Brunt continues. England have a chance of bowling out India under their quota of 50 overs here. India in a precarious position. Mithali, the key for them here as the set batter and the only recognised one too. Two runs off the over.
After 44 overs, INDW 181/8 (Jhulan 0, Raj 57)
Sciver continues. Pandey edges the fifth delivery into the wicketkeeper’s gloves as India lose their eighth wicket. Mithali would want to take most of the strike here. Two runs and a wicket off the over.

After 42 overs, INDW 177/6 (Bhatia 2, Raj 55)
Sciver returns to the attack. India must try to go at six runs per over here, as the minimum. Three bouncers to Bhatia in the over, who cannot help but leave them. Just two runs off the over.

After 40 overs, INDW 171/5 (Bhatia 1, Raj 51)
Cross picks up her fifth wicket, what a day she’s having. This time, it’s Rana, who got a leading edge and Knight completed a catch at cover, albeit it slipped once from her hands. Mithali, meanwhile, completes her fifty in the over. Three runs off the over.
50! Second fifty on the trot for Mithali. Much quicker than the last time. Six fours from her blade so far. But India would want her to finish the innings in style, as the well set batter.

The India captain played well in the first game but it was not enough to take her side home as India struggled to get to a decent total. The snail-paced India innings, in fact, cost them the game, England racing to the target in just under 35 overs with plenty of wickets in hand.
Punam Raut and Raj played too many dots in the middle overs in their response to loss of early wickets. They had steadied Indian innings after early dismissals of openers Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma but the pace of the innings and failure of other batters meant India finished with only 201 on the board at the end of the allotted 50 overs.

England's Tammy Beaumont (87 off 87), Natalie Sciver (74 off 74) played in completely contrasting manner as they raced past the total with over 15 overs remaining.
In the second ODI, India need to fix their weakness, which is maintaining a healthy run-rate while batting. Also, the new-ball bowlers are expected to put on a better show.
