FOUR! Heaved towards the midwicket fence, with the ball crossing the boundary rope between two converging fielders. Fine hit by Deepti, who's the set batter at the moment, and will be hoping to get India to 150. IND 136/4

After 18 overs,India Women 125/4 ( Deepti Sharma (C) 18 , )
A well-timed pull over the wide long on fence by Ghosh off the second delivery somewhat ruins Sciver’s tidy figures so far today, but she more than makes up for it by collecting a fine return catch to dismiss the same batter off her last delivery of the day, finishing with figures of 1/20.
OUT! Sciver ends her spell with a wicket, as Ghosh ends up hitting the ball straight back to the seamer, who reacts just in time to pull off a fine return catch. IND 125/4
Ghosh c and b Sciver 8(9)
SIX! Length ball from Sciver, and Ghosh makes the most of it, smacking it towards the wide long off fence to collect her first maximum. IND 123/3
After 17 overs,India Women 116/3 ( Deepti Sharma (C) 12 , Richa Ghosh 1)
Tidy over from Ecclestone as she gives away just two singles in her third over of the innings. She has been outstanding so far, giving away just 13 from three overs with a maiden.
After 16 overs,India Women 114/3 ( Deepti Sharma (C) 11 , Richa Ghosh 0)
Eventful over from Sarah Glenn, as Harman smacks a four and a six off consecutive deliveries to give India’s run rate a massive boost, before getting caught by Brunt near long off to depart after a well-made 31. Another four overs to go, and India need someone to nail the finishing act at this stage.
OUT! Kaur's eventful stay at the crease comes to an end afterall, as Glenn gets rid of the hard-hitting Indian skipper. Kaur was hoping to continue to flow of boundaries after hitting a four and a six off the previous two deliveries, but doesn't quite middle this inside out slog. Brunt rushes forward from long off to complete a fine catch. IND 112/3
Kaur c Brunt b Glenn 31(25)
SIX! A shot very similar to the one in the previous delivery, and the skipper goes even bigger, just about clearing the midwicket fence to collect her second maximum of the innings. IND 112/2
FOUR! Kaur's leading India's charge alright! Gets down on one knee and slogs the ball in front of square on the leg side. IND 106/2
After 15 overs,India Women 102/2 ( Harmanpreet Kaur (C) 21 , Deepti Sharma 9)
Sciver, England’s standout bowler so far today, returns to the attack. Kaur sets off for a single off the third delivery after directing a short ball angling into her throat towards third man with a gentle dab. Deepti runs the ball down the ground next delivery, dashing back for a second run. Single off each of the last two balls, with Kaur retaining the strike. India breach the 100-mark in this over.
England women vs India women, 2nd T20I, LIVE score and updates: Eventful over from Sarah Glenn, as Harman smacks a four and a six off consecutive deliveries to give India’s run rate a massive boost, before getting caught by Brunt near long off to depart after a well-made 31. Another four overs to go, and India need someone to nail the finishing act at this stage.
Preview, 2nd T20I: It’s a must win game for Harmanpreet Kaur and Co if they wish to keep themselves alive in the three-match T20I series.
After showing tremendous grit, India managed to pull off a draw in the one off Test. Moving onto limited-overs, India lost the three-match ODI series 2-1 and this was followed by a loss in the opening T20I encounter by 18 runs by virtue of the DLS method.
India will heavily rely on their openers Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana to do bulk of the scoring in the batting department.
All eyes will once again be on skipper Harmanpreet, who is in the middle of woeful run with the bat. The bowlers would want to put on a much improved show, especially at the death, having conceded 177 in the first T20I.
England seem to have all bases covered at the moment and skipper Heather Knight will be mighty pleased with how they have gone about their business, especially in the limited-overs matches thus far.
