100 up for India! Jemimah Rodrigues hits a boundary as India breach the triple-digit mark. India will look to add 100 more to their total before declaring the innings and put England to chase down a mammoth total.
OUT! Sophie Ecclestone strikes again. this time she dismisses Yastika Bhatia. India are losing the momentum here with three quick wickets. Yastika was stunned by the extra turn and bounce and got caught at short leg. INDW 77/3 in 16.3 overs

Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Varma are marching along as India extend their lead beyond 300. The opening partnership is inching towards the 50-run mark and the visitors are looking to find an early breakthrough. INDW: 44/0, lead by 336 runs.
And it’s official, India won’t be enforcing the follow-on. Out walk the two openers Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Varma with India leading by 292 runs. Lauren Bell will open the attack. Here we go!
That’ll be the tea-break. We are yet to get a confirmation if India will enforce the follow-on. A stunning spell from spinner Deepti Sharma who took 5/7 in just 5.3 overs to hasten England’s collapse. Nat Sciver-Brunt was the only England batter to offer some kind of resistance as she made a solid 59 before being done in by a peach of a delivery from Sneh Rana.
OUT! Deepti Sharma gets her fifth wicket and that’s the end of England’s innings. A defensive shot from Lauren Filer and she’s beaten on the outside edge to be bowled on 5. England have been bowled out for 136 in 35.3 overs. England have failed to avoid the follow-on.
OUT! England are falling like nine pins. Stunning turnaround this for India. Kate Cross ends up hitting one back to the Deepti Sharma who takes a decent catch on follow through. Cross scored 1.
OUT! Sneh Sharma gets her second wicket as England’s batting collapse continues. Charlie Dean offers no shot to the one that turned in after pitching, hitting her on the pad. The on-field umpire gave it as out but Dean reviewed. Four reds on Hawk-eye. A nine-ball duck for the English batter.

OUT! Another one bites the dust. This one turned sharply as Sophie Ecclestone went for a defensive shot only for the ball to sneak past and crash onto the stumps. A two-ball duck for Ecclestone. England in tatters.
OUT! Deepti Sharma strikes to get rid of Amy Jones on 12. Unfortunate dismissal this one – she clipped one away only to hit the helmet of the short leg fielder as the ball ricochet off for a simple catch to the fielder at leg slip. England have lost half their side.
FIFTY! With a single, Nat Sciver-Brunt brings up her half-century off 63 deliveries. A fine innings this one but she needs someone to stick around from the other end.
OUT! England lose their fourth wicket in Danielle Wyatt. Deepti Sharma draws an inside edge from the bat of Wyatt and the ball deflects off her pads towards the fielder at short leg who makes no mistake. Wyatt scored 19.
Danielle Wyatt has been given out LBW by the on-field umpire after a loud, confident appeal led by Pooja Vastrakar. The England batter quickly makes the signal for DRS and there’s a spike on Ultra-edge when the ball went past the bat. The on-field decision has been overturned.
OUT! And the partnership has been broken thanks to a direct hit from Pooja Vastrakar. Nat Sciver-Brunt set off for a quick single after playing towards midwicket from where Vastrakar unleashed a direct hit to catch Tammy Beaumont short of the crease at the striker’s end. She scored 10.
So the players are back on the field after the lunch break. Nat Sciver-Brunt and Tammy Beaumont are the two unbeaten England batters. India will open the session with the left-arm spin of Rajeshwari Gayakwad. England trail by 361 runs.
