It looks a beautiful pitch to bat on. Since losing those two wickets, they have batted beautifully. The intent is there.
I think England are in a very good position. After losing those two wickets it seemed like there might be a wobble.
Emma Lamb and Nat Sciver-Brunt have batted beautifully. They have played the spinners really well.

In her T20I debut series, Shree Charani blew away the England batters, taking 10 wickets at 14.80. Through the series, she found comfortably more spin than any other bowler (2.4° v next highest, Radha Yadav 1.8°).
Five singles from Shree Charani's second over, and the players go into drinks.

This week, Crossy discusses the increasing media scrutiny in the women’s game and the team also react to THAT West Indies innings which saw them bowled out for 27 against Australia. Plus, have you put crisps on a sandwich?
A couple more singles from the remainder of the over, as England continue their rebuild.
Eng 70-2
Alex Hartley said she'd eat her microphone if this was out and the good news is the BBC won't have to be buying any new kit as this, as it looked, is way outside the line.
India lose a review, while England's batters also ran a leg-bye off that delivery to bring up the fifty partnership.

Bad review. Awful review. What a waste.
Nat Sciver-Brunt drops to attempt a paddle shot and is struck on the base of the pads.
She appears to be outside the line, but Deepti Sharma convinces her captain that this is worth a look.
To the third umpire we go.

I feel India have bowled too full, it has been easy for England to clip the ball down leg-side.
Emma Lamb has scored so many runs in domestic cricket by doing this. Back down the ground!
Spin at both ends now as left-armer Shree Charani comes on to bowl.
Emma Lamb greets her fourth ball with a nice lift over mid-on for four.

England are unbeaten at home in 13 ODIs. The last time they were beaten at home was against Australia, here, two years ago today.
Back go the fielders post-powerplay and it brings a first change in the India bowling as Deepti Sharma comes on with her off-breaks.
England's batters work her first over for five runs.

Again, slightly too full. Nat Sciver-Brunt loves to go back, but if you go slightly full she will punish you.
Sciver-Brunt is not going to miss out on a ball like that.
Nat Sciver-Brunt brings up England's fifty, driving past two diving cover fielders to the boundary.
Three more singles off Kranti Goud follow and that's the end of the powerplay.

A full toss from Amanjot Kaur and Emma Lamb meets it on the full. It was a bit of a misfield if we're being honest.
A full toss from Amanjot Kaur and Emma Lamb turns the ball confidently through mid-wicket for four.
The England number three has been in superb form this season, and made three consecutive 50+ scores in the T20 Blast in the run-up to this fixture.
Phil Long
BBC Test Match Special statistician
On those early wickets…
England's opening partnership between Amy Jones and Tammy Beaumont past three scores.
222, 202 and today they were 20-2.
A boundary apiece for Emma Lamb and Nat Sciver-Brunt off Kranti Goud.
The England captain tucks into a leg side delivery, before Lamb sends her shot through long-on.

That stayed slightly low, but Nat Sciver-Brunt loves to play off the back foot. It just misses the off stump as it nips back a little bit. The previous ball it misses the stumps, but then Sciver-Brunt always capitalises on half a chance.
A first four for Nat Sciver-Brunt, timing Amajot Kaur nicely through long-off.
She came close to edging behind from the previous delivery, as Amanjot's delivery kept low and beat the England captain's bat.
