  1. Thank you Matthew.

    Be sure to read all of the excellent features he's got lined up for this World Cup, he's been as busy as bee.

    Albeit a bee dressed in muted pastel colours.

  2. India are favourites but what a confidence booster it would be if England could pull this off.

    Mike Peter will take you through the chase.

    There's always a point in the game where you think India can motor and get 200. But my T20 brain has been mushed by the IPL, thinking 180 is not that many - it is.

    India have got the upper hand going into the second innings.

  4. It feels like India could have got more but this still requires England's second highest T20 chase and their highest on these shores. The pitch is good and the boundaries short so they have a chance but scoring quickly has not been their strength this summer.

    After all that good work from Sophie Ecclestone that is one for the bloopers tape. With Richa Ghosh just strolling waiting to be run out.

  6. dropped catch

    Interval - Ind 180-5

    Oh no no no!

    A comedy miss from Sophie Ecclestone. Richa Ghosh is mid-pitch and Sophie Ecclestone could walk the ball in. She opts to throw from all of two yards and misses the stumps. To make matters worse they run an overthrow too.

    Nightmare for Ecclestone in final ball of India's innings

    Charlie Dean setting the standards in the field, even with a few balls to go. I love that from her.

  8. Ind 178-5

    Brilliant from Charlie Dean on the boundary. If England win by two runs...

  9. Ind 176-5

    Full and quick from Ecclestone. Only a single.

  10. Ind 175-5

    A fumble from Dani Gibson means Harmanpreet gets back for two.

    Charlie Dean and Sophie Ecclestone are having a real conversation here about whether they need to change the field. Instead they're going to change the angle of attack and Ecclestone is going to come round the wicket.

  12. 50 runs

    50 for Harmanpreet Kaur

    Harmanpreet Kaur picks the gap to squeeze four through the covers. It takes her to fifty from 38 balls and she waves her bat towards a section of India supporters in the crowd.

    Indian captain Harmanpreet reaches her 50

  13. Ind 169-5

    A single to start brings Harmanpreet Kaur back on strike.

  14. Sophie Ecclestone will bowl the last...

    This is Taunton, it's a small ground and generally a good batting wicket. Anything 180-odd is very chaseable.

  16. Ind 168-5

    A single to Ghosh means she keeps the strike.

    You feel like this a very big final over. England would probably take anything in the 170s.

    Not a bad thing for India with Richa Ghosh coming out into the middle. Deepti Sharma looking to go down the ground, one hand comes off the bat and she just flicks it to Charlie Dean.

  18. wicket

    WICKET

    Deepti c Dean b Bell 32 (Ind 167-5)

    Lauren Bell hits back with a canny slower ball but Deepti's mistimed drive, snaffled by Charlie Dean, is going to bring in the fearsome Richa Ghosh.

    Good shot from Deepti Sharma. Goes deep in her crease, pulls into the leg side, it goes bang between those fielders out in the deep.

  20. Ind 167-4

    Deepti Sharma picks the gap on the pull to take four more.
