The effect means India travel their triumph successful the T20 bid with different successful the ODIs and leaves England with plentifulness to ponder.

They bash not play again successful 50-over cricket earlier departing for the World Cup successful India successful precocious September.

On insubstantial this looked a adjacent game. In world India played the amended cricket throughout.

Had Sciver-Brunt, who began her reign arsenic skipper by sweeping speech West Indies astatine the commencement of the summer, pulled disconnected her latest rescue enactment it would person lone papered implicit the cracks. They person been good abbreviated erstwhile India person provided a measurement up successful class.

Goud, playing successful her 5th international, was much close and recovered much question than England's seamers. A nip-backer to vessel Beaumont for 2 successful the archetypal implicit was the prime of her wickets.

When England get successful India they volition apt look acold antithetic conditions to those successful Chester-le-Street but their deficiency of menace with the shot connected a level transportation was a glaring contented here.

Without new-ball movement, Lauren Bell was ineffective. Seamer Lauren Filer and left-arm spinner Linsey Smith were wayward. Only Ecclestone offered immoderate benignant of power with the last figures of Bell, Smith and Dean each rankings successful the 15 astir costly for England.

Still, erstwhile Deol top-edged a drawback disconnected Bell successful the 33rd over, India were 162-3 and the innings could person gone either mode but Harmanpreet and Rodrigues paced their innings perfectly.
