- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR68.1 caught at a catching mid off! Mandhana departs! She fell for the trap. McGrath was placed at a catching mid off near the bowler, Gardner looped up a lovely tempter outside off, Mandhana skipped out but it just dropped on her late, she drove on the up but hit it in the air straight to McGrath and Australia finally take the chance on offer. 195/225.1 sliced to mid off! Finally a catch is held by McGrath. Molineux deserved this. Flighted it up, drifting in, Verma tries to swipe this against the spin over mid on, it skews off the outer half of the bat and floats to mid off, McGrath drops to her knees and cradles the gift of a catch. 93/180.4 Punam has walked off! She has given herself out caught behind! Beautiful delivery, outside off, lured Punam Raut into a defensive stroke away from her body, it spun and bounced and must have brushed the edge. Healy and Lanning went up. The umpire said not out and Punam just walked off. She could have easily stayed and the not out decision would have remained with no DRS. 217/398.1 she could be run out here with a direct hit And she is short of the crease. Great work by Sutherland at midwicket. Length ball on the stumps, was tapped softly to Sutherland's right, who was swooping in. Raj thought there was a single there and set off, was sent back. A bit slow to turn and get back, might have slipped a bit too, and by the time she's turned and tried to get back, Sutherland has rifled in a superb throw that's lit up the stumps. A wicket created out of nothing. 274/592.5 leading edge caught by Mooney diving forward at gully. After threatening for so long, Ellyse Perry finally has a wicket. Full ball tailing into her a tad on leg stump, and I think it straightened a bit after pitching. She was too early in trying to flick it, gets a leading edge that lobs up and is dying on Mooney, who has to dive forward and grab it inches off the ground. 261/4143.4 given lbw! Short of a length, this doesn't get up anything like Sharma expected, went for the pull and gets taken on the back leg. Think that pitched outside leg, it was so short. Yep, outside leg by a long way 369/8126.2 poked through to the keeper. First Test wicket for Campbell. Good bowling, pitched on back of a length on off stump, gets it to nip away off the seam, and Taniya ends up feeling for it with feet static, gets a goodish edge that travels straight into the keeper's gloves. 319/6142.3 brilliantly caught by Mooney at gully 300th international wicket for Ellyse Perry. This was bowled on a sixth stump line, Vastrakar looking to drive forcefully through cover, gets an outside edge that flies to Mooney's left, she dives and takes it one-handed. 359/7Extras24 (b 3, lb 6, nb 2, w 13)TOTAL377/8d (145 Overs, RR: 2.6)Did not bat: RS GayakwadFall of wickets: 1-93 (Shafali Verma, 25.1 ov), 2-195 (Smriti Mandhana, 68.1 ov), 3-217 (Punam Raut, 80.4 ov), 4-261 (Yastika Bhatia, 92.5 ov), 5-274 (Mithali Raj, 98.1 ov), 6-319 (Taniya Bhatia, 126.2 ov), 7-359 (Pooja Vastrakar, 142.3 ov), 8-369 (Deepti Sharma, 143.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR22.4 she's nicked it to the keeper. Magnificent line and bowling. Kept this on that perfect length where the batter is uncertain whether to go front or back, gets a hint of movement away too, Healy is prodding forward, gets a faint but audible edge that the keeper gobbles up. 63/26.4 cleaned her up! Goswami strikes. Full and straight, shaping back at the left hander, Mooney aiming to whip it through the leg side, gets an inside edge and into leg stump 14/132.1 given, huge moment! Vastrakar with a massive breakthrough. Good length, nips back, looks straight but appears there was an inside edge. The line for the lbw looked good, but there was bat involved. 80/349.4 she's cut this straight to point. Short and wide outside off, she lays into that, doesn't bother to keep it down, and it goes right down the fielder's throat. She'll not be happy with herself, could have hit that anywhere. 119/478.3 taken at mid-off! India have their breakthrough. Tossed up outside off, comes down the pitch and drives but sends a skimming, low catch to the captain who takes it well 208/583.5 nicks it behind. That's a peach of an outswinger. First Test wicket for Meghna too. The perfect length and line to have Sutherland coming on the front foot to defend, shapes away just the right amount to kiss the edge of the bat and go through to the keeper. 216/687.5 trapped in front. This is skilfull bowling by a young pacer. She's got the gift of making the ball move, and when the line threatens the stumps and the length is such that the batter isn't comfortable coming decisively forward or back, this is what happens - Molineux caught on the crease to one that comes back in and hits her pads. 220/790.5 edged behind. India continue to make inroads even as Australia are within touching distance of the follow-on. This was on a fourth-fifth stump line, shaping slightly away, she could have left it alone but opted to make a big stride out to defend. The shape means it takes a think snick off the shoulder of the bat and settles into the keeper's gloves. 223/895.6 plumb in front. Arm ball on the stumps, she was looking for a big swipe across the line by going deep and opening her stance, it skids on and raps her right in front of the stumps. 240/9Extras8 (lb 6, nb 1, w 1)TOTAL241/9d (96.4 Overs, RR: 2.49)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Beth Mooney, 6.4 ov), 2-63 (Alyssa Healy, 22.4 ov), 3-80 (Meg Lanning, 32.1 ov), 4-119 (Tahlia McGrath, 49.4 ov), 5-208 (Ashleigh Gardner, 78.3 ov), 6-216 (Annabel Sutherland, 83.5 ov), 7-220 (Sophie Molineux, 87.5 ov), 8-223 (Georgia Wareham, 90.5 ov), 9-240 (Darcie Brown, 95.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR33.2 given lbw! Wareham has her maiden Test wicket. Full at middle and leg, Verma trapped on the crease. Looked a little leg-side but the finger goes up. Replay shows it's very plumb! 122/317.5 magnificently caught at deep midwicket by Gardner. This was in the slot to slog-sweep and Mandhana connected quite well. That ball seemed to be heading to the boundary, but Gardner sprinted to her right from a very square position and dived full length to pluck the ball inches from the ground. Stunning bit of fielding that. 70/120.3 gone through She was pushing forward to that, but Gardner gets the ball to drift in nicely, pitches and goes straight on. There's a gap between bat and pad with Yastika pushing forward and the ball bursts through that to shatter stumps. 74/2Extras5 (b 5)TOTAL135/3d (37 Overs, RR: 3.64)Fall of wickets: 1-70 (Smriti Mandhana, 17.5 ov), 2-74 (Yastika Bhatia, 20.3 ov), 3-122 (Shafali Verma, 33.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.3 dragged on! Goswami gets Healy again. Short of a length outside off, Healy looking to drive through the off side, takes the bottom edge into off stump 8/19.5 top edge, taken at long leg! Vastrakar has been so impressive.
