(Reuters) - India's Deepti Sharma was the thorn in England's flesh yet again after the feisty spinner captured five wickets for seven runs in an extraordinary spell to bundle out the tourists for 136 in their one-off test match in Navi Mumbai on Friday.

Sharma had controversially run out England's Charlie Dean with a "Mankad" move - whipping the bails off to dismiss a non-striker who steps out of the crease - in a one-day international at Lord's last year, but her bowling grabbed all the headlines this time.
