Watch: Rishabh Pant taken off on mobile ambulance at Old Trafford after bloody foot injury
Rishabh Pant winces in pain during Day 1 of the 4th Test India's injury concerns mounted on Day 1 of the 4th Test at Old Trafford, as wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant was forced to retire hurt after suffering a painful blow to his foot. Coming in after the dismissal of captain Shubman Gill, Pant looked in fluent touch, scoring 37 off 48 balls before the unfortunate incident occurred. Facing Chris Woakes, Pant attempted a reverse sweep but missed the delivery completely and was struck straight on the right boot. England appealed for LBW, but the on-field call was not out. On review, UltraEdge showed a faint edge, saving Pant. However, the real concern was the damage done by the impact. There was a visible swelling, some bleeding, and immense discomfort as the player was forced off the pitch. Major Update on Rishabh Pant's Injury | All Set for 4th Test? | India vs England Pant received immediate medical attention as umpires called for drinks. Unable to stand or continue, he was helped off the field by the physio. Moments later, a small ambulance cart was brought in to take him away, with the 27-year-old visibly in agony. Having already battled a finger injury earlier in the series, this latest setback casts doubt over Pant's availability for the remainder of the match. Ravindra Jadeja came in as the next batter, joining Sai Sudharsan at the crease. For real-time updates, scores, and highlights, follow our live coverage of the India vs England Test match here.

Jasprit Bumrah Goes Down With Injury, But Takes Wicket Next Ball
Last Updated: Jasprit Bumrah had an eventful few minutes at Lord's, taking two wickets, narrowly missing another, and suffering a calf injury scare. Jasprit Bumrah had a roller-coaster few minutes at Lord's on Sunday, which involved two wickets, an almost-wicket where the bails didn't fall despite the ball hitting the off-stump, and an injury scare in between. India's ace, who took a fifer in the first innings of this third Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar, got his first of the second innings on the opening ball of the 56th over. It was a brilliant yorker, and Brydon Carse had no answer. Four balls later, he tried to catch Jofra Archer off guard in the same way. The ball was just outside off, and there was a sound as it reached wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel. India reviewed and UltraEdge reported a flat line when the ball passed the bat, but replays showed that the ball might have hit the off-stump instead — so gently that the bails didn't fall off, despite these being the light wooden poles. Then in the next over, Bumrah bowled two balls to Chris Woakes and seemed to have pulled something up in his calf after the second. He went down in pain and the physio ran in to apply spray and a bandage. Bumrah was seen hobbling after that too — a bad sign for India, considering all the worry about his workloads. However, the pacer continued in the over and in the very next ball — a short-of-good-length nip-backer, Woakes was caught, indecisive in trying to defend it, and ended up edging it to his stumps. It was his second wicket of the innings, seventh of the match, and 49th in Tests in England. India will want to be careful with Bumrah's fitness India came into this series having already decided that Bumrah would only play three Tests. This is his second, and he has bowled a ton of overs, being India's leader of the attack. They'll want to avoid a repeat of the tour of Australia where he broke down in the middle of the Sydney Test owing to a huge workload. There's a nine-day-long break between the third and fourth Tests and India will be able to decide if they have to play him at Old Trafford or not. First Published: July 13, 2025, 21:20 IST

DRS drama at Lord's! 'Aawaaz aaya hai, aawaaz aaya hai' – How Jasprit Bumrah's sharp ears put him on a hattrick
Jasprit Bumrah (AFP Photo) NEW DELHI: India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah had his own script ready for Day 2 of the third Test at Lord's. With the sun shining bright and the iconic ground buzzing, Bumrah unleashed a fiery spell that rattled England's batting lineup. He wasted no time in making an impact — in just his second over of the morning, Bumrah sent England captain Ben Stokes packing with an absolute beauty that jagged back in to rattle the stumps. Stokes walked back for 44, visibly stunned by the delivery. But Bumrah wasn't done yet. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! In the same spell, he dealt a major blow by removing Joe Root for 104 — just after the former England captain reached his 37th Test hundred with a boundary on the first ball of the day. It was the 11th time in Test cricket that Bumrah had dismissed Root, equaling Pat Cummins for most dismissals of the Englishman in Tests. Poll How do you rate Bumrah's performance in this Test?

Bumrah and keeper Dhruv Jurel went up in a confident appeal for a caught behind against Chris Woakes, only for the umpire to turn it down.

England Women vs India Women, 4th T20I: Live Score and Updates from Manchester
01:41 IST:12.6: Sophie Ecclestone to Jemimah Rodrigues, Oh, that nearly scraped through! 01:41 IST:12.5: Sophie Ecclestone to Harmanpreet Kaur, In and around off, tenatively played out to covers for a single. 01:40 IST:12.4: Sophie Ecclestone to Harmanpreet Kaur, Another appeal for LBW from the keeper and even more vociferous but Sophie isn't interested and probably there was an inside edge as well. Nagging length on off, angling in, Kaur goes to sweep but misses and wears it on the pads. Replays do show that there was an under edge. 01:38 IST:12.3: Sophie Ecclestone to Harmanpreet Kaur, The Indian batters seem to be trying too hard now and are missing the deliveries. Bowled flatter and outside off, Kaur looks to smash it through the cover region but misses. 01:38 IST:12.2: Sophie Ecclestone to Harmanpreet Kaur, Half an appeal for LBW, mostly from the keeper and the umpire turns it down. Tammy Beaumont has a quick chat with the bowler and the keeper and takes the review. This is a flighted delivery from Sophie Ecclestone, bowled full and drifted into the pads. Harmanpreet Kaur tries to clear the leg and heave it away, but yorks herself and gets hit on the back leg. The third umpire finds nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking shows that the impact was outside the line of leg stump. NOT OUT! 01:36 IST:12.1: Sophie Ecclestone to Jemimah Rodrigues, Short on off, Jemimah Rodrigues gos deep in her crease and pulls it flat towards deep mid-wicket for just a single. 01:37 IST:Probably the last throw of the dice from Beaumont as she turns to her best bowler. Here's Sophie Ecclestone (2-0-9-1) back on. She replaces Issy Wong. 01:36 IST:11.6: Charlie Dean to Jemimah Rodrigues, Fuller and around off, Jemimah backs away and lofts it flat and to the right of long off for only a single. It's been 5 overs now since the last boundary. 01:35 IST:11.5: Charlie Dean to Harmanpreet Kaur, A bit shorter now, Kaur stays back and pulls it through square leg for a single. 01:34 IST:11.4: Charlie Dean to Jemimah Rodrigues, Around the wicket to Rodrigues, bowling it shorter and angling it well across off. Rodrigues shuffles past the off stump and forces it down to long on for another run. 01:34 IST:11.3: Charlie Dean to Harmanpreet Kaur, Flighted up on the stumps, nudged away towards mid-wicket for a single. 01:34 IST:11.2: Charlie Dean to Harmanpreet Kaur, Oh, that was enticing! Really slow and looped up wide of the off stump, nearly hugging the tramline. Harmanpreet Kaur gets low and throws her hands at it, looking to go over covers but misses completely. 01:34 IST:11.1: Charlie Dean to Harmanpreet Kaur, Flatter one around off, skids through, Harmanpreet Kaur hangs back and backs away late to angle it fine but misses. 01:34 IST:11.1: Charlie Dean to Harmanpreet Kaur, Wide.A bit quicker and drifted down the leg side for a wide. 01:33 IST:Charlie Dean (2-0-14-1) returns to the attack. She replaces Lauren Filer. 01:32 IST:10.6: Issy Wong to Harmanpreet Kaur, Full and straight, eased down to long on for a fifth straight single in the over. 01:31 IST:10.5: Issy Wong to Jemimah Rodrigues, Slower again, on a length and keeping low, Jemimah Rodrigues goes down on one knee and waits before sweeping it to deep mid-wicket for another single. 01:31 IST:10.4: Issy Wong to Harmanpreet Kaur, Very slow and short around off, Kaur waits for it and tucks it around the corner on the leg side for another single. 01:30 IST:10.3: Issy Wong to Jemimah Rodrigues, Good effort in the field! Banged in well short and outside off, Rodrigues walks past the off stump and awkwardly dabs it down to the left of short third but Lauren Bell scampers across and makes a half stop. Just the single then. 01:29 IST:10.2: Issy Wong to Harmanpreet Kaur, Shorter in length, over middle, turned away through square leg by Harman for a single. 01:29 IST:10.1: Issy Wong to Harmanpreet Kaur, Oh, buzzers! Back of a length and around off, punched away from the crease and straight to cover by Harmanpreet Kaur. An unnecessary throw at the bowler's end from Alice Capsey and she gets the direct hit in but the ball rolls through wide mid on and the batters are able to get a couple of overthrows. 01:27 IST:DRINKS BREAK! A blistering Powerplay for India with the bat has pulled them well ahead in the game. 53 needed off the remaining 60 legal deliveries and with 8 wickets in hand, it should be straightforward for the visitors. However, we have seen England Women come crawling back into the game in the last 2-3 overs and a couple of wickets here would expose the Indian middle order. Let's see how it all pans out. 01:25 IST:9.6: Lauren Filer to Jemimah Rodrigues, And again! For the third time in a row, Jemimah Rodrigues leans back and attempts to play the cut shot to the off side, but gets no bat on it as it bounces over her angled bat. Halfway through the chase, India Women are 74/2. 01:25 IST:9.5: Lauren Filer to Jemimah Rodrigues, BEATEN, AGAIN! Good return from Filer this! Lands around off, and nips back into the batter. Jemimah Rodrigues covers the off stump and tries to play the square cut again, but misses, once again. 01:25 IST:9.4: Lauren Filer to Jemimah Rodrigues, Swing and a miss! Nagging length, outside off with some extra skid and bounce. Jemimah Rodrigues tries to cut it square on the off side, but the ball passes over her angled bat. 01:24 IST:9.3: Lauren Filer to Harmanpreet Kaur, Short of a length, outside off, Harmanpreet Kaur rises with the bounce and cuts it square to deep point for a single. 01:24 IST:9.3: Lauren Filer to Harmanpreet Kaur, WIDE! Digs this one into the pitch, and it goes well over the batter's head. Kaur ducks under it and the umpire signals it as Wide. 01:23 IST:9.2: Lauren Filer to Jemimah Rodrigues, Good length, on off and middle. Jemimah Rodrigues gets across and chips it over square leg for a single. 01:23 IST:9.1: Lauren Filer to Harmanpreet Kaur, Back of a length, on the pads, nudged with soft hands to the fine leg region for a single. 01:22 IST:8.6: Sophie Ecclestone to Harmanpreet Kaur, Short delivery, Harmanpreet Kaur tucks it through mid-wicket for a single. The skipper gets off the mark. 01:20 IST:The Indian skipper, Harmanpreet Kaur, is in next. 01:22 IST:8.5: Sophie Ecclestone to Smriti Mandhana, OUT! GONE! CAUGHT! Sophie Ecclestone provides a very crucial wicket for England as she dismisses Mandhana. And now, both Indian openers are back in the pavilion. Sophie gives the ball some air, and pitches this wide of off, on a fuller length, enticing Smriti to charge at it. Mandhana does exactly that and tries to smash it downtown, but only manages to slice it in the air off the leading edge. The ball flies towards short third. Lauren Filer gathers a safe catch over her head. Smriti Mandhana departs for 32 (31) and India are 69/2. 01:22 IST:8.4: Sophie Ecclestone to Smriti Mandhana, This goes straight with the arm! Around the stumps, full and sliding across off, Smriti Mandhana prepares to play the sweep shot, but misses to connect as it goes straight on. Oh, hang on! There's a stumping chance being checked and the side-on replay shows that Smriti's back leg never lifted off from the crease. Not Out loads on the big screen. 01:22 IST:8.3: Sophie Ecclestone to Jemimah Rodrigues, Tap and run! Pitched fuller, just around off. Jemimah Rodrigues leans on it and pushes it to the left of Tammy Beaumont at cover for a single. 01:22 IST:8.2: Sophie Ecclestone to Smriti Mandhana, This is really good running! Tossed up full and on the leg stump. Smriti Mandhana gently clips it back to short fine leg and steals a single. 01:22 IST:8.1: Sophie Ecclestone to Jemimah Rodrigues, Short and outside leg, Jemimah Rodrigues rocks back and pulls it to the left of short fine leg for a single. 01:16 IST:7.6: Alice Capsey to Smriti Mandhana, A yard behind fuller length, around off, Smriti Mandhana hangs back and punches it to the cover fielder. India Women need 61 more to win from 72 balls. 01:15 IST:7.5: Alice Capsey to Smriti Mandhana, Flighted delivery, outside off, Smriti Mandhana glides it past backward point and hurries back for the second run. Excellent running this! 01:14 IST:7.4: Alice Capsey to Jemimah Rodrigues, Sliding onto the pads, nudged to backward square leg for a single. 01:14 IST:7.3: Alice Capsey to Jemimah Rodrigues, Two is the call and they will get it! Shortish delivery, on off. Jemimah Rodrigues quickly hangs back in the crease and pulls it between deep mid-wicket and deep square leg. Sophia Dunkley from deep mid-wicket cuts it off to her right and the batters scamper through for the second. 01:13 IST:7.2: Alice Capsey to Smriti Mandhana, Floated fuller and just around off, Smriti Mandhana drives it inside out and wide of mid off for a single. 01:13 IST:7.1: Alice Capsey to Smriti Mandhana, FOUR! Well executed! Full and drifting around off, Smriti Mandhana picks the length in a trice and sweeps it over square leg for a boundary. 01:11 IST:Jemimah Rodrigues is in at number 3. She replaces Shafali Verma. 01:12 IST:6.6: Charlie Dean to Shafali Verma, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! CAUGHT! Finally, England get their first breakthrough! Charlie Dean smartly pulls her length by an inch and drops it fuller from around the stumps. Shafali Verma is a bit early into her sweep shot and goes aerially over square leg. It is not timed that well and travels straight into the safe hands of Alice Capsey, patrolling the boundary in the deep square leg region. Shafali Verma departs for a well-made 31 (19) and India are 56/1. 01:10 IST:6.5: Charlie Dean to Smriti Mandhana, Shorter delivery, outside off, punched to the cover region for a single. 01:09 IST:6.4: Charlie Dean to Shafali Verma, Oh, just didn't carry! Around the stumps, full and on the leg stump. Shafali Verma whips it over mid-wicket and the ball lands just short before deep mid-wicket collects it on the bounce. A single taken. 01:09 IST:6.3: Charlie Dean to Smriti Mandhana, Tap and run! Short of full, around off, Smriti Mandhana chop-cuts it to cover-point for a quick single. 01:08 IST:6.2: Charlie Dean to Smriti Mandhana, Good length, close to the off pole, punched back to the bowler. 01:08 IST:6.1: Charlie Dean to Smriti Mandhana, Length, around off, punched to the off side. 01:08 IST:5.6: Issy Wong to Smriti Mandhana, Good length, around off, Smriti pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a single. A good quiet over from Wong. Just three off it. India Women end their Powerplay at 53/0, versus England's 38/2. 01:06 IST:5.5: Issy Wong to Shafali Verma, Just a bit far. Fuller and around off, Shafali Verma backs away and mistimes it over and between cover and mid off. Sophie Ecclestone from mid off runs to her left and also sticks both her hands out to snaffle it, but it lands just wide of her. A single taken. 01:06 IST:5.4: Issy Wong to Smriti Mandhana, Good length, on the stumps, Smriti Mandhana flicks it wide of mid on for a quick single. 01:05 IST:5.3: Issy Wong to Smriti Mandhana, Three dots on the trot! This one just nips away from off with some extra bounce. Smriti Mandhana watches it closely and plays with soft hands to dab to the left of the bowler. 01:05 IST:5.2: Issy Wong to Smriti Mandhana, Outside off, on a length. Smriti Mandhana stays leg side and punches it to the cover fielder. 01:04 IST:A mandatory concussion check and that has surely rattled Smriti Mandhana! Replays show that the ball hit Mandhana flush on the front grill ut thankfully, she seems fine. The physio is out to have a look and asks her a few questions. Mandhana has a bit of a chuckle and the players also take a mini drinks break, rehydrating themselves. All looks good and we are ready to continue. 01:04 IST:5.1: Issy Wong to Smriti Mandhana, Woah! That just took off the pitch. Short of a good length, from around the stumps. It lands and kicks up a bit more off the deck. Smriti shapes to pull but gets a top edge and it smashes on the helmet grille. A mandatory concussion test to follow for Smriti. 01:02 IST:4.6: Sophie Ecclestone to Shafali Verma, Much better over for England Women but the damage seems to be already done. Full and at the batter, Verma comes forward and pushes it back to the bowler. Sophie Ecclestone shows a bit of aggression by throwing the ball back at the keeper as Verma scurries back into the crease. 01:01 IST:4.5: Sophie Ecclestone to Shafali Verma, Darted in on leg, comes in with the angle. Verma looks to back away but gets cramped and jams it back out. 01:00 IST:4.4: Sophie Ecclestone to Smriti Mandhana, A tad short and around leg, nudged down to short fine leg for a single. The 50 is up for India Women and also for this opening partnership. 01:00 IST:4.3: Sophie Ecclestone to Smriti Mandhana, Tosses this one up around off, Mandhana leans on and strokes it towards mid off. 01:00 IST:4.2: Sophie Ecclestone to Smriti Mandhana, FOUR! Just picking the gaps here, Mandhana! Into the pitch and on the stumps, Mandhana swivels onto the back foot and turns it away through the leg side, to the left of deep mid-wicket and finds the boundary. 01:00 IST:4.1: Sophie Ecclestone to Smriti Mandhana, On the shorter side around middle, tucked away towards mid-wicket. 00:59 IST:Sophie Ecclestone is brought into the attack now. She replaces Charlie Dean. 00:58 IST:3.6: Lauren Bell to Shafali Verma, FOUR! That's brilliant! Full and angled into the pads, Shafali Verma flicks it away off the legs and whips it wide of mid on, over the infield and into the fence. 14 off the over and 39 off the last 3 overs. 00:57 IST:3.5: Lauren Bell to Shafali Verma, Good length around the top of off, Verma backs away to play at it but is well beaten. Good bowling! 00:57 IST:3.4: Lauren Bell to Shafali Verma, FOUR! Quick hands from Shafali Verma. Full and trying to follow the batter down leg, but Verma adjusts and stays put before clobbering it back over the bowler's head for a boundary. 00:56 IST:3.4: Lauren Bell to Shafali Verma, NO BALL! Oh, deary me! That has gone all wrong for Lauren Bell. An attempted slower ball that slips out of the hands and ends up being a beamer. Shafali Verma ducks as the ball goes over her and the stumps. Free Hit coming up... 00:55 IST:3.3: Lauren Bell to Smriti Mandhana, Very full and outside off, Mandhana leans across and caresses it on the full, through cover-point for a single. 00:54 IST:3.2: Lauren Bell to Smriti Mandhana, Full and outside off again, driven away along the turf and straight to extra cover. 00:54 IST:3.1: Lauren Bell to Smriti Mandhana, FOUR! Oh, that's class! Full and wide, a low full toss, but Mandhana just takes a step to the off side, opens the bat face and glides it through backward point for a boundary. 00:53 IST:2.6: Charlie Dean to Shafali Verma, Fuller and angled across off, Verma backs away and gets under the ball before lofting it up and over the cover region for a couple of runs more. 00:52 IST:2.5: Charlie Dean to Shafali Verma, FOUR! It's carnage out there from the Indian openers! Fired in a bit on off and middle, Shafali Verma gets leg side of the ball and down on one knee before swatting it back over the bowler's head for another boundary. 00:51 IST:2.4: Charlie Dean to Smriti Mandhana, Flatter delivery on off, Mandhana pushes it out towards extra cover and the batters scamper through for the single. The bowler herself chases after the ball and hears a loud call from Amy Jones to throw it to the keeper. Dean does that and Jones whips off the bails but Verma is well in. The umpires go upstairs to have a look but the very first replay confirms that Verma is safe. 00:50 IST:2.3: Charlie Dean to Smriti Mandhana, A tad shorter and angled into the pads, Mandhana fails to get it away and gets hit on the pads. A stifled appeal from the bowler and nothing more. 00:50 IST:2.2: Charlie Dean to Smriti Mandhana, FOUR! Fine shot! Tossed up, full and on off, Smriti Mandhana clears the front leg and effortlessly swings it away wide of long on for a boundary. 00:49 IST:2.1: Charlie Dean to Smriti Mandhana, Quick and flat, around off, Mandhana punches it straight to covers. 00:49 IST:Spin has been introduced early. Charlie Dean is into the attack now. She replaces Lauren Bell. 00:49 IST:1.6: Lauren Filer to Shafali Verma, Even shorter and banged in outside off, Shafali Verma reaches out and carves the ball away over backward point. This one plugs in the outfield and the fielder is able to chase it down. Two taken. 00:48 IST:1.5: Lauren Filer to Shafali Verma, FOUR! Hammered! Aggressive but predictable from Filer, bowling it short and outside off. Shafali Verma stays put and slaps the ball flat and back over the bowler's head for a third boundary in the over. It seems like Verma's picked up some Wimbledon fever from London. 00:47 IST:1.4: Lauren Filer to Shafali Verma, A bumper now, wide of the off stump, comes slower off the deck. Verma backs away a bit too much and has to just leave it. 00:46 IST:1.3: Lauren Filer to Shafali Verma, FOUR! Thwarted away by Shafali Verma! Expects the short ball and gets it as well. This is bowled over off, Verma backs away and slaps it in between point and cover-point for another boundary. 00:45 IST:1.2: Lauren Filer to Shafali Verma, Good length on off, angling in, Verma backs away again to open up the off side but misses as the ball travels just over the stumps. 00:45 IST:1.1: Lauren Filer to Shafali Verma, FOUR! Just enough elevation on that one! Shafali Verma expects the short ball and hangs back but this is pitched up at the stumps. Verma stays leg side of the ball and manages to loft it over Issy Wong at mid on for a boundary. 00:45 IST:Lauren Filer to bowl from the other end. 00:44 IST:0.6: Lauren Bell to Shafali Verma, Hard length around off, Verma stays compact and drops the ball down in front of point for a quick single. 6 runs off the first over of the chase. 00:43 IST:0.5: Lauren Bell to Shafali Verma, Good length on off, shaping away, Shafali Verma steps out to hit over covers but ends up dragging it to mid on. 00:43 IST:0.4: Lauren Bell to Smriti Mandhana, A bit short and wide, Mandhana extends the arms and flays it away between short third and point and to deep backward point for a single. 00:42 IST:0.3: Lauren Bell to Smriti Mandhana, Back of a length and around off, Mandhana looks to punch it into the off side but gets it off the inside half of the blade to mid off. 00:42 IST:0.2: Lauren Bell to Smriti Mandhana, FOUR! Helped 'round the corner and India Women are away! Short of a good length, straying on the pads, Mandhana tickles it down to fine leg and the ball rolls away into the fence. 00:42 IST:0.1: Lauren Bell to Smriti Mandhana, A bit of swing straightaway for Bell! Pitches it on a good length on middle and gets it to shape back into the left-hander. Smriti Mandhana tucks it away to mid-wicket. 00:42 IST: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... 00:39 IST:... THE RUN CHASE ... 00:40 IST: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. 00:37 IST: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. 00:35 IST: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. 00:34 IST: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. 00:43 IST: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. 00:41 IST:19.6: 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! 00:30 IST:19.5: 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. 00:29 IST:19.4: 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. 00:28 IST:19.3: Deepti Sharma to Issy Wong, Shortish length on middle, pulled away down to wide long on for one more. 00:27 IST:19.2: 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. 00:27 IST:19.1: 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. 00:27 IST:Deepti Sharma (3-0-13-1) to bowl the final over then. 00:27 IST:18.6: 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. 00:25 IST:18.5: 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. 00:25 IST:18.4: Amanjot Kaur to Issy Wong, A low full toss, on the pads, flicked away through backward square leg for a single. 00:24 IST:18.3: 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. 00:24 IST:18.2: 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. 00:24 IST:18.1: 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. 00:23 IST:Amanjot Kaur (3-0-15-1) to bowl the 19th. 00:23 IST:17.6: Shree Charani to Issy Wong, Dragged length on middle and leg, Wong presses back and shovels it through mid-wicket for a single. 00:21 IST:17.5: Shree Charani to Issy Wong, Short and outside off, Wong cuts it straight to the point fielder. 00:21 IST:17.4: Shree Charani to Sophie Ecclestone, Nice and full around middle, swept away firmly on one knee and to deep backward square leg for one. 00:21 IST:17.3: Shree Charani to Sophie Ecclestone, Short again and outside off, Ecclestone crunches it off the back foot to the right of cover but it is well-stopped by the fielder there. 00:20 IST:17.2: Shree Charani to Issy Wong, On a shorter length and on off, Issy Wong plays it off the back foot and punches it back past the bowler for a single. 00:20 IST:17.1: Shree Charani to Sophie Ecclestone, Flighted ball around off, chipped away just in front of covers for a single. 00:20 IST:Issy Wong is in at 9. 00:19 IST:16.6: Radha Yadav to Charlie Dean, OUT! RUN OUT! That is excellent from Richa Ghosh! Bowled flatter and around off, Charlie Dean brings out the reverse sweep again and nails it but straight to Shree Charani at short third and Dean starts running. Sophie Ecclestone is looking at the fielder and sends Dean back but Charani fires in a throw at the keeper's end. The ball shoots after pitching but Ghosh collects it brilliantly and manages to whip off the bails. Dean isn't even in the picture, and the leg umpire gives it OUT. 00:20 IST:Is that run out? The leg umpire instantly gives the verdict that Dean is short of her crease while returning and dragging her bat inside the line at the batting end. And yes, Dean is out by a long way. 00:18 IST:16.5: Radha Yadav to Charlie Dean, A half-hearted appeal for LBW but the umpire turns it down. There might have been an inside edge on this one or maybe the impact could be outside off as well. India Women have taken the DRS. Radha bowls this very full and around off stump. Charlie Dean brings out the cheeky reverse sweep and the ball seems to have gone under the willow and off the pads to short third. UltraEdge shows a big spike but that is of the bat hitting the turf. However, there is another spike when the ball is next to the gloves. It stays NOT OUT. 00:15 IST:16.4: Radha Yadav to Sophie Ecclestone, Full and on middle, pushed down to long on for a single by Ecclestone. 00:15 IST:16.3: Radha Yadav to Charlie Dean, Fuller again, on middle and leg, Dena tucks it through the leg side for another single and the 100 is finally up for England Women. 00:15 IST:16.2: Radha Yadav to Sophie Ecclestone, Spears it in on middle, Sophie Ecclestone stays compact and jams it through mid on for a single. 00:14 IST:Sophie Ecclestone is in at 8. 00:15 IST:16.1: Radha Yadav to Paige Scholfield, OUT! CAUGHT! Arundhati Reddy seems to be carrying a magnet with her at long on, a third catch for her and a second wicket for Radha Yadav. Nicely tossed up, a bit full and outside off. Paige Scholfield sets up for the slog but loses her shape and the extra bounce off the deck means the ball catches the top edge. It is lofted over mid on and Reddy just comes in from the deep to take a safe catch. England Women are now 98/6! 00:13 IST:15.6: Deepti Sharma to Paige Scholfield, Tossed up on the stumps, a bit short, pulled away through mid-wicket for a single. 00:12 IST:15.5: Deepti Sharma to Paige Scholfield, Oh, how close was that to the off stump? Deepti gives it some more air ad floats it full and around off. Paige Scholfield sits down and has a wild hoick across the line, missing the ball completely. The delivery stays low and goes inches past the off stump. 00:11 IST:15.4: Deepti Sharma to Charlie Dean, On a length and around middle, drifting back into the batter, Dean hops back and pushes it through wide mid on for one. 00:11 IST:15.3: Deepti Sharma to Paige Scholfield, Slows it up a touch and drags the length back a few inches, outside off, swept away in front of square on the leg side for a run. 00:10 IST:15.2: Deepti Sharma to Paige Scholfield, Fired in, full and on off, Scholfield jams it back towards Deepti Sharma. 00:10 IST:15.1: Deepti Sharma to Charlie Dean, Into the pitch and turns it in towards leg, stays low as well. Charlie Dean makes room and pulls it to the right of deep square leg for one. 00:10 IST:14.6: Amanjot Kaur to Charlie Dean, Good length, on off, Charlie Dean rises on her toes and steers it to the right of long on for a single. 00:09 IST:Charlie Dean walks out to bat now. 00:09 IST:14.5: Amanjot Kaur to Amy Jones, OUT! BOWLED'EM! Another blossoming partnership has been broken as England lose half of their side below triple figures now. This is a length-delivery, pitched around off and cuts back into the batter very sharply. Amy Jones hangs deep inside the crease and backs away to create some room. But misses to lay her bat on the ball and hears the death rattle behind her as the ball stays a tad bit low on the bounce. The onfield umpires have requested Amy Jones to hang on for a bit as they want to check if the keeper's glove made contact with the stumps before the ball. The side-on replay shows that Richa Ghosh's gloves are well behind the stumps. Amy Jones walks back to the dressing room for 9 (10). 00:07 IST:14.4: Amanjot Kaur to Paige Scholfield, Short delivery, around off. Paige Scholfield pulls it along the ground to widish long on. Smriti Mandhana from deep mid-wicket cuts it off to her left and they cross. 00:07 IST:Another delay it seems as Amanjot Kaur is hit on the wrists. She does walk back to the bowling mark but then it starts to sting and the physio has to come out. Amanjot does seem to be in a lot of pain and the physio puts the ice pack on. She might have to be taken out of the attack for now because it is the right wrist that is hurt and that is her bowling hand. All smiles after a couple of minutes as Amanjot gives a thumbs-up to the umpire and is ready to continue her over. 00:06 IST:14.3: Amanjot Kaur to Paige Scholfield, Full and around off, smashed on the bounce, straight to the bowler. Amanjot Kaur bends low to stop the ball, but the ball hits her right wrist and gets deflected to the off side. Kaur looks in some pain and has called for the physio straightaway. Good bit of work though, as she saves a run for her side. 00:02 IST:14.2: Amanjot Kaur to Paige Scholfield, Flights it full and on the leg stump line. Paige Scholfield flicks it between long on and deep mid-wicket. Arundhati Reddy from long on runs across to her right and parries it to the converging Smriti Mandhana from deep mid-wicket. Two taken. 00:01 IST:14.1: Amanjot Kaur to Amy Jones, Short of a length, on off, Amy Jones drags it down to long on and crosses over for a single. 00:01 IST:13.6: Arundhati Reddy to Amy Jones, Pitched full and on middle. Amy Jones works this across to long on for a single. 8 off that over. 23:59 IST:13.5: Arundhati Reddy to Paige Scholfield, Full and straight on middle, flicked along the turf to deep mid-wicket for a single. 23:59 IST:13.4: Arundhati Reddy to Paige Scholfield, Shade full and on off, Paige Scholfield inside edges onto the front pad as she looks to drive it to the off side. 23:59 IST:13.4: Arundhati Reddy to Paige Scholfield, WIDE! Slides down leg, on a length. Paige misses playing at it. Wide called. 23:58 IST:13.3: Arundhati Reddy to Paige Scholfield, Length ball, just outside off, Paige Scholfield punches it wide of long off for a couple of runs. 23:58 IST:13.2: Arundhati Reddy to Paige Scholfield, Excellent bit of fielding by Radha in the deep. A slower ball, full toss on off. Paige Scholfield gets low and slogs it over and between long on and deep mid-wicket. Radha Yadav from deep mid-wicket moves to her left and flings herself to the left and flicks the ball on the bounce, before the ropes. Two taken. 23:57 IST:13.1: Arundhati Reddy to Amy Jones, Slower ball, on the leg stump. Worked across wide of long on for a single. 23:56 IST:12.6: Radha Yadav to Amy Jones, Tossed up, full and on the leg stump, Jones drills it down to long on for a single. 23:55 IST:12.5: Radha Yadav to Paige Scholfield, Sliding on the leg stump, Amy Jones sweeps it to deep square leg for a single. 23:57 IST:12.4: Radha Yadav to Amy Jones, Sliding on the leg stump, on a length, Jones hangs back and works it wide of long on for a single. 23:56 IST:12.3: Radha Yadav to Paige Scholfield, Length, outside off, Paige Scholfield rocks back and tries to pierce the cover-point gap, but Deepti from backward point dives and parries the ball to the cover fielder. A single taken. 23:54 IST:12.2: Radha Yadav to Amy Jones, Fuller on off, Amy Jones skips forward and works it to long off for a single. 23:54 IST:12.1: Radha Yadav to Paige Scholfield, Dropped full, on middle. Paige Scholfield sits low and chips it over mid on for a single. 23:53 IST:11.6: Shree Charani to Paige Scholfield, Not that short and not too full either. Paige Scholfield hangs back and pulls it away to deep mid-wicket for a single. Another successful over for the Indians. 5 runs and a wicket off it. Just 7 runs off the last two overs for the hosts. 23:53 IST:11.5: Shree Charani to Amy Jones, Flighted fuller and on middle, Amy Jones forces the drive down to long on for a single. 23:52 IST:11.4: Shree Charani to Paige Scholfield, Same line, same length, Paige flicks this to deep mid-wicket for a single. 23:52 IST:11.3: Shree Charani to Amy Jones, Drifting on the leg stump line, Amy Jones drives this full ball wide of mid-wicket for a single. 23:51 IST:11.2: Shree Charani to Paige Scholfield, Paige is off the mark. Slider into the middle stump line, on a length. Paige Scholfield tucks it across through mid-wicket for a single. 23:50 IST:Paige Scholfield is in next. 23:51 IST:11.1: Shree Charani to Alice Capsey, OUT! LBW! Shree Charani gets her second wicket and England are in deep trouble now. Drifts into the batter, full in length, right in front of the stumps. Alice Capsey gets a bit too across and tries to play the reverse sweep, but misses and the ball passes very close to the inside edge before smashing into her front pad. A confident appeal for LBW and up goes the finger of the umpire. Alice Capsey walks up to her partner and opts for a review after giving it some thought. A flat line on the UltraEdge is followed by three reds on the Ball Tracking. It is straight and plumb on middle and Capsey does not even wait for the verdict and is already in the dressing room. England are 70/4 as Capsey goes for 18 (21). 23:47 IST:10.6: Radha Yadav to Alice Capsey, Length-delivery, drifting on the leg stump. Alice Capsey knocks it past the diving Radha Yadav, to her right for a single at long on. A successful over for India and Radha. 23:47 IST:10.5: Radha Yadav to Alice Capsey, Very slow through the air, sliding on the pads. Alice Capsey punches it to the right of the bowler who herself stops it. 23:46 IST:10.4: Radha Yadav to Alice Capsey, Overpitched, on off, carved out, but straight to cover-point. 23:46 IST:What's happened here? Radha Yadav is in a bit of distress, holding the right side of her head. Replays suggest that Yadav collided with Capsey on the previous delivery and has taken a knock. The physio is out to have a look and hopefully, she is fine. Yadav is back on her feet and is good to go again. 23:45 IST:10.3: Radha Yadav to Amy Jones, Drifts on middle, full in length, worked down to long on for a single. Radha Yadav moves across to her right to stop the ball, but in this process, she collides with Alice Capsey at the non-striker's end and looks in some discomfort. 23:43 IST:Amy Jones walks out to bat at number 5. 23:43 IST:10.2: Radha Yadav to Tammy Beaumont, OUT! GONE! CAUGHT! A break in play which causes a concentration lapse in the batter! Radha Yadav fires it on middle and keeps the length fuller. Tammy Beaumont skips down the track to heave it over long on, but does not get her bat properly under the ball and mistimes it straight into the safe hands of Arundhati Reddy who takes a fine catch at long on. Tammy Beaumont departs for 20 (19) and England Women are 68/3. 23:41 IST:10.1: Radha Yadav to Tammy Beaumont, Shortish, outside off, cut off the back foot to backward point. 23:41 IST:DRINKS BREAK. It has been a decent bowling display from the Indians on a slowish deck. But after losing both their openers inside the Powerplay itself, England have gathered some momentum since the last few overs as Tammy Beaumont and Alice Capsey have worked hard to steady the ship. England Women, however, are still crawling a tinge above run-a-ball and will need a strong middle phase to post a challenging total. With a long tail to follow, this partnership is very crucial from England's point of view and one of these two will have to bat deep to keep England steady. 23:41 IST:9.6: Arundhati Reddy to Alice Capsey, FOUR BYES! Through everyone! Attempted yorker around off, turns out to be a waist-high full toss that dips late. Capsey swings across the line but misses and the ball goes through the legs of the keeper and rolls away into the fence behind. 23:38 IST:9.5: Arundhati Reddy to Tammy Beaumont, Full again, too straight on the pads, flicked away in front of square leg for a single. 23:38 IST:9.4: Arundhati Reddy to Tammy Beaumont, Full and outside off, gets the yorker spot on, Beaumont jams it back to the bowler. 23:37 IST:9.3: Arundhati Reddy to Tammy Beaumont, FOUR! The fielder simply didn't pick it up! Short ball on middle, stays low, Tammy Beaumont does well to angle the pull away behind square leg. Amanjot Kaur at deep square leg, initially moves to her left as her teammates keep shouting and eventually she does move to her right and even puts the dive in but the ball goes into the fence. 23:37 IST:9.2: Arundhati Reddy to Tammy Beaumont, Goes full and wide, almost lands it right in the blockhole. Beaumont jams it towards mid off and that was probably there to be put away. 23:36 IST:9.1: Arundhati Reddy to Alice Capsey, Fuller in length, angling in towards the legs, Capsey backs away and shovels it through the mid-wicket region for a single. 23:36 IST:Arundhati Reddy (1-0-2-0) returns for another spell. She replaces Sneh Rana. 23:35 IST:8.6: Amanjot Kaur to Tammy Beaumont, Nice and full, around off, driven straight to mid off. A tight over from Amanjot, just 4 off it. 23:34 IST:8.5: Amanjot Kaur to Alice Capsey, Length ball at the stumps, Capsey gets inside the line and clips it down to long on for a single. 23:34 IST:8.4: Amanjot Kaur to Tammy Beaumont, No timing on that one! Tammy Beaumont pre-meditates and backs away and Amanjot Kaur tries to follow her with a yorker. It ends up being a full toss and Beaumont ends up heaving it over mid-wicket and into the breeze. The ball doesn't carry to the fielder in the deep and it will only be a single. 23:33 IST:8.3: Amanjot Kaur to Alice Capsey, Just back of a length and around off, punched away off the back foot and through cover-point for another run. 23:33 IST:8.2: Amanjot Kaur to Tammy Beaumont, Into the pitch and on off, skids through again, Beaumont mistimes the pull and gets it through mid on for a run. 23:32 IST:8.1: Amanjot Kaur to Tammy Beaumont, Pitched up on a nagging length on off and middle, skids on, Beaumont is a bit late but manages to block it off. 23:32 IST:Amanjot Kaur (1-0-6-0) is back on. She replaces Radha Yadav. 23:31 IST:7.6: Sneh Rana to Tammy Beaumont, Around the wicket now and bowled full on leg, Beaumont comes forward and flicks it through mid-wicket for one. 12 off the over. 23:35 IST:7.5: Sneh Rana to Tammy Beaumont, FOUR! Almost an action replay of the previous ball! Shortish length, angled in at the stumps, Beaumont makes room and cuts it away between cover-point and covers for yet another boundary. The 50 is also up for England. 23:30 IST:7.4: Sneh Rana to Tammy Beaumont, FOUR! There's the boundary England Women were looking for. Too slow and short, Beaumont had enough time to rock back and smack it away through the gap at covers for a boundary. 23:29 IST:7.3: Sneh Rana to Alice Capsey, Dragged length outside off, Capsey rocks back and half-pulls it away over wide mid on and for just another single. 23:29 IST:7.2: Sneh Rana to Tammy Beaumont, Floated up on off, Beaumont uses her feet to advance and plays a whippy drive down to long on for another single. 23:29 IST:7.1: Sneh Rana to Alice Capsey, Starts with a flighted ball, outside off. Alice Capsey skips down the pitch and hammers it along the ground to long off for one. 23:28 IST:6.6: Radha Yadav to Alice Capsey, Around middle and leg, Capsey works it away through the mid-wicket region and picks up a single. 23:28 IST:6.5: Radha Yadav to Alice Capsey, Nagging length, in and around off, Capsey fails to get it away. 23:28 IST:6.4: Radha Yadav to Tammy Beaumont, Flat again and at the stumps, Beaumont swats it down to long on again and picks up another single. 23:28 IST:6.3: Radha Yadav to Alice Capsey, Flatter delivery at the stumps, jammed away off the back foot and down to long on for one more. 23:28 IST:6.2: Radha Yadav to Tammy Beaumont, Shortish length at the batter, Beaumont stays back and whips it across the line and in front of square leg for a run. 23:28 IST:6.1: Radha Yadav to Tammy Beaumont, Should have been put away! Full and floated down leg, Beaumont tickles it straight towards short fine leg. 23:26 IST:Radha Yadav is brought into the attack and will begin the post-Powerplay phase with the ball. She replaces Shree Charani. 23:25 IST:5.6: Deepti Sharma to Alice Capsey, FOUR! Top shot! Tossed-up delivery, full and outside off, Capsey gets across the off stump and down on one knee before heaving it away towards cow corner for a boundary. England Women are 38/2 after the Powerplay! 23:24 IST:5.5: Deepti Sharma to Alice Capsey, Beaten! On a shorter length and outside off, slower again, Alice Capsey looks to wait and cut but is early into the shot and misses. 23:24 IST:5.4: Deepti Sharma to Tammy Beaumont, Floated up around off, Beaumont brings out the reverse sweep and gets it fine of short third for a single. 23:23 IST:5.3: Deepti Sharma to Tammy Beaumont, Darted in full and at the stumps, Tammy Beaumont jams the ball back to the bowler. 23:23 IST:Skipper Tammy Beaumont is in at 4. 23:22 IST:5.2: Deepti Sharma to Sophia Dunkley, OUT! CAUGHT! Nicely pouched by Radha Yadav and England Women have lost both openers inside the Powerplay. Deepti Sharma is clever enough to toss the ball up but drag the length back, slow it up and push it wider of the off stump. Sophia Dunkley likes to use her feet and she advances but doesn't reach the pitch of the ball and ends up slicing it in front of point. Yadav moves to her right and scampers across to take it with both hands. Sophia Dunkley departs on 22 (19) and England Women are now 33/2. 23:21 IST:5.1: Deepti Sharma to Sophia Dunkley, Bowls it short on middle, angling in, Sophia Dunkley swings it away but finds Shafali Verma at square leg to perfection and Dunkley will feel she's missed out there. 23:21 IST:4.6: Shree Charani to Sophia Dunkley, Length, sliding on the pads, Sophia Dunkley nudges it wide of square leg for a single. 23:19 IST:4.5: Shree Charani to Sophia Dunkley, FOUR! Played according to the field! Drops it full and drifting around off. Sophia Dunkley bends low on her knee, sees mid on inside the circle and slogs over it for a boundary at widish long on. 23:19 IST:4.4: Shree Charani to Sophia Dunkley, Outside off, spinning away, on a length, Sophia chop-cuts it to backward point. 23:18 IST:4.3: Shree Charani to Alice Capsey, A bit of a yes and no, but no hard done. Tossed up outside off, Capsey dances down the pitch and pushes it to the right of cover. A slight mix-up as they go for a single, but they cross over eventually before the throw comes in. 23:18 IST:4.2: Shree Charani to Alice Capsey, TOP EDGE, FOUR! Touch full and around off, with a good loop on it. Alice Capsey sits down for the sweep shot, but only manages to get a top edge and the ball lobs over the keeper and races behind.

The dream run for Shree Charani in this series continues as she provides the first breakthrough for India. Loops the ball above the eye level of the batter, full and around off. Danni Wyatt-Hodge's eyes get light up as she gets low on her knee to slog it over the leg side, but loses her shape as she is a bit early into the shot. Goes through and slices it off the toe end of the bat. The ball goes only as far as the mid on region where Arundhati Reddy moves a few yards to her right, and takes a safe catch. Danni Wyatt-Hodge departs for 5 (7) and England are 21/1. 23:12 IST:2.5: Shree Charani to Sophia Dunkley, Fuller and on middle and leg.

Should have been stopped by Deepti! The first boundary of the match! Shortish delivery, outside off. Sophia Dunkley goes deep inside the crease and cuts it to the immediate left of Deepti who does not get her hands on the ball and races away behind to the deep point fence. 23:10 IST:A bowling change right away. Shree Charani comes into the attack, so it will be spin from both ends. 23:09 IST:1.6: Deepti Sharma to Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Short of full, outside off. Danni Wyatt-Hodge hangs back and smashes it straight back to Deepit. 23:08 IST:1.5: Deepti Sharma to Sophia Dunkley, A yard behind full, on the stumps, Sophia Dunkley charges ahead and drills to down to long on for a single. 23:08 IST:1.4: Deepti Sharma to Sophia Dunkley, Drags the length back, Sophia Dunkley taps it gently to the mid-wicket region. 23:08 IST:1.3: Deepti Sharma to Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Had to hurry there. Fractional fuller, and outside off, Danni plays it uppishly but wide of mid off. The fielder there moves to her right and intercepts. As the batters rush through for a single, the fielder, Sneh Rana, releases a quick throw towards the keeper, Richa Ghosh, who whips the bails off. The replays show that Dunkley just about dragged her bat into the crease before the bails were dislodged. 23:06 IST:1.2: Deepti Sharma to Sophia Dunkley, Turns into the batter from off, on a length.
