2:45pm So in a rain-shortened 39-over game, Sri Lanka have been restricted to a sub par 147. There were some starts from Hasini Perera - in a new opening role - Kavisha Dilhari and Anushka Sanjeewani, but a lack of partnerships cost the hosts dearly. On a helpful surface, that had some early movement and was on the slower side, India's bowlers were rarely put under any concerted pressure. The spin trio of Deepti Sharma, Sneh Rana and Sree Charani did the bulk of the damage, picking up 7 wickets between them, but each of the six bowlers used contributed in a disciplined performance. In the field too India scarcely gave away free runs, with the only blot a few fluffed chances behind the stumps from Richa Ghosh. Sri Lanka will do well to contain a strong India batting lineup in this chase. Fidel will be back for the start of that shortly.

Sharma to Kulasuriya, OUT, And Rodrigues brings the innings to a close in style! Kulasuriya goes for a slog sweep and this one hangs in the air. Rodrigues hares in from the deep midwicket boundary and springs forward to hold this with both hands. She's been excellent from ball one today, and it's a fitting close to this innings. Sri Lanka are bowled out for 147

Alright, we're into the final over of the innings. How many can Sri Lanka muster here? Sharma to bowl it.

Reddy to Ranaweera, no run, huge appeal but nothing given! Length ball and into the pads, but this might have been sliding down leg. Possibly some bat there as well

Reddy to Madara, 2 runs, OUT, Is this another run out?! Yes it is! This was full on off, and it was a controlled chip over the infield over cover. There was a mix-up though when coming back for the third, and that hesitation left Madara having to dive back into her crease at the striker's end. But to no avail, as Sri Lanka lose their ninth
