India Women vs England Women highlights, 3rd T20I: Alice Capsey, Heather Knight power Australia to 6-wicket win vs India

England struck early in the first half - Spin did the early damage as India lost both openers inside the first four overs, with Mandhana and Shafali failing to make any impression against the hosts. Yastika Bhatia walked in with positive intent and kept the board ticking, but a run out ended her stay and left India reeling at 60/3, suddenly staring at a serious rebuilding task. That came through a responsible partnership between Rodrigues and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, as the two added 40 runs together.

Decent finish for the tourists - So India manage to touch that 180-run figure with a good second half overall. There was a bit of a slowdown in the run rate once Rodrigues got out, but they prevented England from making inroads regularly. However, India's running between the wickets was a concern, though, with the batters looking hesitant to push for the quick singles or doubles. England, on the other hand, were equally sharp in the field.

Sophie Ecclestone to Richa Ghosh, A comical end to the Indian innings. India finish with 180/5. This is fired in full and at the sticks by Sophie. Ghosh digs it out back towards Ecclestone, but with it being the last ball, Kaur sets off for the run. Ghosh had already given up but Sophie fails to gather it cleanly and the ball rolls away to her left. She gets to the ball, turns around and releases an underarm throw at the bowling end with Richa still showing no urgency to complete the run. Ecclestone fails to hit the stumps and the ball dribbles towards long on, allowing the batters to sneak in the second run. Sophie cannot quite believe it and has a sheepish smile on her face. What should have been a dot ball ends up yielding a couple more for India. You never quite know how valuable these runs could prove by the end of the night.

Has Dean saved two runs for her team? Looks like it. She slid to her left and flicked the ball just in the nick of time, cleanly. There's no part of her body in contact with the boundary ropes while holding the ball in her hand. 

Sophie Ecclestone to Richa Ghosh, Excellent effort! Full and pushed across the right-hander, near the tramline. Ghosh extends her hands and smashes this through extra cover. Charlie Dean sprints a long way to her left from long off and puts in a slide. She reaches out and flicks the ball behind her back neatly to save a couple of runs for her side.

Sophie Ecclestone to Harmanpreet Kaur, Very full, on off, not allowing the batter to get under the ball. Harmanpreet hits it down to long off and crosses over.

Sophie Ecclestone to Harmanpreet Kaur, From over the wicket now, full and on leg. Kaur gets down on a knee and smears it to the right of deep mid-wicket. A fumble in the deep by Danielle Gibson allows the second run to be completed with ease.

Sophie Ecclestone to Harmanpreet Kaur, FOUR! And that will be FIFTY for Harmanpreet Kaur. From 38 balls. She took her time early on but has managed to pick up the pace nicely. Bowled full and outside off. Kaur hangs deep in the crease and stays leg side before smacking it to the right of point for a boundary.

Sophie Ecclestone to Richa Ghosh, Darted in by Sophie Ecclestone from around the wicket. Full and on middle and leg. Ghosh powers the drive to long on for a single.

Lauren Bell to Richa Ghosh, Dipping slower ball, low full toss, on leg. Ghosh works it off the pads towards deep square leg for a single.

The 67-run partnership is broken by Bell, and this is her 7th wicket this series. Richa Ghosh is in at number 7.

Lauren Bell to Deepti Sharma, OUT! CAUGHT! A soft dismissal. The slower ball eventually does the trick but the difference was the length. This is fuller, on off, Deepti looks to go down the ground but she is way too early into the lofted hit. One hand comes off the bat handle and the ball balloons off the toe end to mid off, where Charlie Dean gobbles it up. India Women are 5 down for 167.

Lauren Bell to Deepti Sharma, Bashes the surface, over middle. Deepti arches back to play the ramp but fails to connect.

Lauren Bell to Deepti Sharma, FOUR! In the gap! Bell takes pace off and bowls it into the surface, on middle. This sits up to be hit and Deepti waits back before hammering the pull to the left of the diving deep mid-wicket fielder.

Lauren Bell to Harmanpreet Kaur, On a back of a length, on off, Kaur knocks it wide of cover for a single.

Lauren Bell to Deepti Sharma, A better throw and it would have been trouble for the Indian skipper. Bell begins with the back-of-the-hand slower one, on a length, on middle and leg. Deepti nurdles it to the right of deep square leg. Kaur is off for the second run and is halfway through before being sent back. Freya Kemp's throw at the batting end is a bit wide to the keeper and Amy Jones can't gather it cleanly. Kaur makes her ground with a dive.

Lauren Bell (3-0-29-1) will bowl the penultimate over.

Linsey Smith to Deepti Sharma, On the fuller side, on middle. Deepti clips it through mid-wicket and keeps the strike with a single.

Linsey Smith to Deepti Sharma, FOUR! Clever batting! Full and pushed across the off stump. Deepti walks across the stumps and gets low. She knows that fine leg is inside the circle. Sharma gets under the ball to play the aerial sweep behind square leg for a boundary.

30 runs in the last 3 overs, and this Indian inning is gathering steam just at the right moment. England have been solid in the field so far, but they will look to dismiss Kaur as quickly as possible. Linsey Smith (3-0-31-1) is back on for her last over.

Danielle Gibson to Harmanpreet Kaur, FOUR! Straight as an arrow. Pace on now, full and at the sticks. Kaur clears the front leg and swings through the line to pump it back over the bowler's head. 12 runs off the over. The 50-run stand comes up and the 150 is also up for India.

Danielle Gibson to Harmanpreet Kaur, This is on a short of a length, on off. Kaur slaps it to deep cover and rotates the strike.

Danielle Gibson to Harmanpreet Kaur, Pace off and on a shortish length, on off. Kaur makes room to flay it away but can't beat Sophia Dunkley at point.

Danielle Gibson to Harmanpreet Kaur, Gibson serves the leg-cutter, into the pitch. Kaur had to wait for an eternity. She swings hard at it but can't quite get hold of it. She manages to clear mid off and picks up a couple of runs.

Last 4 overs left. India are in a decent position to get the score in excess of 180, which might be a good one on this slowish track. England have used just five bowlers so far this evening and Danielle Gibson (3-0-26-0) will bowl out now.

Charlie Dean (3-0-25-1) is back for her final over.

Linsey Smith to Harmanpreet Kaur, FOUR! Shot of the match so far! Lands it just outside off, on a fullish bit of length. Enough room for Harmanpreet Kaur as she lofts it inside out over extra cover for a cracking boundary. The Indian captain moves to 34 off 27.

Linsey Smith to Deepti Sharma, Slides it across the batter, touch short. Deepti Sharma hangs back and whips it to deep square leg for a single.

Linsey Smith to Deepti Sharma, WIDE! Fuller and down leg at 90 kph, Deepti goes for the sweep and misses, wide called. The ball trickles in front of short fine leg and Harmanpreet sets off for a quick single, but her partner sends her back in time and the danger is averted.

Linsey Smith to Deepti Sharma, Excellent piece of fielding, this time by Capsey! Very full on middle. Deepti gets under it and pumps it over the bowler's head. Alice Capsey from long on rushes across to her right and slides to cut it and saves two runs for her side.

Linsey Smith to Harmanpreet Kaur, Landed in and around the leg stump line, Harmanpreet Kaur goes back and across and tucks it to deep mid-wicket to rotate the strike over.
