IND vs ENG 2nd T20I Live Streaming: India take on England. (Source: PTI)IND vs ENG Live Cricket Score 2nd Women’s T20I Live Streaming: India’s record in T20Is has started to appear abysmal with the side losing their fifth straight game against England earlier this week. Entering the 2nd T20I in the series, India Women will hope to bounce back and end their losing streak in the format. In Harmanpreet Kaur’s absence, the onus to lead is on Smriti Mandhana, who has not shied away from the responsibility.
England failed to cope with India’s spin attack in the ODIs on slow surface. But in the T20Is, on the surface which aids stroke play, England batters were effective against the spin duo of Deepti Sharma and Radha Yadav. India would have to play a wildcard in case the visitors are able to do the same again. Catch Live score and updates of India vs England 2nd T20I.
50 up for India
After a brisk start, India have lost their way in the match. Mithali Raj and Deepti Sharma are in the middle trying to stitch a good partnership. They have brought 50 up for India in 9 overs.
9 overs, IND 50/3
GONE!
WICKET! Ordinary, absolutely ordinary from Harleen Deol. A slow delivery from Linsey Smith and Harleen tried to pull it past the midwicket for a boundary. Couldn't generate enough power and it went straight to Natalie Sciver's hands. IND 34/3
GONE!
WICKET! Katherine Brunt has taken her second wicket. Harleen Deol takes a wide swing on a straighter delivery. She was deceived by the pace on the ball. Completely missed it and the ball went on to knock down the stumps. IND 34/2
FOUR!
SLICED! Harleen Deol sliced a wider delivery off stump and it raced towards the boundary ropes. No chance for any fielder to get there. India looking to break the shackles.
GONE!
WICKET! Smriti Mandhana has played on a wider delivery from Katherine Brunt. She gets an edge and it went to the keeper behind the stumps. MASSIVE WICKET! Mandhana walks back for 12. IND 24/1
SIX!
AND ANOTHER ONE! Mandhana flexes her bat for another clean hit over the bowler's head. This too will cross the distance. Good start from the skipper and she is looking in the mood for a big innings here. 2 overs gone, India 23/0
SIX!
SIX! Smriti Mandhana faces the first ball and plays it straight for a six. Not the best of starts for Anya Shrubsole. She pitched it fuller and wider and it was right on Mandhana's radar.
HERE WE GO!
Harleen Deol and Smriti Mandhana are at the crease. Harleen Deol is on strike. Natalie Sciver will open the attack for England. HERE WE GO!
Skippers speak
Mandhana: We were also looking to field first because there was a bit rain last night and we don't know how the wicket behaves. We are looking to improve on all the aspects and we need to step up with the bat. Last match, I was a bit nervous, now I'm really looking forward to it. We have two changes as well.
Beaumont: We are going to have a bowl, it's a bit tacky and we are happy to chase today. It's the best chance, we played very well the other day. We have made two changes.
