Harish: "India 89/2 somewhere 14th over, what more mithali Raj offer at that point of the game. India problem is 5 and below, mithali would not have added value there."

Kunal: "Excellent from England, and poor from India considering the start they got. But Indian spinners will enjoy this pitch very much."

Supriya : "At the midway stage, i think the gamble to drop Mithali has backfired... reminds me of India dropping Kumble in 2003 world cup final!!!"

Jay: "This is a perfect example of an atrocious display of mindless batting. This is exactly how a team shouldn't bat."

9.20pm All out for 112. India's batting from No. 5 down has been a problem area right through this tournament, and it failed once again. But these are extremely difficult conditions to bat in, slow and grippy, and it won't be easy for England. You suspect, though, that 112 is still around 10-15 runs short of a really challenging total. England's spinners have been very, very good.

For India, the big question is - will their decision to sacrifice Mithali Raj's solidity cost them, or will their choice of an extra spin-bowling allrounder help them defend this low total?

Ecclestone to Poonam Yadav, OUT, and is that another run-out? Poonam goes deep in her crease and dabs this back-of-a-length delivery to short third man. They hurry through for the quick single, even though it went straight to the fielder. Deepti is nowhere near making it home, but they check to see if Jones got the bails off cleanly. Looks like she fumbled the ball, but it went on to hit the stumps before her gloves swept across in their follow-through and disturbed the stumps themselves.

DB Sharma run out 7 (10b 0x4 0x6) SR: 70.00

Poonam Yadav is India's No. 11.

Ecclestone to Reddy, OUT, down the track, and India are nine down now. Saw her coming and bowled it flatter and quicker. Doesn't reach the pitch, and slogs across the line, looking to hit over the on side. Turns away and beats her comfortably to leave Jones the easiest of stumpings to complete

A Reddy st †Jones b Ecclestone 6 (5b 1x4 0x6) SR: 120.00

Round the wicket to Reddy.

Shrubsole to Reddy, no run, once again a push into the covers, towards the deadly Wyatt. Deepti sets off from the non-striker's end and has to turn around in a hurry and dive to make her crease. Wyatt's throw, however, misses on this occasion

Shrubsole to Sharma, 1 run, length ball on leg stump, steps away from the line to make swinging room and slog-sweeps on the bounce to the left of long-on

Shrubsole to Yadav, OUT, is this another run-out? I think it is! India are imploding here, and England are really turning it on. Back of a length and Radha dabs gently towards cover point and sets off. Wyatt has to sprint in and turn around slightly to throw to the bowler's end. She nails a direct hit and catches Radha some four inches short

RP Yadav run out 4 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 100.00

Knight is on a hat-trick, but she takes herself off and brings back Anya Shrubsole. Can India get to 120?

Knight to Patil, OUT, and she's out first ball! Doesn't give herself any time to have a look at the conditions and get her eye in. Steps out of her crease straightaway, and Knight, continuing from round the wicket, smartly holds her length back. Goes through with a half-hearted lofted hit, and long-on, sprinting to her left, takes a superb tumbling catch. Lauren Winfield the fielder

AA Patil c Winfield b Knight 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Here's Anuja Patil.

Knight to Hemalatha, OUT, flighted ball dangled across Hemalatha and wide of off stump. Reaches out to drive, and only manages to pop a simple catch to short extra. Lovely use of a slow pitch from Knight
