1.13pm Sri Lanka can't finish their full quota - a decent performance considering their talisman captain was out for 2. But given the surface, the turn on offer, and how two-paced the deck is, India will know they will have to bat smartly to get this. And remember, there's no Mithali Raj to rescue them anymore.

India will be happy that Deepti Sharma is back among the wickets. She finishes with three, as does Renuka Singh who impressed with her change-up deliveries. Harmanpreet was impressive with her own control over her bowling, going at an economy of under 2.

For Sri Lanka, Nilakshi de Silva the standout batter with her 43, but it was Hasini Perera's burst of 37 in the powerplay that really ensured the scoreboard was ticking after Athapaththu's early dismissal. They'll be disappointed with two ducks among their top five batters though. We'll be back in 25 minutes with India's chase.

Vastrakar to Ranaweera, OUT, is that out? The front-on umpire wants to consult with his partner on the leg side. This was a short ball, around leg stump or just outside leg. Ranaweera swivels to pull, but it goes under her glove to the keeper. Keeper Yastika dived low to her right to hold the ball. Umpire says soft signal is out so he was unsure if the catch was clean but is sure of the glove. What does the TV umpire say? Replays suggest that it clean. Ranaweera will have to go.

Vastrakar to Ranaweera, no run, run out? No, non-striker scurries back. Ranaweera worked this to square leg but refused the single

SL have enjoyed Vastrakar's extra pace today in general. Probably why Harmanpreet hasn't used her much today, this is her fifth over.
