- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 castled her Brought this one back in off the seam sharply, and Jemimah pushed at it, not covering for the movement. The ball takes the inside edge and crashes into the stumps. Great start by England and Brunt 0/128.3 she's pulled this straight down the throat of square leg. Frustrated shot from Mandhana, looks like she was getting a little itchy. Does the hard work and then throws it away. She's so angry that she smashes the bat onto her pad. There was a 100 for the taking. Katherine Brunt has been brought back and it has taken her three deliveries to strike. Huge moment potentially. 129/229 sneaked through her defence with an in-ducker. Superb bowling. Lands this on the seam just outside off, Raut is drawn forward to defend but leaves a big gap, the ball sneaks through to crash into the stumps. Twin strikes and India are pegged back again. 131/332.4 Brunt is unstoppable She's got a fifer now, and has just sent back Mithali Raj, lbw. But hold on, there's a massive inside edge. Unlucky for Mithali. Scratch that, Sarah Taylor caught the ball, so it's actually caught behind. This was pitched on a good length on the fourth stump line, and Brunt has been getting those to move in consistently throughout the day. This one did too, and took Mithali's inside edge on to pad. Then bounced off and Taylor caught it. Brilliant, reflex take, the ball pinged her body and she managed to hold on to it 140/530.4 trapped in front big shout, that looked really close. Good length ball pitched outside off and nipped in, Meshram was stuck on the crease and prodded forward outside the line. The ball strikes her in front of middle and would have gone on to hit the stumps. Brunt is on fire, and India are in the middle of a collapse 133/433.3 castled India have gone from 129 for 1 to 144 for 6. Shrubsole gets into the act now with one that moves in sharply. Bhatia was walking into the drive, ends up playing all around this as it nips in through a sizeable gap between bat and pad to take out the stumps. This is all unravelling rather quickly. 144/637.2 gone! length ball outside off, coming in with the angle but the bounce did Jhulan in. Bounced up higher than she was expecting, and it took the inside edge of the bat even as she was trying to adjust, bounced off pad and looped up for an easy catch by Taylor 150/748.2 chipped back! Soft dismissal but she's made a vital contribution. The ball stopped on her, through with the shot before the ball arrived. Stepped out and looked to turn this square, leading edge and gone. 197/8Extras19 (b 4, lb 3, w 12)TOTAL205/8 (50 Overs, RR: 4.1)Did not bat: RS GayakwadFall of wickets: 1-0 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 0.2 ov), 2-129 (Smriti Mandhana, 28.3 ov), 3-131 (Punam Raut, 28.6 ov), 4-133 (Mona Meshram, 30.4 ov), 5-140 (Mithali Raj, 32.4 ov), 6-144 (Taniya Bhatia, 33.3 ov), 7-150 (Jhulan Goswami, 37.2 ov), 8-197 (Shikha Pandey, 48.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5 no timing on the pull, gets it high on the bat and Mandhana takes a smart catch running backwards at mid-on. Jhulan hit the hard length, put in considerable effort to get this to rise and has been rewarded. 25/110.2 Jhulan strikes again All three wickets to her and England are in trouble now. This one was on a length and pitched bang on middle stump, Beaumont played for the line, but the ball nipped away just a touch - exactly the amount needed - and took the outside edge. The ball looped up and settled into the lone slip's hands. 39/38.3 that's a superb catch standing up to the stumps. Winfield looks to force one on the up but is done in by minute deviation off the deck as she nicks off. 38/231 nicks it behind! This was too close to cut, but she didn't give herself room, merely went at it with her hands and the loop given to the delivery meant it bounced a little bit extra too - just enough to brush the top and take a think edge through to the keeper. That's the wicket India wanted, and the match is back in balance 118/611.2 bunted straight back to the bowler! England in tatters. tossed up outside off and she comes down the track, gets to the pitch of the ball too, but her drive is a little tentative, and she hits it straight back off the inside half of the bat. A delighted Deepti catches it and throws the ball in the air in jubilation. 40/415 rapped in front and this time she's gone this one looked a lot closer. Off-cutter that seams in from a length and hits her on the back leg while she is on the back foot. That looked like it would crash into the stumps. 49/542.1 she's holed out to long-on. Wyatt, what have you done? Pandey comes back to strike a massive, massive blow. Looked to go over the bowler's head, didn't get to the pitch, ended up dragging it a little and Meshram comes up with a vital contribution. 174/748.4 she's hit this straight to midwicket. Is there life in the game yet? Half-tracker, sat up nicely and Brunt slapped this for Raut to take an excellent catch 204/8Extras11 (b 4, w 7)TOTAL208/8 (48.5 Overs, RR: 4.25)Did not bat: A HartleyFall of wickets: 1-25 (Amy Jones, 4.6 ov), 2-38 (Lauren Winfield-Hill, 8.3 ov), 3-39 (Tammy Beaumont, 10.2 ov), 4-40 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 11.2 ov), 5-49 (Sarah Taylor, 14.6 ov), 6-118 (Heather Knight, 30.6 ov), 7-174 (Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 42.1 ov), 8-204 (Katherine Sciver-Brunt, 48.4 ov)
