    That is a beautiful shot. She just got the width to put her hands through it. As soon as she hit it she knew and she just held the pose.

    India have been able to put partnerships together and that was something that England weren't able to do. Whenever you thought England were about to they lost a wicket.

    We haven't really seen the pitch play up like it did in the England innings either. England's spinners haven't been able to find anywhere near as much spin.

  8. Ind 212-3published at 42 overs

    Need 16 runs from 48 balls

    Have some of that! Harmanpreet Kaur charges down the pitch to Sophie Ecclestone, the world's number one bowler, and hammers a lovely four runs.

    India are closing in.

    It has been a really composed innings from Harmanpreet Kaur. She has just knocked the ball around and ran well with Mandhana and she's almost seen her side home.

  10. Ind 205-3published at 41 overs

    Target 228

    Kate Cross finishes with another dot ball to end with 2-43 from her 10 overs. She has done little wrong.

    Harmanpreet Kaur has played beautifully here.

  12. 50 runs

    50 for Harmanpreet Kaurpublished at 17:42 British Summer Time 18 September 2022

    A captain's knock.

    Harmanpreet Kaur ticks over to her fifty from 80 balls.

    Here's how Kate Cross removed Smriti Mandhana nine runs short of her century...

  14. Ind 204-3published at 40 overs

    Need 24 runs from 60 balls

    That may not have been out but there's just a little bit of commotion out there all of a sudden. A ball later Deol is called through for a single. She would have been miles out had the throw hit.

  15. Not outpublished at 17:38 British Summer Time 18 September 2022

    Yep, Deol has got a big inside edge.

  16. India reviewpublished at 17:38 British Summer Time 18 September 2022

    Given!

    Harleen Deol is out lbw. It took a long time for the finger to go up and she reviews...

  17. Ind 202-3published at 39 overs

    Need 26 runs from 66 balls

    More dots are starting to come for England but, in truth, they're going to need wickets to have any chance. Harmanpreet Kaur is still there after the loss of Mandhana on 48 not out.

  18. Postpublished at 17:34 British Summer Time 18 September 2022

    Kate Cross continues...

    I tell you what, when you're having a bad day the ball just follows you, and she almost dived past it.

    That was a tough chance because it went quickly and low but she did get to it.
