END OF OVER:

Parth Paliwal: "Richa Ghosh is the perfect fit for No.3. Has the power to clear the infield which Harleen severely lacks. Got to give her a go"

Sourav Niyogi: "Ghosh is a bit of pocket sized dynamo. With proper steering, she will turn out to be a good finisher "

Mike: "Looks like India are 20 runs short. Hope they bowl well to make up."

Prem: "A brilliant effort by Indians but still looks like at least 10 - 15 runs below par. "

8.05pm This is a solid turnaround from India in the second half. They''ve managed to add 95 after having to be cautious early on. Two early wickets meant Mandhana and Kaur just needed to make sure they got deep enough in the innings. They did, and eventually at a good pace. Kaur went berserk against spin, and Mandhana joined the party after she was dismissed. A pristine 70 from the opener, who made sure the momentum from Kaur's 36 wasn't dented after she fell. We have a fantastic decider on our hands. Back soon for the chase!

Ecclestone to Sharma, 1 run, length outside off, has a slog at that and can't time it. Trickles out to deep midwicket
19.5
2
Ecclestone to Sharma, 2 runs, length outside off and quicker through. Deepti stands her ground and has a hack at that. Pings off the blade nicely and Sciver has to put in a big slide to her right at deep midwicket to stop the boundary

1
Ecclestone to Reddy, 1 run, at a length and at the stumps, hurriedly swishes into the leg side and is refused a second that was probably there

Dezz: "Contrary to opinion I think this is already a winning score from India W. England W have a habit of throwing away series leads when it comes to the crunch." --- Remember, India have never beaten England two games in a row in this format

Ecclestone to Ghosh, OUT, hits the top of leg. Arm ball again. At a length and sliding on as she backs away and exposes the stumps again. Looks to slap it on the rise but that's too quick for her. Nice little cameo from Ghosh

RM Ghosh b Ecclestone 20 (21m 13b 4x4 0x6) SR: 153.84

Ecclestone to Ghosh, FOUR, sliced past backward point! It's a quicker one and it goes against her. Ghosh backs into the leg side at this length ball and looks to thump it over the covers, gets it off the outside part and into the vacant third man area

Ecclestone to Ghosh, FOUR, swiped over short fine! Gets low and has a whip at this length ball from off stump, gets it clean

Sciver to Sharma, 2 runs, full at off stump, steps out and scythes that over extra cover, but can't get the timing to find the boundary

Sciver to Sharma, no run, lovely slower ball at middle stump, looks for the slog and is deceived. Rolls down the pitch off the cue end
18.4

Sciver to Sharma, 2 runs, awkward bounce on the throw at the striker's end and India survive another run out chance. Length ball was punched firmly to long-on's right but her throw was wide and bounced past Jones

Sciver to Sharma, no run, beaten on the slash. Length ball from around the wicket, just outside off. Backs away and looks to slash that square and can't connect. Amy Jones with some lightning hands to take the bails off
18.2

Sciver to Ghosh, 1 run, in the blockhole again, she can only jam this out in deep midwicket's direction. Quick on her feet, that fielder, keeps them to one

Davies to Ghosh, 2 runs, lovely work from Dunkley at sweeper. Length ball wide outside off, clears the front leg and has a might swish at this wide outside off. It's in the air and Dunkley charges in, but that's dipping. She times the dive perfectly and parries this in one-handed on the half-volley
17.4

Davies to Sharma, 1 run, legcutter, at a length outside off. Steps out and can only drive on the rise to sweeper cover

Davies to Ghosh, no run, slower ball at a length on middle stump, backs away and jabs this to point

Davies to Sharma, 1 leg bye, oh this looks very out. England have reviewed the lbw. Short of a length from around the wicket, sliding on at off stump and under the attempted pull. Catches her on the thigh. She's not the tallest. I reckon that's smashing off stump and is out...if it's not umpire's call on impact that is. And it is. Umpire thought that struck her outside off and there is enough of a margin

Ajeet: "With the English top order batters at the top of their game, India must get to at least 160 for a chance at defending."

Brunt to Ghosh, no run, big appeal for lbw and no review. Legcutter slides on, full at leg stump, and beaten on the flick. That might have hit her outside leg, no chance of lbw

Brunt to Ghosh, no run, inside edge past leg stump as she backs away and tries to chop a length ball past short third

Brunt to Ghosh, FOUR, dragged past mid-on! Short of a length and tight at the body, but she manages to get enough bat speed on the attempted pull
16.3

Brunt to Ghosh, FOUR, full at leg stump, clears the leg and pumps that past mid-on! "Oh my god!" screams Brunt. Ecclestone was in two minds going down to her left, not sure about putting in the dive, and it went past her forearm

Brunt to Mandhana, OUT, another sharp low catch from Sciver. At deep midwicket. Attempted slower ball at middle stump, picked up on the full and thumped across the line, but couldn't get elevation on it. It dipped quickly but Sciver had that covered. End of a pristine innings from Mandhana, really lit it up today

Brunt to Mandhana, FOUR, chipped over mid-off and it trickles into the boundary. Picked this up from wayyyyy down leg side! Walked down there to open up the off side and managed to loft this length ball on the rise after she was followed

Four overs to go - India will want 160 from here. They'll have to get past Brunt's last over in good shape first...
