India vs England, Women’s World Cup 2022 Highlights: India fight to the end but England get back to winning ways

England (136/6 in 31.2 overs) beat India (134 all-out) by 4 wickets in Mount Maunganui

Ecclestone pulls a short ball from Meghna to the boundary to finish the chase off. England are back in the reckoning in the World Cup and how. India did go down fighting and so they can take some motivation out of this game. Their batting may have dissapointed but their bowlers were on point and so was their fielding effort. Heather Knight remains unbeaten on 53 off 72. 

Jhulan Goswami bowls the 31st over and Sophie Ecclestone pushes the fifth ball towards mid-on. Harmanpreet ensures that it is just a single but she seemed to have got her knee stuck in the ground when making the slide and stays down. The physio comes on, makes an assessment and takes Harmanpreet off the ground. 

Catherine Brunt c Richa Ghosh b Meghna Singh 0 (2), England 128/6

Well that's her third wicket of the match. Meghna bangs it in short and Brunt gets a top edge. The ball loops up and Ghosh settles under it to take the catch. India fighting to the end here. 

Sophia Dunkley c Richa Ghosh b Meghna Singh 17 (21), England 128/5

Length ball outside off from Meghna and Dunkley gets an edge on it before it goes to Richa Ghosh. That's the end of an entertaining cameo. 

Meghna Singh had given away just seven runs in five overs but Sophia Dunkley hit back to back fours off her before which Knight hit a boundary off the first ball of that over. England just 13 runs away now. 

In a day of positives, this is one more that England would gladly take. She has got to her 23rd ODI half century in 66 balls and her team are cruising towards victory now. 

Amy Jones c Harmanpreet b Gayakwad 10 (28), England 102/4 off 24.4 overs

Amy Jones tries to go again but mistimes it. It looked it had gotten clear of Harmanpreet but she leaps up and tries to take it with two hands. The ball nestles in her outstretched right hand and she falls back but manages to hold on to it. That would go down in the tournament's highlight reels. 

Amy Jones tees off and that is the first maximum of the England innings. She steps down, holds her shape and sends it over the ropes.

Need 40 runs to win off as many as 156 balls. Heather Knight has sped up her scoring rate a bit. It has all come together quite wonderfully today for her team. 

Knight brings out the reverse sweep against Deepti Sharma and sends the ball running to the boundary behind backward point. The target is well within reach and Knight is making use of the freedom to get some form. Good news for England as they skipper finally gets some runs in her kitty. 

Amy Jones, who was brilliant for England behind the stumps, has joined her captain in the middle. Knight has scored 29 off 52 balls thus far, hitting one four after Sciver's dismissal. It has been a patient innings from Knight and her team certainly needs it to ensure there is no upset here. 

Sciver c Jhulan b Vastrakar 45, England 69/3 in 17 overs

Well that wicket came out of nowhere. Sciver looks to work Vastrakar's length ball, which was the very next delivery after the boundary, to the on side, only ends up getting a leading edge and the ball floats up into the air and falls kindly into Jhulan's hands as she came running in from midwicket.

Nat Sciver is not hanging around. Length ball on off from Vastrakar and Sciver smashes that for a boundary. 

England are 59/2 off 15 overs, need 76 to win off 35 overs. India made a good start to this defence but Sciver may just have taken the game away from them here. It will take a spectacular collapse for England to lose it from here. 

Back-to-back fours from Nat Sciver off Sneh Rana and that marks the 50-partnership between her and Knight. Knight has scored just 13 off 30 balls in this partnership and Sciver has put England firmly in the ascendancy. 

Sneh Rana introduced into the attack in the 13th and she gives just two runs. England know they are not chasing the biggest of targets and they have two of their most experienced batters at the crease. But they will want to keep a good strike rate and thus far, India have been pretty clinical in the field. 

Nat Sciver takes on Rajeshwari Gayakwad and gets a couple of boundaries with the sweep shot. She moves to 20 off 18 at the end of that over. 

Rajeshwari Gayakwad has been brought into the attack. Jhulan and Meghna have given India as good as a start as they could have hoped for with those two early wickets and the fact that they have not really let England score freely. 

Welcome boundary for Heather Knight. Short from Jhulan and the England captain hooks to help the ball on its way. Jhulan lets out of a frustrated grunt after that shot. 

England are 21/2 after 7 overs

Full deliver on middle from Jhulan that Sciver tries to dive, it rolls off her pads and hits the stumps but the bails don't come off! Sciver is smiling and nodding, acknowledging that she got away with that one as the ball rests at the foot of the middle stump. 

Nat Sciver drives Goswami on the up wide of cover and the ball races away to the boundary. That was her first ball of the match and so she is off the mark with a four. 

Beaumont LBW b Goswami 1 (10), England 4/2

Well how about this. Huge shout for LBW and the umpire shakes her head. Mithali Raj goes for the DRS. It looked plumb so the umpire must have thought that the batter got something on it with the bat. As it turned out she didn't and the dangerous Tammy Beaumont has to go. That makes Jhulan Goswami the first to reach 250 wickets in women's ODIs. 

Wyatt c Sneh Rana b Meghna 1 (3), England 3/1 in 1.1 overs. 

Brilliant catch from Sneh Rana at first slip. Wyatt was surprised by the bounce that Meghna got from outside off and the ball lobs to the right of first slip. Sneh Rana flings herself to take the catch behind her. 

The first run comes off a wide after which both batters get off the mark with singles. Jhulan Goswami is one wicket away from taking 250 wickets in ODIs.
