Here are all the details that you need to know about coverage of the game

Despite going down by 18 runs in the rain-affected series opener at Northampton on Friday, India put up a dazzling display on the field with skipper Harmanpreet Kaur taking a fine catch near long on to dismiss Nat Sciver, before Harleen Deol pulled off a stunner that has since become the talk of the town and garnered her accolades from across the cricketing world.
Harmanpreet credited the marked improvement in India's fielding in the opening T20I to the "little adjustments" made by fielding coach Abhay Sharma.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the second T20I between India Women and England Women at Hove. Although the hosts won the first game by virtue of the DLS method, they were undoubtedly the superior side on the day. Plenty is at stake for Harmanpreet Kaur and Co as they aim to keep themselves alive in the three-match series and end the final leg of their England tour on a high.
England women vs India women, 2nd T20I, LIVE score and updates: Massive over for the Indians as Verma certainly wins this mini-battle against veteran seamer Katherine Brunt, who had dismissed her for a duck in the previous game, collecting five boundaries on the trot to put India in firm control of the proceedings.
Preview, 2nd T20I: It’s a must win game for Harmanpreet Kaur and Co if they wish to keep themselves alive in the three-match T20I series.
After showing tremendous grit, India managed to pull off a draw in the one off Test. Moving onto limited-overs, India lost the three-match ODI series 2-1 and this was followed by a loss in the opening T20I encounter by 18 runs by virtue of the DLS method.
India will heavily rely on their openers Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana to do bulk of the scoring in the batting department.
All eyes will once again be on skipper Harmanpreet, who is in the middle of woeful run with the bat. The bowlers would want to put on a much improved show, especially at the death, having conceded 177 in the first T20I.
England seem to have all bases covered at the moment and skipper Heather Knight will be mighty pleased with how they have gone about their business, especially in the limited-overs matches thus far.
Teams (from):
India: Harmanpreet Kaur (captain) Smriti Mandhana, Deepti Sharma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali Verma, Richa Ghosh, Harleen Deol, Sneh Rana, Taniya Bhatia, Indrani Roy, Shikha Pandey, Pooja Vastrakar, Arundhati Reddy, Poonam Yadav, Ekta Bisht, Radha Yadav, Simaran Dil Bahadur.
