10.03pm Well, that was quite the contest... quite the day! England versus India has been an 11-hour smorgasbord, featuring two 150 scores, nine ducks, collapses and partnerships aplenty, and so much drama from Edgbaston to the Oval. And at the end of it, both the men's and women's series are very much alive. From Miller, Shashank, Harshith and the team, good night!

Oh, and according to Hypocaust, who knows a thing or two, Lauren Filer's speeds in the 16th over according to the TV graphics, were 79, 76, 78, 73, 79, 76mph, making it the fastest recorded over in women's cricket. Wheels!

9.55pm Time for some presentations.

Sophia Dunkley is Player of the Match, her excellent innings seems a long time ago now! "We've had a tough start to the series, to come out there and fight like we did was amazing. The courage to stay in the series. Danni and I didn't have a great start to the series, but a great relationship. Been a lot of tinkering but happy with where my batting's at. Haven't played in a game like that, atmosphere on home ground was amazing."

Harmanpreet Kaur: "Because of the dew... we did well in patches. We've been outstanding today, fielders supported well, bowled really well. Came back strongly after the hundred partnership. They executed their plan well, we were looking for boundaries, and fell one short."

Tammy Beaumont: "That's what you live for in cricket, came out on the right side. I'm all about the battle and the challenge, so proud of everyone. The wicket was hard to start on, and the longer the partnership went on, we forgot that. But we'll learn from that. This is a massive moment for this team, to lose Nat and have an inexperienced team show that fight. Wasn't the perfect game, but significant improvement. We can go toe-to-toe with this India team, death bowling was so good, and Filer changed the game for us, bowling fast and hitting people on the head. Went with the five out-and-out bowlers. Incredibly proud."

9.48pm Genuine euphoria for England. They had to scrap and scrap for that... having given the match away with the bat in the first innings, with the ball in the first half, and in the field in the second half. But between Wong, Ecclestone, Filer, Dean and Bell, they found enough gumption to close down the game and claw their way back into the series! Verma and Mandhana seemed to have broken the game into tiny pieces in their 85-run stand. But the bowlers hung in there, and Dean's clutch catch at square leg gave them the belief to stay afloat.

Bell to H Kaur, OUT, pace off, slogged to mid-off! Finally, a catch sticks, Bell gets her reward, England get their win! Bell backed her skill and went to her length, demanding that Kaur put the muscle through the ball. And she couldn't. What a gripping contest!

H Kaur c Ecclestone b Bell 23 (32m 17b 2x4 0x6) SR: 135.29

Well crumbs... at least the super over is off the table!

Bell to H Kaur, 2 runs, pace off again, slogged up and over mid-off, but not enough beans on it! They get back for two... Six to win!

Bell to H Kaur, no run, slower ball, swing and a miss! Kaur needs boundaries now! Right in the channel, perfection from Bell, putting the frustration to one side

Bell to AB Kaur, 1 run, gets underneath the launch to leg, dropped at long-on! My God, England's fielding! Scholfield this time, crumbling under the pressure! It's only a single, at least...

Bell to H Kaur, 1 run, well bowled, right up in the blockhole and cuffed out to deep midwicket. Harmanpreet doesn't want the second

Bell to H Kaur, 2 runs, pace off, on the full length, plinked in the air into the leg-side, it lands safe, and in no-woman's land, so back they come for two!

Lauren Bell has 12 runs to defend.
