Jhulan impresses, but England manage to score 227 for seven

Goswami, 39, was parsimonious, giving away only 20 runs in 10 overs with as many as 42 dot balls

Jhulan Goswami was accuracy personified even in one of her last international games but England’s lower middle-order put up a gutsy fight to take the home team to 227-7 in the first Women’s ODI, here on Sunday.

Goswami, 39, was parsimonious, giving away only 20 runs in 10 overs with as many as 42 dot balls.

She didn’t concede a single boundary or six and also bowled a fine off-cutter to get rid of the seasoned Tammy Beaumont (7). At the time of going to press, India were 90-1 in 16 overs.
