- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.3 she's caught down the leg-side. Dug in short and into her, but a bit mis-directed, going down leg. Shafali looks to pull from just under her shoulder height, but gets a feather through to the keeper. The short-ball tactic to Shafali continues to work. 31/15.1 sliced straight to point. Fuller outside off going across her, inviting her to drive, she does so with feet not really moving much, bat well away from body. Slices it in the air and Haynes at point is in the thick of it again, and holds on 38/226.1 and strikes first ball! The change works perfectly. Over the wicket, a length ball outside off, Yastika goes for a drive and can't keep it down. Simple catch at point for Haynes 115/337.4 foxed her. Tossed up invitingly, Mithali skips down the track to try and swing it to midwicket, the ball's dipped on her and gone under the bat. Healy with a smart take in front of her face as the ball's bounced a fair bit, and quick to whip off the bails 166/530.3 top edge caught by square leg. Another short ball by Brown results in a wicket. This was a good one, outside off, hurrying Deepti into the pull shot. She wasn't in control of it at all, and the top edge balloons up for an easy catch 129/440.1 chipped to mid-on. Wicket on debut for Darlington.Length ball into her, she closed the face too early and the leading edge pops up for a simple enough take 172/642.5 through her. Movement in the air, she's bowled it on a full length too, swings in and crashes into the stumps through a big gap left between bat and pad as she was looking to drive on the up 178/749.3 and that's that for the Jhulan show. Charged down the track, was aiming to send this to Sydney perhaps, but the ball dips and turns in front of her, and Healy's quick as a flash to whip off the bails. 223/8Extras22 (lb 3, w 19)TOTAL225/8 (50 Overs, RR: 4.5)Did not bat: Poonam YadavFall of wickets: 1-31 (Shafali Verma, 3.3 ov), 2-38 (Smriti Mandhana, 5.1 ov), 3-115 (Yastika Bhatia, 26.1 ov), 4-129 (Deepti Sharma, 30.3 ov), 5-166 (Mithali Raj, 37.4 ov), 6-172 (Pooja Vastrakar, 40.1 ov), 7-178 (Sneh Rana, 42.5 ov), 8-223 (Jhulan Goswami, 49.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR21.2 this time she picks out mid-off. Down the track again to a tossed up ball, can't get quite underneath it, hits it flat, and mid-off is right where she has hit it. End of a fantastic innings, and one that's put Australia on the path to a commanding win. 126/1Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL227/1 (41 Overs, RR: 5.53)Fall of wickets: 1-126 (Alyssa Healy, 21.2 ov)
