END OF OVER:
20 | 5 Runs 2 Wkts | ENG-W: 171/9 | RR: 8.55

  • Charlie Dean6 (2b)
  • Lauren Bell1 (3b)
  • Deepti Sharma4-0-27-3
  • Shree Charani4-0-43-2

8.09pm What a truly bizarre innings. Wyatt-Hodge and Dunkley battered 137 from 92 balls, the remainder of the innings amounted to 34 from 28, for the loss of nine wickets! The upshot is that India, having been braced for a 200-run chase, now need to score fewer runs that they made in either innings to date, to claim the series with two games to spare! Deepti Sharma, Shree Charani and Arundhati Reddy were all on hat-tricks as England's innings imploded. Sharma with 3 for 27 emerges as the pick of the bowlers. Shashank is ready to take up the commentary for the second innings.

Karthick : "English men and women's scorecard looks so similar " Indeed... a reminder of how the men finished up today... two centuries, six ducks... there's something in the air tonight!

Akshay: "Less uncomfortable now. " That's the spirit

Sharma to Dean, 2 runs, reverse-sweep, out past deep point, good running as they scamper back... England avoid being all out!

Sharma to Bell, 1 run, flogged firmly through the covers, super intercept from Rodrigues to save three runs

Sharma to Bell, no run, fenced back through the full length, trying to work the single but can't get the timing

Sharma to Bell, no run, solid block. Damn right too

Sharma to Filer, OUT, pinged off the pads, straight to short midwicket! Lauren Filer is aghast! The fielder was only there because India had been penalised for a slow over rate. Instead, a nailed pick-up off the toes produced another hat-trick ball!

L Filer c Mandhana b Sharma 0 (1m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0

Sharma to Ecclestone, OUT, plopped onto the yorker length, plinked back to the bowler! Deary me... what a passage of play. Deepti flings the ball away, almost in disgust at taking so long to find her range. Ecclestone committed to the front foot, and found the ball was no longer on a length she could get behind. Loops off the toe

S Ecclestone c & b Sharma 10 (8m 5b 0x4 1x6) SR: 200

Sharma to Ecclestone, 1 wide, whoops, leg-sided again, Ecclestone watches it go by

Sharma to Ecclestone, 1 wide, round the wicket, down the leg side. Freebie to start

Right, after all that, England are going to struggle to post anything close to what India managed in the first two games. Here's Deepti to close it out

Shree Charani to Dean, FOUR, reverse-sweep, nails it! Picks off the hat-trick ball with a gutsy deflection through the vacant slip. That's got England moving again
18.5

Shree Charani to Wong, OUT, pushed through outside off, Wong rocks back for a cut, feathers the edge to Ghosh! Golly Ghosh indeed! This is one hell of a meltdown!

Shree Charani to Scholfield, OUT, gallops past a slog, stumped! Scholfield tries to match Ecclestone's muscle but makes a hash of it. Off she trundles, as Ghosh does the needful with a juggle

Shree Charani to Ecclestone, 1 run, dragged from outside off again, but pace off this time, so Ecclestone can't time it

Shree Charani to Ecclestone, SIX, blam! Here come the levers! Licence to launch now for the lower order, and Ecclestone obliged with an uncomplicated bomb across the line!

Shree Charani to Ecclestone, 2 runs, thick inside-edge, runs away to the edge of the inner circle and it's an easy two with the field set back

Yadav to Ecclestone, 1 run, good length from round the wicket, punched solidly to mid-off for the single

Issy Wong Sophie Ecclestone. But same principle. Unleash the levers!

17.5

Yadav to Beaumont, OUT, steps too far across, bowled middle stump! That's not the skipper's knock that Beaumont had ordered. But it's 100 T20I wickets for Yadav! Held her line well as Beaumont walked to the off-side for a premeditated sweep, and missed!

TT Beaumont b Yadav 2 (2m 3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 66.66

END OF OVER:

  • Paige Scholfield3 (3b)
  • Arundhati Reddy4-0-32-3
  • Deepti Sharma3-0-22-1

Well, well, well... three wickets in the over. Did I mention it might be tough to get going at the requisite pace?

Peter Parker : "sorry my fault, just switched on after dinner and the first ball I watch is a wicket"

16.6
W
Reddy to Jones, OUT, humungous appeal as Jones plays all around a full one! If there's no bat involved, this is stone-dead, surely! Jones was swishing across the line, but it was too straight for such antics, and sure enough, it's thumping leg stump!

AE Jones lbw b Reddy 0 (2m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0

W
Reddy to Wyatt, OUT, pace off, hacked to cover! England are in danger of losing their way here, but it's still a fine knock from Wyatt-Hodge. She took on the inside-out launch, but didn't get enough bat through it. Loops to a back-pedalling Harmanpreet on the edge of the ring

DN Wyatt c H Kaur b Reddy 66 (75m 42b 7x4 3x6) SR: 157.14

16.4
1
Reddy to Scholfield, 1 run, bottom-handed thump up into the stroke, nice timing but almost too good, the ball lands just short of deep midwicket. DWH does well to turn down the second run

Reddy to Scholfield, 2 runs, finds space in the deep for two to get off the mark
