Sophie Ecclestone to Richa Ghosh, FIFTY FOR RICHA GHOSH! Slightly under run a ball to get to her 3rd Test half century. Looped up by Sophie, outside off, Richa Ghosh stretches out in front and creams it through extra cover for a single to get to her milestone. And yes, there comes the declaration signal from the Indian captain. INDIA HAVE DECLARED ON 341/7! England are set a massive target of 457 runs. And that will be early Tea at Lord's on Day 3!

Lauren Filer to Sayali Satghare, FOUR! Safe shot! Lauren Filer bangs this into the pitch, on middle. Sayali Satghare stands tall and pulls it away over mid-wicket. She does not get it from the middle of the bat but gets enough to clear the fielder and the ball teases her all the way to the fence and wins the race.

Lauren Filer to Sayali Satghare, FOUR! Streaky, but India won't mind that at all! A touch fuller, outside off. Sayali Satghare throws her bat at it, slashing hard and gets a thick outside edge. The ball flies over the gully fielder and runs to the fence. The lead for India is now 447 runs.

Sophie Ecclestone to Richa Ghosh, DROPPED! Pretty much sums up the Test for England. Issy Wong is the guilty party who shells a straightforward chance. Full in length, on middle and leg. Richa Ghosh skips down the track and tries to launch it over long on, but the timing goes all wrong. The ball is aired off the toe end and goes only as far as Issy Wong at long on who drops it. In and out of her palms.

Sophie Ecclestone to Richa Ghosh, FOUR! Inching closer to her fifty now, is Ghosh. Full from Sophie, on middle. Richa Ghosh shimmies down the track, gets under the bat and pumps it down the ground for a boundary. One bounce and over the ropes. She moves to 47.
DRINKS BREAK! Plenty of tired legs on the ground for England. And understandably so. They have toiled hard for 80 overs now, plus about 75 overs in the first innings, which is around 155 overs on the field in about two and a half days with a very quick turnaround. Not easy, especially under this heat. And it now looks like they are just waiting for the signal to come from the Indian balcony. Right, Richa needs 10 runs to get to her half century. India need 20 to get their lead past 450. Wonder which milestone will be the one for the Indian captain to call her batters in. For now, they march on. Sophie Ecclestone will continue after the break. And the second new ball is also available for England. But looks like they haven't opted for it just yet.
