- BATSMENRB4s6sSR44.5 Wong provides England with the breakthrough! Jones standing up to the stumps snaffles the catch. Fullish, threatens to angle in from around the wicket, but nips away in the channel. Mandhana pushes away from the body and ends up nicking it behind. Sharp take from the keeper. No hundred for Mandhana 190/41.2 Filer rips one off the outside edge! Perfect delivery, jagging back at Verma, who is trying to defend but can only manage a nick to the diving Jones! Pace, bounce and nibble coupled with a fiendish length. All killer, no filler from Filer. Two balls to make her mark on this historic Test match 4/16.6 bowled 'er, Bell produces a peach! Tough first spell for Bell but she hits back with a wicket from the final ball of her fourth over. Bhatia looks dumbfounded, but the ball went both ways - swinging in towards middle and leg, before hitting the seam and jiving across her closed bat face to hit off stump flush. Boshty 37/218.6 Wong has Jemimah chopping on! Finally some respite for the hosts. Full and wide of off - finishes wider than a set of stumps outside off - Jemimah has her feet pinned to the crease. She throws her hands at the ball and tries to force it through the off side. Instead, she ends up dragging the ball back onto her own stumps. Her knock has been cut short on 35 101/351.2 Maiden Test wicket for Villiers! She bowls Harman through the gate at the stroke of tea. Harmanpreet looks back to survey the damage. This is a delightful delivery from the debutant. Tossed up liberally outside off. The length is full, which lures Harmanpreet into a big drive but Villiers extracts bigger turn to burst through the defences of Harmanpreet. The ball clatters into middle stump 202/556.6 short ball, helped away... straight to fine leg! A cheap dismissal and England continue to work their way through this India line-up. Ghosh was looking to play a pull-cum-paddle through the leg side but only got it off the top edge. Well held by Wong low down as the ball died on her 229/6Extras9 (b 5, lb 2, nb 1, w 1)TOTAL267/6 (65 Overs, RR: 4.1)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Shafali Verma, 1.2 ov), 2-37 (Yastika Bhatia, 6.6 ov), 3-101 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 18.6 ov), 4-190 (Smriti Mandhana, 44.5 ov), 5-202 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 51.2 ov), 6-229 (Richa Ghosh, 56.6 ov)
