Target 319
A streaky boundary for Emma Lamb as she edges Sree Charani's first ball down to deep third for four.
It should've been saved by Radha Yadav, who makes up plenty of ground but fails to haul it inside the ropes. She berates herself too, furious with the mistake.
There's the difference…
Phil Long
BBC Test Match Special statistician
Nat Sciver-Brunt has just passed 4,000 ODI runs. She's the fastest England player to get there.
Target 319
Got there in the end!
Nat Sciver-Brunt drills one through the covers for four as Sneh Rana finally concedes a run after 2.4 overs.
But the skipper still looks relaxed, sharing a laugh with Emma Lamb as they bump gloves in the middle, despite being 22-2 in the powerplay.
Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special
At the moment India are in control of this game. England's run-rate is abysmal considering they're chasing over 300.
Target 319
Just the one from Goud's latest, as she has 2-12 from five overs now.
Emma Lamb has six from 23 balls and Sciver-Brunt has three from 22.
There was a period just after the powerplay where India's batters consolidated after losing two wickets, but they had the platform of 64 from the openers. They are all over England here.
Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special
India's finish to their batting innings would've given them lots of confidence and they've just carried through that momentum into their bowling.
Target 319
Two overs, two maidens for Sneh Rana.
England are going nowhere.
Emily Windsor
BBC Radio Solent commentator
That's probably the best bit of fielding we've seen all day.
Target 319
And India continue to set the standard in the field.
Nat Sciver-Brunt finally gets one out of the middle and drives crisply, but a diving Jemimah Rodrigues intercepts at cover and has to send the England skipper hurrying back into her crease.

'Sensational' Sharma catch dismisses Jones for four
Here's that sensational catch from Deepti Sharma to get rid of Amy Jones.
Unreal.
Eng 15-2
Oooh! Emma Lamb misses a cut and edges behind to Richa Ghosh, who is standing up to the spinner so it's a sharp chance, but one that should be taken.
Still, a maiden from Sneh Rana keeps plenty of pressure on England.
Dani Hazell
Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special
We can't knock India. They've been excellent this whole series.

'Beautiful' Goud delivery bowls Beaumont for two
India have been so impressive.
Yes, having 319 runs to work with will understandably give you a boost but knowing England would need a fast start, they have been absolutely on it and bar the no-ball first up, so impressively disciplined.
The body language, the noise, the skill – they really are looking formidable as this World Cup approaches.
Dani Hazell
Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special
In this you can't lose your intent, you've got to keep paying your way and throw some punches. They can't afford to just keep playing dot balls.
Target 319
Nice bit of intent from Emma Lamb, skipping down the pitch and lofting Deepti Sharma over mid-on for four.
Rufus Bullough
CricViz analyst
Despite falling cheaply here, Amy Jones is going through a real purple patch in this format.
Since the start of 2024, she has 788 runs from 17 innings, an average of 66 and a strike-rate of 99.
Of the 69 players globally in ODIs who have had 10+ innings since the start of 2024, none have a better average then Jones.
A wicket maiden.
319 seems… far away.
Probably not the best time to show you a compilation of England's fielding errors, is it…?

Misfields, mistakes and overthrows – England's day to forget in the field
Henry Moeran
Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Deepti Sharma was like Wonder Woman in a wide brimmed hat!
Dani Hazell
Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special
What a catch form Deepti Sharma. India have been sensational already. They say catches win matches and already we've seen India have been miles better in the field than England were.
