After Sarah Taylor and Natalie Sciver’s 83-run partnership for the fifth wicket, ODI cricket’s highest wicket-taker Jhulan Goswami struck thrice in three overs. The scoreboard read 164 for six, with number seven Katherine Brunt and no. eight Jenny Gunn on the crease.
With Jhulan finishing her quota of 10 overs by the 40th of the innings, none of the Indian bowlers managed to strike further blows to the English side. Brunt went on to score 34 runs while Gunn added 25 runs, eventually taking England’s total to 228.
Had Indian bowlers tightened the screws then, the hosts might well have seen their innings finish before the 200-run mark.
