England v India: series-deciding third women’s cricket ODI - live

now 08.29 EDT 7th over: India 39-0 (Rawal 16, Mandhana 22) Bell continues but, with England having stemmed the scoring, she’s again too straight, allowing Rawal to turn her away to fine leg for four. A drive to backward point adds two more, then a half-batted drive runs away for four. Two balls to go and already 10 from the over; Bell responds with a pair of dots but India are cruising nicely here. England could really use a wicket. Share

5m ago 08.25 EDT 6th over: India 29-0 (Rawal 6, Mandhana 22) This is also better from Filer, who bowls four dots then Mandhana glances square of the wicket on the leg-side … and Lamb mistimes her dive, so they run two. The fielding has not been the best aspect of this series, but Filer responds with a decent nut. She’s into this now. Share

8m ago 08.21 EDT 5th over: India 27-0 (Rawal 6, Mandhana 20) Betterish from Bell, who still offers drive-balls, but with greater risk and the shots pick out fielders. Naturally, no sooner have I typed that than she sends down a leg-side wide, the only one from the over until its final delivery goes down the ground for one more. Share

12m ago 08.17 EDT 4th over: India 25-0 (Rawal 6, Mandhana 19) India will be very happy with their start and, as I type, Rawal drives nicely through cover for one, then Filer offers a straight one, back of a length on the hip, and Madhana yanks it around the corner for another four; she wants to be the difference here, and she’s seeing it big. Share

17m ago 08.13 EDT 3rd over: India 19-0 (Rawal 5, Mandhana 14) Again, Bell is too full, and Mandhana drives through point for four … then strokes a shorter one down into the pitch for four more through extra. Lovely shot. So Sciver-Brunt comes over to chat to her bowler, who goes around to the left-handed Manhana, over-pitches again, and a delectable cover-drive makes it three boundaries in three balls. That last one was reminiscent of Ian Bell, and there’s little higher praise than that. From there, though, Bell comes back well, sending down three dots, but her over still costs 12. Share

20m ago 08.09 EDT 2nd over: India 7-0 (Rawal 5, Mandhana 2) Filer starts nicely, hurling an inswinger into Rawal’s pad; there’s an appeal, but probably an exculpatory inside-edge, which is presumably why England don’t review. It turns out there was also too much movement – the ball wouldn’t have hit the stumps – then, after two singles, Dunkley allows Rawal’s drive through her legs at cost of two. Share

25m ago 08.05 EDT 1st over: India 3-0 (Rawal 2, Mandhana 1) Bell comes stotting in and does well to see her floaty full toss hit straight to backward point. We then lose pictures, missing two singles, then one more follows. Share Updated at 08.09 EDT

40m ago 07.50 EDT All being well, Ecclestone is also back. She was terrific at Lord’s, and has just explained to Charlie-Charles Dagnall how hurt she was by the criticism she received during the following the Ashes series. But she’s used to time since to regenerate, reminding herself how much playing for England means to her. She is, for mine, the most likely of the panoply of match-winners playing today. Share

49m ago 07.41 EDT I’m glad to see Filer back. England are a much better side when able to call upon her pace, and they’ll need her in India when the World Cup starts. Share

53m ago 07.37 EDT Sciver-Brunt would’ve bowled, so is happy. She liked how flexible her team were at Lord’s but makes two changes – in come Alice Davidson-Richards and Lauren Filer, with Maia Bouchier and Em Arlott dropping out. India make on change, Radha Yadav replacing Arundhati Reddy. Share Updated at 07.42 EDT

1h ago 07.34 EDT India win the toss and bat They’re playing four spinners who they want bowling later in the match, explains Harmanpreet. She’s happy with the cricket India have played this tour and hopes for another positive performance. Share
