And with the gongs over, and the crowd slipping away, time for me to go too. England bowled well – great to see Ecclestone back to her best – while India made a bit of a hash of their innings. All of which means we go to Chester-le-Street level with one to play. Do join us on Tuesday, play starts at 1pm BST. Have a lovely evening – bye!

The captains

Harmanpreet Kaur doesn’t think India batted well today and that the toss was very important with the overcast conditions. They’ve played well over the last month and this was an aberattion.

NSB was watching the rugby while they waited for the rain to stop. The bowlers worked out the fields they wanted themselves and then came to her – she’s pleased with that. Bowled better lengths today. England are working on their catching, but no-one means to drop anything.
