  1. Almost time to get going again.

    The players have returned to the middle, Deepti Sharma is going take the first over after lunch.

    Nat Sciver-Brunt just needs to bat for as long as possible here today.

  3. Listen - World Cup winner Sarah Bern on TMS

    Red Roses prop and Women's Rugby World Cup winner Sarah Bern is today's guest on View from the Boundary during the lunch interval.

    Listen live on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra or catch-up on BBC Sounds.

  4. Heather Knight and Maia Bouchier resumed this morning looking to push on through the session.

    Instead they were both dismissed in quick succession - here's how they fell.

    'India well on top here now' - Bouchier and Knight go early on day two

  5. Thanks Elizabeth.

    Amy Jones did quite a bit of work to get England past the follow-on total there, but her dismissal just before lunch has exposed the tail.

    If India rattle through a few wickets after the interval then they'll secure a handy first-innings lead.

  6. That also means it's lunchtime for me!

    Here's Mike Peter to take you through the interval and the afternoon session.

  7. Lunch - Eng 137-5

    Sciver-Brunt 39 (74), Villiers 5 (7)

    Mady Villiers runs two to get off the mark in Test cricket.

    She doubles her tally with another two and then runs a single to take England to 136 - follow-on avoided.

    Nat Sciver-Brunt dashes a single off the final ball before lunch.

    England are 137-5, trailing India by 148 runs. A solid recovery from 47-4.

  8. Eng 131-5

    Deepti Sharma completes a maiden and India dash through in order to squeeze in another over before lunch. It will be bowled by Sneh Rana.

  9. Not out - Eng 131-5

    Missing leg stump. By a whole stump or two. Another couple of minutes eaten up before lunch.

  10. India review

    Deepti Sharma returns to the attack and goes absolutely wild for an lbw against Nat Sciver-Brunt. The umpire says no. Harmanpreet Kaur is quickly convinced to go upstairs.

  11. Eng 131-5

    There's a brief delay as another helmet is brought on. Jemimah Rodrigues slots in at silly point, with Richa Ghosh mirroring her at short leg.

    Mady Villiers, on her Test debut, blocks two deliveries back to bowler Sneh Rana.

    Jones will be annoyed with that. It was a very simple catch. A lovely partnership but the pressure was on England. It was really well batted from Amy Jones.

    WICKET

    Jones c Ghosh b Rana 52 (Eng 131-5)

    Richa Ghosh is rewarded for her bruising stint at short leg, gobbling up an inside edge from Amy Jones.

    Sneh Rana has broken England's fifth-wicket partnership. Jones departs for 52 (62).

  14. Eng 130-4

    Nat Sciver-Brunt's booming six is followed by a single as England move ever closer to avoiding the follow-on we briefly panicked about earlier.

    They trail India by 155 runs.

  15. 6 runs

    Eng 129-4

    Nat Sciver-Brunt gets down on one knee and clears the deep mid-wicket boundary. That came out of nowhere.

    'Fielders stood still' - Sciver-Brunt's big six

  16. Eng 123-4

    Into the final 15 minutes before lunch.

    India captain Harmanpreet Kaur is beaming as she jogs into position at the changeover. Maybe she's having a lovely day, maybe she's enjoying the 123-4 scoreline as much as I am.

  17. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on Test Match Special

    Jones has brought it up in quick time. There have been a few moments of madness but she has been very switched on.

  18. 50 runs

    50 for Amy Jones

    Eng 122-4

    Amy Jones squeezes the ball through third and jogs three to bring up her second Test half-century in 59 balls.

  19. Eng 118-4

    Ohhhh that was a dicey shot from Amy Jones, just about getting it up and over Harmanpreet Kaur at mid-on. She had a look of resignation as she watched its trajectory.

    She moves onto 49.

  20. Eng 116-4

    A single apiece for Nat Sciver-Brunt and Amy Jones off Sneh Rana's seventh over.
