England haven't found a way to stop the scoring, there's only been one maiden.
The field was spread from quite early, it means that the batters can rotate the strike more easily.

Issy Wong's first spell was inconsistent.
Issy Wong comes into the attack in place of Lauren Bell.
The draws an inside edge from Harmanpreet Kaur, which thuds into the India skipper's pads, then sends a delivery past the outside of the bat with the following delivery.
Sophie Ecclestone starts with four dot balls before India's batters exchange a couple of singles to end the over.
They've added 34 runs off nine overs in the afternoon session.

This is the rebuild that India would've hoped for after the dismissal of Jemimah Rodrigues.
Harmanpreet Kaur knocks Lauren Bell's first ball into the off side, bringing up India's 150.
Two balls later and Smriti Mandhana clips square to take the partnership to 50 from 81 deliveries.
Harmanpreet Kaur pushes Sophie Ecclestone's delivery out into the covers for two, and takes a single to mid-wicket off the over's last ball to retain the strike.

Perhaps someone with greater knowledge of the women's game can explain why she's been out of favour after first bursting onto the scene?

Harmanpreet Kaur shifts her weight to her back foot and slaps Lauren Bell's delivery past a diving point fielder for four.
Bell then finishes her over by firing a ball down the leg side, seeing it race away for four byes.
Smriti Mandhana comes down the track to Sophie Ecclestone's next delivery, chipping with the bottom of the bat into the off side.
The ball plugs just short of the rope and India's batters run two.

If she did look guilty, she's done a Jos Buttler.

Nothing there, it seems.
There was definitely a touch on the pads but seemingly not on the bat.

Smriti Mandhana's body language was a bit guilty.

Smriti Mandhana tries to follow Sophie Ecclestone's delivery down the leg side and Amy Jones gathers.
The England fielders discuss whether there was a bit of bat on that, and ultimately decide to take a look.

The Lord's wicket is behaving as expected with regards to bounce and carry, or lack of.
There is obviously no previous data for the women's red-ball game at this ground, but it has been a talking point in the men's game over the last two summers.
The average height for the ball passing the stumps off a seamer's good length today has been 63cm. This is the lowest of any women's Test match at any ground where ball-tracking data is available.
Lauren Bell's ball is a little too full and Harmanpreet Kaur unfurls a classic drive, sending the ball away to the cover boundary.
That's four, and the only scoring shot of the over.

25 overs in the first two hours, that's shocking. They're supposed to bowl 100 overs a day, so they should have bowled 34 overs by lunch.
Michael, Derbyshire
I don’t know who has the worst over rate, the men or the women.
Troedyrhiw, Merthyr
India scored 19 boundaries, all bar one fours, in the first session.
They haven't got one yet in this session, with a couple of singles coming off this Sophie Ecclestone over.
Smriti Mandhana pushes Lauren Bell's first ball towards point for a single, before Harmanpreet Kaur faces the remainder of the over without scoring.
India are easing their way back into the session.
Bell has figures of 1-36, so her economy rate is exactly six runs an over.

It is tough for players who are only used to playing a maximum of 50 overs to be out there all day.
