The Cricketer rates the individual performances of every player during the second women's ODI between England and India

ENGLAND

Tammy Beaumont (6): Ran herself out early on by taking on Kaur at mid-on and coming out second-best 2

Emma Lamb (15): Adjudged lbw when a long way across her stumps, possibly so much so that she was outside the line, but an understandable decision from the umpire; didn't bowl, which seemed an oversight 3

Sophia Dunkley (1): A poor shot even in the context of a big score to chase, ought to have shown more nous as an established player in a young side 2

Alice Capsey (39): Played beautifully after coming to the crease so early, particularly given she spent much of India's innings off the field with a finger injury 6

Amy Jones (39): Not for the first time in this series, the stand-in captain's captaincy left plenty to be desired; appeared to find some form with the bat but stumped as she looked to attack Sharma 5

Danni Wyatt (65): Fine knock after coming to the crease in all kinds of strife; played over the top of a yorker, which all but ended England's hopes 7

Freya Kemp (12; 1-82): Ended with the most expensive figures by an England bowler in ODIs, the consequence of being asked to bowl the death overs against a rampant India captain; a steep learning curve for the teenager 3

Sophie Ecclestone (1; 1-64): The third-most expensive spell of her ODI career and just the third time that she has conceded 60 runs in a 50-over innings – all three of which have come this year; asked to bowl at the death, which didn't come off 4

Charlie Dean (37; 1-39): Bowled in such a way that the decision not to bowl Lamb was baffling; comfortably England's best bowler on the day and took an excellent catch off to dismiss Bhatia; batted nicely to reaffirm her ability to bat higher in the order 7

Kate Cross (14; 1-68): Couldn't contain India despite making the breakthrough of Verma early on; conceded 68 runs but still the most economical of England's seamers 4

Lauren Bell (11; 1-79): Set the tone for a poor bowling display with a loose first over and struggled thereafter 3

INDIA

Shafali Verma (8; 1-5): Started brightly but cleaned up by Cross – could do with a score at Lord's; claimed her first ODI wicket 3

Smriti Mandhana (40): Imperious until missing a slog-sweep against Ecclestone; England haven't worked out a plan yet against her 6

Yastika Bhatia (26): Easy on the eye, driving beautifully and a good ally for Mandhana; kept tidily 5

Harmanpreet Kaur (143*): Faultless throughout and went through the gears gloriously once she'd reached three figures, a world-class knock from the visiting captain; ran out Beaumont to set the tone for India's fielding effort 9.5

Harleen Deol (58; 0-13): An adept foil for Kaur in a 113-run partnership; has looked a fine player through the series and deserved her fifty 7

Pooja Vastrakar (18; 0-36): Promoted up the order to add late impetus; expensive with the ball and without much direction; did well to run out Kemp 4

Deepti Sharma (15*; 1-40): Targeted in the Capsey-Wyatt partnership but had the last laugh by dismissing Capsey 5

Dayalan Hemalatha (2-6): Pushed down the order and didn't bat, so only entered the game properly when thrown the ball by Kaur; the captain's dream day continued when that call immediately paid off and Hemalatha dismissed Jones 5

Jhulan Goswami (0-31): Didn't bowl as well as at Hove but still the tightest of India's seamers 5

Rajeshwari Gayakwad (0-45): Tried to bowl as straight as possible and therefore gave little away in her first spell; England's lower order attacked her later on, but the game was all but gone 5

Renuka Thakur (4-57): Did the bulk of the damage, taking the wickets of Dunkley, Lamb and Wyatt, before adding Ecclestone for good measure once the game was over as a contest 8
