The second women's Test between England and India appeared destined for a draw as both sides found it difficult to take wickets.

Mithali Raj scored an unbeaten double century as India finished day three on 445-6 in reply to England's 329.

Raj hit 19 boundaries in a marathon 210 not out that spanned six and a half hours.

She put on 55 with Anjum Chopra (52) for the second wicket and then 144 with Hemlata Kala (62), who came in after Chopra was dismissed.

Jhulan Goswami then scored an unbeaten 54, including two boundaries, as she put on an unbeaten 148 with Raj.

England used nine bowlers, but only Clare Connor, with 2-64 enjoyed much success.

The series also looks certain to draw a blank with the first Test washed out.

England: C M Edwards, C Atkins, C J Connor (Capt), S C Taylor, L K Newton, M C Godliman (Wkt), I T Guha, L J Harper, K M Leng, N Shaw, C E Taylor.

India: S A Paranjpe, M Maben, A Chopra (Capt), N David, B Goell, J Goswami, S Naik (Wkt), D M Kulkarni, S Singh, M Raj H Kala.
