Overview

  • In the fifth over of England’s chase at Lord’s, India appealed after Tammy Beaumont appeared to kick the ball back at wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh while returning to her crease.
  • TV umpire Jacqueline Wilson reviewed the incident under Law 37 and ruled that Beaumont’s actions did not amount to wilful obstruction of the field.
  • Beaumont was later trapped LBW by off-spinner Sneh Rana for 34, shifting the momentum of England’s pursuit of a rain-reduced target.
  • Amy Jones’s unbeaten 46 and a winning boundary from Sophia Dunkley sealed a three-over victory in the 29-over contest.
  • The win levelled the one-day series at 1–1 and sets up a deciding third ODI in Durham on Tuesday.
