Just outside off, full in length. Ecclestone gets forward and eases it to backward point with soft hands.

Decent turn and bounce on a fuller length, on middle and leg. Sophie defends it with a straight bat.

OUT! TIMBER! That's it, it is all over. What a famous win at an iconic venue, and India Women have beaten England Women by 270 runs. Sneh Rana offers a lot of flight, tossing the ball a bit full and outside off. Sophie Ecclestone is sucked into the drive but the ball dips and turns back in a long way. The ball goes through the huge gap between bat and pad and smashes into the stumps. Rana ends with a four-fer, in what has been a stellar bowling display from her and her teammates.

 FIFTY FOR SOPHIE ECCLESTONE! That's an impressive knock from her. A fighting inning which gets her to her maiden Test fifty! Short and on off, turning in. Sophie Ecclestone rushes on the back foot and steers it wide of point for a single. A huge applause for Ecclestone from the Lord's crowd and also her teammates who clap from the English balcony. She has displayed patience and has given a very good account of herself with the bat.

Length ball outside off, Filer defends the ball to the off side off.

 Just past the edge! Holds the line, full outside off. Filer plays for the turn to defence, but the ball zips past the outside edge.

FOUR! After being on nought for 20 balls, Filer finally opens her account. Into the slot, full and around off. Lauren Filer gets to the pitch of the ball and drills it down the ground through mid on for a boundary.

Big appeal again for LBW, but the finger stays down. Full and on the off stump, going with the arm. Filer offers no shot and the ball hits the front pad. Impact just might have been outside off here.

Touch short, outside off, goes straight. Filer leaves.

Tossed up nicely, full and outside off. Filer gets on the front foot and offers no shot.

CHANCE? Put down by Rodrigues? But the bowler and the keeper appeal for LBW. The umpire shakes her head. A lot of turn from middle, full in length. Lauren Filer leans on to defend, but it seems to have missed the inside edge and clips the front pad before lobbing to the right of the short leg fielder. Jemimah Rodrigues dives but cannot hold on to it.

Drops it on a length and gets it to turn into the batter with a bit of a bounce. Lauren Filer presses forward and offers no shot, letting the ball hit the flap of the front pad. It deflects back to the keeper. Another appeal in unison for LBW, but not given. India go upstairs for a review.

Would you believe it? The batters have run four runs and the bowler isn't too pleased.

Harmanpreet Kaur jogs after it and Ecclestone seizes the opportunity, coming back for the fourth run.

Full and straight, blocked off by Ecclestone.

Oh, the faintest of edges and the match goes on! Deepti Sharma tosses this one up on the stumps, turning it in. Sophie Ecclestone sits down to sweep but misses and gets rapped on the pads. There's a huge appeal, and after a bit of a think, the umpire does raise the finger. Ecclestone does review it and the third umpire finds a slight under-edge on the UltraEdge and the on-field decision is reversed to Not Out.

Floated fuller and on off, Ecclestone pushes it out to covers.

FOUR! Ecclestone wants to go down fighting. Tossed up, full and straight, Ecclestone clears the front leg and heaves it over the wide mid on fielder for a boundary. She moves on to 48 now.

Tossed up outside off, punched away sweetly but straight to the cover fielder.

A misfield and Ecclestone does take the single. Full toss on off, Ecclestone slaps it to square cover where Kranti Gaud fumbles and allows the single. Might actually be a blessing in disguise for India.

Oh, that's a lovely delivery. Fullish length, drifting it in towards off and middle. Lauren Filer looks to block it off the back foot but the ball sharply turns past the off stump.

Nice and full, angled into middle. Filer lunges right ahead and blocks it off.

Tossed up on middle, Ecclestone gets forward to defend.

Flatter and turning into the pads. Ecclestone stays back and flicks it just wide to the left of the short leg fielder and towards deep mid-wicket. She doesn't take the single.

Flighted ball outside off, inviting the drive. Ecclestone goes after it and hits it uppishly through the vacant square cover region, but denies the single yet again.

FOUR! The square cover fielder is brought in and Ecclestone manages to get it past her. Too full and outside off, driven firmly and past Sayali Satghare for a boundary.

Quicker and flatter, around off, Ecclestone stays back and dabs it wide of first slip for a single.

Loopy ball, full and wide outside off. Filer opts to play at it and dabs it really late to Shafali Verma at short backward point.

A bit more round-arm, angled into the stumps. Ecclestone pushes it out to extra cover.

A huge shout for LBW, but the umpire shakes her head. Sree Charani wants her first wicket at Lord's and Harmanpreet Kaur does go for the review. Charani bowls the arm-ball that doesn't quite angle in too much. She lands on a length on middle and it slides in. Sophie Ecclestone leans on to block but is beaten past the inside edge and wears it on the pads. The third umpire has a look and there's nothing on UltraEdge but Ball Tracking shows the wickets as umpire's call and it stays Not Out.

Oh, almost! Speared in, full and straight. Lauren Filer leans on and smothers it down the pitch as Richa Ghosh quickly dives to her right and pouches it brilliantly with her right hand. The ball had bounced, though.

Floated up, turning into the pads. Bell misses the tickle off the legs and the ball goes off the pads to short fine leg.

Fuller and straighter now, tossed up on middle, Lauren Bell blocks it off.

OUT! BOWLED! Deepti Sharma does it again, and India Women are on the brink of victory now. Lovely bit of flight offered by Deepti as she tossed it full and outside off. Lauren Bell is drawn forward to block, but the ball dips and Bell gets yorked. The ball ends up turning past the inside edge and goes on to knock over the off pole. Bell departs for a 10-ball duck, and England Women are 159/9.

How has that missed the off stump? Tossed up at a brisk pace, lands it full and just around off. Lauren Filer tries to defend with a straight bat but the ball holds its line and goes past the outside edge, but misses the off pole by an inch or two.

Full and flat, wide outside off. Ecclestone squeezes the drive towards deep cover and picks up a single. The Indians are happy to offer Sophie that easy single at the moment.

Half an appeal for LBW, but it is turned down. Seemed to be turning a bit much, and Harmanpreet Kaur decides against the review. Flighted up by Deepti Sharma, fuller and around off. Issy Wong is drawn forward to block but the ball turns past the inside edge and flicks the flap of the front pad.

OUT! TIMBER! Deepti Sharma does get the wicket, and India Women are just 2 wickets away from victory. Sharma changes this up by bowling it flatter and quicker. This one lands on middle and Issy Wong plays for the spin, but this is the one that holds its line. Wong gets pegged back and the ball breezes past the outside edge, castling into the stumps. England Women are 157/8 now.

Bowled from around the stumps, on middle and leg. Wong gets an inside edge behind square leg and picks up a single to get off the mark.

Sophie Ecclestone looks to drive but gets a thick outside edge to the right of the keeper. Bhatia is a bit wrong-footed as she starts moving to the leg side, and has to put in a dive, but the ball bursts through the right glove and rolls away into the deep third fence. 150 up for England Women as well.

A slight appeal for LBW, but nothing doing. Angles it onto the pads, and it nips down the slope on a fuller length. Issy Wong plays all around it and is beaten on the inside edge before being rapped on the front pad. Probably doing a lot to slide down the leg stump.

That's her 2nd Test fifty and both have come in this very Test match. Charles Dagnall informs on air that Jones is the only second woman batter to score two half-centuries in the same Test match, batting at number six or below, with the first being Australia's Jess Jonassen. On a length around off.

The ball sneaks past the inside edge and Nat is hit on the pads. A very confident appeal for LBW, and the umpire instantly raises her finger. But Nat Sciver-Brunt has opted for a review, challenging the on-field decision. If there's no bat involved, Sciver-Brunt will be in trouble. But height can be a factor here as well.
