Sanjay Manjrekar is answering your questions LIVE on our Facebook page now! Do tune in there. 6:25pm Knight is the Player of the Match: It was a very nerve-wracking finish. We lost Hazell, she is a big loss for us. Nice to get a few wickets and get the win. We were nervous, really nice to get over the line. We had a close game, and we have some more tests. Another win, hopefully gets us to the semis.

Edwards, England captain: It does not get any easier. I thought the girls did fantastically well and held their nerve. We have played a game here and better prepared for Thursday night. We did brilliant to break the back of that score in the first six overs.

Raj, India captain: We are in contention. If we win against West Indies, we will have to depend on other results. We realised it was difficult to score runs. We could have shown more application with the ball to pull us through.

India's spinners gave it a rip on a slow, spinning surface, and willed themselves back into the game. Bisht found herself on a hat-trick, as did Kaur, with her assortment of offbreaks and legbreaks. She, however, dropped a pressure catch, a ball before Shrubsole sealed the win in the penultimate over. England get their second straight win, India their second straight loss.

England have an injury worry, though. Hazell has a calf strain and will fly back home. Laura Marsh will be her replacement.

India need to win against WI and rely on other results going their way to sneak into the semis. Thanks for your company. Goodbye for now.

Daniyal Admaney: "Omg what a thriller! India almost snatched it. Kudos to their outstanding fielding, although that drop cost them."

david: "Did I say 'impressive bowling by England' earlier? - Ditto from India, but England's running between wickets was woeful. They can count themselves lucky."

Kshitiz Kharban: "We again see the importance of using new ball and score hard upfront. It gets really tough when ball is old and soft."
