OUT! KNOCKED HER OVER! This is an outstanding piece of seam bowling from the Indian pacers. Satghare gets her second wicket and is all smiles. She bowls with an upright seam and lands it on a fuller length, getting an extravagant inswing through the air. Alice Capsey is forced to play the angle. She gets on the front foot to drive it away but that creates a massive gap between the bat and pad, which is enough for the ball to barge through and rattle the stumps. England Women have lost half their side on 59 runs.

Excellent review by the captain! Rana dishes out a full ball which lands and grips sharply into the batter. Nat Sciver-Brunt is drawn forward and looks to defend it straight, but plays all over it. The ball sneaks past the inside edge and Nat is hit on the pads. A very confident appeal for LBW, and the umpire instantly raises her finger. But Nat Sciver-Brunt has opted for a review, challenging the on-field decision. If there's no bat involved, Sciver-Brunt will be in trouble. But height can be a factor here as well.
