  1. 50 runs

    50 for Smriti Mandhana

    Ind 126-2

    Thanks Elizabeth - and here's Smriti Mandhana's half-century to get me going.

    She faces three dots from Charlie Dean, then pushes the next delivery into the covers off the back foot, the single bringing up her landmark off 60 balls.

  2. Ind 125-2

    Target 289

    Lauren Bell returns to the attack and concedes two singles. The boundaries have dried up for India but they're in a good place.

    India need 164 runs from 25 overs.

    Over to Mike Peter, who will see this one through to its conclusion.

  3. Ind 123-2

    Target 289

    That was an iffy over from Harmanpreet Kaur. She was a bit all over the place against Charlie Dean. But, she still manages to add three to her side's tally.

    Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana can't really believe that.

  5. Not out

    There's an edge! A tiny, tiny tickle. Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur exchange smiles.

  6. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Is that the breakthrough? Harmanpreet Kaur did not hesitate at all before reviewing.

    There is no way she was letting England have that.

  7. India review

    The finger goes up straight away! Charlie Dean was very interested and the umpire was very keen to give it.

    However, Harmranpreet Kaur was just as quick with her review.

  8. Ind 120-2

    Target 289

    England have stopped India's boundaries for the time being - they haven't scored one for 17 balls.

    But the hosts are still trucking along at between five and six runs an over.

    England were 120-2 after 25 overs, so this match is well and truly in the balance.

  9. Ind 114-2

    Target 289

    Five singles. India are ticking.

  10. Ind 109-2

    Target 289

    Smriti Mandhana is growing into her innings, rocking back and splitting two fielders in the offside for four.

    Sophie Ecclestone has 0-22 from her four overs.

  11. Ffion Wynne
    BBC Sport cricket writer on BBC Radio Sports Extra

    Nat Sciver-Brunt is trusting her star bowler to try and get the breakthrough but the ball is pinging off the bats nicely.

    Sophie Ecclestone has been ineffective.

    With the form of the England middle order, they should have gone with the extra bowler. Sarah Glenn or Lauren Filer, in my opinion.

    On such a good batting wicket, it only further highlights the failings of Dunkley, Lamb and Capsey.

  13. How's stat?!

    Ben Jones
    CricViz analyst

    Only four times in ODIs against England have India reached the 100 mark before the end of the 20th over - two of those have happened this year.

  14. Ind 104-2

    Target 289

    Is it really a Linsey Smith over if there isn't an lbw appeal? She, Amy Jones, and Nat Sciver-Brunt all wave their hands in the air, pleading for the wicket of Harmanpreet Kaur. The umpire turns and walks away.

    Five singles off the 20th over - the first of which brings up India's 100.

    India need 185 runs from 30 overs.

    The worm has India ahead of England after 19 oversBBC Sport/CricViz

    These two look very content at the moment. Sophie Ecclestone stands and watches, looking slightly at a loss.

  16. Ind 99-2

    Target 289

    Sophie Ecclestone stares down Smriti Mandhana in a bit of disbelief. The India batter has just cut her through point for four. Easily the best shot of her innings - and it wasn't a bad ball from Ecclestone.

  17. Ind 93-2

    Target 289

    Another boundary for Harmanpreet Kaur, driving effortlessly through the covers.

    India's third-wicket partnership is up to 51 (48).

  18. How's stat?!

    Ben Jones
    CricViz analyst

    Sophie Ecclestone and Charlie Dean are bringing the stumps into play - 15 of the past 25 balls England have bowled would have hit the stumps.

  19. Ind 86-2

    Target 289

    Harmanpreet Kaur is rattling along nicely. She hits Sophie Ecclestone over the covers for the fifth boundary of her innings.

    Two balls later, she nearly nearly chops on. She'll be a huge wicket for England.
