- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.5 dollied to cover, Davies breaks through! Full ball from round the wicket and Mandhana was trying to launch this over the top, skewed it high but not very far... and Mady Villiers scurried around from mid-off to complete the catch 70/19.1 Verma holes out! Villiers strikes first ball! Full and flighted, tempted the big shot to the leg side, again it went high - but Sciver was going to her right from long-on, and never looked like dropping it. Caught well in front of the rope, and England celebrate with gusto the big wicket of Verma 72/215.4 six and out, haven't you heard that before? Harmanpreet wanted more runs in the over and she charged down while making some room, probably expecting a change of line from the bowler, and she lofted the drive towards wide long-off where Brunt ran to her left and put in a forward dive to get both hands under that 112/317.6 straight back to Sciver and she holds on! Another cutter from Sciver, Ghosh drives it back on the up and Sciver gets both her hands over head while shutting her eyes and still manages to hold on 125/4Extras9 (w 9)TOTAL148/4 (20 Overs, RR: 7.4)Fall of wickets: 1-70 (Smriti Mandhana, 8.5 ov), 2-72 (Shafali Verma, 9.1 ov), 3-112 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 15.4 ov), 4-125 (Richa Ghosh, 17.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.4 Beaumont misses again, another loud appeal and this time finger goes up but England review this time! The orthodox sweep this time, even though she came down the track, the ball pitches on off and middle, and goes on to clip the top of leg stump according to ball-tracking and the decision stays because it's "umpire's call". India finally have a breakthrough 106/31.6 mistimed to mid-off! Wyatt departs cheaply, stretching for the shot, she flat-bats it straight to mid-off. Couldn't generate the power, possibly because she had to be mindful of staying in her crease, sent a straightforward catch to India's captain. That's an important early breakthrough 13/12.5 full and wide, the keeper fumbles it, England try to steal another... but Ghosh throws down the stumps with Sciver short! What a huge moment in this chase! No doubt about it, she wasn't getting in, as Ghosh collected, turned and hurled in one motion. England's in-form hitter is gone having faced just a single ball 31/213.5 India think they have another wicket, it's gone to the third umpire again! Jones struck the ball down the ground towards Knight and mid-on, Deepti goes to her right and the ball deflects off her right leg while she tumbles in anticipation of colliding with Knight. Knight is stepping back to make her crease but Deepti comes in the way and the ball hits the stumps! Who has written this script?! Knight has to go back 106/416.5 straight to square leg, the simplest of catches! Jones is the big wicket, she goes deep and across in the crease and pulls the slow delivery, at 58kph, straight into Sneh Rana's hands 125/615.4 is that another run out, India look confident before the third umpire makes the decision! Yes, Dunkley's dive wasn't enough and England lose another. India are thrilled amid the loud applause from the crowd. Jones chipped the ball to deep midwicket and she hesitated before taking off for the second, Dunkley responded but an accurate throw from Mandhana at the bowler's end is enough 120/518.3 edged to the keeper, Poonam gets the reward! A bit of shuffling in the crease before Brunt swings and edges it behind, sharp catch by Richa Ghosh and India inch closer 134/719.2 bunts it down the ground to long-on for one and there's another appeal for the third umpire! It's really close, Villiers' bat is being dragged along the ground when the keeper whips the bails off. is a part of the bat beyond the line when the bails are taken off? Doesn't look like. It's really tough to be 100% accurate with this frame by fame movement, and the decision is out! India celebrate yet again. Here's what happened again: Ecclestone was satisfied with one and didn't even turn back after completing the run but Villiers wanted another and came a long way down, only to turn back casually and realise a little late that the throw came to her end and she fell marginally short 137/8Extras19 (b 2, lb 3, nb 3, w 11)TOTAL140/8 (20 Overs, RR: 7)Did not bat: FR DaviesFall of wickets: 1-13 (Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 1.6 ov), 2-31 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 2.5 ov), 3-106 (Tammy Beaumont, 13.4 ov), 4-106 (Heather Knight, 13.5 ov), 5-120 (Sophia Dunkley, 15.4 ov), 6-125 (Amy Jones, 16.5 ov), 7-134 (Katherine Sciver-Brunt, 18.3 ov), 8-137 (Mady Villiers, 19.2 ov)
