Adwaidh Rajan
Em Arlott survives a scare.
She heaves one to deep mid-wicket but Amanjot Kaur fails to grab the catch.
India's fielding has been decent, but they will not be watching that again.
Tash Farrant
England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Sophie Ecclestone comes in. It just feels like England's line-up is one batter short with Nat Sciver-Brunt unable to bowl and so they have to have that extra bowler in the lower order.
Sophie Ecclestone and Em Arlott are in the middle for England.
India could be looking wrap up this victory now!
Jones c & b Charani 32 (Eng 110-6)
Shree Charani gets another, and it's the big wicket of Amy Jones.
It's an easy return catch for the the spinner but she holds onto it after a slight fumble.
Jones has to go and with that you think also England's hopes of a victory.

Capsey looks down, almost aghast at what she's done.
Tash Farrant
England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Capsey just couldn't get going. A new-ish role for her, she normally in at number three in T20s, when she has to go over the in-field, but she's struggled facing the spinners.
Capsey c Reddy b Charani 5 (Eng 109-5)
Alice Capsey never got going in this innings and it's yet another soft dismissal.
She pokes one to Arundhati Reddy at point and Shree Charani has her first wicket of the game.

Poor bowling, two absolute gifts from Amy Jones, just put any bat on that and it's going for four.
Another full-toss! Another boundary for England.
Amy Jones is not going to miss that.
13 runs coming off that costly over from Deepti Sharma.
Ffion Wynne
BBC Sport cricket writer in Bristol on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Freebie from Deepti Sharma, a full loopy full toss and Amy Jones isn't going to miss out even with two fielders on the boundary.
Amy Jones is finding her rhythm now.
She drills Deepti Sharma's full-toss through mid-wicket past the fence.
Amy Jones has struggles to find boundaries today.
But the England wicket-keeper is trying to make amends here, and ends Arundhati Reddy's over with a lovely shot through long-on.
Alice Capsey joins Amy Jones in the middle.
The pressure is back on England now.

So many of England's hopes of chasing down this 182 rested with Tammy Beaumont.

Fantastic bit of work in the field. India's fielding has been an area of weakness in the past, but their ground fielding in this match has been really efficient.
Beaumont run out (Rana) 54 (Eng 87-4)
The replays confirm the dreaded news for England.
Brilliant work on the field from India and it's a crucial wicket for the tourists.
Eng 87-3
And Tammy Beaumont might be gone here!
She punches one to the point and is caught in two minds, going for a single.
Sneh Rana does well to pick it up and feed it to Radha Yadav and the umpire has gone upstairs with it.

Brilliant innings from Tammy Beaumont. Having found herself out of England's T20 side for the best of two years, this spot is probably Heather Knight's spot in the side, but she's played really smartly against the spinners, which is not something you can often say about England's players.
Eng 81-3
Tammy Beaumont takes a single to mid-wicket to bring up her half-century.
It's a brilliant innings that has kept England in the game.
Shree Charani back into the attack.
And Tammy Beaumont almost instantly puts the India bowler under pressure buy sending her to the boundary with a late cut.
