1:42pm Another terrific Indian batting innings. They started off a little slower than usual but once they came to grips with the pace of the pitch, they cashed in. Mandhana was front and centre, nothing up her 11th ODI hundred and looking a million dollars while doing so. She was helped along the way with each of the top six getting starts and scoring at least 30. There was a threat that India would lose their way towards the end, but cameos from Deepti and Amanjot have ensured they have more than 340 to play with.

A tough and taxing day in the field for Sri Lanka, both literally and figuratively. They could not keep the Indian scoring down through the middle overs and that set India up for a big finish, which ended with India managing 90 off the last ten. Kumari, Madara and Vihanga all bagged a brace of scalps, but SL, in general, lacked the sort of control to transfer any pressure onto India. It did not help that they missed chances (run-outs and catches), and they now have a mountain to climb. They have, remember, chased a total down successfully against India this tri-series, but this might just be a different kettle of fish. Madushka will be back in a bit for the chase!

Madara to Goud, no run, dot to finish the innings! On a length in the fifth stump channel and this seems to nip away just a smidgen. Goud advances and wafts at it, only to grab a handful of fresh air. The keeper is in very tight, and Deepti does not chance her luck with a bye either!

Madara to Goud, 1 wide, well, it is not the last ball of the innings because Madara has speared this down leg! Goud does not get bat on it and the umpire has to stretch out her arms again

Goud, on debut for India, to face the final ball

Madara to AB Kaur, OUT, holes out to deep mid wicket, and Amanjot's cameo comes to an end! Attempted leg-stump yorker and this is full enough to deny Amanjot the power she wants. Gets decent elevation but the lack of power brings the fielder on the fence into play. Vihanga makes no mistake and India will have a new batter on strike for the last ball of the innings!

Madara to AB Kaur, FOUR, four more! India capitalizing on this last over! Full, wide and Amanjot throws the plumbing at this. Nowhere near the middle of the bat but the outside edge, on this occasion, will do. Short third had no chance!

Madara to AB Kaur, FOUR, that is a top shot! Slot ball on middle and off. Amanjot gives herself room early and then just goes through the line, banging it over mid off!

Madara to Sharma, 1 run, slanted in on a length on middle and leg. Deepti skips down the track and flicks it uppishly towards deep backward square leg

Madara to Sharma, 1 wide, too wide outside off and the umpire has to indulge in some more exercise. Deepti wise enough to not fiddle with it

Madara to Sharma, FOUR, a boundary off the first ball of the 50th! Madara errs in line with this shortish ball. Ends up on the hips and Deepti can swing it away past short fine leg!

Kumari to Sharma, 1 run, angled in very full on middle and off. Deepti swipes it towards deep backward square leg, who nearly over-runs it and does not account for the spin. No damage done in the end, and just five off the over!

Superb over so far. Can Kumari close out this over well?

Kumari to AB Kaur, 1 run, full toss on leg stump. Amanjot tugs it down the ground towards long on and that is just another single

Kumari to Sharma, 1 run, pulls the length back after seeing the batter advance. Deepti adjusts and goes through with the stroke anyway, chipping it towards long off, whose throw nearly took Deepti out at the bowler's end

Kumari to AB Kaur, 1 run, almost a yorker outside off. Amanjot tries her luck with the sweep this time but cannot get under it enough. Drags it towards deep mid wicket

Kumari to Sharma, 1 run, very full just outside off. Deepti gets down on one knee and helps it towards deep backward square leg. Too full to be playing that stroke

Kumari to Sharma, no run, tossed up full on middle and leg. Deepti looks for that favoured sweep shot again but cannot beat the fielder at short fine leg on this occasion

Two overs left now. 350 just slipping away from India but this is still a pretty healthy score
