- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.4 Renuka strikes in the first over. The finger goes up. Full inswinger from Renuka, bends back into Healy and catches her on the crease. Strikes the front pad below the knee-roll but was the impact in line? Replays indicate that she was struck just in line and Healy has to go 2/18.3 Yes,Vaidya provides India with the breakthrough. She cuts Mooney's innings short at 30. Mooney tries to go over extra-cover, but does not get enough elevation or timing this time. Mooney backs away outside leg and chips it weakly to Verma 69/31.3 Anjali also strikes in her first over, bursting through the weak defences of McGrath. On a length, Anjali gets it to seam back in against the angle from left-arm over. Through the gate and clunks into the top of middle stump. Terrific start for India 5/216.1 Juggling catch at short third. Perry falls 25 shy of a ton. Full and sliding across off from left-arm over. Perry aims to ramp it over short fine or rather short third. She can only miscue it off the back of the bat to Radha Yadav 144/510.6 terrific comeback from Vaidya and India. Gardner uses her feet once again, Vaidya held this one back too. Loopy legbreak, dips creates distance between the bat and pitch. The turn takes it past the bat. Ghosh does the rest 89/418.1 taken at long-off! Harris wasn't going to stop, not in this kind of form, not at this stage of the innings. And the ball is there too. Overpitched outside off. She launches into the aerial hit. But as well as she timed it, it went straight to the fielder 163/717.1 taken at long-on! Seeing Sutherland give her the charge, Deepti digs it short and shifts her line wide of off. Sutherland can only drag it to Radha Yadav 153/619.1 Pops it up to short third. Deepti digs it into the pitch and gets some extra bounce to boot. She aims a reverse-scoop and meekly splices it to Thakur 167/8Extras2 (w 2)TOTAL172/8 (20 Overs, RR: 8.6)Did not bat: D BrownFall of wickets: 1-2 (Alyssa Healy, 0.4 ov), 2-5 (Tahlia McGrath, 1.3 ov), 3-69 (Beth Mooney, 8.3 ov), 4-89 (Ashleigh Gardner, 10.6 ov), 5-144 (Ellyse Perry, 16.1 ov), 6-153 (Annabel Sutherland, 17.1 ov), 7-163 (Grace Harris, 18.1 ov), 8-167 (Nicola Carey, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.2 Caught at mid-off! On a length on off and Mandhana looks to go over mid-off, but doesn't get the connection and that's a simple catch for Sutherland. Early breakthrough for Australia 15/113.3 Gone this time! Shafali looks to pull the length ball away but it goes straight to Gardner, who makes no mistake this time. Carey with the crucial breakthrough for Australia 106/34.4 Brown has a second wicket! Length ball angling into Jemimah and it raps her on the pad as she missed her flick and the umpire has given it. 33/216.2 No mistake this time as Harmanpreet goes for the slog sweep to a full delivery outside off. Doesn't get it as cleanly as she would have wanted to and she is taken at long-on 123/614.1 Chipped back to the bowler and Vaidya walks! Almost a yorker from Gardner and it popped up back to Gardner and there was a half-hearted appeal. Umpire did not seem interested, as it looked like a bump ball, but the batter started to walk. It's been thrown up to the third umpire and replays show that it did indeed come off the bat. 107/414.5 Taken at long-on! Flatter but full around off and Richa looked to slog it down the ground, but didn't connect cleanly and it's gobbled up by Sutherland 113/519.1 Full ball outside off, Radha Yadav steps out and tries to hit it hard and it comes back off her own leg. Radha wanted to run, Deepti turned her away, but Schutt did brilliantly to collect the ball and throw the stumps down at the striker's end.
