N Sciver-Brunt c Mandhana b Deepti 50 (Eng 120-5)
And now she's gone! Two balls on from getting her fifty, Sciver-Brunt pulls right into the hands of Smriti Mandhana at short third.
England have really picked out the fielders for these catches today.
Here comes Sophie Ecclestone.
Fifty for Sciver-Brunt!published at 16.3. overs
That's a vital innings from England's vice captain!
She came in with England in a precarious position and has rebuilt with first Heather Knight and now Amy Jones.
Sharma started her over with two balls, but Sciver-Brunt got off 49 with a sweep to long-on.

Eng 117-4published at 16 overs
We might have expected Nat Sciver-Brunt to be the one to up the pace, given she's had time to get settled, but it's Amy Jones that has taken up the mantle.
She turns Radha Yadav round the corner for four, before making it consecutive boundaries over cover.

Image source, Getty ImagesWhat a shot that was! A real show of aggression. It went miles and it's a real show of intent for the next five overs.

Amy Jones seems to have her eye in now!
After a couple of quiet overs she's upped the rate for England in this over. She absolutely clouts Pooja Vastrakar's final ball, almost making it onto the balcony of the building at mid-wicket.
Between those boundaries, England brought their 100 up.
Eng 96-4published at 14.1 overs
Fantastic improvisation from Amy Jones!
She sets herself to scoop Pooja Vastrakar but seems to change her mind on direction as the ball comes down - she was going to send it to fine leg, but pivots to send it to the boundary at third.

No.
She's a mile in.
It's a good job that India's bowlers are doing such a good job, because their appealing has been decidedly funky.
Umpire reviewpublished at 13.4 overs
Another interesting appeal from India! Ghosh is convinced Amy Jones stepped out of her crease after the ball came through. She whips off the bails.
Let's see...

20-1 for Pandey off her four.

Amy Jones is the next batter in and she and Sciver-Brunt work the singles from Radha Yadav as England look to rebuild again.

It's an absolute gift of a wicket just as England were looking comfortable.

BBC Test Match SpecialHow did Heather Knight manage to pick the fielder out there? Shikha Pandey smiles because she knows that was far from her best delivery.
WICKETpublished at 11 overs
Knight c Verma b Pandey 28 (Eng 80-4)
Oh no! Just as England were building a platform for an assault on the final overs, Heather Knight is gone.
An innocuous full toss from Pandey, and Knight simply pushes it to Verma at cover - she was the only fielder out there!
Knight looks skyward in despair.

Sciver-Brunt and Knight are making the most of some very questionable bowling.
Eng 77-3published at 10.3 overs
India return to seam with Pandey after two expensive overs of spin.
Knight steps across and swipes her to the square-leg ropes.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialIt's a good partnership from England and this is what they needed. Now they can start to capitalise again.
