    Having played against Heather Knight in her early Plymstock CC days - “They’ve got a girl in their team” quickly changed to “Oh no, Heather’s playing!” - a super player and trailblazer from then onwards. Daughter and son both loving today’s Double Header at Old Trafford. Good luck tomorrow Heather!

    The players have taken an early tea so we'll have an extended evening session.

    England will face to play out four of them if they're to pull-off an extremely unlikely draw.

    Well done Sophie Ecclestone, I don't think there is any women's player who deserves it more.

    That is a lot of runs to get for England and that will be record breaking territory.

  5. 50 for Richa Ghosh - India declarepublished at 86.3 overs

    Ind 341-7

    There's the single Richa Ghosh needed for her half-century, and India do indeed declare.

    She pushes Sophie Ecclestone's third ball into the covers to bring up a run-a-ball 50 and Harmanpreet immediately waves her batters in.

    Ecclestone, who finishes with figures of 5-118, leads her side off the field - England will chase 457.

    This is exactly what i want to see just before the declaration, a little flurry from India.

  7. Ind 340-7published at 86 overs

    Lead by 455

    Lauren Filer sends down a bouncer, falling over in her follow-through as Richa Ghosh fails to connect.

    Ghosh then strikes out to the sweeper fielder at backward point, but the India batters don't run especially hard to can't come back for two.

    Sayali Satghare slashes her first ball over gully for four, just about reaches the mid-wicket boundary two balls later and then uppishly cuts for four more.

    The lead is now past 450 and Satghare is on 18 - maybe she'll make 50 before Ghosh does...

    The Izzy Wong drop is exactly why India are batting on. It’s not runs - they want England physically and mentally fatigued.

  9. Ind 327-7published at 85 overs

    Lead by 442

    Richa Ghosh faces one more dot and then sends a single through point.

    She moves to 48, and Sayali Satghare doesn't score off the remainder of the over.

    It went straight to Wong. That was a bad drop.

  11. dropped catch

    Ghosh dropped on 47published at 84.2 overs

    Ind 326-7

    Richa Ghosh, perhaps aware her team is waiting for her to get on with it, tonks Sophie Ecclestone's first ball down the ground for four.

    She hits the next ball aerially out to Issy Wong at long-on... who puts down a sitter.

    Ghosh doesn't take a single, we're pretty clearly in 50 and then declare territory.

    It feels like India are just wasting time in this game.

  13. Ind 322-7published at 84 overs

    Lead by 437

    Same as the last over, first-ball single from Richa Ghosh and five dots faced by Sayali Satghare.

    Lauren Filer is still bowling with the old ball.

    Harmanpreet Kaur, sat alone on the balcony, strolls to the dressing room doorway.

  14. Ind 321-7published at 83 overs

    Richa Ghosh takes a single off Sophie Ecclestone's over before Sayali Satghare faces the rest of the over without scoring.

    Harmanpreet Kaur is having a chat on the India balcony - still no movement.

    Ghosh has a run-a-ball 42, so maybe we're waiting for the half-century.

  15. Ind 320-7published at 82 overs

    Lead by 435

    Lauren Filer comes into the attack for the first time in the session, replacing Issy Wong who has toiled without much reward.

    She's still bowling with the old ball, and Sayali Satghare picks up her first four through backward point.

  16. Ind 315-7published at 81 overs

    No new ball for England - perhaps not a surprise with Lauren Bell sitting up on the balcony in training gear, having suffered issues with her abdominal muscles.

    Sophie Ecclestone sends down a maiden to Sayali Satghare.

    There aren't many players on the India boundary now.

    There is a lot going on here. I cannot tell what Issy Wong is trying to do. I can't understand the plan, as a bowler we shouldn't just run in relentlessly just because - there should be a plan.

  18. drinks break

    Ind 315-7published at 80 overs

    Lead by 430

    Richa Ghosh thwacks Issy Wong through the covers for four, past a diving fielder who probably should do better.

    The next ball is wide and full and Ghosh sends that for four through point too.

    That's the end of the over and the new ball is due... will we see a declaration?

    No, India are staying out and the players will take drinks.

    Really nice of India not to declare before Ecclestone's five. Hats off to decency.

  20. Ind 305-7published at 79 overs

    Lead by 420

    Sayali Satghare faces her first ball, and she turns Sophie Ecclestone fine for a single.

    Richa Ghosh turns down a second to retain the strike, but can only add one more single herself.
