Consecutive fours for Sophia Dunkley!
She cracks Arundhati Reddy down the ground and then drops to a knee to powerfully sweep through fine leg.
She gets a fist bump from new partner Amy Jones.

Former England bowler on Test Match SpecialIt is well bowled by Kranti Gaud. Danni Wyatt-Hodge was looking for the shot opening the face of the bat. It's a shot she loves but just wasn't there.

Wyatt-Hodge b Gaud 5 (Eng 14-1)
Immediate revenge for the boundary!
Kranti Gaud cramps Danni Wyatt-Hodge for room and the ball breaks through the openers defences to break the stumps.
The India seamer affects a nonchalant look with a shrugging celebration.

Former England bowler on Test Match SpecialBread and butter for Danni Wyatt-Hodge. She doesn't hit the ball, she carves it.
Eng 14-1published at 1.5 overs
Biffed!
Sophia Dunkley may not have magnificent staying power, but she can haul a ball down the ground.
She gets four runs off Kranti Gaud's third ball, before opening partner Danni Wyatt-Hodge cuts confidently to pick up a boundary of her own.

Here's how England's openers stacked up against India, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand before this match.
Eng 3-0published at 1 over
Arundhati Reddy gets us going, and her first over goes for just three singles.
England's starting required run-rate is 9.05 runs an over, they need a strong powerplay if they don't want to leave their middle-order with too much to do.

CricViz analystEngland will need their highest successful chase at home if they are to win the series - their current record is the 168 they chased down against India off the last ball of the final T20I against India last summer.

No rest for the wicked, or indeed in the cricket.
Both teams are back out there, Taunton is bathed in a golden late-evening light.

Thank you Matthew.
Be sure to read all of the excellent features he's got lined up for this World Cup, he's been as busy as bee.
Albeit a bee dressed in muted pastel colours.

India are favourites but what a confidence booster it would be if England could pull this off.
Mike Peter will take you through the chase.

Former England bowler on Test Match SpecialThere's always a point in the game where you think India can motor and get 200. But my T20 brain has been mushed by the IPL, thinking 180 is not that many - it is.
India have got the upper hand going into the second innings.
Postpublished at 20:02 BST
It feels like India could have got more but this still requires England's second highest T20 chase and their highest on these shores. The pitch is good and the boundaries short so they have a chance but scoring quickly has not been their strength this summer.

Image source, PA MediaAfter all that good work from Sophie Ecclestone that is one for the bloopers tape. With Richa Ghosh just strolling waiting to be run out.
Interval - Ind 180-5published at 20 overs
Oh no no no!
A comedy miss from Sophie Ecclestone. Richa Ghosh is mid-pitch and Sophie Ecclestone could walk the ball in. She opts to throw from all of two yards and misses the stumps. To make matters worse they run an overthrow too.

Former England bowler on Test Match SpecialCharlie Dean setting the standards in the field, even with a few balls to go. I love that from her.
Ind 178-5published at 19.5 overs
Brilliant from Charlie Dean on the boundary. If England win by two runs...
Ind 176-5published at 19.4 overs
Full and quick from Ecclestone. Only a single.
Ind 175-5published at 19.3 overs
A fumble from Dani Gibson means Harmanpreet gets back for two.
