- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.6 another flighted, dipping delivery. Beaumont goes down the ground and looks to clear long-on. Miscues it and it's a simple catch for Mandhana 71/27.2 an appeal for caught-behind but that's mainly from Ghosh. Denied and India are going for the review. Was a length ball outside off, Wyatt went for the reverse sweep but was there any bat involved? Yes. a big spike on the UltraEdge and Wyatt walks back. Radha maintains her streak 56/118.2 an excellent catch to end an equally brilliant knock. Was a fuller delivery outside off. Sciver swipes at it, goes aerial towards long-on where Harmanpreet takes a couple of steps before diving forward and pouches it inches over the ground. They are checking upstairs if the catch is clean and yes, it is. Applause for Sciver as she walks back 163/411.2 brilliant work from Deepti. Knight uses her feet to this length ball but isn't too the pitch of the ball. Pushes it to the right of the non-striker and sets off but Deepti not only dives across to make the stop but also sends in the throw to the keeper while still off-balanced to find the returning Knight well short 85/318.5 Deol gives competition to Kaur with this. But I reckon this is a much better catch. Was a full ball outside off and Jones went aerial towards wide long-off. Deol positioned her at the boundary line, pouched it overhead and the momentum and flicked it up before the momentum took her over the boundary line. And then she jumps in and collects it while still in the air 166/518.6 an appeal for stumping. A length ball outside off, Dunkley goes deep and looks to cut. She misses but Ghosh collects the ball and breaks the stumps. Dunkley was off balanced and her back foot comes outside the crease and front foot was in the air over the line when the bails came off. Pandey gets her third of the over and I guess all were fielders' wickets 166/619.6 in the blockhole. Digs it out towards the left of the bowler. Deepti dives across, fields the ball and flicks it towards the stumps. She misses, had she hit it was a run out. The batters look to sneak in an overthrow. Radha Yadav though is aware at extra cover, collects the ball and fires in the throw to the keeper. Ghosh breaks the stump and the diving Brunt is just short 177/7Extras12 (b 4, lb 3, nb 2, w 3)TOTAL177/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.85)Fall of wickets: 1-56 (Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 7.2 ov), 2-71 (Tammy Beaumont, 8.6 ov), 3-85 (Heather Knight, 11.2 ov), 4-163 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 18.2 ov), 5-166 (Amy Jones, 18.5 ov), 6-166 (Sophia Dunkley, 18.6 ov), 7-177 (Katherine Sciver-Brunt, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.2 bowled her! Verma backs away and misses a straight one! Was she expecting a bumper? Brunt has bumped her off, either way... Just a length ball, really, maybe a bit of cut on it and Verma prodded uncertainly, from well outside leg stump. Hits top of leg, both bails flicked from its groove. Just the start England wanted 0/15.6 picks out deep backward square now! Nailed on the pull, but straight to the fielder! Sciver's short ball claims another victim, though Mandhana will be frustrated because she connected so well, only to send it hard and flat down the throat of Ecclestone 44/26.5 foxes her in the flight, chipped to mid-off! Harmanpreet won't be finding form tonight... tried to get out but the ball dipped late and she could only skew her drive at a catchable height to Ecclestone, who clung on safely. Big wicket for England, Glenn striking in her first over 47/3Extras3 (lb 3)TOTAL54/3 (8.4 Overs, RR: 6.23)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Shafali Verma, 0.2 ov), 2-44 (Smriti Mandhana, 5.6 ov), 3-47 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 6.5 ov)
