England would be kicking themselves. They were 106/3 at a stage in the game and then collapsed to 137/8. The fall of wickets in clusters stemmed the flow of runs as well. And in the end, they fell short by just eight runs. Poonam Yadav didn’t give the batters any pace to work with and picked up two key wickets. She was ably assisted by Deepti Sharma. 4 run-out dismissals there too, how often do we see that? Even keeping those aside, India were brilliant in the field. Showed great awareness and athleticism in the fielding department.

The series is levelled at 1-1. They can’t win the multi format series but can still go on to clinch the T20I series if they win the decider.

That’s it from us today, but do join us on 14^th July as we’ll bring you the coverage of the series decider. Goodnight!

Deepti Sharma is the Player of the Match for her all-round performance (24* and 1/18)!

Deepti: When me and Harry di were playing, the talk was about having a good partnership. My plan was to bowl maximum dot balls and bowl in a partnership as a bowing unit, cutting down on boundaries.

Harmanpreet Kaur, India captain: It was a great effort by our whole team. Everybody was on their toes. We got a very good start, but in between, we didn’t go that well. At the last, our batters batted really well and we took it to 140. I will give credit to our bowlers. They know about the field placements. Today our fielders were outstanding. We always want to win wherever we go. This new bubble thing is not easy but we are getting better. Credit to support staff for helping us and covering up for us in every aspect.

Heather Knight, England captain: I think we were very good for a large portion of the game. Way Beaumont batted was outstanding. 106/2, we should’ve won the game. (On run out) Obviously didn’t get back in. It was not at all deliberate by Deepti. Changed the game a little bit. It’s a good wicket, and we’ve got to be better. We can’t lose the series, but we’re desperate to win it. Credit to them, they fought back hard.

What a tour this youngster's having at the moment

Sneh Rana has starred at the end in the only three matches India Women have not lost on this tour.

Twice with bat. Once with ball.

What a comeback.

Coming from someone who knows a thing or two about incredible comebacks

Top top effort from the girls to win this one. England needed just 33 in 30 balls with 6 wickets in hand and were cruising along but the Indian girls showed amazing skills and bowled superbly. This is an amazing win, so proud of the girls @BCCIWomen #ENGvIND pic.twitter.com/GS116G9rnr

After 20 overs,England Women 140/8 ( Sophie Ecclestone 5 , Sarah Glenn 1)

Rana has been given the responsibility of bowling the final over. Can she hold nerve? Another wicket falls as Villiers departs after failing to reach the crease back off the second delivery. Ecclestone slaps the fourth delivery down the ground, Rana does well to get hand to it and save a boundary. She’s in some pace thereafter but continues to bowl. Just five off the over.

DONE AND DUSTED! India win by eight wickets. A fine comeback from the visitors. The series is levelled at 1-1. All eyes on the decider now. 

RUN OUT! On the line, there was no part of the bat that was inside the crease and Villiers has to depart. England are crumbling here. 12 needed off 4. Mady Villiers run out (Richa Ghosh) 2(3)

After 19 overs,England Women 135/7 ( Sophie Ecclestone 3 , Mady Villiers 1)

Penultimate over of the innings and Poonam does a fantastic job, conceding only four runs and scalping another important wicket, that of Brunt. 14 needed off 6. It’s going down to the wire.

OUT! Poonam removes Brunt. India staging a remarkable comeback here. Brunt looks to slap it through the covers but edges it straight to Richa behind the stumps. Again, hardly any pace to work with. Brunt c Richa Ghosh b Poonam Yadav 5(8)
