6:30pm Terrific fightback from India - 36 for 5 in the last five overs means they have restricted Australia to a total they can be confident of chasing. It was Renuka again who stood out with 2 for 25 off her four overs. Rana also picked up a couple although she was expensive. Mooney continued her big-match batting performance, stroking yet another fluent half-century before Deepti's splendid catch brought curtains. Yes, India's fielding played its crucial bit as well. India never allowed Australia to get away - even when Lanning and Mooney added 74 for the second wicket, which means, the chase is on! Alan will be back soon with the reply.

Vinod Rajpal: "1.35 runs per ball is all Team India needs to have gold in their hand after around 100 minutes from now !"

Akram: "4 out of the 8 wickets have come due to moments of magical fielding !"

Sharma to Haynes, 2 runs, Full on leg, she gets down and sweeps it through backward square leg for two. Just five in the last over and Australia finish on 161 for 8.

Sharma to Schutt, 1 run, Schutt hits it aerially towards deep midwicket and wants two but Harmanpreet does well to keep it to just one.

Sharma to Haynes, no run, Haynes charges down and yorks herself and digs it back towards the bowler.

India clawing their way back with regular strikes and it's Megan Schutt in the middle now. Off strike though.

Sharma to Jonassen, OUT, Direct hit at the bowler's end but Jonassen's dive might have saved her. She pushes the full ball straight to mid-off and hares to the other end. Mandhana had enough time to take her time and hit and she does. And Jonassen is short despite the dive.

Yadav to Haynes, FOUR, Rodrigues' valiant effort in the deep in vain. She covers a lot of ground to her right from deep midwicket and puts in a full-fledged dive but only manages to get her fingertips to it. Haynes' connected well after coming down the track in her heave.

Yadav to Jonassen, 1 run, Turns it through midwicket to get going.

Rachit : "How did Haynes got the strike? According to the new rule the new batter should have got the strike ?" The new rule will come into force from October.

Rana to Haynes, SIX, This is clean as a whistle. Tossed up full on off, she clears her front leg and hits it cleanly over long-on.

Alana King. At the non-strikers.

Rana to Mooney, OUT, Deepti's hand of god moment!? She backtracks from mid-on and just sticks out her right arm even as she was losing balance. But what she did crucially well was having her eyes on the ball. The ball sticks and stays there despite the tumble. It is a massive wicket as Mooney walks back. She looked to hack one across the line but only managed to miscue it.

BL Mooney c Sharma b Rana 61 (41b 8x4 0x6) SR: 148.78

Rana to Mooney, FOUR, Mooney splits the gap perfectly at sweeper. Charges down to the flighted ball and connects it well. Long-off and deep cover couldn't get to it.

Fayaz: "Alot depends on how mooney bats from now on. If she can stay till the end, AUS can go fast 170, which will b a fighting total. Anything below 170 will b comparatively easy for IND to chase it down..."

Renuka Singh to Haynes, 2 runs, Yorker outside off, squeezed through extra cover. Excellent running by the two left-handers get them two.

Renuka Singh to Harris, OUT, This is more height and no distance. Renuka strikes and bags her second. Fuller one outside off, slower as well perhaps. Harris wanted to tonk it but ends up skying it off the toe end. Meghna runs to her left from midwicket to take that safely. Not an easy one considering she had to run backwards as well.

GM Harris c Meghna Singh b Renuka Singh 2 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00
