Sree Charani is convinced that Ecclestone has been pinned in front of the wicket but the umpire disagrees. Harmanpreet Kaur goes for the review, considering just one wicket remains and it's the umpire's call on hitting.

Great bowling from Deepti. She cleans up Lauren Bell with big spin. Another full delivery, this one outside off. Bell looks to defend, but the ball goes through the gap between pad and bat to hit the off-stump. India are pumped as they are just 1 wicket away from a historic victory at Lord's.

What a peach of a delivery from Deepti Sharma to end Wong's resistance. A full loopy ball on off-stump and Wong looks to defend it. She plays for the spin but the ball pitches and goes straight to hit the off-stump. Nothing Wong could've done to that. India are 2 wickets away now.

Great fightback from Issy Wong and Ecclestone. The former wants to block everything, she even defended a waist high full toss. Together, they've batted for 8 overs already.

What a tame dismissal after playing incredibly well. Amy Jones has found Shafali Verma at mid-wicket. It was a short ball from Rana and Jones rocked back to pull. But doesn't hit it hard or in the air, just flat to the fielder.

A perfect start to the day for India. They have a wicket in just 3 overs. Now, they are 3 wickets away from a historic victory at Lord's.
