So that's it from the comm box from me, Anurag, and my partners, Dasgupta and Vikhyat. We had a thriller today so don't forget to join us for the decider on Wednesday. Till then, take care, Goodbye!!!
The Player of the Match award goes to Deepti Sharma.
Harmanpreet Kaur: Great effort by the whole team, everybody were on their toes. We got a very good start but got stuck in the middle overs. I wanna give credit to the bowlers, they know their field placements very well and it was an excellent outing for the fielders, they brought us back in the game. Bubble thing is very hard for everyone, the team management has been very supportive and helped us get through this time.
Heather Knight: To be honest, we were very good for the major portion of the game. It was one of the days, I couldn't get back in the crease. I think we have a strong batting lineup, but we should be winning these kinds of matches. We can't lose the series here but credit to India, they played very well.
As usual, the Indian spinners were tight with their line and Deepti Sharma came into the attack and completely changed the course of the game. She along with Poonam Yadav contained the English lower-middle order at the death. An excellent outing by India on the field as well, producing three run-outs which proved to be the game-changer. In the end, England kept losing wickets at regular intervals and the lower-order failed to get them past this small total.
England started the run chase with positive intent taking upon the new ball bowlers until Wyatt threw her wicket away in the third over. The star all-rounder soon followed her back to the dugout after a horrible run-out. Knight along with Tammy kept things going for England and they were cruising through. They kept taking the singles and doubles which frustrated the Indian skipper. The second 50-run stand of the match was brought by these two experienced campaigners in the 11th over and the game was almost done and dusted halfway through the innings. Indian pacers were a bit disappointing as both of them were quite expensive.
India put to bat first end their first innings on 148, probably falling 15-20 runs short after the kind start Shafali Verma gave them with her 48. Both the opener after a firing start fell quickly after the 50-run stand. The Indian skipper promoted herself and looked good for her 31, but that doesn't seem to have worked well for Deepti, who crawled her way to 24 off 27 while searching for boundaries. India kept throwing the momentum away and in the end, they will be disappointed by the finish to the innings.
That's it, the match has ended and this has been a terrific performance by this Indian team. They have literally snatched the victory from the jaws of defeat. India win the game by 8 runs and level the 3-match series 1-1.

19.6 S Rana to S Glenn
1 An outstanding performance by India here. Sneh bowls at a hard length here and Glenn slogs this towards deep mid wicket just for a single.
19.5 S Rana to S Ecclestone
1 Slower through the air. Bowls a length delivery in the middle to Sophie who dances down the track and works this down the ground for a single.
Sneh Rana was struck really hard in her follow-through. She looks in a lot of pain. The physio is out to treat her. The magic spray is out now.
19.4 S Rana to S Ecclestone
0 Fires in a full delivery at the stumps. Sophie drills this straight back at the bowler who drops a tough chance. Nonetheless, it's a dot delivery. Two sixes required for England now to win the game.
19.3 S Rana to S Glenn
1lb Glenn charges and misses the back of a length delivery but they take a single leg byes. 11 from 3 now.
Decision sent to the third umpire for a run-out. Looks safe from the naked eye. Waiting for the third umpire's decision. The bat is on the line when the bails are dislodged. And the line belongs to the umpire. Mady Villiers walks back to the pavilion.
19.2 S Rana to S Ecclestone
W Fires in a full delivery onto the stumps. Sophie charges and taps this down the ground for a single. She wanted one more but sent back by Villiers. Richa Ghosh removes the bails in a flash and we may have a run out check. This looks very close and it might be a goner. The third umpire is taking a long hard look at this. She gives this as out and the crowd at Hove erupts.
19.1 S Rana to M Villiers
1 Shimmies down the track and flicks this length delivery to deep mid wicket just for a single.
