India Women vs England Women 4th T20I Live Score Updates
India Women vs England Women 4th T20I Live Updates: Harmanpreet Kaur-led Indian cricket team will aim to seal the five-match T20I series when it takes on England Women in the fourth match at Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester. India started the series with a dominant 97-run victory at Nottingham before registering a 24-run win at Bristol. England Women then won the third game by 5 runs at London to keep the series alive. India will hope Smriti Mandhana, Shree Charani and Deepti Sharma to continue their impressive form in the series. The side will also hope Harmanpreet to take her innings deep. (Live Scorecard) India vs England, Women's 4th T20I Live - ! Welcome back with India's response with the bat. The umpires and the players are out in the middle. Tammy Beaumont leads her women out as the English players spread out to their respective fielding positions. Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma are the two Indian openers. The experienced Lauren Bell to get the chase underway with the ball. Smriti to face. Here we go... ! ... THE RUN CHASE ... ! Right then, in a do-or-die match for the hosts, they will have to bowl their skins out to stop India from claiming the series. Sure, it's an uphill task, but it is doable. We have seen the ball holding up on the pitch and that's where the likes of Sophie Ecclestone and Charlie Dean might come into play. However, with the consistent Indian top order, they will need to pick up early wickets and of course, a win will be guaranteed with all ten wickets taken. Back in a bit for the chase. Stay tuned. ! The Indians used spin to full effect, and the bowlers kept the stumps in play, not offering anything to free the arms. The pacers, too, employed those slower ones to make optimal use of the pitch, which kept the batters tied up. In that 7-15 overs phase, England only scored 56 runs while losing three wickets. Overall, the batters did get starts but couldn't hang in there till the end. Sophie Ecclestone and Issy Wong at last provided the finishing touches and helped England to get above a run-a-ball and something for the bowlers to fight for. ! England were not express by any means, and the batters struggled to find the right timing. However, they found a stable partnership between Alice Capsey and skipper Tammy Beaumont. The two worked hard to steer England out of trouble. The Indians, on the other hand, continued to be sharp in the field. Just when the partnership was blossoming into something meaningful, and as one brings two, England slipped further down from 68/2 to 70/4, losing Beaumont and Capsey in just a few deliveries. ! The start for the hosts was far from ideal as the opening woes for England resurfaced. The pitch was on the slower side and the ball was holding up a bit on the deck as well and Harmanpreet Kaur was quick to spot that and deployed the spin trio. Shree Charani provided the first breakthrough and continued her dream run in the series. England, in an attempt to make the most of the Powerplay, lost both their openers and crawled their way to 38/2. ! A late flourish for England in the last over, but still, in all fairness, way below par on the board. A job well done by the Indians with the ball as they used the conditions perfectly to keep the batters at bay. Just four overs went above the single digits for the hosts, and that pretty much sums up their day with the bat, in a must-win match. 19.6 6 Deepti Sharma to Issy Wong SIX! How is that for a finish? A long hop from Deepti, over leg stump, Issy Wong goes deep in the crease, makes room and muscles the pull in front of deep square leg for a six. 16 runs off the over and England Women finish with 126/7 on the board! 19.5 1 Deepti Sharma to Sophie Ecclestone Oh, that's a bit too cheeky! Bowled into the pitch and at the pads again, this time Ecclestone looks to reverse sweep and awkwardly plays it towards cover for a single. 19.4 6 Deepti Sharma to Sophie Ecclestone SIX! Oh, there you go! Sophie Ecclestone with a bit of fireworks on her home ground and in her 100th T20I game. Floated up around middle and leg, Ecclestone makes a bit of room and swings it away, with the wind and over deepmid-wicket for a biggie. 19.3 1 Deepti Sharma to Issy Wong Shortish length on middle, pulled away down to wide long on for one more. 19.2 1 Deepti Sharma to Sophie Ecclestone Full and on leg, Ecclestone picks it up nd sweeps it flat and on the bounce to Amanjot Kaur at deep backward square leg. Just another single. 19.1 1 Deepti Sharma to Issy Wong Slow and short, angled into leg, Wong backs away and taps it straight to cover but manages to scamper through for a single. ! Deepti Sharma (3-0-13-1) to bowl the final over then. 18.6 4 Amanjot Kaur to Sophie Ecclestone FOUR! A much-needed boundary, but still just 5 off the over. Fuller in length, angling into the pads, Ecclestone hangs back and clips it away over square leg and picks the huge gap between deep mid-wicket and deep backward square leg to perfection. 18.5 0 Amanjot Kaur to Sophie Ecclestone Oh, that will leave a mark! Shorter in length and over middle, Sophie Ecclestone looks to swivel and pull but misses and gets hit on the mid riff. 18.4 1 Amanjot Kaur to Issy Wong A low full toss, on the pads, flicked away through backward square leg for a single. 18.3 0 Amanjot Kaur to Issy Wong A hat-trick of dots! Fractionally short and wide, cut away in front of square and just short of covers where the fielder makes a half stop. Ecclestone again denies the single. 18.2 0 Amanjot Kaur to Issy Wong Bowled into the pitch and outside off, smacked away to extra cover and Wong again wants the single which isn't there. 18.1 0 Amanjot Kaur to Issy Wong Back of a length, darting into the batter, Wong can't quite get it away and nudges it towards leg gully and looks for the run but the keeper is onto the ball in a flash.

Ignored India Star Joins As Net Bowler Ahead Of 3rd England Test? Here's The Truth
Deepak Chahar was spotted training with the Indian cricket team ahead of the Test encounter against England at Lord's starting Thursday. With the series tied at 1-1 after two games, the third match at Lord's hold special importance when it comes to the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Ahead of the match, Chahar was spotted taking part in training with the team. However, he was not in training gear and the pacer is not part of the 18-member squad. While nothing was announced by the BCCI, it is likely that the fast bowler is helping his teammates prepare for the match. Earlier, Punjab Kings spinner Harpreet Brar also joined the side and he was seen bowling to the batters during net sessions. According to NDTV Consulting Editor Boria Majumdar, Chahar did not join the team in any capacity and he was there for just a day. India vice-captain Rishabh Pant on Wednesday slammed the quality of the Dukes ball being used in the ongoing Test series against England, saying he has never seen the red cherry go out of shape to this extent. Players approaching umpires to change balls has been a regular feature in the series with Dukes losing shape. The bowlers are not getting any help from the ball after it gets softer, confining the batter-bowler contest to the new ball. Ahead of the Lord's Test, starting Thursday, Pant said the ball has become a big problem and it is not good for the game. "The gauge (to measure the balls) should be the same (whether its Dukes or Kookaburra. But it would be better if it was smaller (laughs). The balls are giving so much trouble. Definitely, I feel it's a big problem. Because the ball is getting out of shape," said Pant. "What I've seen, the ball is getting de shaped too much. That has never happened like this to me. It's definitely irritating for the players because every ball plays differently because when it becomes softer, sometimes it's not doing too much. But as soon as it changes the ball, it's starting to do enough. "As a batsman, you've got a keep on adjusting to it. But at the same time, I feel it's not good for cricket anyway," said the explosive batter. India opted for two spinners and three pacers for the Edgbaston Test which they won by 336 runs. The Lord's pitch is expected to pose a tougher challenge for the batters. Pant did not confirm whether India would stick to the two spinner formula. "We will get to know by tomorrow whether it would be 3-1 or 3-2. When you see the wicket two days, sometimes it changes the colour, the moisture will become less also,' said the southpaw.
