- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.6 there's the wicket finally, so that missed lbw doesn't cost India much! Deepti picks up ODI wicket No. 150. This is bowled full on the stumps, there's a hint of drift in that does the trick as Beaumont gets into a tangle as she misses the full delivery. The stumps are knocked back and India breathes a sigh of relief. 73/121.1 that's a superb take at short mid-on! Deepti loops it up nicely, Jones is looking to step out but doesn't get to the pitch but goes through with the shot and ends up chipping it to Mandhana. Full credit to Deepti - drew her forward, wasn't afraid to toss it up. And has reaped the rewards. 98/244.3 poor ball, dragged down, and Knight picked up her pull well... but it's a good sprawling intercept at deep square from Amanjot, and as she gets to her feet quickly, the throw is pinpoint! Knight is barely in the frame as she gallops back for the second. A critical run-out, and how crucial will that be to these closing overs! 249/438.5 made room for the launch, picks out cover! A bit of pressure was building in that over, so NSB decided to take the aerial route. She nailed her timing, to be fair, but Harmanpreet on the edge of the ring timed her leap well and clung on to a fine chance, to make a priceless breakthrough! 211/345.5 attempts the front-foot launch, but can't get the timing or elevation! That was a bit telegraphed. Dunkley was so front-footed in her approach, and Deepti was right in her firing line at long-off 254/548.5 Lamb takes the aerial route and holes out to long-on! Right idea, wrong execution! Big swing through the line, but couldn't generate the power needed to beat Mandhana! England slide once more... 276/746.3 reverses her stance, makes a mess of her reverse-pull! That's a horror shot... Deepti saw her coming, fired the ball into the leg-side to cramp her intentions, and a scuffed pull lobs to cover! England are in freefall now! 257/649.4 reverse-sweep, out to point, Richa gathers well and Ecclestone can't make her ground in time. A waste of a power-hitter there! 280/8Extras13 (lb 4, nb 1, w 8)TOTAL288/8 (50 Overs, RR: 5.76)Did not bat: LK BellFall of wickets: 1-73 (Tammy Beaumont, 15.6 ov), 2-98 (Amy Jones, 21.1 ov), 3-211 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 38.5 ov), 4-249 (Heather Knight, 44.3 ov), 5-254 (Sophia Dunkley, 45.5 ov), 6-257 (Alice Capsey, 46.3 ov), 7-276 (Emma Lamb, 48.5 ov), 8-280 (Sophie Ecclestone, 49.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.6 nicks and gone! Not as much room this time, Rawal wafts at that and ends up nicking behind off the toe end. She may have been better off attempting to play a full-blooded cut. She simply hung her bat out trying to maybe steer it behind - no conviction in the stroke. 13/141.2 hoisted down the ground, and Capsey pockets the chance! A rush of blood from Smriti! She sized up the returning Smith, decided she needed to be taken down, but her front-footed launch lacked the requisite power. A calm take, five metres in from the rope, and suddenly there's a twist! 234/49.6 struck on the back leg, and gone! Harleen doesn't bother reviewing this. The ball drifts in from outside off and skids through. Harleen plays for the turn and is beaten on the outside edge, right in front of the stumps. Harleen was walking off when Smriti called for a review only to be told she was too late. It's a good thing they didn't burn a review there because ball tracking confirms this would've smashed middle and off. 42/230.2 poked in the air to short third! England have the breakthrough ... well, they are convinced it's carried but Harmanpreet is waiting for confirmation. Yep, no doubt about that, a low grab from Lamb, watching the looping deflection into her palms. There was a touch of width from NSB once more, Harmanpreet attempted a repeat shot, but this one had more pace and took more of an edge as she pushed with harder hands. Big, big moment! 167/346.5 winds into the slog-sweep, and holes out! Wow, what a moment! Ecclestone had just two more balls to bowl, but Deepti trusted her instincts, hitting with the spin once more, but Dunkley in the deep holds her nerve, and her catch, to propel England right into the box-seat! Did she need to take that risk just yet? The rate was climbing, and she'd been winning her match-up battle... gosh! 262/645.4 drilled straight at cover! Hark at the thundering hooves of the Drama Llama! Heather Knight, safe hands, close in to the bat, gives her skipper a crucial breakthrough!
