- BATSMENRB4s6sSR11.3 there's the first wicket, relief for India! Length outside off, Wyatt backed away and slapped straight to Mandhana at extra cover. Looked to hit it up and over, didn't get the elevation. 89/119.3 deceived by the flight and guile as she stepped out to loft over cover, simple stumping by Bhatia. 157/413.1 she's hit this straight to square leg. Once again fetched this tossed up delivery from outside off, didn't get enough power. Had to hit it from too far outside, ended up dragging it. 95/219 lofted but can only hit it as far as long-on. Big wicket for India, but has it come a little too late? 154/3Extras13 (b 4, lb 7, w 2)TOTAL160/4 (20 Overs, RR: 8)Fall of wickets: 1-89 (Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 11.3 ov), 2-95 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 13.1 ov), 3-154 (Heather Knight, 18.6 ov), 4-157 (Tammy Beaumont, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.2 nicks one behind off a thin inside edge! This one nipped back in, she had no clue, played outside the line. Surprised by the movement as much as it did, never easy because the keeper has to suddenly change tracks, but Beaumont did wonderfully well to dive to her left to snatch that 21/13.2 straight down long-on's throat. If ever there was a wicket well-planned and deserved, it's this. Long-on was wide, specifically for this, Mandhana walks across and wallops this off a length, almost as if she didn't know a fielder existed there. Well done, Linsey Smith. Mandhana is gone and that's a body blow to India's chances already 23/23.3 huge appeal and gone! Snuffed out down leg. Faintest of tickles. This was slipping down leg, Jemimah was looking to work it fine. India in deep trouble 23/38.4 shot out of desperation, frustration and Mithali has perished! Looks to hoick across the line, gets a leading edge and it's taken safely at cover. India slide further 41/410 looks to clear mid-off but there's no timing and she's found the fielder. Intent right, execution wrong. 46/514.5 lofted but no timing and it's a simple catch to mid-off. Bat face turned in her hand as she made contact. 76/6Extras22 (lb 4, w 18)TOTAL119/6 (20 Overs, RR: 5.95)Fall of wickets: 1-21 (Harleen Deol, 2.2 ov), 2-23 (Smriti Mandhana, 3.2 ov), 3-23 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 3.3 ov), 4-41 (Mithali Raj, 8.4 ov), 5-46 (Veda Krishnamurthy, 9.6 ov), 6-76 (Arundhati Reddy, 14.5 ov)
