  1. 50 runs

    50 for Amy Jones

    A single takes Amy Jones to fifty from 32 balls. She has played very well. Can she go on?

  2. Deepti Sharma will continue after drinks...

  3. Eng 85-2

    Need 104 more runs from 60 balls

    Drinks come onto the field as we reach halfway.

    I'd say India are probably slight favourites from here but WinViz has them up at 82%.

  4. Eng 83-2

    Heather Knight has 12 from 13 balls here. Keep an eye on that strike-rate.

  5. Eng 79-2

    Jones 46, Knight 9

    We saw Amy Jones succeed when pushed up to open in ODI cricket last summer. She scored hundreds against West Indies.

    Maybe this promotion to number three today will help her. It is working so far.

  6. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Amy Jones into the 40s - she's playing some hand here, the England wicketkeeper.

  7. Eng 75-2

    Amy Jones is playing really well here, you know. She must have read Graham's message from the middle.

    First she plays a reverse and then a conventional sweep. Fours are taken on both occasions.

  8. Eng 67-2

    Deepti Sharma comes on for the first time and right away she is threatening a Mankad. You've got to love her. We've seen her do it before, of course.

  9. Eng 66-2

    Need 123 more from 72 balls

    Sree Charani comes back well, conceding only singles after that boundary.

  10. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on Test Match Special

    I feel like the turning point could be the spinners. Amy Jones has settled against the seamers, now there's the change of pace, having to move around in the crease.

  11. Eng 64-2

    "Waheyyy" says the Chelmsford crowd as Shafali Verma makes a meal of a stop on the boundary. The misfield brings Amy Jones her fifth four.

  12. Spinner Sree Charani, who has dispensed with the curly mop since last year's World Cup, is on for the first time.

  13. Eng 58-2

    Need 131 more runs from 78 balls

    15 from that over - a better one for England. They're still behind the required scoring rate, however.

  14. Eng 58-3

    Too wide from Nandani Sharma. Heather Knight cuts in classical fashion for four more.

    Nandani Sharma got a hat-trick for Delhi Capitals in the WPL, that got her call-up for India A, now she's making her international debut.

  16. Eng 53-2

    Amy Jones gets a much-needed boundary by hitting debutant Nandani Sharma over mid-off.

    The next shot is almost a sweep off the seamer and it reaches the boundary too.

  17. WinViz has had India as favourites for all but two overs of today's game.

  18. Eng 43-2

    Target 189

    Only four come from the sixth over - usually one of the most expensive of the innings. There's another direct hit by a fielder at the end of it too. India are on it.

  19. Not out

    Knight is fine. No laziness there.

  20. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on Test Match Special

    I don't think this out. Heather Knight turns and dabs her bat back.
