DB Sharma to Kemp, 1 run, Across Kemp again, hard length, clubbed down to wide long off

Start the car. Just the formalities for India to complete with four overs left. An unlikely 69 to clear for England, as skipper Charlie Dean makes her way to the middle. Nonstriker's end for now as Sharma bowls her final over

END OF OVER:
16 | 5 Runs 2 Wkts | ENG-W: 120/5 (69 runs required from 24 balls, RR: 7.50, RRR: 17.25)

  • Freya Kemp7 (8b)

  • Deepti Sharma3-0-34-0

NSS Sharma to Gibson, OUT, Two in two for Sharma and Shafali! Another slower ball, another loft high to the leg side... but this one goes higher and requires Shafali to sprint in from the sponge, taken out in front of her halfway to the 30-yard circle

DR Gibson c Shafali Verma b NSS Sharma 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0

Sandeep Mathew: "England suprisingly hit the snooze button after tenth over it seems ! Scoring at a princely run a ball when asking rate was 10+ ! Bizarre !!" Gibson joins Kemp, with surely too much to do.

15.5
W
NSS Sharma to Jones, OUT, Slower again, outside off, slog-swept by Jones... and taken by Verma at deep midwicket! Take a bow Nandani Sharma - her first international dismissal is a vital one. Jones struck it well but needed an extra 10 yards on that. England circling the drain...

AE Jones c Shafali Verma b NSS Sharma 67 (48b 9x4 0x6) SR: 139.58

DB Sharma to Kemp, 1 run, Very wide outside off, Kemp could have left that for a wide but steps across to bump it on the head out to deep cover where guess who does the fielding

This is now Amy Jones' highest score in a home T20I

DB Sharma to Jones, FOUR, Swept over short fine! Excellent from Jones, steps across anticipating something straighter and quicker, gets low and sweeps hard
14.1
4
DB Sharma to Jones, FOUR, Laced through extra cover! Bit of a floaty half-volley from Deepti, Jones makes room, dances down and nails that

86 needed from 36... Deepti to Jones. This is the game, right here

An awkward catch in the end, but clean as you like from Rodrigues. Freya Kemp is in at five...

Shree Charani to Knight, OUT, Straight to Rodrigues on the midwicket sponge! Knight comes down and swings to the leg side, but it's a foot short of clearing the boundary. Another start for Knight...
