  1. Not out - Eng 131-5

    Missing leg stump. By a whole stump or two. Another couple of minutes eaten up before lunch.

  2. India review

    Deepti Sharma returns to the attack and goes absolutely wild for an lbw against Nat Sciver-Brunt. The umpire says no. Harmanpreet Kaur is quickly convinced to go upstairs.

  3. Eng 131-5

    There's a brief delay as another helmet is brought on. Jemimah Rodrigues slots in at silly point, with Richa Ghosh mirroring her at short leg.

    Mady Villiers, on her Test debut, blocks two deliveries back to bowler Sneh Rana.

    Jones will be annoyed with that. It was a very simple catch. A lovely partnership but the pressure was on England. It was really well batted from Amy Jones.

  5. wicket

    WICKET

    Jones c Ghosh b Rana 52 (Eng 131-5)

    Richa Ghosh is rewarded for her bruising stint at short leg, gobbling up an inside edge from Amy Jones.

    Sneh Rana has broken England's fifth-wicket partnership. Jones departs for 52 (62).

  6. Eng 130-4

    Nat Sciver-Brunt's booming six is followed by a single as England move ever closer to avoiding the follow-on we briefly panicked about earlier.

    They trail India by 155 runs.

  7. 6 runs

    Eng 129-4

    Nat Sciver-Brunt gets down on one knee and clears the deep mid-wicket boundary. That came out of nowhere.

  8. Eng 123-4

    Into the final 15 minutes before lunch.

    India captain Harmanpreet Kaur is beaming as she jogs into position at the changeover. Maybe she's having a lovely day, maybe she's enjoying the 123-4 scoreline as much as I am.

    Jones has brought it up in quick time. There have been a few moments of madness but she has been very switched on.

  10. 50 runs

    50 for Amy Jones

    Eng 122-4

    Amy Jones squeezes the ball through third and jogs three to bring up her second Test half-century in 59 balls.

  11. Eng 118-4

    Ohhhh that was a dicey shot from Amy Jones, just about getting it up and over Harmanpreet Kaur at mid-on. She had a look of resignation as she watched its trajectory.

    She moves onto 49.

  12. Eng 116-4

    A single apiece for Nat Sciver-Brunt and Amy Jones off Sneh Rana's seventh over.

    This partnership between Jones and Sciver-Brunt has been brilliant and needed. I was feeling a bit meh after the wicket of Capsey.

  14. How's stat?!

    Although India have bowled a better length more consistently throughout this innings than England did yesterday; England batters have managed to capitalise better when deliveries have been overpitched.

    Facing over-pitched deliveries in this Test match:

    • India: 4 dismissals at an economy rate of 4.21
    • England: 0 dismissals at an economy rate of 5.16

  15. Eng 114-4

    Amy Jones goes for a big heave, gets under the ball, and is fortunate to see it plop down safely around deep mid-wicket.

    Her following stroke is far more elegant, driving past the bowler for four.

    She's up to 46 (50). Nat Sciver-Brunt has 27 (52).

    I don't mind the field but what Charani has done is bowl far too wide. She just needs to bowl a bit straighter.

    Really impressive rebuild. On all the negativity at the team. Most of them played in a World Cup final a week ago, give them a break. Lauren Bell isn’t a machine, she was clearly exhausted from that World Cup schedule. Blame poor scheduling/management if you must, don’t blame the players.

  18. Eng 106-4

    Sree Charani is preparing to bowl her sixth over when captain Harmanpreet Kaur has a change of heart.

    Sneh Rana switches to the Nursery End. England alternate between dots and singles.

  19. Eng 103-4

    Deepti Sharma rattles through a maiden.

    Richa Ghosh, under the helmet at short leg, wears another one on her legs as Nat Sciver-Brunt tries to go hard into the leg-side.

    I don't see any big spinning demons in this pitch here today.
