England Women require another 39 runs with 8 wickets and 48 balls remaining now. England are making it look easy. There have not been any risks taken - Indian spinners have also not tested them much. They have been bowling their usual line- good for saving runs but not wickets.

ENGLAND 74/2 after 12 overs

So we are back for the second innings...

Danielle Wyatt and Tammy Beaumont to open the batting. India start with spin in Deepti Sharma.

India were 89/2 in the 14th over. It seems 112 is at least 20-25 runs short of an ideal total here. India could take heart from the fact that England's batting line-up hasn't been in great form so far in this tournament.

OUT

Can India play the full 20 overs here? Ecclestone saw Reddy coming down and bowled it flatter and quicker. It beats her and Jones completes the stumping.

INDIA 112/9 after 19.2 overs

INDIA 94/5 after 15.5 overs

OUT

INDIA 93/4 after 15.1 overs

OUT

Just when the momentum was shifting- India were doing well in the over with a SIX from Harmanpreet and another boundary from Jemimah. But then they lost Jemimah to risky second- it was played over the diving cover point fielder, they decided to go for a second as but the diving Rodrigues can't beat the throw home from Beaumont.

INDIA 89/3 after 14 overs

FOUR and FOUR

Jemimah finally gets India a boundary and then hits another to end the 13th over on a postive note. 10 runs from the over.

INDIA 77/2 after 13 overs

Just 5 off the 11th over- India have not scored a boundary for 26 balls now.

INDIA 64/2 after 11 overs

Half of the innings is done- the run rate has fallen below 6 for the first time since the third over. India will look to Harmanpreet to score some runs here. England have done really well with the ball so far.

INDIA 59/2 after 10 overs

OUT

India lose another one. Bhatia (11) goes down the track and looks to hit over midwicket. However, it is a simple catch for Sciver.

Harmanpreet Kaur walks out to bat.

INDIA 53/2 after 8.4 overs

50 for India. England have pegged India back with Mandhana's wicket. Only 13 runs have from the last three overs. Jemimah (3 off 7) and Taniya Bhatia (11 off 18) will need to up the ante soon.

INDIA 50/1 after 8 overs

OUT

Oh! Big blow for India. Smriti Mandhana falls after a good start (34 off 23 balls). Ecclestone gets the last laugh. It was bowled a length outside off and Mandhana ends checking her shot. It pops back towards the bowler. 

INDIA 43/1 after 6 overs

Dropped

Mandhana gets a life... she drives away from her body and hits it uppishly to the left of Ecclestone, who dives to get both hands to the ball but puts it down.

FOUR

Another boundary by Mandhana- it was back of a length and Mandhana put it away nicely past backward point.

INDIA 18/0 after 3 overs

Good start by the England bowlers. Anya Shrubsole bowls a tight first over giving away just 3 runs. Mandhana takes a boundary off the next over from Nat Sciver.

INDIA 9/0 after 2 overs

Australia entered the World T20 final with a 71-run win over West Indies in the firsts semifinal earlier tonight. Who will join them in Sunday's final? The action in the second semifinal is about to begin.

Here we go.

Here are the two playing XIs

INDIA XI: Smriti Mandhana, Taniya Bhatia, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur, D Hemalatha, Dipti Sharma, Veda Krishnamurthy, Anuja Patil, R Yadav, A Reddy, Poonam Yadav

ENGLAND XI: T Beaumont, D Wyatt, Amy Jones, N Sciver, H Knight, L Winfield, S Dunkley, A Shrubsole, D Hazell, K Gordon, S Ecclestone

Toss

Harmanpreet Kaur wins the toss and India will bat first. India are sticking to the same XI that beat Australia in the last group stage game. Which means there is no Mithali Raj in the Indian playing XI.
