Chasing a victory target of 289, built around Maddy Darke's unbeaten 105, India ‘A' looked to build a foundation but rival spinners - Charli Knott (2-27), Grace Parsons (2-27) and Lilly Mills (1-15) - struck in regular intervals.

The visitors lost five wickets for just 42 runs across 21 overs. At stumps, Raghvi Bist (16) and Uma Chetry (10) were at the crease with India ‘A' still needing 140 runs to win.
