- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR44.5 Wong provides England with the breakthrough! Jones standing up to the stumps snaffles the catch. Fullish, threatens to angle in from around the wicket, but nips away in the channel. Mandhana pushes away from the body and ends up nicking it behind. Sharp take from the keeper. No hundred for Mandhana 190/41.2 Filer rips one off the outside edge! Perfect delivery, jagging back at Verma, who is trying to defend but can only manage a nick to the diving Jones! Pace, bounce and nibble coupled with a fiendish length. All killer, no filler from Filer. Two balls to make her mark on this historic Test match 4/16.6 bowled 'er, Bell produces a peach! Tough first spell for Bell but she hits back with a wicket from the final ball of her fourth over. Bhatia looks dumbfounded, but the ball went both ways - swinging in towards middle and leg, before hitting the seam and jiving across her closed bat face to hit off stump flush. Boshty 37/218.6 Wong has Jemimah chopping on! Finally some respite for the hosts. Full and wide of off - finishes wider than a set of stumps outside off - Jemimah has her feet pinned to the crease. She throws her hands at the ball and tries to force it through the off side. Instead, she ends up dragging the ball back onto her own stumps. Her knock has been cut short on 35 101/351.2 Maiden Test wicket for Villiers! She bowls Harman through the gate at the stroke of tea. Harmanpreet looks back to survey the damage. This is a delightful delivery from the debutant. Tossed up liberally outside off. The length is full, which lures Harmanpreet into a big drive but Villiers extracts bigger turn to burst through the defences of Harmanpreet. The ball clatters into middle stump 202/574.3 Heaved to Knight at midwicket! Deepti has to depart now. Tossed up on off stump, Deepti winds up and tries to clear midwicket. But does not get enough power or elevation to clear Knight. Gone for 57 off 87 balls 282/956.6 short ball, helped away... straight to fine leg! A cheap dismissal and England continue to work their way through this India line-up. Ghosh was looking to play a pull-cum-paddle through the leg side but only got it off the top edge. Well held by Wong low down as the ball died on her 229/667.5 sweeps and misses, hit on the front pad! Umpire Redfern shakes her head.... but England review. Was it in line? Quite a straight delivery, struck Rana just above the ankle as she played over the ball. The verdict from Hawk-Eye: impact in line, three reds! Decision overturned and Villiers has another 274/772.6 Ecclestone pins Satghare lbw! The finger goes up. Satghare, though, has a chat with Deepti and asks for a review. Pushed through, sliding into Satghare from left-arm around. Thumps the back pad after beating the inside edge. No bat involved, I think. Indeed, UltraEdge confirms it. Is it hitting leg stump? Just clipping will do for Eccelestone. Yes, that'll do and Satghare has to depart 279/874.5 England dismiss India for 285. Arm ball from Ecclestone. On a length, skids in from left-arm around to beat the inside edge and smash the stumps. Gaud sprints back to get ready with the new ball for India. Ecclestone leads England off the field and receives a rousing reception at Lord's 285/10Extras9 (b 5, lb 2, nb 1, w 1)TOTAL285 all out (74.5 Overs, RR: 3.8)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Shafali Verma, 1.2 ov), 2-37 (Yastika Bhatia, 6.6 ov), 3-101 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 18.6 ov), 4-190 (Smriti Mandhana, 44.5 ov), 5-202 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 51.2 ov), 6-229 (Richa Ghosh, 56.6 ov), 7-274 (Sneh Rana, 67.5 ov), 8-279 (Sayali Satghare, 72.6 ov), 9-282 (Deepti Sharma, 74.3 ov), 10-285 (Kranti Gaud, 74.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.4 Gaud strikes on the second morning after changing ends. On a length, angling in, and wobbling away outside off. Bouchier has a loose waft at the ball that moves away from her and hits the outside edge. Bhatia does the rest 32/23.6 full inswinger from Gaud at 109kph. This looks close and the finger goes up. Beaumont does not even bother to review. Sharp inswing for Gaud. Beats the inside edge as Beaumont plays around. The ball thumps the front pad below the knee-roll in line with middle. That's plumb. Beaumont knows it and she walks back. The tracker indicates it would have clipped leg stump. It looked a lot closer on first glance 9/114.1 Satghare turns Knight into an 'S' and wins an lbw appeal. Knight has a chat with NSB and calls for a review of the on-field out decision. Nice and full from Satghare. Angling in and then bending away to beat the outside edge and thump the front pad in line with middle. UltraEdge does not detect a spike. Umpire's call: clipping leg stump, which means Knight has to depart. India's quicks have been right on the money this morning 32/341.5 this looks much closer and umpire Redfern raises her finger! NSB challenges the on-field out decision. Much fuller and bends back in to beat the inside edge. Thumps the pad in line with middle. NSB prods and does not make contact with the ball. Nothing on UltraEdge. Ball-tracking indicates that it would crash into middle. Ball-tracking returns three reds 142/617.4 Gaud knocks out the off stump and lets out a roar! Terrific bowling from India. Perfectly pitched delivery. Full, slanting in and then swinging away to beat the outside edge and rip out the off stump. Capsey departs for 9 47/437.4 inside-edge, pops to short leg! India claim their fourth in the session to end a crucial stand! Jones was neither forward nor back as the ball gripped and bounced on an off-stump line, with just enough turn into the body to snick the inside-edge, and the easiest looping chance to Ghosh! 131/550.2 Villiers has been bowled through the gate! Rana gives Villiers a taste of her own medicine. Liberally tossed up outside off, grips, turns and dips. Bursts through the defences of Villiers and crashes into middle and leg. Rana has been getting more purchase from this pitch than Deepti 159/849.2 Ecclestone plays back to this full delivery that moves away from her and nicks it behind. Four and out! Fullish, angling in from over the wicket and nips away in the channel. Ecclestone has another big drive at it. She chucks her hands at the ball and can't control this. She edges it behind to Bhatia 159/755.2 five for Gaud in thrilling fashion! It's a wider line outside off, Bell throws her hands through the drive... the ball is parried in front of her throat by Sneh Rana, Tavare-to-Miller style at the MCG in 1982, as Verma at first slip watches the rebound loop over second slip's shoulder, and dives forward to grab in her fingertips! 162/959.1 plumb lbw! That skids on on an off-stump line, Filer is right back on her stumps and misses it entirely. Her bat came down at an angle, as the ball thudded into her back knee. It's umpire's call on impact, smashing off stump. The review was optimistic but England had to use it. All out for 170! 170/10Extras3 (lb 1, nb 2)TOTAL170 all out (59.1 Overs, RR: 2.87)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Tammy Beaumont, 3.6 ov), 2-32 (Maia Bouchier, 13.4 ov), 3-32 (Heather Knight, 14.1 ov), 4-47 (Alice Capsey, 17.4 ov), 5-131 (Amy Jones, 37.4 ov), 6-142 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 41.5 ov), 7-159 (Sophie Ecclestone, 49.2 ov), 8-159 (Mady Villiers, 50.2 ov), 9-162 (Lauren Bell, 55.2 ov), 10-170 (Lauren Filer, 59.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR44.4 Appeal! And given! Length ball pitching outside leg stump, and Mandhana attempts a flick. It takes a deflection off the bat and then the thigh, and Amy Jones dives to her right to take a one-hander just millimetres from the ground. The umpires, though, ask Mandhana to wait once as they want to go upstairs. Jones didn't look too confident after taking the catch, but the TV umpire feels her fingers were indeed under the ball, so it's a sharp catch in the end and Bell gets an early wicket this morning. Mandhana goes for 70. 161/220.4 Caught at mid-on! Lamb, the sub fielder, snaffles it. Tossed up, full and drifting into middle and leg, Shafali can't quite get underneath the length and can't get enough elevation either to clear Lamb. Finally some respite for England 88/172.2 in the air for a long time... and taken at extra cover! Bhatia departs after a historic 113. She gets a few congratulatory messages from the England fielders before making her way back. Tried to go over the off side after coming down the track but ended up getting no distance, only the elevation. 287/648.3 bowled her! Applause rings around the ground as Bell rattles Rodrigues' stumps. A scrambled-seam delivery that's pushed full just outside off. Rodrigues gets forward to meet it for a drive, but the ball hits the deck, jags right in, and rattles the middle of off stump. 177/355.5 plays back and hit in front! Not given by Anna Harris but England review. Height in question? Looked pretty adjacent to the stumps as she played around the ball in defence. Struck just above the knee roll, and she was up on her toes - but there's not that much bounce at Lord's, and it's hitting middle four fifths of the way up! Decision overturned and England have bagged their third of the session 212/468.4 Ecclestone strikes! overpitched ball outside off and turning in. Deepti goes low for a sweep but misses the connection. Hits her on the back leg, and the umpire raises her finger for the lbw. Deepti reviews, and although the impact was umpire's call on the body, this is crashing into off stump. So England get the wicket, India retain the review. India's first-innings half-centurion falls for 10 264/576.6 Ecclestone has five - her fourth five-for in Tests and she'll also get a spot on the Lord's honours board! This is a length ball on a stump-to-stump line that just skids through. Rana fails to connect while trying an uncomfortable flick, and India are seven down. The ball may have stayed a touch low 299/7Extras27 (b 23, lb 2, w 2)TOTAL341/7d (86.3 Overs, RR: 3.94)Fall of wickets: 1-88 (Shafali Verma, 20.4 ov), 2-161 (Smriti Mandhana, 44.4 ov), 3-177 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 48.3 ov), 4-212 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 55.5 ov), 5-264 (Deepti Sharma, 68.4 ov), 6-287 (Yastika Bhatia, 72.2 ov), 7-299 (Sneh Rana, 76.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.2 hooping inswinger, pinned to the windshield! Bouchier consults with Knight but won't review. Lovely line from Satghare, torpedoes Bouchier on the shin and up goes the finger. Reckon that was missing off, missing leg, poleaxing middle. Actually, it swung so far, Hawk-Eye has it smashing leg. But either way, brilliant start for India with the new ball 6/21.1 Oh My Gauuuuuud... knocks her over first ball! Beaumont hangs her head and then turns on her heel. The India players line up to give her a guard of honour, which is a nice touch. Gaud spoils the party with a beauty, nipping up the slope to hit the top of off stump. Bit loose in defence from Beaumont, but she might have expected a slightly gentler start! Instead, she gets a first-ball duck to draw the curtain on a famous England career 2/113.3 India are appealing - everyone is confused! The umpires are congregating... and it's been given out! A length ball on middle, and the attempted defensive shot took a bat-pad inside-edge straight to Richa Ghosh under the helmet at short leg. Richa also threw down the stumps at Knight's end, but because the catch is clean we don't check for the snap run-out attempt. The Indians realise it is Knight who is out, so they hare across to give her a guard of honour. She walks back for 13 to a standing ovation at Lord's. England's most-capped women's player retires from internationals, a long walk up to the pavillion. 34/49.3 out next ball! No TV umpire required for this one! Sneh Rana goes full outside off. Sciver-Brunt takes a big stride forward and attempts a sweep across the line. The ball turns in beautifully, and crashes into off stump. 23/319.3 peach! Satghare beams a smile as the talented Capsey is totally outfoxed. A full ball on a fifth-stump line but moves in sharply after pitching. Capsey was off-balance for the drive that she attempted, and the gap between bat and body was just about enough to give Satghare the opening 59/542.6 oh no... slapped firmly, but straight to midwicket! Comfortable catch for Verma and India strike in the third over of the day. It was a bit of a drag-down from Rana, but that meant Jones lost her balance as she went back to pull. Not in control and it loops straight to the fielder on the edge of the square. She slumps on her bat, barely able to believe she's given it away after all the hard work 135/736.6 Velcro hands at silly mid-off! Ghosh clings on to a full-blooded drive to break the resistance! Villiers can barely believe it, but she has to drag herself from the crease. She nailed the shot, but Ghosh made sure she stayed low, hands soft. No keeping gloves on today, but the ball just melted into her paws at knee height. She wrings out the fingers briefly afterwards, as if to say, 'That stung!' Blinder of a reflex catch, and India move closer to a famous victory 126/652.5 no need to review if you hit the pegs! Wong plays for turn and is bowled neck and crop! Deepti is rushed by her team-mates, she does the trick with just her fifth ball. Zipped down on off stump, and going on with the arm to produce the death rattle.
