Six overs to go. Can England make 220?
Not outpublished at 43 overs
Settle down. Alice Davidson-Richards has got back into her ground after a mix-up with Charlie Dean.
Still, she could do with suggesting new batter Dean settles down.

It's all going on. We might have a run-out a ball after that Ecclestone wicket.

Yep. It's absolutely plumb. Sophie Ecclestone has to go for a very important 31.

Oh dear. This looks out - Sophie Ecclestone trapped in front.
Optimistically she is persuaded to review.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialSophie Ecclestone has played the sweep shot incredibly well today. It isn't a shot she usually plays.
Eng 176-6published at 42 overs
I cannot help but be continually impressed by Sophie Ecclestone. Another sweep off the spin of Gayakwad heads down to fine leg for her fourth four in 30 balls.
200 is well within reach now.

Jhulan Goswami is done for the day, with the ball at least. She gets some lovely applause from the crowd as she finishes with 1-20.
She has two more games to go in her career before retiring.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialSophie Ecclestone has looked really good out there. I genuinely believe she could bat higher than she is.
She has got the technique, but it is the mindset.
I remember a long time ago in India that everyone was going that Ecclestone was going to be a really good player. She came down the pitch and played a drive for four over Goswami and everyone on the bench was like 'you'll be in next ball Alex because she'll look to do it again' and she did get out.
She has matured a lot since then. She's speaking to Alice Davidson-Richards in the middle at the moment.

Davidson-Richards 25, Ecclestone 21
Another good shot from Sophie Ecclestone, although this time only for a single as she clobbers the ball down the ground.
She's batting a run a ball. Really good stuff from a much-improved batter.

Sophie Ecclestone sweeps perfectly between two fielders on the boundary.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialJhulan Goswami has bowled so well. What is most impressive is just the fact she has bowled full and straight, she hasn't done anything too different.
Eng 153-6published at 39 overs
Goswami turns 40 in a couple of months. This has been such a good spell. It hasn't been particularly quick but relentlessly accurate.
She has bowled nine overs for 1-17.
