India Women vs England Women 4th T20I Live Score Updates
India Women vs England Women 4th T20I Live Updates: Harmanpreet Kaur-led Indian cricket team will aim to seal the five-match T20I series when it takes on England Women in the fourth match at Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester. India started the series with a dominant 97-run victory at Nottingham before registering a 24-run win at Bristol. England Women then won the third game by 5 runs at London to keep the series alive. India will hope Smriti Mandhana, Shree Charani and Deepti Sharma to continue their impressive form in the series. The side will also hope Harmanpreet to take her innings deep. (Live Scorecard) India vs England, Women's 4th T20I Live - ! Welcome back with India's response with the bat. The umpires and the players are out in the middle. Tammy Beaumont leads her women out as the English players spread out to their respective fielding positions. Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma are the two Indian openers. The experienced Lauren Bell to get the chase underway with the ball. Smriti to face. Here we go... ! ... THE RUN CHASE ... ! Right then, in a do-or-die match for the hosts, they will have to bowl their skins out to stop India from claiming the series. Sure, it's an uphill task, but it is doable. We have seen the ball holding up on the pitch and that's where the likes of Sophie Ecclestone and Charlie Dean might come into play. However, with the consistent Indian top order, they will need to pick up early wickets and of course, a win will be guaranteed with all ten wickets taken. Back in a bit for the chase. Stay tuned. ! The Indians used spin to full effect, and the bowlers kept the stumps in play, not offering anything to free the arms. The pacers, too, employed those slower ones to make optimal use of the pitch, which kept the batters tied up. In that 7-15 overs phase, England only scored 56 runs while losing three wickets. Overall, the batters did get starts but couldn't hang in there till the end. Sophie Ecclestone and Issy Wong at last provided the finishing touches and helped England to get above a run-a-ball and something for the bowlers to fight for. ! England were not express by any means, and the batters struggled to find the right timing. However, they found a stable partnership between Alice Capsey and skipper Tammy Beaumont. The two worked hard to steer England out of trouble. The Indians, on the other hand, continued to be sharp in the field. Just when the partnership was blossoming into something meaningful, and as one brings two, England slipped further down from 68/2 to 70/4, losing Beaumont and Capsey in just a few deliveries. ! The start for the hosts was far from ideal as the opening woes for England resurfaced. The pitch was on the slower side and the ball was holding up a bit on the deck as well and Harmanpreet Kaur was quick to spot that and deployed the spin trio. Shree Charani provided the first breakthrough and continued her dream run in the series. England, in an attempt to make the most of the Powerplay, lost both their openers and crawled their way to 38/2. ! A late flourish for England in the last over, but still, in all fairness, way below par on the board. A job well done by the Indians with the ball as they used the conditions perfectly to keep the batters at bay. Just four overs went above the single digits for the hosts, and that pretty much sums up their day with the bat, in a must-win match. 19.6 6 Deepti Sharma to Issy Wong SIX! How is that for a finish? A long hop from Deepti, over leg stump, Issy Wong goes deep in the crease, makes room and muscles the pull in front of deep square leg for a six. 16 runs off the over and England Women finish with 126/7 on the board! 19.5 1 Deepti Sharma to Sophie Ecclestone Oh, that's a bit too cheeky! Bowled into the pitch and at the pads again, this time Ecclestone looks to reverse sweep and awkwardly plays it towards cover for a single. 19.4 6 Deepti Sharma to Sophie Ecclestone SIX! Oh, there you go! Sophie Ecclestone with a bit of fireworks on her home ground and in her 100th T20I game. Floated up around middle and leg, Ecclestone makes a bit of room and swings it away, with the wind and over deepmid-wicket for a biggie. 19.3 1 Deepti Sharma to Issy Wong Shortish length on middle, pulled away down to wide long on for one more. 19.2 1 Deepti Sharma to Sophie Ecclestone Full and on leg, Ecclestone picks it up nd sweeps it flat and on the bounce to Amanjot Kaur at deep backward square leg. Just another single. 19.1 1 Deepti Sharma to Issy Wong Slow and short, angled into leg, Wong backs away and taps it straight to cover but manages to scamper through for a single. ! Deepti Sharma (3-0-13-1) to bowl the final over then. 18.6 4 Amanjot Kaur to Sophie Ecclestone FOUR! A much-needed boundary, but still just 5 off the over. Fuller in length, angling into the pads, Ecclestone hangs back and clips it away over square leg and picks the huge gap between deep mid-wicket and deep backward square leg to perfection. 18.5 0 Amanjot Kaur to Sophie Ecclestone Oh, that will leave a mark! Shorter in length and over middle, Sophie Ecclestone looks to swivel and pull but misses and gets hit on the mid riff. 18.4 1 Amanjot Kaur to Issy Wong A low full toss, on the pads, flicked away through backward square leg for a single. 18.3 0 Amanjot Kaur to Issy Wong A hat-trick of dots! Fractionally short and wide, cut away in front of square and just short of covers where the fielder makes a half stop. Ecclestone again denies the single. 18.2 0 Amanjot Kaur to Issy Wong Bowled into the pitch and outside off, smacked away to extra cover and Wong again wants the single which isn't there. 18.1 0 Amanjot Kaur to Issy Wong Back of a length, darting into the batter, Wong can't quite get it away and nudges it towards leg gully and looks for the run but the keeper is onto the ball in a flash.

Front row seat: Children at Flax Bourton Primary School enjoyed their very own show of balloons ahead of this year's International Balloon Fiesta. The bulldog, Buster, was part of the inaugural Schools Tether Roadshow which aims to "bring the magic of Bristol's ballooning heritage to children across the city. A job well done: India's Shree Charani celebrates after taking the wicket of England's Amy Jones in the Women's Twenty20 International at the Seat Unique Stadium in Bristol. Double crown: Isla, 12, who trains with Dynamics School of Dance, said it was "mind-blowing" to walk away from the World Freestyle Championship at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool as a double champion.

Poor England slump to second defeat by India in women's T20
Agencies A poor all-round performance from England saw India take a 2-0 lead in the five-match T20 series with a convincing 24-run win at Bristol, reports England dominated the opening powerplay as India slipped to 31-3 - including Saturday's centurion Smriti Mandhana for 13 - but contributions of 63 apiece from Jemimah Rodrigues and Amanjot Kaur led a brilliant recovery to 181-4. The pair added 93 for the fourth wicket as England lost control of the middle overs, before Richa Ghosh's unbeaten 32 boosted the innings at the death. In reply, England's all-too-familiar batting frailties were exposed once again as they failed to recover from an early wobble to 17-3, eventually scrambling to 157-7 after Tammy Beaumont's 54 and a cameo of 35 from Sophie Ecclestone. Openers Danni Wyatt-Hodge and Sophia Dunkley fell in the first two overs and captain Nat Sciver-Brunt was caught at mid-on for 13, before Beaumont's counter-attacking knock kept England in the game with 106 needed from the final 10 overs. But Beaumont's run-out in the 12th over shifted the game back in India's favour and Amy Jones - who added 70 for the fourth wicket with Beaumont - and Alice Capsey both followed shortly after in the 15th, dismissed by the left-arm spin of Shree Charani. Ecclestone's 23-ball knock ensured England finished with some respectability but with many of the same mistakes repeated from the thrashing at Trent Bridge, the new leadership of Sciver-Brunt and Charlotte Edwards is being put to the test by a rapidly improving India who are building plenty of confidence going into their home 50-over World Cup in the autumn. England are without Heather Knight's middle-order stability, but the repetitive manner of these defeats are a concern with the World Cup approaching and only three 50-over matches to come beforehand. India captain Harmanpreet Kaur: 'It was a good win for us. It's something special to see. 'We stay positive, see how many runs we can put on the board and see how our bowlers can contribute. 'It's a long time before the T20 World Cup. At the moment our main focus is on this series.' ScorescColor:> India 181-4 (20 overs): A Kaur 63* (40), Rodrigues 63 (41); Bell 2-17 England 157-7 (20 overs): Beaumont 54 (35); Shree Charani 2-28. India won by 24 runs; lead series 2-0.
