Alice Capsey and Heather Knight guide England to T20 series win over India

• England 184-4, bt India 180-5, by six wickets

• Victory perfectly timed before World Cup opener

England pulled off a statement run chase against India on Tuesday evening at Taunton, reaching their target of 181 with nine balls to spare thanks to a brilliant 137-run partnership from 76 balls between Alice Capsey and Heather Knight.

This was England’s highest successful T20I run-chase in eight years and it could not have been more ­perfectly timed, providing the perfect confidence boost 10 days out from their World Cup opener against Sri Lanka on 12 June.
