CAROLINE WAWERU: "Arise SIR Dunkley"

Quick turnaround here as England race out to warm-up for their bowling innings. England's sixth-highest Test total. Sampath Bandarupalli: "Just the 4th instance of five 50+ partnerships in a Women's Test innings and the first for England.

Annesha Ghosh points out that Rana has become the fifth bowler to take four in an innings for India Women in a Test.

Rana to Shrubsole, OUT, keeps slightly low from a length, crashing into the stumps via an under-edge as Shrubsole looks to swing into the leg side, and England have declared. England applaud Dunkley off the field, unbeaten on 74, but Shrubsole's long-handled bludgeoning after lunch has been very important too.

A Shrubsole b Rana 47 (49m 33b 6x4 1x6) SR: 142.42

Over the wicket

Now Rana asks umpire Watts to check if the ball is still in shape. It fits through the gauge. On we go.

Rana to Shrubsole, FOUR, skips down the wicket, thumping inside-out over the bowler's head for four! Perfect placement between long-on and long-off. One bounce, and over the rope

More field changes. Rana is round the wicket. No close catchers.

END OF OVER:

  • Sneh Rana39-4-127-3

Normally I can't stand slow over-rate chat but this is pretty heinous: three overs bowled in 16 minutes since lunch!

Pandey to Dunkley, FOUR, down on one knee, slog-swept off leg stump away through backward square leg for four! Bit of a freebie on the pads, but Dunkley does so well to get into position early, and times it sweetly

MikeB: "Well I know I said I was hoping for fireworks from Dunkley, but I'll happily take them from Shrubsole too! Here we gooooooo!"
