England v India: first women’s cricket ODI - live

1m ago 14.37 BST 23rd over: England 106-4 (Dunkley 7, Davidson-Richards 2) Dunkley tries to sweep Rana and top-edges over the keeper’s head for two. If England lose another wicket now this could be over before Pointless. Share

3m ago 14.36 BST 22nd over: England 102-4 (Dunkley 4, Davidson-Richards 1) Charani returns to the attack and continues an excellent mini-spell for India. They’ve picked up two wickets for 19 in the last seven overs. “I turned on the cricket about 20 minutes ago so there was something on in the background,” says Ant Pease. “Since I turned on the feed, the run rate has dropped by one per over, then two wickets fell in five minutes. For the good of the nation, I’ve turned back off. From here on out, I’m relying on the OBO...” NB: clip contains some adult language Share

7m ago 14.32 BST 21st over: England 99-4 (Dunkley 1, Davidson-Richards 1) Sophia Dunkley and Alice Davidson-Richards are England’s last recognised batters. They have a lot of work to do. Share

8m ago 14.30 BST When Sciver-Brunt was dropped by Mandhana at short midwicket a couple of overs ago, Harmanpreet moved her best fielder Jemimah Rodrigues into that position. Lo and behold, Sciver-Brunt offered a very similar chance – except this time it was caught superbly at ankle height by Rodrigues. England are in big trouble. Share Updated at 14.31 BST

11m ago 14.28 BST WICKET! England 97-4 (Sciver-Brunt c Rodrigues b Rana 41) India should be feeling pretty snug right now. Smug, too, because Sciver-Brunt has gone after an inspired change from the captain Harmanpreet Kaur! Share Updated at 14.32 BST

12m ago 14.27 BST 20th over: England 97-3 (Sciver-Brunt 41, Dunkley 0) Sciver-Brunt releases a bit of pressure with a majestic flick/pull to the left of midwicket for four. That’s the first boundary since the 13th over. India may be on top but the box seat won’t feel comfortable while Sciver-Brunt is at the crease. Share

15m ago 14.23 BST 19th over: England 92-3 (Sciver-Brunt 36, Dunkley 0) Terrific over from Rana – one run, one wicket. India are on top. Share

16m ago 14.22 BST WICKET! England 91-3 (Lamb c H Kaur b Rana 40) Join the dots and they’ll eventually read W-I-C-K-E-T. Emma Lamb succumbs to the pressure by mistiming a drive to mid-off that is comfortably held by Harmanpreet. Lamb goes for 39 from 50 balls. She started very well but struggled to rotate strike when the spinners came on. Share

18m ago 14.20 BST 18th over: England 90-2 (Lamb 40, Sciver-Brunt 35) Amanjot replaces Charani, a slightly surprising change of pace. But she continues the turning of the screw by conceding only a couple of singles; since drinks England have scored 13 runs in four overs. Share

23m ago 14.16 BST 17th over: England 88-2 (Lamb 39, Sciver-Brunt 34) Sneh Rana, another offspinner, comes on for Deepti Sharma. She has Sciver-Brunt dropped in her first over, a very tough low chance to Mandhana at midwicket. Two from the over. Sciver-Brunt is batting as if she thinks England need at least 300. One thing’s for sure: these trials by spin will be a feature of the upcoming World Cup. Share Updated at 14.20 BST

26m ago 14.13 BST 16th over: England 85-2 (Lamb 37, Sciver-Brunt 33) After three successive dot balls, Sciver-Brunt drives Charani fractionally short of mid-off, a reminder that dot-ball pressure affects even the best. Charani has started nicely: 3-0-12-0. Share

28m ago 14.11 BST 15th over: England 83-2 (Lamb 36, Sciver-Brunt 32) A lofted shot from Lamb teases Deol at mid-on before eventually clearing her and bouncing away for a couple. Six from Deepti’s over. Share

36m ago 14.03 BST Drinks: Lamb and NSB regroup 14th over: England 77-2 (Lamb 32, Sciver-Brunt 31) Sciver-Brunt is beaten slightly in the flight by Charani and hacks a slog-sweep behind square for a single. That’s one of five runs from the last over before drinks. Share

39m ago 14.00 BST 13th over: England 72-2 (Lamb 30, Sciver-Brunt 28) A leg-bye brings up the fifty partnership from 52 balls, an impressive effort given the position England are in. Both batters have looked very calm. Share

40m ago 13.58 BST Sciver-Brunt is not out Yep, outside the line so India lose a review. It was a poor decision to go upstairs, the kind you only make when the opposition’s best player is at the crease. Share

41m ago 13.57 BST India review for LBW against NSB! Sciver-Brunt looks around at the field, uploads it into the supercomputer between her ears and sweeps firmly into the space at deep square for four. Such good batting. India go up for LBW when she misses an attempt to lap the next ball. It looked outside the line but Harmanpreet has been persuaded to go upstairs. Share Updated at 14.13 BST

45m ago 13.54 BST 12th over: England 65-2 (Lamb 29, Sciver-Brunt 23) Shree Charani, the left-arm spinner, who befuddled England in the T20s, also concedes five from her first over. Lamb chips confidently over mid-on for four, then gets in a tangle with a premeditated lap. India enquire for LBW but I think Lamb top-edged the ball onto her arm; she may also have been outside the line. View image in fullscreen Shree Charani with a delivery.

48m ago 13.50 BST 11th over: England 60-2 (Lamb 25, Sciver-Brunt 22) As is so often the case, the end of the Powerplay means the first sight of a spinner. The offie Deepti Sharma comes into the attack and is milked for five runs; the best shot was NSB’s wristy clip to deep midwicket for two. Share Updated at 13.50 BST

52m ago 13.46 BST 10th over: England 55-2 (Lamb 24, Sciver-Brunt 18) Sciver-Brunt threads Goud between mid-off and extra cover for four, a classy shot with which to bring up England’s fifty. Goud’s spell (5-0-28-2) is a bit of a headscratcher: two beauties to dismiss Beaumont and Jones, not much else. But those two wickets mean she’s very much in credit. Share Updated at 13.50 BST

55m ago 13.43 BST 9th over: England 48-2 (Lamb 23, Sciver-Brunt 12) Amanjot bowls three dot balls in a row to Lamb – but then she goes and spoils it all with a low full toss that is whacked through midwicket for four by Lamb. Share

1h ago 13.39 BST 8th over: England 43-2 (Lamb 19, Sciver-Brunt 11) Lovely shot from Sciver-Brunt, a flick/sweep off Gaud that races through backward square for four. She’s into double figures and into her work. So is Emma Lamb, who clips crisply through midwicket for four more. She’s batting with calm authority and has moved to 19 from 22 balls with little risk. Share

1h ago 13.34 BST 7th over: England 33-2 (Lamb 15, Sciver-Brunt 6) Sciver-Brunt is beaten by a ball from Amanjot that keeps low and just misses off stump. She didn’t do much wrong; those deliveries are a nightmare for any batter, especially one as tall as NSB. She punches the next ball efficiently through mid-off for her first boundary, then edges in the air but well wide of slip. It’s a good contest, elevated further by the primacy of Sciver-Brunt’s wicket. Share

1h ago 13.31 BST 6th over: England 28-2 (Lamb 15, Sciver-Brunt 1) If Goud can repeat the trick and dismiss Nat Sciver-Brunt, India will be in control even at this early stage. Despite a modest 2024, Sciver-Brunt’s ODI record since the last World Cup is extraordinary: 1221 runs at 61.05 with a strike rate of 103. She gets off the mark by clipping her sixth ball, the last of the over, for a single. Share

1h ago 13.28 BST 5th over: England 27-2 (Lamb 15, Sciver-Brunt 0) Emma Lamb gets England’s first boundary with a smooth pull over square leg off Amanjot. She’s started confidently and is going at a run a ball. Share

1h ago 13.23 BST 4th over: England 20-2 (Lamb 9, Sciver-Brunt 0) Goud’s figures (2-0-10-2) don’t tell the story of a spell that has included several wides, a full toss, a long hop – and two brilliant deliveries to dismiss both England openers. Share

1h ago 13.22 BST WICKET! England 20-2 (Beaumont LBW b Goud 5) Tammy Beaumont has gone! It would have hit the top of middle stump and Kranti Goud has her second wicket. Share

1h ago 13.21 BST There might be an inside edge. It was a very similar to the delivery to the one that got Jones, nipping back from outside off stump. Nope, it’s pad first… Share

1h ago 13.20 BST India review for LBW against Beaumont! This looks close. Share

1h ago 13.17 BST 3rd over: England 17-1 (Beaumont 5, Lamb 6) Lamb times Amanjot sweetly through the covers for three, with Jemimah Rodrigues doing superbly to save the boundary. India’s fielding has been so impressive on this tour. Beaumont turns two to deep midwicket; there might have been a third there too. No boundaries yet but England have started busily. Share

1h ago 13.12 BST 2nd over: England 12-1 (Beaumont 3, Lamb 3) Emma Lamb cuts her first ball for two to get off the mark. Goud then bowls her fourth wide of a peculiar but successful over. Share

1h ago 13.09 BST WICKET! England 8-1 (Jones b Goud 1) That’s the weirdest set-up I’ve ever seen. Goud looked to be really struggling when she bowled three off-side wides in a row to Jones. The next delivery was perfectly pitched on fourth stump and came back off the seam to beat Jones and trim the bails. A stunning delivery, not least because of what preceded it.

2h ago 13.05 BST 1st over: England 5-0 (Beaumont 3, Jones 1) The seam-bowling allrounder Amanjot Kaur starts to Beaumont, who tickles her first ball round the corner for three. Amanjot finds a pretty good line to Jones, who works the last ball off the hip to get off the mark. Share

2h ago 12.58 BST It’s a beautiful afternoon in Southampton and the players are almost ready to go. Tammy Beaumont and Amy Jones, who made hay against West Indies, will open the batting. Share Updated at 12.59 BST

2h ago 12.40 BST Team news Sophie Ecclestone returns to the England side after missing the ODI series against West Indies earlier in the summer. That means there’s no place for Linsey Smith, who took seven very cheap wickets in that series. India stick with the XI that beat Sri Lanka in their Tri-Series final in May. The teams have balanced their bowling attack differently: three seamers and two spinners for England, two and three for India. England Beaumont, Jones (wk), Lamb, Sciver-Brunt (c), Dunkley, Davidson-Richards, Dean, Ecclestone, Cross, Filer, Bell. India Rawal, Mandhana, Deol, H Kaur (c), Rodrigues, Ghosh (wk), Sharma, A Kaur, Rana, Charani, Goud. Share Updated at 12.41 BST

2h ago 12.33 BST England win the toss and bat Nat Sciver-Brunt, back from injury, says it’s a good surface and “we know there are usually a lot of runs scored on this pitch”. Harmanpreet Kaur says India would have batted as well. Share Updated at 12.34 BST
