That's it, the match has ended and this has been a terrific performance by this Indian team. They have literally snatched the victory from the jaws of defeat. India win the game by 8 runs and level the 3-match series 1-1.

India put to bat first end their first innings on 148, probably falling 15-20 runs short after the kind start Shafali Verma gave them with her 48. Both the opener after a firing start fell quickly after the 50-run stand. The Indian skipper promoted herself and looked good for her 31, but that doesn't seem to have worked well for Deepti, who crawled her way to 24 off 27 while searching for boundaries. India kept throwing the momentum away and in the end, they will be disappointed by the finish to the innings.

England started the run chase with positive intent taking upon the new ball bowlers until Wyatt threw her wicket away in the third over. The star all-rounder soon followed her back to the dugout after a horrible run-out. Knight along with Tammy kept things going for England and they were cruising through. They kept taking the singles and doubles which frustrated the Indian skipper. The second 50-run stand of the match was brought by these two experienced campaigners in the 11th over and the game was almost done and dusted halfway through the innings. Indian pacers were a bit disappointing as both of them were quite expensive.

As usual, the Indian spinners were tight with their line and Deepti Sharma came into the attack and completely changed the course of the game. She along with Poonam Yadav contained the English lower-middle order at the death. An excellent outing by India on the field as well, producing three run-outs which proved to be the game-changer. In the end, England kept losing wickets at regular intervals and the lower-order failed to get them past this small total.

Heather Knight: To be honest, we were very good for the major portion of the game. It was one of the days, I couldn't get back in the crease. I think we have a strong batting lineup, but we should be winning these kinds of matches. We can't lose the series here but credit to India, they played very well.

Harmanpreet Kaur: Great effort by the whole team, everybody were on their toes. We got a very good start but got stuck in the middle overs. I wanna give credit to the bowlers, they know their field placements very well and it was an excellent outing for the fielders, they brought us back in the game. Bubble thing is very hard for everyone, the team management has been very supportive and helped us get through this time.

The Player of the Match award goes to Deepti Sharma.
