इंग्लैंड vs भारत, पहला टी20, काउंटी ग़्राउंड, केम्स्फोर्ड, 28 May 2026 - लाइव कमेंट्री

Hard length and angling into the leg side, Heather Knight fails to glance it away as the ball goes off her thigh pad towards short fine. A leg bye taken.

2 runs.

Sharp inward shape, from middle to leg, Jones tickles the full ball but straight to short fine leg.

BEATEN ALL ENDS UP! Was there an edge? Short of a good length around off, and it nips back in sharply off the surface. Jones is cut in half completely. Looks to punch it straight but the inside edge is beaten. The ball whistles over the off stump through to the keeper who fails to collect it to her left.

An inswinger on a fuller length, Jones flicks off the pads to deep square leg for a single.

Wide on off, full in length. Knight leans across and eases it to the cover-point fielder.

Dishes out a good length ball around off. Knight walks down the track and defends it to the bowler.

Full in length and an inswinger at the pads. Knight gets an inside edge on the flick and it deflects off the front pad towards backward square leg for a single. Excellent over from Reddy. Just a couple of singles off it.

Overpitched on off, Capsey drives off the front foot to the cover-point fielder.

FOUR! Absolutely crunched! Slightly short and outside off. Alice Capsey transfers her weight on the back foot and scythes it away, through point, and beats the deep backward point fielder to her right for a boundary.

Short and jagging back in, on middle. Alice Capsey advances a bit and pulls it to deep square leg for a single.

 FOUR! Plays it through the gap! Short of a good length, with a lot of width on offer. Amy gets the chance to free her arms, gets on top of the bounce, and smashes it well to the left of the point fielder for a boundary.

Outside off again, short in length. Jones hangs back and cuts it to deep point for a single.

 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Wicket number 2 for Kranti and Capsey is absolutely gutted. Not a wicket-taking delivery by any means as this is too short and too wide outside off. Alice Capsey presses back and looks to square cut it over point, but the ball kicks up a bit and takes a feather of the outside edge. Goes through to the keeper where Yastika Bhatia grabs it to her right very comfortably. England are 37/2, needing 152 runs.

Full and swinging away, outside off. Jones gets a good stride across and creams it to the right of the deep point fielder for a coupl of runs.

Back of a length, shaping away gently, on top of off. Jones presses in front and blocks it down the pitch.

A low full toss, on off, swinging away. Amy Jones takes it on the full and heaves it off the inner half. It goes on the bounce to Shafali Verma at mid on, who picks and throws in a motion to the bowling end, but misses her shy. Had the throw hit, Capsey would have been in trouble as she is forced to dive back to retreat after being sent back by her partner.

Touch full and nipping away from off, Amy tries to tuck it to the leg side, but closes the bat face early and a leading edge is found. The ball bounces in front of backward point.

 FOUR! Wonderful shot! A half volley from Nandni, on off. Amy Jones smashes it straight down the ground and a bit uppishly. Nandni Sharma sticks her right hand out on the follow-through to pluck it, but the ball clips her fingertips and runs away to the fence for a boundary.

A lot fuller, on the pads. Jones whips it aerially between deep square leg and deep mid-wicket for a cuple of runs.

Just a hint of away shape, good length, on top of off. Capsey hangs back and punches it to deep point for a single to get off the mark.

 BEATEN! An absolute beauty from Gaud. A full ball and it straightens up the pitch, in the channel of off. Sophia Dunkley completely misses reading the line and is squared up. Tries to block from the crease, but the ball keeps leaving her and beats the outside edge.

 SIX! That will make her feel a lot better! Fuller and around off. Sophia Dunkley collapses her back leg and it almost kisses the floor. She walks out of the crease and lofts it over mid off for a clean six.

Way too short and outside off, Dunkley lets it be.

OUT! MISTIMED AND GONE! Gaud strikes big and India have their first breakthrough. Hard length around the fourth stump, and Dunkley walks down the track. Flat bats it but only finds the splice. Shafali moves to her right from mid off and takes a good running catch with both hands. Dunkley was just getting started but her stay is cut short and she frustratingly walks back to the dugout. England are 18/1, chasing 189.

Touch full and curving in and around middle. Jones covers the line and clips it to deep backward square leg for a single.

On the money straightaway! In-angler on a fuller length. Sophia Dunkley drops the bat down in time and carves it back to the bowler.

WIDE! Curves down the leg stump line, on a length. Dunkley misses the flick. Wide called.

EDGED AND FOUR! Oh, dear. Dunkley flirts with danger. Swings in from outside off, on a fuller length. Sophia Dunkley tries to block it away, but gets a thick inside edge and the ball just whistles past the stump, beating the keeper to her left and races to the deep fine leg fence.

Nice and full, around off, Dunkley strides across and taps it to point.

 Swing and a miss! Full in length, outside the off pole. It lands and straightens off the pitch, beating Dunkley's desperately attempted lofted shot over the off side. The ball zips past the outside edge by a kitten-whisker.

Full and curving back onto the pads. Sophia Dunkley flicks it to the right of mid-wicket. Shafali Verma runs a bit and dives to take the sting out of the ball, parrying it to the deep for a couple of runs.

 FOUR! Gets it away! On a good length, just outside off. Sophia Dunkley presses back and cuts it to the left of the diving backward point fielder for a boundary. 11 runs from the first over. England need 178 runs from 114 balls.
