England coach Jon Lewis is slouched back in his chair with his sunglasses on by the boundary. I reckon he'll be relatively content with the performance so far. It is a very flat pitch and England have battled hard. They haven't been at their best, however.

I've been staring at Daniel's anagram for 10 minutes and I've still not got it. I haven't had much sleep in fairness.

Lauren Filer returns and immediately gets Sneh Rana in a tangle with a lively bouncer. The ball flies for four but that'll encourage more short stuff to be bowled to the all-rounder.

Not England's finest moment.

They have one review remaining now.

There's an enormous inside edge!

Sophie Ecclestone fancies an lbw review against Deepti Sharma but doesn't have much support. Was there an inside edge? I thought so but eventually Ecclestone persuades Heather Knight to go for it.

Deepti Sharma seems to have decided sweeping England's two spinners is the way to go. First she connects with one to take four but then she misses and the ball bounces up to hit her grille.

On comes the physio for a concussion test.

A couple of people have been in touch to say I was wrong with my Diotoir suggestion. Dan seems to have ironed things out.

I'm not embarrassed to say I used to have miniature versions of some of the robots.

India nab some bonus runs courtesy of four byes as Deepti Sharma swings and misses on the sweep.

The over-rate is improving with Sophie Ecclestone and Charlie Dean in tandem. That is usually bad news for a live-texter but after a 3:15am alarm I won't complain.

I am also sure my chocolate advent calendar has developed eyes and is staring at me. It's never too early, right?

It's only just dawned on me that we've got a bit of Charlie Dean v Deepti Sharma again here - the two players involved in that infamous run-out at Lord's.

It has all been very calm so far.

Sophie Ecclestone whirls that recently repaired shoulder over for another maiden. A quick finish of the lower order would help England protect their most precious asset too.

England are into the bowling all-rounders with Sneh Rana now at the crease. Charlie Dean gifts her an easy start with a ball on the hip that is clipped down to the boundary at fine leg.

Otherwise it's a good, wicket-taking over for Charlie Dean who has 1-49 from 13 overs.

Two runs from the over.

David Warner is out too. This has been a lovely period for the England fan.

England turn the screw with a maiden from Charlie Dean. A few quick wickets here and they're right back in it.

A quick Google tells me the robot in question was Nemesis. I remember, even as a kid, thinking being so flammable was quite the design flaw.

I wonder if Harmanpreet Kaur is fiery with rage in the dressing room. That was such a poor way to get out.

That has to go down as bad running for me. Yes, the bat got stuck in the ground a little but it was all too casual.

England hardly even appealed the direct hit from extra cover by Wyatt. Harmanpreet Kaur wasn't even attempting a run, instead just wandering out and back again.

You could hear one of the England players in a shocked voice saying "this might be out!" when they saw the replays on the big screen as the situation dawned on them.
