- Second ODI: England beat India by five wickets
- Dunkley hits 73 not out, Kate Cross takes five for 34
England clawed their way to a five-wicket win in the second one‑day international at Taunton with 15 balls to spare, coming out on top in a close contest against India thanks to an unbeaten 73 from Sophia Dunkley, who played with a confidence belying the fact that her debut in the format had come only three days previously.
Earlier the seamer Kate Cross had claimed five for 34 – the best by any England bowler on home soil since Anya Shrubsole’s six for 46 in the 2017 World Cup final – as India were bowled out for 221.
