8pm Well, that was a mighty fightback from India. They were in serious bother at 31 for 3 in the Powerplay, with Mandhana and Harmanpreet both gone cheaply. But Jemimah Rodrigues and Amanjot Kaur didn't simply piece together the innings, they tore England apart in the middle overs, before Richa Ghosh applied her own hard-hitting cameo at the end. Trouble for England, given what happened in the first match. They looked a bit clueless at times in the field there, and will need calm heads for a stiff chase. Shashank will be here shortly to find out how they get on.
