England v India: third and deciding women’s T20 cricket international – live
Key events
I’ve just disturbed Raf mid-forkful of white chocolate cheesecake in the Taunton media centre.
“We’ve watched two brilliant warm-up acts – we had drummers earlier and now we’ve got a group of dancers with Indian flags. Overcast and windy at the moment, but it’s been dry all afternoon.”
India XI
India make one change, seamer Kranti Gaud comes in for spinner Shreyanka Patil.
India: Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Yastika Bhatia, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Jemimah Rodrigues (wk), Richa Ghosh, Deepti Sharma, Arundhati Reddy, Kranti Gaud, Sree Charani, Nandni Sharma.
England XI
No changes from Bristol.
England: Sophia Dunkley, Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Amy Jones (wk), Alice Capsey, Heather Knight, Freya Kemp, Danielle Gibson, Charlie Dean (c), Sophie Ecclestone, Linsey Smith, Lauren Bell.
England win the toss and bowl!
It’s blowy out there. Charlie Dean looks pleased. “The win at Bristol was brilliant for us, a confidence builder, hopefully we can do more of the same today.” England play the same team.
Preamble
Roll up, roll up for the final game in this T20 World Cup warm-up series. Happily for the crowd, it’s a decider with meaning, England and India both have a point in the purse – and the winner will take the momentum with them into the tournament proper. They’ll toss the coin at 6pm BST, with play starting half an hour later. Pull up a chair and join us!
