Key occasions
WICKET! Lamb c Manhana b Sharma 11 (England 276-7)
Lamb sacrifices herself for the trigger! What selection did she have? She needed to attempt to belt a six. Sharma had a bit of biut further on it and the ball skies in direction of the fielder at long-on who takes a regulation catch. Sharma closes out with 4-51 from her 10.
forty ninth over: England 277-7 (Dean 12, Ecclestone 1)
forty eighth over: England 269-6 (Lamb 11, Dean 5) Poor fielding within the deep palms England their first boundary in 4 overs. Lamb’s pull off Rana wasn;t precisely belted, however the diving fielder couldn’t haul it in. 5 singles earlier than then means it’s an honest haul for an England group that wanted a raise after being stored in a cage.
forty seventh over: England 260-6 (Lamb 5, Dean 2) The final three overs have bagged three English wickets for simply 14 runs. India have achieved brilliantly to claw their method again into this.
WICKET! Capsey c Deol b Sharma 2 (England 257-6)
They’re falling like flies now! Honest play to Capsey, she tried to make one thing out of nothing. However Sharma is just too slick for her as she observed the batter transfer early into place to reverse scoop. Sharma pushed her line in direction of leg stump however Capsey was already dedicated. The reverse pull was messy and the catch taken at cowl was a easy one for Deol.
forty sixth over: England 255-5 (Lamb 3, Capsey 1) Two wickets in two overs have put the skids on this innings. However no time for thought. England must squeeze as a lot as they will from the remaining overs. Each ball should go.
WICKET! Dunkley c Sharma b Shree Charani 15 (England 254-5)
And one other! India are pulling this again. Dunkley skips down the observe and tries to loft a drive down the bottom for six. It appeared good, however she didn’t have sufficient on it and picked out Sharma at long-off who pouched it as she tumbled backwards.
forty fifth over: England 252-4 (Dunkley 15, Lamb 2) I requested if that run-out was the sport as a result of I really feel that may be the distinction between an insurmountable goal and one thing India may haul in. Six runs off that over plus the essential wicket of Knight.
WICKET! Knight run-out (AB Kaur/Ghosh) 109 (England 249-4)
Is that the sport? Knight drags a pull shot into the deep and units off. She turns to return again for a second however the throw from Kaur is ideal. She’s nowhere close to security and Knight has to go. What a disappointing finish. There actually was no must tackle the arm simply but. England should now navigate these last overs with out their set batter.
forty fourth over: England 246-3 (Knight 107, Dunkley 13) Knight reached her century optimistically, getting turned inside out and edging previous the keeper. However her subsequent stroke was imperious, nailing Charani via level. What’s a very good rating from right here? 280? 300? All rests on Knight sticking round I reckon.
Hundred up for Knight!
What an innings! She’s been good all through. A little bit of luck to get there, as she was overwhelmed within the air by Charani and caught a thick edge that skipped nice for 4, however she’s barely put a foot flawed. 101 off 86 balls with 14 fours and one six. Excellent.
forty third over: England 234-3 (Knight 97, Dunkley 11) Knight goes inside one hit of a deserving ton as she stands tall, waits for the ball to return to her, and belts it in entrance of sq. for 4. That was a unbelievable cricket shot from a girl in peak type. 4 singles earlier than that off Renuka Singh provides as much as eight. It’s an honest haul however England will need extra. First, Knight wants 100.
forty second over: England 226-3 (Knight 91, Dunkley 9) Knight strikes into the 90s whereas Dunkley picks up a boundary with a chop via deep level. She didn’t fairly get all of it, however she received sufficient of it. Eight off that over from Sharma. England wanted one thing as issues had been stalling. 16 runs off the final three overs.
forty first over: England 219-3 (Knight 89, Dunkley 4) is Tidy from Charani. She’s actually turned issues round after a ropey begin. 4 singles off this one. Darters on the stumps have to be revered and the England batters have little selection however to take advantage of ones.
fortieth over: England 214-3 (Knight 87, Dunkley 1) Three singles off this Sharma over. She’s received three overs left so England can’t sit on her for too lengthy. This feels just like the deep breath earlier than the plunge. A few fast wickets would have India in management. If Knight can explode from right here it’ll be England sitting fairly. 10 mighty overs developing.
thirty ninth over: England 212-3 (Knight 85, Dunkley 1) The tip of a 113-run partnership has given India a raise, however Knight continues to be there focusing on a ton. She’ll need assistance from the remainder of the facet, beginning with Dunkley who may do with a rating of her personal. Charani has rectified her figures with that wicket in an over price simply three runs.
WICKET! Sciver-Brunt c Kaur b Shree Charani 38 (England 211-3)
Towards the run of play! England’s skipper tries to beat the infield with a lofted cowl drive nevertheless it’s barely too full and she will be able to’t fairly get the elevation wanted. Her reverse quantity instances her leap to perfection and holds on to a pointy catch above her head. That’s an enormous scalp for the house group.
thirty eighth over: England 208-2 (Knight 88, Sciver-Brunt 37) Sensational batting. Sciver-Brunt baggage a pair after which mows a pull off Kranti for 4.

So so good. 14 off that over and England are actually one thing hefty.
thirty seventh over: England 194-2 (Knight 76, Sciver-Brunt 30) Knight is taking part in a blinder. She’s hitting a boundary each over. This one is a stiff sweep off the returning Sharma that flies via backward sq.. There’s a assessment for lbw nevertheless it’s lacking by a long way. India have burned one other one. That’s eight unsuccessful critiques this World Cup.
thirty sixth over: England 187-2 (Knight 71, Sciver-Brunt 28) Knight closes this over with one other boundary, high edging a sweep. She’s residing dangerously. Charani is irritated. She was squaky clear til then. The primary ball of the over was a magnificence, on a tough size and appeared to have bowled Knight. However the bails had been eliminated by Ghosh from behind so no cube for the Indians who’re trying a bit of determined now. Momentum is firmly with the batting facet.
thirty fifth over: England 180-2 (Knight 66, Sciver-Brunt 26) Two sweeps, two fours for Knight. The primary is a top-edged typical sweep that was streaky, however was nice and excessive sufficient to get to the rope.

thirty fourth over: England 170-2 (Knight 57, Sciver-Brunt 25) They’re selecting up a boundary an over now. Amonjot delivers som dross down the leg facet and Knight simply helps it on its method for 4 right down to nice leg. The remainder of the set is fairly tidy. Only one single off Knight’s pads.

thirty third over: England 165-2 (Knight 52, Sciver-Brunt 25) Knight brings up her fifty with a reverse choose up via deep third for 4. Sensible batting from the veteran.

Good mini battles on the market.
twenty seventh over: England 128-2 (Knight 27, Sciver-Brunt 14) Kranti returns and sends down a tidy set price simply two singles. England are going at 4.74. The final 5 overs have gone at 4.8. You get the sense that certainly one of these two might want to press the accelerator.

WICKET! Jones c Mandhana b Sharma 56 (England 98-2)
Oh Amy, what have you ever achieved?! That’s so comfortable from a batter who appeared so set. A bit of skip and a flick to Sharma is nudged to a diving Mandhana at a large mid-on. Certain, it was a pointy take, as she moved rapidly to her proper, however that was such a comfortable method to go after taking part in so fantastically. Sharma deserved credit score fir giving the ball some air, however Jones will likely be sick with herself.
twenty first over: England 98-1 (Jones 56, Knight 12) Knight kicks off this over with a fragile steer that races alongside the bottom and reaches the boundary down at deep third.
