Right then, this highly anticipated five-match T20I series has been sealed by India Women 3-1 but there's still a game to go and neither side would want to end the series with a defeat, especially with an ODI series to follow after that. The fifth and final T20I will be played on Saturday, 12 June in Birmingham. The game will begin at 11.05 pm IST (5.35 pm GMT), but you can join us a lot sooner for the build-up. Until next time then. Cheers!
The Indian captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, is up for a chat now. She says they feel really grateful that they won the series. Adds that it was important for them to get the momentum. Shares that they had very good camps back home before coming to the UK. Points about executing the plans well and everyone playing according to their roles. Also shares that they have now played three seasons of WPL and every season has been special for them, which has provided valuable experience to execute in international cricket. Ends by saying that they just want to keep doing the right things repeatedly.
England Women skipper, Tammy Beaumont, says that a couple of contrasting games and probably 150 was needed on this track, and they simply didn't get things right. Adds that they need to be better with the bat and holds her hand up regarding her soft dismissal, but also gives credit to India and says they bowled and fielded well. Mentions that India assessed conditions quickly and took the pace off the ball, and with a bit of pressure off the shoulders, they want to put in a complete performance in the final game.
Radha Yadav is named Player of the Match for her stellar bowling performance. She says the team is charged up from the outset of the series and credits their preparation and focus on fine details, like spinning the ball with more intent and executing yorkers precisely, for the results showing on the field. On adapting to conditions different from The Oval, Radha notes that it feels more natural here, as the surface suits their bowling style and feels familiar, helping them settle in quickly. Highlights that all bowlers did really well and they are looking forward to the next game. On the fielding efforts, she mentions that this is the part that they were trying to get better and says they did well in that department too.
The Presentation ceremony...
Earlier in the game, Tammy Beaumont won the toss and just like the last game, she elected to bat first on a pitch that was very much on the slower side. The Indian bowlers were quick to take pace off the ball and saw the back of the English openers, who made a half century each in the previous game. From there on, it was all about keeping the pressure on the batters and the bowlers created opportunities with the fielders backing them up by holding onto the catches. Radha Yadav, in particular, was impressive and picked up a couple of wickets, and so did young sensation Shree Charani. England Women didn't have any batter even go past the 25-run mark and the lack of partnerships meant that they only mustered up 126 runs, thanks to a flourish in the final over from Issy Wong and Sophie Ecclestone.
With just 10 needed for the win, Harmanpreet fell and soon, Amanjot Kaur followed but with plenty of balls left, Richa Ghosh and Jemimah Rodrigues finished things up in a hurry and India sealed the game with 3 overs remaining. A historic moment indeed and they will now be eyeing to pile on more misery on the hosts in the final game.
The innings slowed down in the middle overs as England managed to pick up a couple of wickets and used the sluggishness of the track to their advantage. The likes of Sophie Ecclestone and Issy Wong used the variations nicely and Charlie Dean and Lauren Filer bowled with a lot of heart. However, India Women were always just one decent stand away from victory and that came when skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues stitched together 48 runs. The boundaries didn't flow in that stand as the hosts built up pressure with a lot of dot balls but the duo managed to break free towards the end.
127 runs needed for the win and it seemed pretty straightforward at the break. However, 121 has been the average score here in recent times but the way the Indian openers started, it definitely did look like a pitch where you needed a score of around 150. Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma picked up 53 runs in the Powerplay and broke the back of the run chase and it seemed like the English had no answer to the carnage.
HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE AT OLD TRAFFORD! India Women have their maiden T20I series win against England Women and they have sealed the five-match series with a game in hand. A terrific showing from the Women in Blue and they have deserved it. England, on the other hand, will be disappointed but this is a team that is in transition and they will be looking to bounce back in the final game.

Sophie Ecclestone To Jemimah Rodrigues
THAT'S IT! That's the moment! History has been created at Manchester as India Women register their first T20I series win on English soil. Tossed up nicely by Sophie, but very full and sliding on the leg stump line. Rodrigues shuffles across the line and paddles it very fine to the fence at deep fine leg. INDIA WIN BY 6 WICKETS AND 18 BALLS TO SPARE!

Sophie Ecclestone To Amanjot Kaur OUT!
OUT! RUN OUT! A needless run, and India lose another wicket. Floated delivery, full and drifting onto the leg stump line. Amanjot uses her wrists to flick the ball into the deep square leg region. Jemimah Rodrigues calls for two straightaway and Amanjot obeys her partner to return for the second run. But, Charlie Dean shows good sharp work in the deep releases a flat quick throw towards the keeper. Amy Jones collects the ball in the bounce and whips the bails off in a flash, with Kaur well out of her crease. The replays too, confirm the same.
Run out? It did seem out and Amanjot Kaur was never in a position to get the second run there. The umpires have gone upstairs just to be sure. The third umpire checks a couple of replays and is convinced that Amy Jones whipped off the bails well before Kaur dived into the crease. OUT!

Issy Wong To Harmanpreet Kaur OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Wong provides a big wicket for her side, but is that too little and too late? Hurls it full and around off. Harmanpreet Kaur clears the front leg and tries to smash it over the bowler's head, but miscues her shot. She doesn't quite manage to get the bat under the ball and ends up hitting it off the toe end. It flies to the right of mid off where Sophie Ecclestone moves towards the ball and takes a fine catch. India are 117/3, needing 10 runs to win as Harmanpreet Kaur departs on 26 (25).

Another appeal for LBW from the keeper and even more vociferous, but Sophie isn't interested, and probably there was an inside edge as well. Nagging length on off, angling in, Kaur goes to sweep but misses and wears it on the pads. Replays do show that there was an under edge.

Sophie Ecclestone To Harmanpreet Kaur
Half an appeal for LBW, mostly from the keeper and the umpire turns it down. Tammy Beaumont has a quick chat with the bowler and the keeper and takes the review. This is a flighted delivery from Sophie Ecclestone, bowled full and drifted into the pads. Harmanpreet Kaur tries to clear the leg and heave it away, but yorks herself and gets hit on the back leg. The third umpire finds nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking shows that the impact was outside the line of the leg stump. NOT OUT!

An unnecessary throw at the bowler's end from Alice Capsey and she gets the direct hit in but the ball rolls through wide mid on and the batters are able to get a couple of overthrows.
DRINKS BREAK! A blistering Powerplay for India with the bat has pulled them well ahead in the game. 53 needed off the remaining 60 legal deliveries and with 8 wickets in hand, it should be straightforward for the visitors. However, we have seen England Women come crawling back into the game in the last 2-3 overs and a couple of wickets here would expose the Indian middle order. Let's see how it all pans out.

Sophie Ecclestone To Smriti Mandhana OUT!
OUT! GONE! CAUGHT! Sophie Ecclestone provides a very crucial wicket for England as she dismisses Mandhana. And now, both Indian openers are back in the pavilion. Sophie gives the ball some air, and pitches this wide of off, on a fuller length, enticing Smriti to charge at it. Mandhana does exactly that and tries to smash it downtown, but only manages to slice it in the air off the leading edge. The ball flies towards short third. Lauren Filer gathers a safe catch over her head. Smriti Mandhana departs for 32 (31) and India are 69/2.

FOUR! Just picking the gaps here, Mandhana! Into the pitch and on the stumps, Mandhana swivels onto the back foot and turns it away through the leg side, to the left of deep mid-wicket and finds the boundary.

Lauren Bell To Shafali Verma
NO BALL! Oh, deary me! That has gone all wrong for Lauren Bell. An attempted slower ball that slips out of the hands and ends up being a beamer. Shafali Verma ducks as the ball goes over her and the stumps. Free Hit coming up...

Charlie Dean To Shafali Verma
FOUR! It's carnage out there from the Indian openers! Fired in a bit on off and middle, Shafali Verma gets leg side of the ball and down on one knee before swatting it back over the bowler's head for another boundary.

Charlie Dean To Smriti Mandhana
Flatter delivery on off, Mandhana pushes it out towards extra cover and the batters scamper through for the single. The bowler herself chases after the ball and hears a loud call from Amy Jones to throw it to the keeper. Dean does that and Jones whips off the bails but Verma is well in. The umpires go upstairs to have a look but the very first replay confirms that Verma is safe.

Charlie Dean To Smriti Mandhana
A tad shorter and angled into the pads, Mandhana fails to get it away and gets hit on the pads. A stifled appeal from the bowler and nothing more.

Lauren Filer To Shafali Verma
FOUR! Hammered! Aggressive but predictable from Filer, bowling it short and outside off. Shafali Verma stays put and slaps the ball flat and back over the bowler's head for a third boundary in the over. It seems like Verma's picked up some Wimbledon fever from London.

FOUR! Just enough elevation on that one! Shafali Verma expects the short ball and hangs back but this is pitched up at the stumps. Verma stays leg side of the ball and manages to loft it over Issy Wong at mid on for a boundary.
Lauren Filer to bowl from the other end.
