Highlights India vs England, 3rd T20I at Mumbai, Women's Tri-nation series, Full Cricket Score: Visitors win by 7 wickets

Danielle Wyatt, Player of the Match: This knock is quite special. It was nice to be there. Worked really hard for this. Yeah, I thought fitness was a big part to play such an innings. I am trying to keep going.

Danielle Wyatt is the Player of the Match

Heather Knight, England captain: What a game of cricket. Brilliant pitch for T20 cricket. Getting those wickets in middle was very pleasing. Danny started off really well, she plays smart cricket getting her second T20I hundred. As a bowling there hardly any margin for error. Smriti batted really well she came out positively.

Harmanpreet Kaur, India captain:  When we score 198 we were looking confident. We need to bowl dot balls. We just want to play aggressive cricket. Wicket was not easy to bat in the first innings. As a bowling unit we need to work on.  We are doing well and definitely work on our game.

Pretty convincing win for England, the veritable stroll in the park. It should be a tough loss to take for India, especially after the huge total they posted. Lots of questions for India to ponder over.

England win by 7-wickets!

England complete a record chase to win their second match of the tri-series. Harmanpreet Kaur and Co ran into a belligerent Danielle Wyatt, who simply took the game away from India. Good contribution by Beaumount.

India must be disappointed with their second loss of the series, especially after scoring close to 200 in the first innings.

After 18 overs, England 195/3 (Nat Sciver 10, Heather Knight 6)

The visiting side has made giant strides to get one shot away from India’s first innings score. Four more runs needed with 12 deliveries left in the innings.

FOUR! Short from Harmanpreet and Knight pivots to play the cross-batted swipe to mid wicket boundary.

FOUR! Low full toss on leg and Knight sweeps it well to earn four runs

After 17 overs, England 183/3 (Nat Sciver 4, )

India get rid of Wyatt after she struck a belligerent knock of 124. India will require a miracle to pull a victory from here on.

People are exiting the ground. Wyatt has been dismissed but its not stopping people from leaving. She has sealed the game, and India would hope for something really special to win.

OUT! End of an unbelivable innings. Fielders congratulate the departing batter as she makes her way back. Holes out to Veda at long on.

Wyatt c Veda Krishnamurthy b Deepti Sharma 124(64)

After 16 overs, England 174/2 (Danielle Wyatt 116, Nat Sciver 3)

Another expensive over for India. England require 25 off 24 balls. Wyatt has made India’s massive 198 look mighty small.

SIX! Wyatt gets low and smacks it over long-on. Match slipping away for India.

FOUR! Not good in the field from Mandhana as she is unable to stop the ball in the deep after having reached there in time. Wyatt gets four more.

After 15 overs, England 160/2 (Danielle Wyatt 104, Nat Sciver 1)

Eventful over that with Wyatt becoming the second women’s player with two T20I hundreds. Deepti gets the wicket of Beaumount but it has come at least couple of overs late.

OUT! India have a wicket finally! Beaumont is the one who walks back after she is caught by Mandhana in the deep.Attempted another big shot on the leg side but could only find deep mid-wicket.

T Beaumont c Mandhana b Deepti Sharma 35(23)

Hundred! Second ton for Wyatt in T20Is, jubilation for the batter and the England dug-out is on their feet appreaciating the effort. Wyatt gets to the landmark with another boundary down the ground.

What an innings this from Danielle Wyatt. She has effectively sealed it for England. Brilliant hundred, and a generous applause from Mumbai crowd.

After 14 overs, England 151/1 (Danielle Wyatt 97, Tammy Beaumount 35)

India turn to their strike bowler to turn the game around. Well, Goswami cannot get a wicket, but she has kept down to seven runs without conceding a boundary. Bowled in the right areas not giving the England batters room to play with, no looseners, but the batting duo still sneak seven runs, running couple of braces.

After 13 overs, England 144/1 (Danielle Wyatt 95, Tammy Beaumount 30)

England are galloping towards their target. 15 more runs leaked. India under immense pressure.

SIX! Veda in the deep seemed to get her hand but is unable to keep it in play. Replays show she was inside the boundary. Baumount flat bats it to long on boundary.

This game is slipping away from India. England came out all guns blazing, and unlike  India, there hasn’t been a lull in their innings. India need a wicket, desperately.

FOUR! Too short by Anuja, pulled away by Beaumount to deep mid wicket boundary.

Anuja Patil is brought back on.

After 12 overs, England 129/1 (Danielle Wyatt 93, Tammy Beaumount 19)

Deepti’s first ball of the over was smacked for boundary but the offie came back well to keep it down to seven.

FOUR! Straight back over bowler’s head. Simple as you like. Beaumount this time skips down the pitch and finds the straight boundary.

After 11 overs, England 122/1 (Danielle Wyatt 91, Tammy Beaumount 14)

Vastrakar taken to the cleaners once again! 15 runs of the over, including three boundaries. The asking rate has dropped significantly. Just a touch over 8.

FOUR! We have had some glorious shots that were played today. This is right among the top ones. Wyatt sees the length of the ball is on the shorter side, rocks back and slices it perfectly to get it through cover point.

FOUR! Beaumount rips into that one! Strikes it powerfully straight back with Vastrakar taking evasive action.

FOUR! Again that backing away on the leg side and playing on the offside. Wyatt opens the face of her bat and guides it past point.

After 10 overs, England 107/1 (Danielle Wyatt 82, Tammy Beaumount 9)

Wyatt is not only about scoring the fours and sixes. She has displayed great awareness in running twos wherever possible and continues to rotate the strike. End of another fruitful over for England.

FOUR! Wyatt jumps out of her crease, makes room for herself, in order to get the drive in the gap between mid off and cover, and executes it really well to earn four more runs.

After 9 overs, England 96/1 (Danielle Wyatt 72, Tammy Beaumount 8)

Wyatt has helped England in touching distance of 100 and we aren’t halfway into the innings. Taking the game away from India with every hit. Indian bowlers look clueless.

SIX! More flight from Poonam and Wyatt helps herself to more runs. Clean strike straight over bowler’s head for successive sixes!

SIX! Steps out to convert it into a full toss and pounds it down the ground for a huge six.

After 8 overs, England 80/1 (Danielle Wyatt 59, Tammy Beaumount 5)

The strike rate dips slighlty after the wicket but without much risk England still manage eight runs off the over. 119 runs needed off 72 balls

FOUR! Use of the feet to take the ball on the full and slams it to cow corner.

Harmanpreet Kaur comes into the attack

After 7 overs, England 72/1 (Danielle Wyatt 52, Tammy Beaumount 3)

Poonam Yadav introduced into the attack. Flighted loopy leggies on display. Good thing is that she is keeping it away from the stumps and not providing any pace for te batters to play with.

After 6 overs, England 67/1 (Danielle Wyatt 50, Tammy Beaumount 1)

Excellent from Wyatt as England take 67 off the first six. India need her wicket sooner rather than later. These T20 games slip very quickly.

FIFTY! Danielle Wyatt has slammed a half-century off just 24 balls. She has been outstanding right from the start, on the attack to spinners and pacers alike.

FOUR! Geez, that was hit hard! No stopping Wyatt. Makes room and slaps through covers.

OUT! Goswami strikes! Off she goes raising her hands high and wide in celebration! Smartly bowled by the veteran. Smith was trying to work it to fine leg boundary with the fielder inside the ring, only manages to play it onto her stumps.

B Smith b Goswami 15 (11)

Jhulan Goswami is brought back into the attack.

After 5 overs, England 59/0 (Danielle Wyatt 45, Brynoy Smith 13)

15 runs off the over. Still six balls remaining in the powerplay. India desperate for a wicket! Wyatt eyes to eclipse Mandhana’s fifty as she batting on 45 off 21 balls.

SIX! Terrific hitting this! Brilliant shot by Wyatt for the second six! The carnage continues as Wyatt hits it far away over long off fence.

FOUR! Slightly short by Pooja and Wyatt hangs back to glide it past short third. England race past 50.

Wyatt manipulated the field in the fourth over, bowler by Anuja Patil. At least three hits through long off, and Harmanpreet didn’t move Veda from long on. India need to read the game fast. England going at over 10 an over.

FOUR! That’s the eight boundary of the England innings and we’re into the 5th over. Wyatt hammers it straight.

After 4 overs, England 44/0 (Danielle Wyatt 31, Brynoy Smith 12)

Exactly the start England wanted. The English openers are looking to take full advantage of the fielding restrictions as they are scoring at a brisk pace of 11 runs per over.

FOUR! Boundaries don’t seem to cease as Wyatt once again makes room to tonk it down the ground to long off boundary.

FOUR! Hit hard past mid off for another boundary straight down the ground.

After 3 overs, England 32/0 (Danielle Wyatt 26, Brynoy Smith 5)

A mini-conference between the captain and few players before Vastrakar is given the ball to deliver the third bover. She starts off with a bouncer to Wyatt, which is called a wide. Perhaps it was more of a statement of intent by the bowler. Wyatt gets to the other end with a single off the third ball. Brynoy smith after playing and missing couple of deliveries gets a good connection of the final ball to collect a boundary.

FOUR! Smith shuffles to the offside and takes full toll of the length ball bowled by Vastrakar to hit it to long on fence.

Excellent start from England. They seem to have a measure of this steep chase. 26 from first two overs. India need a wicket here.

Pooja Vastrakar into the attack.

After 2 overs, England 26/0 (Danielle Wyatt 25, Brynoy Smith 1)

Another excellent over for England with Wyatt doing the damage. Anuja Patil pulled out before bowling once, it seems as if to warn Bryony, who is taking an unfair advantage backing up too far at the non-striker’s end.

FOUR! In the airrr and over the field on the offside. Wyatt makes room for herself once and carves it for another boundary.

SIX! What a shot! Wyatt shuffles slightly to the leg side and plays it inside-out, against the spin over extra cover.

Anuja Patil, right arm spin, to bowl the second over for India

After 1 over, England 13/0 (Danielle Wyatt 13, Brynoy Smith 0)

Three boundaries and a single to finish, all Wyatt in that over. England are off and running. Goswami will need to come back stronger.

FOUR! This time over the point. Wyatt slice its purposely to get in the area she desired. Goswami under the pump.

FOUR! So Wyatt has made her intentions clear, in case the target wasn’t any indication. Not the best looking shot but still enough power in that slog to drag it past mid on fielder.

FOUR! Wyatt begins with a boundary. Targets the straight boundary striking it over the bowler’s head.

So India players are back on the field with Jhulan Goswami ready to bowl. England openers, Daniel Wyatt and Bryony Smith, have their task cut out. Here we go!

Indian batters providing a great platform for the bowlers

What a batting performance from Indians. Seniors, juniors, everyone stepped up for this big match against England. Top knocks from Raj and Mandhana at the start and then cameos from Harmanpreet and Vastrakar taking India to a strong total of 198 for 4. It will take a super effort from England batters to chase it down but keeping in mind the firepower in the lineup, no one can count them out yet. Stay in for the chase. We will back in some time.

So after an excellent start, India have ended their innings just short of 200. Good score but chaseable on this track, given the form English batsmen are in. In hindsight, Mithali could have played a bit more positively but 198 is a very very good total.

After 20 overs India 198/4  (Vastrakar 22, Anuja Patil 2)

If the 21-year-old Mandhana made the crowd jump in jubilation at the start of the innings, it was another 17-year-old in Vastrakar who ended the innings with a remarkable show. Four boundaries off the last over and more importantly 17 runs, it took India to 198 for 4 in 20 overs, India’s highest total in the format.

FOUR! Short and Vastrakar hits it to mid-wicket. That’s some statement from the 17-year-old

FOUR! Phew, Vastrakar is not stopping, fullish and she delivers another boundary.

FOUR! Another one from Vastrakar, almost a deja vu. Hit through the covers

FOUR! Vastrakar makes room and hits it over the cover region for four

After 19 overs India 181/4  (Vastrakar 5, Anuja Patil 2)

Mix over for India as Harmanpreet Kaur after hitting 3 boundaries was bowled by Farrant. India have crossed the 180 run-mark and next target should be 200.

OUT! And after back to back fours, the skipper loses the focus and is bowled. Harmanpreet Kaur b Farrant 30(22)

FOUR! Same delivery and same result, Harmanpreet puts it for 4 through the covers.

FOUR! Outside the off stump and Harmanpreet gives it the treatment it deserves, through the covers for four.

FOUR! On the legs and Harmanpreet picks the fine leg region to hit for a boundary.

After 18 overs India 166/3  (Vastrakar 5, Harmanpreet Kaur 18)

India showing some urgency now with last few overs resulting in wickets and no boundaries. Harmanpreet with a huge six in the over made a statement that she is looking to finish the innings on a high.

Just 24 from last 4 overs. India need to up the ante here. Good comeback from England.

SIX! Harmanpreet goes low and sweeps it for a huge six to mid-wicket. That’s what India needed right now.

After 17 overs India 153/3 (Vastrakar 0, Harmanpreet Kaur 10)

Ecclestone bowls her last over and she has kept things tight again. Veda trying to make room lost her wicket to her, getting bowled. A job well done  by Ecclestone as she finishes with 1 for 29.

OUT! Veda has been bowled by Ecclestone. Quicker delivery and no room whatsoever but Veda tried to make some and lost the idea of stumps. She goes for 3. Veda Krishnamurthy b Ecclestone 3(4)

Ecclestone to complete her quota of 4 overs.

After 16 overs India 147/2  (Veda 2, Harmanpreet Kaur 7)

Gunn is bowling slow through the air, trying to take all the pace away. Ideal plan in these conditions. Boundaries have dried up now and if the visitors are able to restrict India below 180, it will be huge motivational boost for them when they come out to bat.

Mithali was visibly tiring and she holes out to long on. Veda Krishnamurthy needs to make it count today. Run rate still over 9 and India would look to go berserk in these last few overs.

After 15 overs India 142/2  (Veda 0, Harmanpreet Kaur 4)

India lose another big wicket in form of Mithali Raj. India have two new batters at the crease now and both power hitters. Veda and Kaur would like to not give away the momentum to England in the last 5 overs.

OUT! Mithali tries to go big but has been caught on the long-on region by Farrant off the bowling of Gunn. Just what England hoped for.  Mithali c Gunn b Farrant 53(43)

FIFTY! That’s a brilliant fifty from Raj, a great knock. She has looked to attack from the ball one and the plan has worked for her so far. India would like her to continue till the end.

After 14 overs India 135/1  (Mithali Raj 48, Harmanpreet Kaur 2)

Just 5 from the over from Ecclestone. Brilliant stuff keeping the state of the game in mind. This is what captain Knight wanted. One wicket and the run-rate has been slowed down. Raj nearing fifty. Just 2 away.

After 13 overs India 130/1  (Mithali Raj 46, Harmanpreet Kaur 1)

Finally a wicket for England in this over and an important one too in form of Mandhana who was going great guns. If they get Raj now, there will be two new batters at the crease and from thereon they can snatch the momentum away from India.

That’s the wicket they wanted. Mandhana departs after an excellent 76, 60 of which came in boundaries. She walks back to a standing ovation. What entertainment! Mithali needs to kick on from here.

OUT! And that’s it from Mandhana. She tries to steer it past through the point but plays an uppish shot and it travels straight to Beaumont at that position. 
Mandhana c Beaumont b Sciver 76(40)

FOUR! On the legs and Mandhana goes low, sweeps it to backward square leg

FOUR! Wow. Mithali is getting better and better with every stroke. Short ball and she heaves it to midwicket.

After 12 overs India 119/0  (Mithali Raj 42, Smriti Mandhana 72)

England bowlers looking out of sorts. No discipline whatsoever. Mithal and Mandhana continue to hit 2 fours per over and there seems to be no plan to stop them.

FOUR! And this time it is Mandhana hitting thee flighted delivery for four

FOUR! That’s cut between square leg and backward point for a four

India going at an excellent rate here. 100 comes up in just the 11th over. 68 of them in boundaries.

After 11 overs India 108/0  (Mithali Raj 36, Smriti Mandhana 67)

England are losing the grip in this innings. The Mandhana show is going strong. She managed to hit 2 fours again in this over. Important for her to make it big now and not throw it away.

DROPPED! Raj tries to hit the fullish delivery over the cover but almost gave a catch to the fielder.

FOUR! This time to the long-on region. Absolute carnage from Mandhana.

FOUR! And hundred up for India as well. It wa s a gift by Wyatt to Mandhana she she sweeps it past square leg for a boundary.

After 10 overs India 96/0  (Mithali Raj 35, Smriti Mandhana 56)
 
Knight started off with a wide but recovered well, giving just 7 runs off the next few balls. However, England cannot be relaxed trying to dry the boundaries only. They need some inspiration coming from somewhere.

After 9 overs India 88/0  (Mithali Raj 31, Smriti Mandhana 53)
 
Gunn into the attack and a chance of wicket only on the first ball as Mandhana, at non-striker’s end, looked for a run when Raj tapped the ball to mid wicket. Lucky as she just managed to cross the line. Nevertheless good over for India as they hit 3 fours in the over.

FOUR! That is hit by Raj to extra cover. Indian openers in ominous form.

Mandhana carries on her fine form. Se hit a fluent fifty against Australia and here she is with another half-century. Needs to carry on and make a big one. She loves driving through the line and there have been ample strokes bisecting the cover region in this innings.

Brilliant innings from Mandhana. Gets to her second consecutive fifty in some style and gets a standing ovation from the crowd. She is looking ominous.

FOUR! Mandhana lifts it over the cover region for a four and that’s fifty for her. What a way to bring it up.

FOUR! Short ball and Mithali heaves it to mid-wicket. Super shot.

After 8 overs India 74/0  (Mithali Raj 22, Smriti Mandhana 48)
 
Seven runs from the over for India but England cannot be relaxed. They need either of the two batters, preferably Mandhana as she is looking to it every ball for a boundary or a six.

Four!  Tossed up on middle and leg, Mithali goes down and sweeps it away behind square on the leg-side.

After 7 overs India 68/0  (Mithali Raj 16, Smriti Mandhana 47)

Another superb over for India as Eccelstone now hit for 2 fours and 1 six. This is getting out of hands for England. They need Mandhana and someone has to do the magic with the ball.

Poor line there from Natalie Sciver. She had a deep point and a short third man, and she ends up bowling within the stumps, first too full and then too short. Deep point comes in and she bowls on Mandhana’s legs, who collects another four. Three boundaries in that over as India end Powerplay on a high.

Four! Mandhana looking to sweep it, misses the ball but it takes the inside edge for four behind the wicketkeeper.

SIX! Flighted delivery and Mandhana comes out and hits it over the mid-off region for a huge one.

Four! Mandhana looks in great touch as she gets her another boundary for her, opens the blade and places it for to third man,.

After 6 overs India 52/0  (Mithali Raj 15, Smriti Mandhana 33)

Sciver, bad first over from her as she leaks 3 boundaries. Mandhana looking in great touch. Fifty up for India in this over.

FOUR! This time on the legs by Sciver and Mandhana hits it to cow corner for a boundary.

FOUR! Loose delivery, too short in length and Mandhana, on backfoot, puts it four to the same region.

FOUR! Length ball and Mandhana comes on front foot to hit a cross-batted shot for four to mid-wicket.

First the two boundaries in this previous and India have got a move on. Sensible batting from the experienced Mithali, plays out the over comfortably after stroking a brace of fours.

Now Mandhana… easily the most convincing shot of the match so far. Mandhana tonking Katie George over covers for a six. She already had a four in the same direction earlier in the over. Third man comes in and Mandhana squeezes the ball past the lone slip – that was placed just for this ball – for another four. Lovely batting.

Natalie Sciver, right-arm medium, comes into the attack

After 5 overs India 39/0  (Mithali Raj 14, Smriti Mandhana 21)

Ecclestone bowling wicket to wicket. keeping tight, cramping Raj and Mandhan for room. That’s what England are looking to do. Giving no pace to Indians. Just 3 runs from the over.

Sophie Ecclestone, left-arm orthodox, comes into the attack

After 4 overs India 36/0  (Mithali Raj 12, Smriti Mandhana 20)

Katie continues, undisciplined bowling from England. Two wides and then too full in length, helping Mandhana to open her arms. Three boundaries in the over from her willow has taken pressure away from Indians.

FOUR! Another fullish delivery and Mandhana steers it to third man boundary.

SIX! The next ball goes for a huge six as Katie pitches it full and outside off. Great start this from her.

FOUR! Full delivery and Mandhana takes full advantage as well, hitting it over the mid-off, down the ground for a boundary.

After 3 overs India 16/0  (Mithali Raj 11, Smriti Mandhana 3)

Farrant continues, and she has been hit for 2 boundaries in this over by Mithali Raj. Much-needed for India as they got off to a slow start in the first 2 overs of the innings. 8 from the over.

Decent turnout here. People are trooping in as India make a circumspect start. Mithali is clearly the crowd favourite.

FOUR! And this time Mithali puts heaves it to mid-wicket boundary for four. Did not time well but fetcher her four runs.

FOUR! Raj puts one to the covers. It was always coming as there were no boundaries in the first 2 overs. Typical Mithali flair.

After 2 overs India 8/0  (Mithali Raj 3, Smriti Mandhana 3)

Katie George, left arm medium, comes into the attack from the other end  and straightaway Mandhana looks to hit her through the covers, the second ball taking a slight edge and almost carried to third man fielder. A dangerous shot at the start of the innings, we must say. Two edges in fact in the same over. 6 runs from the over.

After 1 over India 2/0  (Mithali Raj 1, Smriti Mandhana 1)

Tash Farrant, left arm medium, comes from over the wicket to Mithali. She tried to take the ball away from Raj but India’s ODI captain tapped it to short third-man for a single, opening the account for India. Mandhana missed a wayward wide down the leg side but managed 1 run. 2 runs from the over.

Heather Knight, England captain: We had a perfect game against Australia. That’s what we want, everyone must fight for places. Excited for the competition.

Toss Update

England captain has won the toss and the visitors will be bowling first.

Hello and welcome to live coverage of the 3rd T20I of the Women’s T20I Tri-series between India and England. The hosts having lost the 1st T20I against Australia would like to make a strong comeback in the series. They looked below average in the ODI series and even in the first T20I, there was not much improvement either with the bat or ball. England, on the other hand, crushed Australia in their first game of the tri-series, making it more obvious that it is not going to be too easy for the hosts to register their first win. It is Sunday as well and expect the crowd to fill in the stands.
