INDW 253/8 (f/o) after 96 overs (Rana 36, Bhatia 4)
Brunt continues. She is really giving it her all with this second new ball. England are pushing for victory here. But Rana is frustrating the hosts her. If Bhatia can hold her ground too, India may harbour hopes of a draw here. Just one off the over.
INDW 252/8 (f/o) after 95 overs (Rana 35, Bhatia 4)
Ecclestone from the other end. Once again, attacking field from England - two slips, a silly point and a short leg. But Bhatia keeps her calm, defending through the over. Maiden over for Ecclestone, her 10th.
INDW 252/8 (f/o) after 94 overs (Sneh 35, Bhatia 4)
Brunt begins the proceedings in the final session. Nine runs of her over as Rana collects two fours in the over.
FOUR! Drifting onto the pads and Rana flicks it towards square leg. Lovely use of the wrists.
FOUR! Outside edge of Rana’a bat and the ball races past gully for a boundary. Brunt, the bowler, is disappointed.
We’re back live. Bhatia and Rana will resume the battle for India. Brunt will take the ball.
Tea break, Day 4: It's been a testing session for India, with five wickets collapsing this session. Shikha Pandey and Sneh Rana had given a glimpse of hope with a 41-run stand for the seventh wicket. Rana lost Pandey, however, and will continue post tea with Taniya Bhatia at the other end. India lead by 78 runs with two wickets remaining. Join us for what should be an enthralling final session in a few minutes.
INDW 243/8 (f/o) after 93 overs (Sneh 27, Bhatia 3)
Ecclestone continues. Bhatia picks a single towards third man, but this one's just edged past gully fielder. And players head off for the tea break. Just the one run from the over.
INDW 242/8 (f/o) after 91 overs (Sneh 27, Bhatia 2)
Brunt returns with Bhatia facing her. Bhatia finds the point region for a single. Just that one run off it.
NDW 241/8 (f/o) after 91 overs (Sneh 27, Bhatia 1)
Another blow for India this over with the dismissal of Shikha Pandey . She tried to give a touch with the bat down the leg side, only to nick it and gift a catch chance to Amy Jones. Sciver with another scalp. One run and a wicket. Taniya Bhatia is the new batter and she's off the mark with a single.

Only 45.5 overs were bowled, but India will still have work to do when the match resumes on Saturday.
India resumed the day on 187-5, which was still 60 runs behind follow-on, but a flurry of wickets from Sophie Ecclestone put the visitors in trouble at 197/8. While England wasted no time in taking the second new ball, Anya Shrubsole wrapped up the Indians’ first innings at 231, half an hour before lunch. India were still 16 runs behind the follow-on total, and the hosts enforced follow-on thereafter.
India went to lunch at 29/1, having lost Smriti Mandhana early. The start of the post-lunch session was delayed by half an hour due to rain, and once play resumed, India surpassed the 50-run mark before rain played spoilsport once again. India went to the second rain break at 57/1, still trailing by 108 runs, but Shafali Verma (45*) was looking in good touch with Deepti Sharma (1*).
The match resumed once again after the rain receded few minutes later, and Shafali got to her second fifty of the match, thereby becoming the youngest woman to hit two half-centuries in a debut Test.
Rain halted play again around tea time, with India’s score reading 83/1, trailing the hosts by 82 runs. With the rain becoming heavy this time and refusing to recede, the umpires called for tea break, and with the rain continuing to play spoilsport, it was later decided that there would be an early stumps.
The duo of Shafali and Deepti have so far forged a partnership of 54 for the second wicket.
