Chances!
Jemimah Rodrigues drops a shot just short of Tilly Corteen-Coleman, before Amy Jones misses a stumping off Yastika Bhatia.
The India number three advanced down the pitch and missed, but Jones couldn't take the ball cleanly.

What a way to bring up a fifty from Jemimah Rodrigues!
Ind 118-2
Fifty up with a six!
Jemimah Rodrigues slams Tilly Corteen-Coleman over mid-off to bring up her half-century off 31 balls.

The amount of movement from the India batters is throwing Gibson off.
India straight back to it.
Jemimah Rodrigues cracks Dani Gibson for four through point, before a Yastika Bhatia single brings up the hundred partnership off 58 balls.
Rodrigues follows that with her seventh four, sending the ball just over mid-on.
As the players take drinks, a reminder.
First over: India 7-2
Next nine overs: India 94-0

Bhatia has found her timing and played intelligently. It is not easy to start a tour and come out and find her flow.
England have been mixed. The fielding in some of the ODIs was a little shaky and today there have been errors here and there.
I don't mind if there are mistakes now, as long as they are building over the next few games. This is a real test.

Ian: Looks like England are going to regret leaving Bouchier out if this goes on.
Matthew Lucas: Sorry but Issy Wong is not good enough to be in this England side - doesn't take wickets and goes for runs. Lauren Filer should replace her.
Ind 101-2
Lovely timing.
Yastika Bhatia steps down the pitch to Issy Wong and launches her for a one-bounce four through long-off.
She closes the over by whipping a two through mid-wicket, bringing up her half-century off 31 balls and taking India past 100.
A superb recovery effort from Bhatia on her return to the national side.

Woops, Lauren Bell.
Jemimah Rodrigues reverse sweeps Sophie Ecclestone and the ball breaks through the fielding attempt of the England seamer and goes for four.
After an exchange of singles, Rodrigues carves Ecclestone through extra over for another boundary.
Now, Issy Wong is coming back into the attack...
Well, I imagine Issy Wong would have likely had another in most circumstances, Solomon.

Solomon: Is anyone else confused as to why we’ve used so much spin in the powerplay? There seemed to be decent movement on offer with the new ball.
Good work from Charlie Dean.
England's stand-in captain concedes a couple of singles, with India batters reaching fielders in the deep, then sends down four dot balls to Yastika Bhatia.

It is a bad thing if they lose 3-0...

I don't think this is a wake-up call. It is exactly what England need.
If England lose today I don't think it is a bad thing going into the World Cup.
Dani Gibson takes the first over out of the powerplay, and dampens everything down a bit.
Jemimah Rodrigues starts with a pair of twos, the latter featuring a misfield from Sophia Dunkley, but the rest of the over features just a couple of singles.
And to think Lauren Bell got England off to the perfect start after Charlie Dean won the toss...
