- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.4 third for Renuka, she's hit the stumps again! She's giggling away as her team-mates mob her in celebration. Dunkley backed away to drive on the off side, but the ball kept coming in and knocked over her leg stump. It's flat on the floor! 29/30.3 first ball duck for Wyatt and what a take from Ghosh! Impeccable line from Renuka to swing it in towards off, Wyatt has to play at it or she'll lose her stumps. But the poke is tentative, takes a thin outside edge. Ghosh's initial movement is to her left because of the inswing, but the edge has taken the ball the other way, and she manages to switch directions and stick her right glove out, the ball just about stays in and India are elated 1/12.1 a swing far from the ball and Renuka strikes again! Not sure what Capsey was trying because her swing was more on middle and leg while the ball swung in from outside off and knocked over top of off stump 10/216.5 Deepti gets the big wicket of Sciver-Brunt! And it is that reverse lap that brings her downfall. Excellent take from Mandhana, though, diving forward from short third. Lands it on a length outside off, slows it down. Sciver-Brunt has to wait to play that shot and only miscues it towards the fielder. 120/510.6 First wicket in international cricket for Shikha Pandey, since THAT Alyssa Healy dismissal in October 2021! And it's a lucky wicket you have to say, though she has toiled hard for less in earlier games. Bowls a juicy full toss outside off, Knight picks out the only fielder front of the wicket on the off side in the ring - cover. She can't believe what she has done. Smiles on Pandey's face! 80/419.4 Huge appeal for a catch! The finger is raised! Fourth wicket for Renuka. Ecclestone asks Jones if she wants to opt for the review but Jones knows she's gloved it. It is very full outside off, she looks to reverse paddle it but lobs it up off her gloves. Ghosh moves to her right and pouches it with ease. 147/619.5 Maiden five-wicket haul in T20Is for Renuka! What a spell this has been from her at the world stage. Bowls it very full and outside off, Sciver-Brunt looks to go over long-on but finds Radha there. Renuka has her arms aloft. 147/7Extras9 (b 4, lb 1, w 4)TOTAL151/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.55)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 0.3 ov), 2-10 (Alice Capsey, 2.1 ov), 3-29 (Sophia Dunkley, 4.4 ov), 4-80 (Heather Knight, 10.6 ov), 5-120 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 16.5 ov), 6-147 (Amy Jones, 19.4 ov), 7-147 (Katherine Sciver-Brunt, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.6 Goes leg side and finds long-on! Mandhana is distraught, England are delighted. They know what this means. Mandhana dances down and commits to the shot pretty early. Glenn bowled it around off and middle, which meant Mandhana had to go over the on side. It is the longer side and she picks out KSB to perfection. Has a word with Ghosh before walking out. Head down. 105/43.6 Bell has been searching for accuracy and she gets her first wicket with a short ball! Short ball, Shafali opens up and makes room for a swat down the ground for a leading edge and mid-on gets under it easily 29/19.1 Rodrigues finds long-on just inside the rope! No boundaries so she wanted to get going, came down to get to the pitch of the ball and lofted it down but straight to long-on 57/210.2 Capsey juggles... but holds on! Ecclestone snares Harmanpreet and India slide into trouble. She looks to take on the left-arm spinner by using her feet. Looks to hack it away but the slight turn on that maker her sky it. It goes a long way high but only towards covers, where Capsey moves to her left and hold on on the second attempt. 62/318.2 Deepti charges down and heaves it to deep midwicket. It lands just short of the fielder, who dives forward to stop that. Returns a sharp throw to the wicketkeeper, and Deepti is short despite the dive. 119/5Extras7 (nb 1, w 6)TOTAL140/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7)Fall of wickets: 1-29 (Shafali Verma, 3.6 ov), 2-57 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 9.1 ov), 3-62 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 10.2 ov), 4-105 (Smriti Mandhana, 15.6 ov), 5-119 (Deepti Sharma, 18.2 ov)
