    India bowling in the fourth innings:

    • Hitting stumps: 9 balls, 1 run, 3 dismissals
    • Missing stumps: 48 balls, 22 runs, 0 dismissals

  2. Eng 23-3

    Target 457

    New batter Alice Capsey defends a dot ball.

    Harmanpreet Kaur calls for pads and Richa Ghosh and Jemimah Rodrigues don protective get-up before clustering around her bat.

    Capsey plays two solid defensive strokes.

  3. Katherine Sciver-Brunt
    Ex-England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    That dismissal was brought about by the ball before. The sweep shot was on and when you play that shot you need to keep your eye on it and Sciver-Brunt didn't.

    Decisions are starting to not be made well.

    WICKET

    Sciver-Brunt b Rana 11 (Eng 23-3)

    Ah. Um. Oh.

    Nat Sciver-Brunt is out sweeping, bowled by Sneh Rana. The India spinner had a wicket overturned off her second ball but there's no doubt about this one!

    England are three down chasing 457.

  5. Not out - Sciver-Brunt on 11

    Eng 23-2

    Red, red... GREEN?!? Flying well over the stumps.

    From ball tracking, it looks a somewhat inexplicable trajectory but side on, Nat Sciver-Brunt was a long lunge down the track when she was struck on the pads.

  6. Katherine Sciver-Brunt
    Ex-England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    I didn't like the look of this initially. The right thing to do was to give it not out and let India review.

  7. England review

    Nat Sciver-Brunt has been given out lbw. Has Sneh Rana struck with her second delivery?

    The umpire thinks so. The England skipper waits a beat before asking for a second opinion.

  8. 'Some times fairy tails do not happen' - Beaumont out for a golden duck in last innings

    Two England batters bid farewell to the international stage today, with Tammy Beaumont the first to depart.

    The England opener was dismissed for a golden duck, an unfortunate end to an excellent career representing her country.

  9. Eng 23-2

    Target 457

    Four runs off Sayali Satghare's fifth over.

    They run two off the last ball, Heather Knight dabbing through the covers with Sneh Rana in hot pursuit, but Nat Sciver-Brunt turns down a third.

  10. Eng 19-2

    Target 457

    A more controlled boundary from Nat Sciver-Brunt, cutting Kranti Gaud through point for four, after Heather Knight adds a single to her tally.

    How do England replace Heather Knight. Great bat, real team player, dignified retirement. Class, pure class. All the best.

    John, Harpenden

  12. Eng 14-2

    Target 457

    Thanks Mike, but what have you done?! When I handed over to you at lunch with instructions to conjure up some wickets, I didn't mean like this.

    That said... within seconds of my return, Heather Knight narrowly avoids picking out a diving Smriti Mandhana at point. Phew.

    Nat Sciver-Brunt slices through third for four before defending the second half of Sayali Satghare's over.

  13. Eng 9-2

    Target 457

    Nat Sciver-Brunt advances down the track to Kranti Gaud's first delivery, inside-edging past her stumps and running two down to fine leg.

    No more runs from the rest of the over - here's Elizabeth Botcherby to take you through the next passage of play.

    Sophie Ecclestone’s incredible bowling and stamina, the single plus point in an otherwise sub-par performances. India will fancy having this done today. Like the track England look completely baked, literally and metaphorically.

    India cricket journalist on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    I would love to see England go on and put on a performance here with the bat.

  16. Eng 7-2

    Back-to-back maidens for Sayali Satghare as Heather Knight faces the over without getting one away.

  17. How's stat?!

    Ashwanth R Kavuluri
    CricViz analyst

    In the first three overs of this innings, India bowled only two deliveries that were projected to hit the stumps, and both resulted in wickets.

  18. Eng 7-2

    One single off Kranti Gaud's second over, with Heather Knight turning the ball towards mid-wicket.

    The Indian opening bowlers are in a different class to the England bowlers. Movement and accuracy.

  20. Eng 6-2

    Nat Sciver-Brunt joins Heather Knight in the middle - two stalwarts of the England side, batting together for the final time.

    She plays out the rest of Sayali Satghare's over without scoring - a wicket maiden for the India seamer.
