    Issy Wong has generally been exceptional when mixing it up at the death in T20s, bowling a near 50-50 split between pace on and pace off in the last couple of years.

    Pace on - three wickets at 19.6, 7.12 economy

    Pace off - five wickets at 9.4, 6.00 economy

  2. Ind 153-6

    So another new pairing for India now, with Arundhati Reddy joining Deepti Sharma.

    Reddy survives a big lbw appeal first up - England don't appeal and ball tracking shows it pitched outside leg - and then brings up India's 150 with a single to mid-wicket.

    The back-of-the-hand slower ball and Issy Wong's smile tells the story. From 70mph to 52mph.

    WICKET

    Fulmali b Wong 7 (Ind 148-6)

    Done with the slower ball!

    It's a great few minutes for Issy Wong - she completely befuddles Bharti Fulmali who mistimes her shot and is bowled underneath her bat.

    India have lost four wickets for 15 runs - this is still a healthy total but England have opened the door a touch.

    That was the pressure from Corteen-Coleman. Four singles in the over and a dot ball. Ghosh thought she had to find the boundary.

    From there it was a brilliant catch from Issy Wong. Those over-the-shoulder catches are so hard.

    Issy Wong, that is spectacular!

    Some catch.

    She would have been as low as she could be after 27 runs came from her first over earlier.

    WICKET

    Ghosh c Wong b Corteen-Coleman 4 (Ind 148-5)

    TCCPA Media

    A brilliant catch by Issy Wong!

    Richa Ghosh sets herself early, and gets under the ball with the reverse to lift the ball towards the point boundary.

    Wong runs back and takes the catch at full stretch on the tumble - a fantastic bit of fielding.

    A first T20 international wicket for Tilly Corteen-Coleman to boot.

    England will be hoping Sophie Ecclestone can strike against Richa Ghosh, she's dismissed Ghosh six times in T20 cricket at an average of 13, while conceding at just 6.86 runs per over against India's designated finisher.

  9. Ind 144-4

    Sophie Ecclestone first five balls go for two singles, but Bharti Fulmali finishes the over with a shot down the ground for four.

    The England spinner has gone for 0-33 from three overs.

    Dean has done that to perfection. The ball was coming at some pace in her follow through.

    This is what England desperately needed.

  12. wicket

    WICKET

    Rodrigues c & b Dean 69 (Ind 137-4)

    And now Jemimah Rodrigues departs!

    Both set India batters head back to the dugout within the over as Charlie Dean takes an excellent return catch high to her left.

    Rodrigues had just hit Dean for four down the ground, that's swift revenge from the England captain.

    Bharti Fulmali and Richa Ghosh now have to go again for India.

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

    It was a good pick-up from Corteen-Coleman. Good take as well from Charlie Dean.

  14. wicket

    WICKET

    Bhatia run out 54 (Ind 133-3)

    BhatiaPA Media

    The wicket England desperately needed!

    Yastika Bhatia tries to take a single to short third and doesn't make her ground by a distance, she's run out by Tilly Corteen-Coleman's throw, collected by Charlie Dean.

    Prior to the wicket, Jemimah Rodrigues pulled her ninth four of the innings.

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

    It was a catchable height. This is what you train for. England are going to have to be sharper.

  16. dropped catch

    Bhatia dropped on 53

    Ind 128-2

    That probably should have been taken.

    Yastika Bhatia strikes aerially into the covers, Dani Gibson dives but can't hold onto the chance.

  17. Alison Mitchell
    Test Match Special commentator

    This is a sparkling innings from Rodrigues.

  18. Ind 127-2

    Nicely timed.

    England bring back Lauren Bell as they hunt for a breakthrough and Jemimah Rodrigues guides a shot between two fielders to find four at backward point.

    Harry in Kent: Should we have seen some improvement in England's fielding under Edwards by now? It's been not great still today and in the NZ series.

    Amy Jones was blindsided because the ball went between bat and leg stump. Those are the moments that can change games.
