India win by 13 runs and take the series 2-1. Kranti Goud finishes with 6-52, the last of them caught by century maker Harmanpreet Kaur. That ends the women's international summer. Next up is an ODI world cup in India.

Dunkley ends proceedings by hammering the last ball of the the 21st over straight down the ground for four to take England to 116-2, home with eight wickets and three whole overs to spare. It is 1-1 in the series, so the third match will be a decider. Amy Jones 46 not out, the top individual score of the day, from 57 balls.

20 overs are complete, in spite of India's desperate time wasting (that review for a caught behind on one that was signalled wide, when keeper Ghosh had already said there was no bat on it) and England are 107-2. The 21st over starts with a boundary for Dunkley which reduces the ask to four more for England to win.

India deliberately burning a review on one that they know will not be overturned in the hope that the time taken on the review will increase the chance of more rain before 20 overs are bowled.

Goud bowls Sciver-Brunt and England are 102-2 after 19 overs, needing 13 more to win with a further five overs available to get them in.

Adjusted target for England looks like being 115, which means they will need 13 from a possible 32 balls on the resumption.

Restart at 7PM - game reduced to 24 overs per side.

A rain delay with England eight balls short of having faced 20 overs (because this started out as a 50 over match each side has to face at least 20 overs for it to be completed - England are ahead by the proverbial country mile).

We have an umpires review for a potential Obstructing The Field. She may have kicked out with her right leg at the ball after her left was grounded. Jacqueline Williams decides that it was not an act of obstruction and Beaumont survives.
