    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    You feel for Linsey Smith - she is one of England's best fielders. She cannot believe it.

  2. Ind 270-6

    19 needed from 11 balls

    So close!

    Sneh Rana sweeps Lauren Bell hard out to mid-wicket, and Linsey Smith runs round and dives full-length to block the ball.

    Unfortunately for her, it bounces off her outstretched arm and heads for the ropes, where a second fielder can't cut it off.

  3. Ind 266-6

    23 needed from 12 balls

    Tidy, tidy stuff from Linsey Smith.

    Four singles off the spinner's penultimate over, pressure on India but a couple of boundaries would flip the game again.

  4. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    There is now immense pressure on the tournament hosts.

  5. Ind 262-6

    27 needed off 18 balls

    Sneh Rana can't get a run off Sophie Ecclestone's last delivery.

    That's her day done - she finishes with figures of 1-58.

  6. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    She didn't need to take the risk. It's silly. You're the set batter and you can't give your wicket away like that.

    Deepti had played Sophie Ecclestone so well and I don't think she was the bowler to take the risk against.

    I just think Deepti had to be there at the end and the risk came from the other end.

  7. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    The packed house has fallen silent.

    WICKET

    Deepti c Dunkley b Ecclestone 50 (Ind 262-6)

    Sophie Ecclestone claims her first wicket of the day - and it's Deepti Sharma!

    The India all-rounder attempts a slog sweep and sends the ball looping in the air.

    Sophia Dunkley runs in from deep mid-wicket and takes the catch comfortably.

    India have lost three wickets for 28 runs, off the back of a 67-run partnership between Deepti and Mandhana.

  9. Ind 261-5

    28 needed from 23 balls

    Four from the first delivery of Sophie Ecclestone's over!

    The ball sat up nicely for Amanjot Kaur and she lashes it through the covers.

  10. Ind 257-5

    32 needed from 24 balls

    Amanjot Kaur is next up for India, and she takes a single to mid-on off her second delivery to retain the strike.

  11. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Richa Ghosh was looking for the boundary. She punches her bat on the way off.

    Nat Sciver-Brunt has taken full pace off which I like and now Deepti Sharma has to get India over the line.

  12. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    It's taken! Well pouched by the former England skipper.

  13. wicket

    WICKET

    Ghosh c Knight b Sciver-Brunt 8 (Ind 256-5)

    But Richa Ghosh goes from the next delivery!

    That was remarkably similar to how Nat Sciver-Brunt got out in the first innings, but this time it's the England captain taking the wicket.

    Ghosh simply lifts the ball to Heather Knight at extra cover, who takes the catch above her head.

    Advantage England?

  14. 50 runs

    50 for Deepti Sharma

    Ind 256-4

    Half-century up for Deepti Sharma.

    A single off Nat Sciver-Brunt brings up the 50 from 56 balls.

  15. Ind 253-4

    36 needed from 30 balls

    India need seven runs an over from the start of Sophie Ecclestone's over, they manage six here.

    A Richa Ghosh two over the covers brings up India's 250.

  16. WinViz has it 65-35 in India's favour against EnglandGetty Images

    India are in control based on WinViz...

  17. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Nat Sciver-Brunt is taking pace off to make the batters create the power.

    If you are India you need to set up for the slower ball and be able to adjust if she goes pace on.

  18. Ind 247-4

    Need 42 from 36 balls

    Deepti Sharma gets the final ball away!

    Nat Sciver-Brunt's seventh over is a strong one initially, with just two singles from the first five balls as she deploys the slower delivery successfully.

    Deepti pushes the last ball through mid-wicket and even though she didn't strike it too hard, she finds the gap between two fielders perfectly.

  19. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Sophie Ecclestone is such a hard bowler to sweep but Deepti Sharma gets on top of the shot really well.

  20. Ind 241-4

    Need 48 from 42 balls

    Swept away for four!

    Deepti Sharma relieves some pressure, bisecting two fielders on the rope to find the boundary at square.

    Just a couple of singles off the rest of Sophie Ecclestone's over.
