- BATSMENRB4s6sSR8.6 and Muneeba chips it back to Rana. Brilliant over for India, and a huge blow for Pakistan as Muneeba departs. Soft dismissal, caught it high on the bat and Rana could not have dreamed of an easier catch 51/31.3 and the pressure pays off! After all those swishing past the outside edge, this one kisses the edge as Iram looks to drive on the up. The keeper takes a straightforward catch, and India draw first blood 0/18.3 tried to sweep but misses it completely. It's plumb in front, but Bismah has gone for the review. She'll burn it, I suspect. 50/214.5 fullish, quite wide outside off. Mistimed cut to point, and Omaima takes off for one with Aliya also running. But then Aliya stops (perhaps rightly since there was no run), and Omaima knows there's no use turning back for her. A lob to the bowler, and that's run out! 80/511.3 full on leg stump. She gets low and tries for the big slog over leg side. Mistimed, ball goes high up, and Rodrigues runs in from deep midwicket to take a sharp catch 64/416.5 direct hit from mid off! Smacks this ball straight past the bowler's left to mid off, and Riaz takes off for the single. But the throw is aimed at the base of off stump, and S Meghana's strong arm has given India another run out wicket! 96/616.6 soft signal out! What's happened here?`Looks like Shafali may have taken a stunning caught and bowled. Full ball just outside off, and slapped back straight. Shafali gets low, dives to her right, and takes a stunning catch, ensuring that her fingers were wrapped under the ball before they grazed the pitch. Looks conclusive, and the screen at the ground confirms it! 96/717.6 99 all out! Tosses it up, gives it proper air. Full on middle, and she comes down the ground for a slog. Ball goes under the bat, and the delivery crashes into off and middle stump. India need an even 100 to win 99/1017.2 We don't even need to go upstairs! Tosses it up, full on off. Takes pace off, and Diana comes down the track for a slog sweep. Misses, and she is out of her crease by a fair distance 97/817.5 full outside off. She comes down the ground and drags a shot to wide long on. They come back for two, perhaps for the best since only one ball is left after this, but that means that Tuba is run out! Did the right thing trying to take the second, but the throw was next to the stumps, and Radha collects sharply before breaking the stumps. Umpire Kim doesn't bother going upstairs.

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.5 nicks off, and Tuba strikes for Pakistan. Tried to slice it away to the offside, gets a thick outside edge for Muneeba to take a smart catch behind the stumps 61/110.4 bowled her! Classical offspinner's wicket. Tosses it up just outside off. Meghana comes down the ground for a glory shot. Deceived, ball turns past the inside edge, and her middle stump is flattened. 94/2Extras7 (b 2, lb 1, w 4)TOTAL102/2 (11.4 Overs, RR: 8.74)Fall of wickets: 1-61 (Shafali Verma, 5.5 ov), 2-94 (Sabbhineni Meghana, 10.4 ov)
