india women tour of england, 2025

Ecclestone to Mandhana, out Caught by Nat Sciver-Brunt!! Mandhana departs but not before playing a stellar knock! The Trent Bridge crowd gives her a standing ovation! Mandhana uses her feet, makes some room and tries to smash it over extra cover but ends up mistiming it. Sciver-Brunt at extra cover moves back and takes it safely. Mandhana c Nat Sciver-Brunt b Ecclestone 112(62) [4s-15 6s-3]

Bell to Rodrigues, out Caught by Nat Sciver-Brunt!! Good catch from the English skipper! Slower back of a length ball wide outside off, Rodrigues flays at it. Sciver-Brunt gets low to her left and takes a sharp catch. Rodrigues c Nat Sciver-Brunt b Bell 0(2)

Bell to Richa Ghosh, out Caught by Sophia Dunkley!! Bell gets her second wicket! A slower full ball outside off, Richa Ghosh hits it over extra cover but doesn't have enough power behind the shot. Dunkley in the deep makes no mistake. Richa Ghosh c Sophia Dunkley b Bell 12(6) [4s-3]

Bell to Harleen Deol, out Caught by Em Arlott!! Harleen Deol holes out! A length ball outside off, Harleen Deol slogs it over mid-wicket but doesn't get the required elevation and distance. Arlott moves back to her right and takes a well-judged catch right in front of the ropes. A good knock from Harleen Deol nonetheless. Harleen Deol c Em Arlott b Bell 43(23) [4s-7]

Em Arlott to Shafali Verma, out Caught by Ecclestone!! Em Arlott strikes to give some respite to her side! Shafali Verma uses her feet and moves leg-side in the process. She actually gets too close to the pitch of the delivery and can't quite get underneath it. Mistimes her lofted stroke to mid-off where Ecclestone pouches it safely. Shafali Verma c Ecclestone b Em Arlott 20(22) [4s-3]

Shree Charani to Bell, out Caught by Rodrigues!! India have won big here. Jemimah takes a good catch near the deep mid fence. She was going back but did well to stay inside the ropes and take it. That was a tossed up delivery, Bell looked to slog sweep and got not much timing on it. The ball went up and the fielder in the deep managed to judge it to perfection. India win by 97 runs. The debutant has four. Bell c Rodrigues b Shree Charani 2(4)

Shree Charani to Nat Sciver-Brunt, out Caught by Richa Ghosh!! And India have ensured the writing is on the wall now. Ninth one down. The prolific scorer for England is gone as well. That was wider, flatter, Nat Sciver-Brunt looked to slap it and got it off the edge. The keeper did appeal but the umpire didn't give it out but the review was taken and India have managed to eke out another wicket. Shree Charani having a dream debut. Nat Sciver-Brunt c Richa Ghosh b Shree Charani 66(42) [4s-10]

Arundhati Reddy to Lauren Filer, out Caught by Richa Ghosh!! And another one gets out with Nat Sciver-Brunt being stranded at the other end. Was a length delivery, outside off, Lauren Filer looked to drive it away from her body but she got an edge on it and Richa up to the sticks pulled off a fine catch. Arundhati Reddy has her first wicket. The keeper appealled big after she pouched it and the umpire raised the finger. Lauren Filer c Richa Ghosh b Arundhati Reddy 2(4)

Shree Charani to Ecclestone, out Caught by Rodrigues!! Taken at deep mid. That was a tossed up delivery, Ecclestone sat down and looked to slog sweep. The fielder at deep mid took a few steps back and gobbled it up easily. Second wicket for debutant. She has been frugal and has been very much on the target. England lose another wicket thanks to the weight of the runs that they are chasing. 7th one down now. Ecclestone c Rodrigues b Shree Charani 1(4)

Radha Yadav to Em Arlott, out Caught by Mandhana!! Tossed up ball, Em Arlott looks to clip it and gets a leading edge for the ball to lob down to the fielder at cover. Closes the face of the blade a little too early and she has handed an easy catch. Radha Yadav is pumped up. She didn't like being belted for that sixer. India with their spinners are tightening the screws here on England. 6 down and runs needed are still in plenty. Em Arlott c Mandhana b Radha Yadav 12(10) [6s-1]

Shree Charani to Capsey, out Caught by Arundhati Reddy!! Another one bites the dust. That was a tossed up delivery, outside off, Capsey looked to go aerial and managed to get it off the edge. The ball flew down to the fielder at short third. Maiden wicket for Shree Charani in her debut game. She had bowled one over in the powerplay and had done well. Now gets a wicket. Capsey c Arundhati Reddy b Shree Charani 5(6)

Radha Yadav to Amy Jones, out Stumped!! Jones would be gutted that she didn't try to come back into the crease. That was a tossed up delivery and Amy Jones danced down to heave it on the off-side but missed the line of the delivery. The keeper failed to collect it clean as it hit her chest and then she gathered it clean to whip the bails off. But Jones never made an attempt to come back. She could have done better. India have their fourth though. Amy Jones st Richa Ghosh b Radha Yadav 1(2)

Deepti Sharma to Beaumont, out Bowled!! Deepti Sharma is a brilliant bowler. Fired it at the sticks from round the wicket and Beaumont danced down to hit but the ball slipped under her bat for her to be clean bowled. Third one down. Beaumont is gone for 10. Deepti Sharma has her second strike. India needed a wicket as the partnership was building nicely and they have the wicket. The powerplay has ended as well. Beaumont b Deepti Sharma 10(11) [4s-1]

Deepti Sharma to Wyatt-Hodge, out Caught by Harleen Deol!! India on top. The other opener falls as well. The batter wanted to tuck it, the ball skidded on and took the outer-edge. The fielder behind square on the off-side pouched an easy catch. Deol would have never missed that. India have got two on the bounce. Deepti Sharma gets the ball and strikes immediately. India have started off in an excellent manner. Wyatt-Hodge c Harleen Deol b Deepti Sharma 0(3)

Amanjot Kaur to Sophia Dunkley, out Caught by Richa Ghosh!! Short, wide, takes the edge and a good catch from the keeper to her right. That flew off the blade very quickly but Richa grabbed it out of thin air. India and Amanjot Kaur strike first. Sophia Dunkley goes out for 7. England would have loved a better start but that was a bad shot. The ball was there to be put away but the execution was undone by a hint of extra bounce I feel. Sophia Dunkley c Richa Ghosh b Amanjot Kaur 7(4) [4s-1]
