IND-W vs ENG-W Live Score

1:36 PM IST Richa's lone fight - In pursuit of 172, the Indian batters struggled to come to terms with the pace and bounce of the used surface, resulting in a sluggish start. Yastika Bhatia and Harmanpreet Kaur both got starts but were unable to convert them into substantial contributions. It was only with the arrival of Richa Ghosh that India found a spark. Despite losing partners at the other end, Ghosh kept her side in the hunt. England, who had been excellent with the ball for much of the innings, began to feel the pressure as Ghosh launched her counterattack. India came within one big hit of pulling off a remarkable win, but Linsey Smith held her nerve at the death to close out the win for England.

1:34 PM IST Final tune-up complete - Warm-up action is done for these two heavyweights. England kick-start their campaign against Sri Lanka on the opening night of the tournament on Friday, 12 June, while India begin their quest for glory against Pakistan on Sunday, 14 June. There is still one more warm-up game coming up in Cardiff, with Australia taking on West Indies at 2 pm GMT. Do join us for that game. Thanks for your company, and see you again soon.

1:33 PM IST The skipper of England Women - Nat Sciver-Brunt says that the girls really stuck it out there at the end. Adds that once a batter like Richa gets going, you have to be smart, and Linsey held her nerve well. Mentions that the way Gibson batted at the death gave them a bit of momentum going into defending. Mentions that it was good to spend some time out there in the middle, and it was a good warm-up from all facets of the game for them. On her non-dismissal, she says that she knew that it hit her foot, but in the heat of the moment, you never can be sure (laughs). Ends by saying the team is really excited and looking forward to their first game against Sri Lanka now.

1:33 PM IST A productive outing - One of the key objectives for England going into the game was for their skipper, Nat Sciver-Brunt, to have valuable time in the middle after her recent calf injury, and that box was certainly ticked. Given a life on 21 when a caught-behind appeal went in her favour, Sciver-Brunt made the most of it with a timely knock. Amy Jones also contributed at the top of the order, while a late cameo from Danielle Gibson helped England post 171.

1:27 PM IST The captain of India Women - Harmanpreet Kaur says that Richa is someone who is a match-winner for their side, and it is good that she got her confidence. She adds that they failed to get partnerships in the middle, but it is good to see how Richa batted. She reckons that she is happy that everyone got their chances to play. She says that they have got their confidence in these two warm-up games, and they will play fearlessly against Pakistan in their opening game.

1:27 PM IST Time to hear from the two captains...
