Pitch report by Charles Dagnall and Anjum Chopra: 50m and 53m boundaries, 60m down the ground. It looks like a belter. Beautiful batting paradise. The challenge for the bowlers will be about figuring out where to land the ball.

Harmanpreet Kaur | India captain: We were looking to bowl as well but everyone was ok with whatever. Only thing about bowling second was about dew but it wasn’t there in the last game so we are okay with batting first. We had a very positive meeting the other day, we understood our field placements and the areas we need to bowl better. Kanika Ahuja comes in

Heather Knight | England captain: We’re going to have a bowl, generally as a side we prefer chasing. Brilliant start from the batting group, really pleased with the way we went about it. Couple of things we could’ve sharpened up with the ball. Charlie Dean comes in for Mahika Gaur.

England Women have won the toss and have opted to field

18:00 Local Time, 13:30 GMT, 18:00 IST: After succumbing to a heavy defeat a couple of days ago, a win for India is paramount today - not just for their confidence but also for them to keep the series alive. A dominant England side outplayed the hosts and registered a convincing 38-run win on the back of special knocks from stalwarts Danni Wyatt and Nat Sciver-Brunt. India looked slightly off the boil and weren’t at their best with the ball or in the field and they’ll be looking to rectify that very quickly. England got the start to the tour they wanted and sealing the T20I series tonight will give them a lot of confidence heading into an important Test match. Stick around, toss and playing XI info coming your way shortly.
