    8.3 plinked to mid-off! Verma never got going... and now she's been and gone. Shimmied out once again but couldn't get the height on her thump down the ground, in the end presenting a tame catch to Ecclestone on the edge of the ring. England finally breakthrough in the ninith over 77/1
    19.2 miscued into the off side, Mandhana finally falls! She gets an ovation as she walks from the field. Better length from Ecclestone, maybe gripped a touch. This time Mandhana's attempt to launch it over the covers ends up looping to the fielder on the edge of the circle. What a knock, though, her maiden T20I hundred and a real captain's innings after her side were put in 202/5

    15.6 clubbed... but well held in the deep! Wide line and Deol didn't quite have enough on this slog across the line and Arlott does well running around from long-on to pouch it in front of the rope. A fine knock, but Bell finally brings about some respite for England 171/2
    17.2 holes out to wide long-off! Bell has another and Ghosh's brief charge is stalled. Pace off again, I think, and she slices her aerial shot straight down the throat of Dunkley, who holds it securely 186/3
    17.4 clubbed to cover point, superbly held! Another slower ball, very wide and Rodrigues tries to manufacture something. Snapped up low by Sciver-Brunt as she tumbled forwards. Third of the day for Bell 190/4

    0.6 slashed... and the edge is superbly held! Flat-footed chop at the swinging ball from Dunkley and it comes off the top edge. On another day, it would have flown high and wide of the keeper for four, but Ghosh does brilliantly to wrap her glove-tips around the ball going to her right. Kaur breaks through for India in the opening over 9/1
    1.1 edged straight to short third! Wyatt-Hodge's nightmare against fingerspin this summer continues... Deepti strikes first ball and England are properly on the ropes now. Pushed through outside off, maybe a hint of drift away, with Wyatt-Hodge looking to work it leg side. Comes off a thick leading edged for a simple catch 9/2
    14.1 landed on a length, NSB cuts and the ball nestles in the gloves again... Ghosh is convinced there was a nick on this! India review the not-out from umpire Middlebrook. Yes, there's a scratch on UltraEdge! That's Sciver-Brunt done for, and England's last hope of a miracle is extinguished. Third on debut for Shree Charani and India are one away from wrapping up a huge win 111/9
    5.6 bowled on the charge! Deepti sticks to her angle of attack and kisses leg stump as Beaumont swings across the line in vain. India claim a third wicket from the final ball of the powerplay to strengthen their grip on this game 58/3
    6.3 stumped, despite a fumble! Jones trudges off, having seemingly given up on it. The ball turned and beat the attempted drive, Ghosh didn't take it cleanly but Jones, realising her back leg wouldn't stretch, then made no attempt to get her bat in as the keeper eventually clasped the ball and broke the bails 62/4
    8.2 Shree Charani strikes on debut! Sliced tamely to short third!, England lose their fifth wicket and already this looks like a case of damage limitation. Tossed up outside off, Capsey goes for the big drive without getting near the pitch, a thick outside edge gobbled up on the edge of the circle 70/5
    10.5 leading edge, snapped up in the covers! Arlott's brief riposte is a short one. Floated up on the stumps, nice and slow with just a smidge of turn as Arlott tries to go leg side again. Loops to Mandhana and she makes no mistake 88/6
    12.2 slogged down the throat of deep midwicket! Planted the front foot and went for the big hit, but it's another miss for England as Ecclestone slopes off. She went with the wind but couldn't get it over the boundary rider. Second wicket on debut for Shree Charani 102/7
    13.6 nicked to the keeper! Filer stands and swishes at one on a wide line and just gets a tickle of toe-end on the ball. Ghosh doing more good work stood up to the stumps. Up goes the finger and England are almost fully cooked here 111/8

    14.5 Bell holes out, India win by 97 runs! Slogged high into the leg side, Rodrigues is out there on the midwicket boundary and settled underneath it, takes a composed catch and then charges off in celebration. England have been thumped at Trent Bridge, and that will light a fire under the series! 113/10
