WWC Final live score, IND vs ENG: WWC17: Raut takes charge after Kaur falls

  India Women: 173/3 (Raut 80, Krishnamurthy 16) Overs: 40 OUT! Harmanpreet departs for 51 A match winning 171 in the semis and now a crucial fifty in the final, Harmanpreet Kaur is on a roll Punam Raut gets to her 10th ODI fifty and none more important than this one. India 120/2 India Women: 106/2 (Raut 45, Harmanpreet 39) Overs: 27 India Women: 73/2 (Raut 33, Harmanpreet 19) Overs: 21 SIX!A little shimmy down the pitch and away she goes, over the long on for a huge six. Sanjay Manjarekar put it right,"That was hark-Karu." FOUR!  Just over the fielder at mid-on. Harmanpreet charges down the track and lofts the full toss to get her first boundary. India Women: 45/2 (Raut 24, Harmanpreet 1) Overs: 14 She also falls behind the tournament highest run scorer mark by 1 run. Horrible horrible mix-up. Mithali Raj didn't even try to get back.  There was no run there, Punam just set off without even looking at her partner. But why didn't Mithali put in a dive? England won't complain, they have got their most prized wicket. India Women: 41/1 (Raut 22, Mithali 16) Overs: 11 FOUR! Raut is following only one rule. If it's there to hit, I won't hold back'. Another slower one from Sciver and Raut unleashes her big bat swing. One bound and over the ropes. India Women: 31/1 (Raut 17, Mithali 11) Overs: 8 SIX! WOW! Right in the arc and Punam doesn't hold back. Deposits it straight over the long-off boundary for a maximum - first of the final. FOUR! That's all too easy. A juicy full toss on the pads and Mithali flicks to the boundary with utmost grace. India Women: 18/1 (Raut 9, Mithali 7) Overs: 5 FOUR! Class written all over it. A forward press, a stretch of the arms and finally opening the face to avoid the fielder at point, that's so Mithali Raj. The skipper is underway with a picturesque square drive. FOUR! What a shot! If there were any doubts about India's approach towards the target then Punam Raut clears it all with a bludgeoning shot straight over the bowler's head. India Women: 6/1 (Raut 2, Mithali 0) Overs: 2 WICKET: Right through Mandhana's defense. Her torrid time in the World Cup continues, out for a DUCK. A dream delivery by Shrubsole with a hint of inward movement, no foot work from Mandhana and the ball found the gap between bat and pad. India Women: 2/0 (Raut 2, Mandhana 0) Overs: 1 First runs, Raut off the mark with nice steer down third man. The Indian openers - Punam Raut and Smriti Mandhana make their way into the middle. The onus will be on them to give India a good start.
A complete performance by the Indian bowlers. Mithali said she would have preferred to bat but after the end of the first innings, she would be more than happy with her bowlers. Particularly the experienced Jhulan Goswami, who broke the English middle order with three wickets in quick succession. Credit must be given to the spinners also. It was Gayakwad and Poonam Yadav, who got the initial breakthroughs after England got off to a decent start. Now it's up to the batters to make history. 229 runs to get in 50 overs against the likes of Brunt, Gunn and Marsh. India restrict England to 228/7 (Sciver 51, Jhulan 3/23) at the end of 50 overs in the final at Lord's Superb couple of over by Gayakwad and Deepti. Only 12 runs off it. FOUR! A boundary to start, a boundary to finish. Big over for England. Looks good to reach 230. FOUR! Great use of the bottom hand from Gunn to pull it between long on and deep mid-wicket. Starts the 48th over with a boundary. England Women: 196/7 (Gunn 8, Marsh 0 ) Overs: 46 WICKET: Finally an Indian fielder hits. Gunn sets off for a run hitting it straight to Deepti Sharma at cover. Brunt had no chance to make it to the striker's end. England lose their seventh FOUR! Driven past cover with full force. A boundary after a long time, courtesy Katherine Brunt. England Women: 171/6 (Brunt 15, Gunn 2) Overs: 41 Take a bow Jhulan Goswami. 10 overs, 3 for 23 on a World Cup final at Lord's England Women: 164/6 (Brunt 10, Gunn 0) Overs: 38 WICKET: The review was more in hope than anything else. Another Jhulan fuller length delivery, another LBW dismissal. But this time its Nat Sciver (51). England in danger of getting bowled out. Sciver gets to fifty. She holds the key for England. England Women: 146/5 ( Sciver 44, Brunt 0) Overs: 33 WICKET:  OUT! Plumb in front, Two in two for Jhulan. Full and straight, Wilson misses and the umpire doesn't waste any time to raise the finger up. Jhulan on a hat trick. WICKET: A soft dismissal! an innocuous delivery from Jhulan down the leg side, Taylor gets a tickle and Sushma does the rest behind the stumps. Big big wicket for India. England are four down. England Women: 133/3 ( Taylor 39, Sciver 39) Overs: 30 FOUR! Slapped down the ground. Shikha over pitches slightly and Sciver was on it in a flash. Superb shot past mid-off. The rain has started to come down heavily now. It's only a matter of time before the umpires call for covers. England Women: 103/3 ( Taylor 26, Sciver 23) Overs: 25 There is slight drizzle at the moment. FOUR! Placed to perfection. Right between the deep square-leg and short fine-leg fielders to bring up England's 100. England Women: 80/3 ( Taylor 14, Sciver 13) Overs: 20 FOUR! Sciver comes down the tack and deposits it straight over the bowlers head for a boundary. That's way to start your innings. England Women: 64/3 ( Taylor 10, Sciver 1) Overs: 17 WICKET: 3 reds mean India have got their third wicket. great review by captain Mithali to get her opposition counterpart Knight. Poonam Yadav turning the match on India's way. England captain Heather Knight is in at No. 4. WICKET: A gift for India, Tammy Beaumont hits a full toss straight down to square-leg. Poonam Yadav strikes in her first over. England 61/2 England Women: 52/1 (Beaumont 19, Taylor 4) Overs: 13 Fifty up for England! England wicket-keeper Sarah Taylor makes her way into the middle WICKET: BOWLED! One sweep too many for Winfield. Gayakwad bowls at around leg stump, Winfield tries to sweep it but the ball turns, goes past the bat to hit the stumps. India have their first wicket. England: 47/1 Now it will be spin from both ends. Off-spinner Deepti Sharma has the ball in her hands. India desperate for a breakthrough. England Women: 43/0 (Winfield 22, Beaumont 19) Overs: 10 MAIDEN! first of the match. India just looking to tighten the screws on England. DROPPED! A chance goes begging. Gayakwad bowls flatter through the air, Beaumont rocks onto the backfoot to cut it past point but only manages an outside edge. But Sushma Verma not able to hold on to it. Jhulan Goswami goes off the field, not sure if it is because of an injury. A successful review! Decision reversed to not out. Winfield survives the LBW scare. England Women: 42/0 (Winfield 22, Beaumont 19) Overs: 8 FOUR!Delicate touch by Winfield, Gayakwad slightly drifting towards the on side and Winfield paddles it past fine leg for a boundary. Mithali makes the first bowling change. Left-arm spinner Rajeshwari Gayakwad introduced into the attack. Back to back boundaries! First to the left of the cover fielder, the next to her right. Beaumont off to a flier and so is England. England Women: 21/0 (Winfield 10, Beaumont 10) Overs: 5 England Women: 15/0 (Winfield 6, Beaumont 9) Overs: 3 FOUR! Miss filed at mid-on. Winfield joins the act, two boundaries off the Shikha Pandey over. FOUR! First boundary of the final and it comes off Beaumont's bat. England Women: 1/0 (Winfield 1, Beaumont 0) Overs: 1 Perfect start by Jhulan Goswami, right on the money. ENGw XI: L Winfield, T Beaumont, S Taylor, H Knight, N Sciver, F Wilson, K Brunt, J Gunn, A Shrubsole, L Marsh, A Hartley INDw XI: P Raut, S Mandhana, M Raj, H Kaur, D Sharma, V Krishnamurthy, S Pandey, S Verma, J Goswami, R Gayakwad, P Yadav Indian captain Mithali Raj said India would have also liked to bat first "We would've batted first as well, but our seamers are back in form, they'll relish bowling upfront." Both teams have decided to stick to their winning combinations. There were questions marks over India’s semi-final heroine Harmanpreet Kaur’s availability, but much to the relief of the Indian camp, she is fit and ready to go. England won the toss and opted to bat first against India in the ICC Women’s World Cup final at Lord’s.
