- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.2 early on the shot and chipped straight to point! This is full, wide of off, and Rawal tries to carve this behind square on the offside, but she has to reach fot this ball and she just can't keep the shot down. Point is stationed juuust backward of square, and it's straight to her at chest height. South Africa have got rid of one of India's form batters 9/123.3 Tryon gets the breakthrough! An unnecessary shot from Mandhana. Short ball around off stump, she goes back and tries to play this uppishly towards deep midwicket. It only goes high in the air and falls straight into the hands of De Klerk 138/42.3 that's an absolute pearl of a delivery, and that has utterly tied up Deol, who finds her stumps rattled! This was back of a length, pitching a little way outside off. But it jagged back at Deol off the seam, when perhaps she had been setting up for another cut. And that seam back surprises Deol so much that her feet go practically nowhere, and her attempts at adjusting her shot are unsuccessful, the ball kisses the top of middle and off after shooting through her defences 18/26.6 she's gone now! Wow, what an action-packed powerplay this is turning out to be! This is shortish again, but not as short as the two previous deliveries (this gets up to about thigh-high), and is at the body. Again Harmanpreet is trying to pull over the legside, but she's a little rushed by this ball and she ends up only miscuing it horribly to midwicket, who only has to move about a metre to get under this chance. South Africa are leaking runs, but they are also striking. 50/342.4 She's finally gone! Caught at point. This is a back of a length ball on the stumps, which Klaas has rolled her fingers over. Rodrigues tries to back away and crash this over the offside, but the pace of the delivery fools her, I think and she miscues it to point, who only has to take a couple of steps back to pouch that. End of perhaps the best innings of this series so far. 260/549.5 holes out for 93! She's down the track to a slower ball again, trying to thump this over long on this time. But she mis-hits it badly, and its a comfortable tack for the long on fielder, who takes it about 10 metres from the boundary 336/846.4 caught on the deep midwicket fence by Luus, who is slightly amused by her having been able to make a lot of ground and complete a fine running catch. This was a tossed up ball outside off that Ghosh tried to clobber over that boundary, but couldn't quite manage the distance 296/648.4 attempted reverse-sweep from Amanjot Kaur ends in a top edge that settles in backward point's hands. The shot was on - there was space in the outfield on the offside. But Mlaba is too good. Gets this to bounce a little extra, and has her second wicket on what has otherwise been a tough day 314/749.6 down the tack first ball and tries to club another slower ball over long off, Gets it wide enough of long off to fetch a couple though 337/9Extras5 (lb 1, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL337/9 (50 Overs, RR: 6.74)Did not bat: SS UpadhyayFall of wickets: 1-9 (Pratika Rawal, 1.2 ov), 2-18 (Harleen Deol, 2.3 ov), 3-50 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 6.6 ov), 4-138 (Smriti Mandhana, 23.3 ov), 5-260 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 42.4 ov), 6-296 (Richa Ghosh, 46.4 ov), 7-314 (Amanjot Kaur, 48.4 ov), 8-336 (Deepti Sharma, 49.5 ov), 9-337 (Shree Charani, 49.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.5 massive appeal and Amanjot strikes straightaway! slightly full length ball and pitched way outside off stump, swinging in a bit to the left-hander, Goodall looks to drive this forward but ends up nicking it to keeper 7/114.6 Pulled but straight to Rodrigues! Second wicket for Amanjot. She bowled a short ball again and Brits comes down and looks to pull it towards deep midwicket but doesn't time it well. South Africa are two down inside 15 overs 70/218.5 gone sweeping. This is just a lovely come back ball from Deepti, who pushed this one through quicker and fuller, and slippped past Smit's shot and rattled off stump. 89/345.1 cleaned her up! Dercksen's fighting knock comes to an end. Amanjot bowls a length delivery angling in, Dercksen is little late to react with the pull. The ball eventually crashes onto her stumps. Third wicket for Amanjot on her ODI return 260/629.5 miscues this to long on. Shangase knew SA needed to go big, and she can't quite get hold of this flatter ball from Rawal. The fielder didn't need to move far. 159/435.1 Loud appeal and the umpire's finger goes up! Looks like a close one. Tossed up delivery on middle and leg, goes with the arm to trap Jafta lbw on leg stump. Could be sliding down the leg but we don't have DRS to check this. India break through 188/549.1 Cleaned her up! Deepti bowls it full and on off stump, keeps it straight, Tryon back away to smash this over off side but misses it completely. Ends up exposing her off stump. You miss, I hit from Deepti 311/7Extras16 (b 1, w 15)TOTAL314/7 (50 Overs, RR: 6.28)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Lara Goodall, 1.5 ov), 2-70 (Tazmin Brits, 14.6 ov), 3-89 (Miane Smit, 18.5 ov), 4-159 (Nondumiso Shangase, 29.5 ov), 5-188 (Sinalo Jafta, 35.1 ov), 6-260 (Annerie Dercksen, 45.1 ov), 7-311 (Chloe Tryon, 49.1 ov)
