A Natalie Sciver-Brunt half-century was not enough to rescue England from a dismal batting collapse against India, who are now in position to wrap up their one-off women's Test  inside three days in Mumbai.

In a miserable day the tourists amassed just 136 all out in response to India's first innings total of 428, and after deciding not to impose the follow-on, the hosts reached stumps with a commanding lead of 478.

Nineteen wickets fell in total, starting with the Indian tail-end as they managed to add just 18 to their imposing overnight total.

But England's response began badly with both Sophia Dunkley and Heather Knight dismissed inside the first eight overs, with only Sciver-Brunt's 59 offered any kind of resistance.

Having limped to 79 for two, England collapsed, losing six wickets for 10 runs as Deepti Sharma led the Indian bowlers with figures of five for seven.

India opted to return to the field with Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma sharing 61 for the first wicket, but four wickets for Charlie Dean gave England a glimmer of hope as the hosts closed on 186 for six.
