England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt will miss Friday’s third T20 against India with a groin injury and will have a scan to determine her availability for the rest of the series.

The all-rounder, 32, spent time off the field as England fell 2-0 down in the five-match series in Tuesday’s second T20.

The fourth match follows on Wednesday, with the final T20 on 12 July.

Experienced batter Tammy Beaumont will captain at The Oval on Friday in Sciver-Brunt’s absence with Maia Bouchier, who has not been involved with England since being dropped after the Ashes, called up as cover.

Three one-day internationals also follow the T20s in late July.

England made a perfect start under Sciver-Brunt and new coach Charlotte Edwards at the start of the summer with a clean sweep across six white-ball matches against West Indies, but have since been given a reality check with convincing defeats by India.

They are already without the experience of former captain Heather Knight, who will miss the entire summer with a hamstring injury.
