  1. Eng 95-4published at 26 overs

    Boundaries in three consecutive overs for Amy Jones, pounding her latest effort along the ground through mid-wicket for four.

    The following delivery, bowler Sree Charani has her head in her hands as Jones nearly inside edges onto her stumps.

    Seven from it.

    Generally favouring the leg side, Nat Sciver-Brunt continues to look for runs this side of the wicket when the ball is turning away from her.

    When facing spinners naturally turning the ball away, Nat Sciver-Brunt scores 68% of her international runs on the leg side. The only international batter to have a higher percentage is New Zealand's Suzie Bates, who scored 72% of runs on the leg side when playing against the spin.

    There was an unfortunate smugness from some commentators about India’s first innings score not being challenging. In truth, England's bowling was ill-disciplined and without a clear plan. India’s shown us a serious professional approach.

  4. drinks break

    Eng 88-4published at 25 overs

    Jones 26 (26), Sciver-Brunt 21 (28)

    Amy Jones is picking off boundaries with relative ease, attacking Sneh Rana and going over mid-wicket for four. From 5 (10) four overs ago, she's up to a run-a-ball 26.

    A productive over before drinks adds nine to England's tally.

    I do like England's intent to score here.

  6. Eng 79-4published at 24 overs

    A third boundary for Amy Jones to move onto 18, pounding Sree Charani's penultimate delivery along the floor through the covers for four. Harleen Deol dived over it on the boundary.

    Nat Sciver-Brunt has 20. Together they've put on 32 for the fifth wicket.

    England are paying the price for winning the toss and batting first. Dry warm forecast, less pressure setting a total and not having to bat last on a pitch that on recent showing can deteriorate quite dramatically.

  8. Eng 74-4published at 23 overs

    Amy Jones plays a thick edge through third but the ball grinds to a halt a few feet inside the rope.

    She and Nat Sciver-Brunt run three and finish Sneh Rana's over with a two and a one. How pleasing.

    A productive over for England. A single, a boundary through mid-wicket for Amy Jones, and a quick two to finish Kranti Gaud's 10th.

    On the subject of selection, Daniel (@11:45), I do think some players have unlucky not to be rewarded for county/domestic form. I'd have loved to have seen Katie Levick in an England shirt, for example.

    I think the gentle breeze has picked up a little. It is making the ball drift.

  11. Eng 60-4published at 21 overs

    Sayali Satghare loses her line and length a little with her penultimate delivery and Amy Jones leans into it to guide the ball through the covers for four.

    Yastika Bhatia does some good work behind the stumps to ensure that's the only damage to the bowler's figures, producing a diving stop down the leg side off a shorter delivery.

  12. What do England need to avoid the follow-on?published at 11:47 BST

    A reminder that the follow-on mark is 150 in women's Test matches, rather than the 200 we see in men's games.

    That means England need to make at least 136 in this innings to avoid giving India, who made 285 in their first innings, the option of enforcing the follow-on.

    For those new to cricket, the follow-on means the bowling team can asking the batting team to bat again so effectively each team's second innings swap round.

    Playing one if the world's best Test teams is always a tough task. New players need time to make their mark, but England are paying the price of being slow to integrate new players. Most of the England line-up are familiar foes to India, who know exactly how to hurt them and exploit weaknesses.

  14. Eng 56-4published at 20 overs

    Nat Sciver-Brunt dismisses a short ball from Kranti Gaud, smacking her pull away to the rope for four.

    Five from it. Gaud has figures of 3-18 from nine.

    Excellent display of seam bowling from Kranti Gaud in this match.

    Tammy Beaumont and Maia Bouchier fell to two of Gaud's biggest in-seam deliveries, and then Alice Capsey played inside the line of one seaming the other way.

  16. Eng 51-4published at 19 overs

    Nat Sciver-Brunt plays down the ground. Bowler Sayali Satghare gets her right hand to it and deflects the ball onto the stumps. There's a slightly nerve wait to learn Amy Jones' fate but she was comfortably home, very alert to the danger.

    Sciver-Brunt plays a near-identical stroke a couple of balls later and watches the ball race away for four through mid-on.

    50 up for England.

  17. Eng 47-4published at 18 overs

    A wicket maiden for Kranti Gaud.

    Amy Jones, the new batter in, has a Test high score of 65 but comes into this match on a grim run of form.

    She's been out for single-figure scores in five of her past six innings, although that was at the T20 World Cup.

    England are in real trouble here. Gaud as got the ball on a piece of string, she is bowling so well. India are on a heater.

    Capsey b Gaud 9 (Eng 47-4)

    KRANTI GAUD! She beats Alice Capsey's outside edge with a fuller delivery, the batter pressing forward, and knocks her off stump out of the ground.

    Three wickets for the India pacer, who is all over England.

    The hosts are 47-4, trailing by 238 runs.

    Dropped catch - Capsey on ninepublished at 17.2 overs

    Phewwwww that was close for Alice Capsey!

    A thick edge ricochets off her midriff and pops up invitingly. Richa Ghosh, diving forward from short leg, almost has it but the ball rolls out of her grasp.

    Kranti Gaud is causing England problems.
