12:28 pm: India have a decent score on the board after opting to bat, thanks mainly to Smriti Mandhana's blistering 61 off 32. Shafali and Harmanpreet could not get going, the latter after a period of consolidation. But Jemimah held things together and finished with a flurry. For England, Brunt was good, but had chances missed. Ecclestone was uncharacteristically not bankable but Sarah Glenn and Freya Kemp were. Sciver picked Mandhana's wicket which could have saved 15-20 by itself. But after turning the lid down for a while, England did let India off the hook towards the end. Having said that, 164 is a chaseable score on this fresh pitch which has assisted the sticks on a sunny day. Andrew McGlashan will be back to call the start of the chase.

Samraat: "Given the start, India should have scored at least 175-180. I think they are few runs short. Nevertheless good target on the big semi-final."

Joydeepsinghgil: "What a discipline bowling outta England they conceded 64 within just powerplay afterwards they've done a great job in the next 16 overs they just conceded 100 runs "

Brunt to Rodrigues, FOUR, No, Jemimah went wide, Brunt even wider. The ball was full and the batter stood wide apart, reached out and smacked a drive just over cover for four.

Final ball, just five off the over so far. Can Brunt finish it off?

Brunt to Rodrigues, 1 run, OUT, Short on the body, pulled to the right of deep midwicket. They scamper for two, Brunt collects the throw and lunges to her right to dislodge the bails. The decision goes upstairs. Looks like she's a centimetre or two short. Brunt did well to have her left foot outstretched, and lunge across. She let the ball go last second and it was enough to cut down one run.
