  1. Ind 67-2published at 12 overs

    58 needed from 48 balls

    Sharma gets underway with a single to mid-wicket.

    That's been a vital over from Charlie Dean - a wicket and just two runs from it.

    WICKETpublished at 11.2 overs

    Rodrigues lbw b Dean 29 (Ind 68-2)

    Gone! That looked very out, and so it proved.

    England desperately needed that, and Rodgrigues looks to the skies.

    India bring in Deepti Sharma at four, ahead of captain Harmanpreet Kaur.

  3. Umpire reviewpublished at 11.2 overs

    A crucial breakthrough for Charlie Dean?

    She strikes Rodrigues on the back leg sweeping - it's given out on the field but India have sent the decision upstairs.

  4. Ind 67-1published at 11 overs

    60 needed from 54 balls

    The rest of the over is less eventful, with just a single off the remaining three deliveries.

    But India are definitely in the ascendancy now.

  5. 6 runs

    Ind 66-1published at 10.3 overs

    Heather Knight brings back Freya Kemp, taker of the only wicket in this innings, for a second over.

    The left-armer struggles with her line, sending down three wides, before Mandhana sends her flying over the boundary at long off to bring up the fifty partnership.

  6. Ind 56-1published at 10 overs

    After that one over Alice Capsey cameo, Charlie Dean returns to the attack, changing ends in the process.

    Three singles from the over and we've reached the halfway stage. India need 71 from 60 deliveries - with this pair at the crease, the hosts remain favourites.

  7. Ind 53-1published at 9 overs

    Just two more singles from the over, as Ecclestone tightens her line.

  8. 6 runs

    Ind 51-1published at 8.2 overs

    Oh my, that's big!

    Mandhana brings up India's fifty, sending Ecclestone flying over the ropes at mid-wicket for six.

    A rare off day for England's premier spinner?

  9. Ind 44-1published at 8 overs

    Alice Capsey gets her first bowl of the series and sends down a tidy over, just the three runs from it.

    This partnership is now worth 33.

  10. Ind 41-1published at 7 overs

    Crikey, Sophie Ecclestone enters the attack and Jemimah Rodrigues twice slaps her to the legside ropes with cross bat shots. That doesn't happen to Ecclestone all that often

    Rodrigues then walks away from a delivery rather late - Ecclestone's ball goes on to hit the stumps and the India batter gets a mouthful from England's spinner.

    Bit tasty out there.

  11. Ind 31-1published at 6 overs

    Lovely shot from Rodrigues, using the pace of Gaur and cutting her away to the boundary - the fielder at third runs round but is getting nowhere near that.

    A Freya Kemp throw from point strikes Smriti Mandhana on the hip - she seems unharmed and pulls Gaur to the ropes from the following delivery.

    A better couple of overs from India to end the powerplay.

  12. Ind 22-1published at 5 overs

    Ah, a touch of impetus from Jemimah Rodrigues, crashing Charlie Dean's first ball for four with an expansive sweep.

    Three more singles follow from the over.

  13. Ind 15-1published at 4 overs

    Gaur continues and the England fielders do some good work in the ring to ensure Indian shots don't reach the boundary.

    We've had just five runs from the last 17 deliveries - and two of those were wides in this over.

    Not the most dynamic powerplay so far.

  14. Ind 12-1published at 3 overs

    Just a single from the over, from the final ball, as Rodrigues takes a run to square leg to get off the mark.

  15. Not outpublished at 2.2 overs

    No, not on this occasion.

    The left-hand seamer's delivery is pitching outside leg.

    Regardless, an excellent start to her over.

  16. Umpire reviewpublished at 2.2 overs

    Does Kemp have two wickets in two balls? She thinks she might have new batter Jemimah Rodrigues lbw.

    The umpire isn't buying it, but England are sending it upstairs.

  17. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 2.1 overs

    Verma b Kemp 6 (Ind 11-1)

    Not great cricket, Shafali.

    Freya Kemp has a wicket with her first delivery as Verma backs away, attempting to loft the ball over the covers. She's no way near and Kemp takes the top of the stumps like she's bowling in an empty net.

  18. Ind 11-0published at 2 overs

    Seamer Mahika Gaur, back in the side after missing yesterday's fixture, takes the ball at the other end.

    Verma gets her first boundary from her first delivery, driving down the ground and beating the diving fielder at mid-off.

  19. Ind 6-0published at 1 over

    On this occasion there's no wicket in the first over for Charlie Dean, with Smriti Mandhana timing a nice shot through a gap near point for the first boundary of the innings.

    Dean clutches her face in frustration. Early days...

  20. Postpublished at 15:16 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2023

    A quick turnaround in Mumbai - we're set to get back underway.

    Spinner Charlie Dean will open the bowling again for England - she dismissed Shafali Verma after two balls yesterday. Can she do similar today?
