8.03pm So, England will need 168 to win. It'll be a record score in T20Is at Edgbaston, which is largely to Shafali Verma's credit. Her blistering 75 from 41 was the meat and drink of this innings. She gave the quicks a rough time at the top of the innings, but England's slow bowlers, led by Charlie Dean's three-for, found some traction through the middle. The series is gone, but plenty of pride at stake here. Ashish will be back to launch the chase shortly.
