It's looked so smooth and easy for Smriti Mandhana. With the field being more up than it is in white-ball cricket, she's enjoying having the freedom to hit it big when she's wanted to, but in a controlled manner. She's been picking the right ball and timing it up and over the top.

The over rate may be falling a bit behind today, but India have maintained a healthy run rate of 4.49 off the first 35 overs.
This has been a feature of India's Test match approach when batting first.
Over the last ten years, the average run rate by team in the first 35 overs of the first innings of a Test has been as follows:
Four for Smriti Mandhana, her first of the session after she hit nine this morning.

England haven't found a way to stop the scoring, there's only been one maiden.
The field was spread from quite early, it means that the batters can rotate the strike more easily.

Issy Wong's first spell was inconsistent.
Issy Wong comes into the attack in place of Lauren Bell.
The draws an inside edge from Harmanpreet Kaur, which thuds into the India skipper's pads, then sends a delivery past the outside of the bat with the following delivery.
Sophie Ecclestone starts with four dot balls before India's batters exchange a couple of singles to end the over.

This is the rebuild that India would've hoped for after the dismissal of Jemimah Rodrigues.

Two balls later and Smriti Mandhana clips square to take the partnership to 50 from 81 deliveries.
Harmanpreet Kaur pushes Sophie Ecclestone's delivery out into the covers for two, and takes a single to mid-wicket off the over's last ball to retain the strike.

Image source, Getty ImagesDelighted to see Mady Villiers back in an England shirt. Always seems to be contributing domestically, and one of the most spectacular fielders in the world. Perhaps someone with greater knowledge of the women's game can explain why she's been out of favour after first bursting onto the scene?
