- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.6 Gets the reverse sweep out, does not get any connection and is rapped on the pads. Deepti appeals but the impact was outside off. 42/13.3 Straight up and straight in! Mooney was seemingly getting frustrated and Deepti sensing this loops this up. Mooney is down the track again, but does not reach the pitch of it. Looks to loft it over mid-on but does not get any power behind it. Shafali takes a couple of steps back and pouches a simple catch. 24/16.5 Plays all around it and India now certainly in this! McGrath has been getting across all innings, a bit too much. Radha notices this and pushes this quicker on the stumps. McGrath looks for a sweep, instead almost yorks herself and sees her stumps in a mess. 46/216.4 Deepti does the magic, again! This is top bowling. Loops it up well outside off. Gardner dances down, but she had to fetch it from outside off, and that meant she couldn't quite get the required connection. Mistimes it as far as Harleen Deol at long on, who pouches it comfortably. 140/3Extras6 (b 2, lb 1, w 3)TOTAL188/3 (20 Overs, RR: 9.4)Fall of wickets: 1-24 (Beth Mooney, 3.3 ov), 1-42* (Alyssa Healy, retired not out ), 2-46 (Tahlia McGrath, 6.5 ov), 3-140 (Ashleigh Gardner, 16.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.4 Gardner strikes! Looped up outside off, it turns away sharply from Mandhana and gets a thin edge and Mooney makes no mistake. Big blow for India. That was a lovely delivery, drawing the batter forward and just getting the edge 23/15.4 Taken at mid-off this time! Length ball on off and Shafali looked to back away and hit it over mid-off, but Ellyse Perry takes a very good catch tracking back. Tumbles behind, but does not fumble the ball! 43/26.6 Paddled up straight to fine-leg! Full ball on leg, Jemimah looked to move across and play the paddle, but doesn't time it well at all and it lobs up for a simple catch to Darcie Brown 49/314.3 That's the big wicket! Harmanpreet goes for another sweep as King drags her length back. Gets a top-edge this time and it lobs up straight to Darcie Brown at short fine leg 121/417.2 On a length on off from around the wicket and Vaidya comes down the track but it spins away and Mooney is quick to take the bails off! 149/5Extras7 (b 4, lb 1, w 2)TOTAL181/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.05)Fall of wickets: 1-23 (Smriti Mandhana, 2.4 ov), 2-43 (Shafali Verma, 5.4 ov), 3-49 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 6.6 ov), 4-121 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 14.3 ov), 5-149 (Devika Vaidya, 17.2 ov)
