Wyatt (31) followed soon. Following Jones’s departure, Tammy Beaumont (10) joined Wyatt at the crease but was soon bowled out by Poonam Yadav.

After back-to-back wickets of Wyatt and Beaumont, English all-rounder Natalie Sciver along with skipper Heather Knight took the charge of England’s innings but was not able to do much as Indian spinner Radha Yadav sent Knight back to stand and Sciver was bowled out by Anuja Patil.
