  1. Ind 180-3

    Target 289

    Three dot balls to start Nat Sciver-Brunt's over, three singles to end it.

    India need 109 from the last 17 overs - that's a required run-rate of 6.41.

  2. Ind 177-3

    Here's Alice Capsey and her off-breaks for the first time today.

    Smriti Mandhana guides her second delivery through third for her seventh four and another single takes her to 68 from 70 balls.

    The players will take drinks.

  3. How's stat?!

    The wicket ball for Harmanpreet Kaur was 64.6mph - the quickest ball Nat Sciver-Brunt has bowled to her all day, and her second-quickest overall.

    Can anyone explain to me what bowling plan England are following? They seem utterly clueless and lacking any kind of structure or leadership.

  5. Ind 170-3

    WinViz has it 54-46 in England's favour against IndiaBBC Sport/CricViz

    Deepti Sharma comes to the crease and immediately takes a single off her pads on the leg side.

    Meanwhile that wicket has made England favourites again.

    England are deliriously happen with that. It will be checked but they seem certain about it.

    WICKET

    Harmanpreet c Lamb b Sciver-Brunt 70 (Ind 168-3)

    But now Nat Sciver-Brunt claims the wicket of her opposite number!

    Harmanpreet had just guided Sciver-Brunt to the boundary on the off side, but the England skipper struck back with the next ball.

    The India captain guides the delivery to Emma Lamb at short third, who takes the catch just above the ground.

    A quick check from the third umpire, but there's nothing wrong with that.

  8. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5Live Sports Extra

    England have not put their best game together yet. They will no doubt be looking at Danni Wyatt-Hodge for the next game.

    They have not been tested to defend a total until this point.

  9. WinViz has it 54-46 in India's favour against EnglandBBC Sport/CricViz

    India are favourites...

  10. Ind 163-2

    Five singles from Charlie Dean's eighth over as we reach the 30 over mark.

    Double your score from here, they say - that would be enough for India.

  11. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5Live Sports Extra

    Harmanpreet Kaur is seeing this like a football now.

    Should England look to use Alice Capsey? Bring something they are not expecting - it could bring that bit of magic.

  12. Ind 158-2

    Skipper takes down skipper!

    Nat Sciver-Brunt returns to the attack and Harmanpreet greets her with back-to-back boundaries.

    One is all finesse, the other all power - she ramps over the keeper than muscles the ball through mid-wicket.

    The first shot takes India past 150, and this pair steadily take down various landmarks.

  13. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5Live Sports Extra

    Smriti Mandhana was served that shot on a plate. Charlie Dean bowling round the wicket has been hit for four at least three times. I don't understand it.

  14. Ind 149-2

    Target 289

    A pair of singles off the first two balls of Charlie Dean's over bring up the 100 partnership off 104 balls.

    Harmanpreet then takes two to mid-wicket and adds a single to long-on to take India past the half way point of their chase.

    Dean closes her over by sitting one up for Smriti Mandhana, who guides it through third for four.

  15. How's stat?!

    Ben Jones
    CricViz analyst

    64% of Mandhana's runs in this innings have come through the offside, the second highest figure she's recorded in an ODI half century.

  16. Ind 140-2

    No run off the last ball of the over, with Mandhana sending Bell out to point.

    This partnership is now worth 98.

  17. 50 runs

    50 for Harmanpreet Kaur

    Ind 140-2

    And there's the skipper's half-century!

    It's not a great over for Lauren Bell, starting with wides either side of the wicket.

    The England seamer then attempts a slower ball and sends down a slow full toss that Harmanpreet dispatches through the covers for four, moving to 49.

    A drop and run off the next ball brings up the 50 off 63 deliveries.

    Harmanpreet Kaur of IndiaGetty Images

    Harmanpreet Kaur has not been her usual positive aggressor but she is still motoring on. She is locked in, zoning in.

  19. WinViz has it 63-37 in England's favour against IndiaBBC Sport/CricViz

    WinViz still has England as favourite at this stage.

    Do you agree?

  20. Ind 131-2

    Too short to finish from Charlie Dean and Smriti Mandhana cuts her away for four at point, with the ball breaking past a fielder.

    The first boundary since the first delivery of the 21st over.
