  1. Ind 80-2

    Target 289

    Charlie Dean appeals for lbw against Harmanpreet Kaur. Nat Sciver-Brunt applauds her gusto but doesn't review it.

    Time for drinks.

  2. Ind 75-2

    Target 289

    Good call, Alex. Nat Sciver-Brunt does indeed turn to Sophie Ecclestone for the 15th over.

    She concedes a single off her first five balls but Harmanpreet Kaur finishes the over with a boundary, crunching through the covers.

    England's spinners have bowled much slower than India's so far today. 21% of India's deliveries have been above 85kph, but for England that figure has been just 10%. England's average speed has also been 7kph slower.

    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    It needs to be time for Sophie Ecclestone now. Smriti Mandhana will not play the left-hander well.

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

    A delicious shot from Smriti Mandhana. You cannot get more skilful than that.

  6. Ind 70-2

    Target 289

    Charlie Dean has conceded at least one boundary in each of her three overs so far.

    Smriti Mandhana's first four comes off a big edge. The second is masterfully timed through third.

  7. Ind 59-2

    Target 289

    Harmranpreet Kaur is making the most out of this rapid outfield. Another little dab into the legside is rewarded with four runs, although it was a gimme of a delivery from Nat Sciver-Brunt.

    A productive over for India, with seven runs from it.

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

    Is there the potential to get a slip in for Charlie Dean? Heather Knight got a huge edge in her innings and there was no slip in place. England should consider it.

  9. Ind 52-2

    Target 289

    A good over from Charlie Dean.

    Harmanpreet Kaur starts it with a streaky edged boundary but the spinner responds with five dots, including two tumbling stops off her own bowling.

  10. Ind 48-2

    Target 289

    You suspect Harmanpreet Kaur will not be happy to be in the middle in the 11th over. Still, she gets her innings up and running with a gentle tap through mid-wicket which races away for four.

    Six runs off the over.

    Harleen Deol raises an eyebrow but she is not convinced. No point referring that one, you have to go.

    WICKET

    Deol lbw b Dean 24 (Ind 42-2)

    Charlie Deans strikes with the final ball of the powerplay. That's far from ideal for India.

    Harleen Deol and Smriti Mandhana had a chat and the former started walking off before India threw out a review signal. The umpires reviewed the review and it was too late.

    Deol departs for 24. It was a good review to miss - it would have been three reds.

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

    As soon as you beat the inner ring here, the ball races to the boundary.

    It is loud out there now, there are so many India supporters it feels like they have an extra player. How will England cope with the pressure?

  14. Ind 42-1

    Target 289

    Harleen Deol welcomes Charlie Dean into the attack with a boundary. She dabs a wide delivery through third.

    Two balls later, she beats the diving Tammy Beaumont and pings it through the covers for four more. Nice timing.

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

    That was too straight from Nat Sciver-Brunt but well-timed by Harleen Deol. She is looking good at the moment.

  16. Ind 34-1

    Target 289

    Nat Sciver-Brunt brings herself into the attack and sees her second ball whistle away to the rope. Sophia Dunkley, chasing hard, put in a dive but was always going to lose that race.

    The over finishes with a single.

  17. Ind 29-1

    Target 289

    Linsey Smith has miserly figures of 0-8 from her opening four overs.

    Not that it means much at this stage but here's WinViz...

    WinViz has it 65-35 in England's favour against IndiaBBC Sport/CricViz

  18. Ind 27-1

    Target 289

    A loose over from Lauren Bell, with Harleen Deol picking up two boundaries.

    She helps a short delivery into the leg side before smashing the final ball of the over through the covers. A lovely stroke. It zoomed away to the rope.

  19. How's stat?!

    Smriti Mandhana is world class, but her record against pace this year has been immense even for her: in ODIs, an average of 93, at a strike-rate of 113. She’s always the key wicket.

  20. Ind 18-1

    Target 289

    Now it's a little lifeline for Smriti Mandhana, the ball dropping just short of Tammy Beaumont at square leg.

    A single off the over.
