- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR21.4 Huge appeal, given! Was the impact in line? Is height a factor? Mandhana reviews. Flighted ball on a length outside off, she gets down to sweep but misses, wears it on the outer half of her front pad. England ask the question and the umpire relents. Umpire's call on impact, hitting the stumps. Hugs blow for India now. Their slide continues as the set Mandhana departs for 35. 71/63.4 inside-edge and gone! 100th ODI wicket for Shrubsole. Loose from Yastika, leaves a gap between bat and pad, gets forward to drive the ball that shapes in, gets faint inside-edge which clips the top of middle. England have the early wicket 18/15.2 big wicket and Mithali is out early again. Full outside off, she drives and can't keep it down, low grab coming forward at cover-point. No doubts about the catch, straight in to the hands. The third umpire confirms the same. England on top 25/27.6 direct-hit and well out. That's an error from Deepti. She is not even in the frame. That's badly judged by the left-hander. Driven wide of mid-off, hit firmly and Deepti calls for the quick single, Cross moves to her left and fires in a direct-hit with three stumps to aim at. England elated and India three-down inside the 10 overs 28/316.2 Nicked off! Success for Dean pretty early. Sana Mir recalled that Nida Dar had dismissed Harmanpreet in the first game, Dean gets into the act almost on cue. Lands the flighted ball full outside off. Harmanpreet lunged forward to defend, anticipating the turn. But the ball goes straight on, takes the edge and settles in Jones' mitts. Big, big strike for England. 61/416.4
A very short stay for Rana in the middle. Another full ball outside off, going straight, inviting the drive. Rana fails to resist the temptation and nicks it to the wicketkeeper. Not the best of shots considering there was a slip in place, too. India's batting crumbling again... 61/5 33.1 more good work from England in the field and Richa has to walk back. Turned to mid-wicket, Richa set off for the run, sent back though and the dive isn't good enough - the bat's in the air when the stumps are broken. The partnership is broken 123/824.3 Vastrakar given the marching orders again, reviews again. Flatter and quicker around middle, she goes down to sweep across the line again, but misses. Plumb this time as the Hawk-Eye returns three reds. The end is nigh. 86/733.5 straight to backward point. Full outside off, Goswami square-drives away from the body, can't keep it down and straight down the throat of Wyatt. India lose their ninth. A wicket for Cross 129/936.2 Dean finishes it off. She has a four-fer. Quicker on the stumps, full, Meghna sweeps and misses, Dean pumps her fist and India are bowled out for 134 134/10Extras13 (lb 3, w 10)TOTAL134 all out (36.2 Overs, RR: 3.68)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (Yastika Bhatia, 3.4 ov), 2-25 (Mithali Raj, 5.2 ov), 3-28 (Deepti Sharma, 7.6 ov), 4-61 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 16.2 ov), 5-61 (Sneh Rana, 16.4 ov), 6-71 (Smriti Mandhana, 21.4 ov), 7-86 (Pooja Vastrakar, 24.3 ov), 8-123 (Richa Ghosh, 33.1 ov), 9-129 (Jhulan Goswami, 33.5 ov), 10-134 (Meghna Singh, 36.2 ov)Bowling O M R W Econ 0s 4s 6s WD NB K Sciver-Brunt 4 0 18 0 4.50 16 2 0 1 0 A Shrubsole 6 1 20 2 3.33 29 3 0 2 0 Nat Sciver-Brunt 4 0 16 0 4.00 16 1 0 2 0 S Ecclestone 9 1 27 1 3.00 39 3 0 1 0 CE Dean 8.2 1 23 4 2.76 34 2 0 0 0 KL Cross 3 0 23 1 7.66 11 3 1 2 0 HC Knight 2 0 4 0 2.00 8 0 0 0 0

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.6 Mithali has gone for the LBW review. She thinks this is pad first. Yes it is. What a fine review that is. Hitting the stumps and Beaumont is gone. India all pumped. Inswinger on a good length, shapes in late, Beaumont with her high backlift allows the ball to hit her pad first in line with the stumps, then she drives to mid-off, but India knew that it was pad before bat and go for the review. And they are proven right. Game on now 4/21.1 what a catch at slip! Meghna roars in delight and gives a send-off with her face to Wyatt. The length ball outside off, sticks a bit, bounces and stops on Wyatt who wanted to pull out of the shot, but pushes awkwardly, the thick edge flies to Rana's right, she takes it behind her with a full-length dive and goes down clutching it with her left hand. Sensational stuff 3/116.6 Uh, oh! Soft, soft dismissal for Sciver against the run of play. Is that the comment's curse there? Sciver looks to work the length ball to the on side but ends up spooning a top edge. Goswami from midwicket settles under it and that is that. End of the 65-run partnership. 69/324.4 What a catch! Harmanpreet Kaur picks one that would go in the reels of one of the catches of the tournament. Jones look to charge down and go over mid-on this time. Mistimes it but seemed to have gotten enough to clear Harmanpreet. But the Indian vice-captain has her eyes on the ball, backtracks and times the leap perfectly to hang on to it over her head. 102/429.1 Edged and taken! Soft dismissal for Dunkley. Meghna gets her second wicket. Length ball outside off, Dunks looked to run it to third man. Got too close to her. Gets a thick edge, Ghosh dives forward and takes it. Good little cameo from Dunkley ends. 128/529.3 Two wickets in the over, what are England upto? Banged in short - a taste of Brunt's own medicine - which she looks to pull. Gets a top edge and Ghosh settles under it after moving to her left and takes it. Two-ball duck for Brunt. Seven runs for England to get and, dare I say, four wickets for India. 128/6Extras4 (w 4)TOTAL136/6 (31.2 Overs, RR: 4.34)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 1.1 ov), 2-4 (Tammy Beaumont, 2.6 ov), 3-69 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 16.6 ov), 4-102 (Amy Jones, 24.4 ov), 5-128 (Sophia Dunkley, 29.1 ov), 6-128 (Katherine Sciver-Brunt, 29.3 ov)
