England avoid India whitewash with dramatic two-wicket victory


Wyatt top scored for England with 56 after England’s top order had been blown away MARK NOLAN/GETTY IMAGESEngland Women secured a dramatic two-wicket win in Mumbai to deprive India of a series whitewash. India had won the opening two matches of the three-match series, but Danielle Wyatt’s half-century saw the hosts’ 205 for eight overhauled with seven balls to spare. Katherine Brunt had earlier ruined India’s impressive start by returning figures of five for 28 from her ten overs. The England captain Heather Knight made 47 from 63 balls after England had been reduced to 49 for five in the 15th over, with the top order blown away by Jhulan Goswami. Wyatt and Georgia Elwiss (33 not out) set about getting England over the line before the former fell for 56 — her top score in 63 one-day internationals.
