    31.6 given out attempting a cute paddle. Mandhana reviews but she has a sheepish look that suggests it was more out of optimism than hope. Oh, yes. Absolutely plumb. Mandhana looked to get inside the line and paddle but missed this in-drifter. Ball tracking confirms this would've smashed into middle-and-off. Wonder how much of Harleen struggling to score freely brought about Mandhana's downfall in trying to manufacture runs. Out for the 90s for the second time this year, sixth overall. India burn a review. 160/2
    23.2 oh my word - what a grab that is! An absolute worldie! Gives this a bit of air on a length outside off. Rawal gets deceived in the flight and has to go poking in front of her pads. Chips it towards Matthews, who flies to her left and flings out her left mitt to make it stick. Gets up, throws the ball up in celebration and reacts as if nothing has happened. Well, if you have the talent Matthews has, maybe it is routine. A real moment of magic to break this partnership and give West Indies a sniff! 110/1

    40.4 chopped on! Deol's cameo comes to an end! Angled in on a back of a length just outside off. Deol has a massive swipe across the line and that was the wrong choice, given the low bounce and the inward angle. Tried to hit it too square and all she managed was an inside edge onto the stumps. Falls six short of what would have been her third ODI fifty! 226/3
    41.5 oh dear - that is a shocking bit of running! Back of a length outside off. Ghosh has a waft at it away from her body and gets a thick outside edge. Ghosh makes the unanimous decision of running the single and does not look at her partner at all. Harmanpreet eventually goes through after a bit of ball-watching but is nowhere close to making it at the batter's end. Good work by Fletcher, diving to her left at short third and that is perhaps what caused the confusion of whether the run was on or not. Ghosh could have looked at her partner earlier, Harmanpreet could have said no earlier - either way, India lose a crucial wicket! 237/4
    43.5 goes straight up, and taken! Richa Ghosh's party is over! Matthews dangles the carrot on a length just outside off and Ghosh, unsurprisingly, bites. She is not quite to the pitch of this, though, which combined with the extra bounce Matthews gets, brings the top edge into play. Loops up and Connell, running to her right from short fine leg, makes no mistake! 264/5
    47.4 knocks her over! Slanted in on a length, pitching just outside off. Comes in with the arm and that flummoxes Rodrigues, who is looking to go inside-out. Only manages a fresh-air swish and hears the death rattle of off stump soon after. This scalp could make a difference of 10-15 runs! 297/6

    47.6 plumb with a capital P! Fired in on a back of a length on middle and off. Saima gets caught on the crease and then plays all around it. Looked pretty adjacent but Saima, after a word with Deepti, has reviewed. Possibly a review because India can still afford one. The ball has missed the bat by a mile. It is missing leg stump too. And off stump as well. Because it is smashing into middle stump. Pretty ordinary review, and India are now seven down! 301/7
    49.1 soft, soft dismissal! Darted in on a length on off. Seems to hold in the surface and that meddles with Sadhu's timing. She cloths it badly and Joseph does the rest at extra cover. James with her fourth, and Deepti remains off strike! 309/8
    49.3 James has five, and India are nine down! Given a bit of air just outside off. Renuka skips down the track, looking to smash it into next week. Makes a complete hash of it, though, and arrows it straight down long on's throat. Deepti continues to be at the non-striker's end, and India a little guilty of not making the most of these last few overs... 309/9

    2.1 Ghosh goes up, but the umpire's finger does not. Ghosh wants the review, and Harmanpreet gives in to it, eventually! Length ball hung up wide outside off. Matthews, looking at the width, goes chasing after it. Seems to miss it but India and Ghosh, in particular, think otherwise. The ball is quite close to the bat and there is indeed a spike. A clear spike, in fact, and Ghosh's gut feeling has worked a charm here. India have another and this time, it is the big fish! 3/2
    0.1 oh dear - that is the worst possible start for West Indies! Back of a length, starting outside off and boomeranging back into Matthews. She jabs it into the off side and calls for the single. Joseph responds late and then seems to be running on quicksand. Rodrigues' throw is right at the stumps and Ghosh takes off the bails, with Joseph well short. Not sure why Joseph never went at full tilt, or if she was not ready at all, or if she just did not fancy it. A horrendous moment right at the start of the innings, and India are on the board within no time! 0/1
    5.2 cleans her up with an absolute corker! Length ball that starts just outside off before decking back in sharply off the seam. Williams goes searching for it and leaves a massive gap between bat and ball. The ball bursts through and leaves the stumps in a mess. Sadhu has one, Renuka has two, India have four! 11/4
    4.6 stumps shattered, and Dottin has to walk back! Back of a length, slanting into off stump. Dottin has a wild slog across the line and loses her shape completely. Only swats away a few flies and the ball crashes into middle and off stump. A slight check for a No ball but everything fine on that count. India are all over West Indies like a rash! 11/3
    20.1 and Renuka indeed gets her five-wicket haul! A maiden five-for in ODI cricket and she gets mobbed by her teammates, and rightly so! Hard length outside off. Campbelle, knowing she has to do much of the run-scoring, hacks across the line. Cloths it and the ball spoons up to Harmanpreet, who bags a regulation chance. West Indies on the brink! 66/8
    10.6 what a stunner from Harmanpreet! Alleyne looks to clear mid-on and hits it pretty well, but Harmanpreet times her jump superbly. That's just half the job though, it still needs her to use her height for the full stretch to pluck the one-handed stunner. The ball was travelling. 26/5
    12.6 it's the devious in-swing from Renuka that does the job again! Movement in the air, and wicked inward movement off the seam to beat Gajnabi's waft as the stumps take an absolute beating. If you can beat the inside edge like that, you'll always be a threat. Top-class bowling 34/6
    17.4 got into all sorts of a tangle there and gone! Priya Mishra foxes her in flight. This is a wrong'un, Zaida looks to sweep initially bur realises it's way too full and then quickly tries to change her mind and defend, but by then the ball has drifted and hit the pad. Given out on field and James reviews, but ball tracking confirms this would've hit the middle of middle. 52/7

    23.3 number nine goes down! Deepti tosses it up on middle and leg, and Ramharack cannot resist the temptation to take her downtown. Gets nowhere close to the pitch of the ball, and it drops enough in front of her to skew off the toe-end. Simple catch to Renuka at mid on! 84/9
    26.2 goes straight up, and that will be that! The annihilation is complete, and India have obliterated West Indies by 211 runs - their biggest win over them in terms of runs in a women's ODI! Fizzed through full, just outside off. Drifts in enough before gripping and spinning away. Connell, trying to tug it to leg, gets a tame leading edge and Rodrigues snares the chance at extra cover to put West Indies out of their misery! 103/10
