- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.1 And she strikes with her first ball! Slower ball on a length outside off, Mooney comes down the track and looks to drive it on the off-side, but she can only manage to chop it on to her stumps. 8/13.3 Gone this time! Pulls her length back just a little bit from the previous delivery and Litchfield comes down the track again and is beaten again, and it's a simple stumping for Richa Ghosh 17/27.5 And Shafali has her revenge straight away! Tossed up on a length outside off as she came down the track to drive it. But the ball spun in sharply past the bat and Richa was quick to take the bails off 55/39.4 Straight to Harleen Deol at long-on! Flighted up around off and Perry comes down the track to hit it aerially down the ground. But she hasn't got enough of it and even though it pops out of her hands in the first attempt, Harleen holds on after a juggling act. Big wicket, that for India, given the kind of form Perry has been in 67/4Extras9 (b 4, w 5)TOTAL196/4 (20 Overs, RR: 9.8)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Beth Mooney, 1.1 ov), 2-17 (Phoebe Litchfield, 3.3 ov), 3-55 (Tahlia McGrath, 7.5 ov), 4-67 (Ellyse Perry, 9.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.4 Finds Grace Harris at forward square! That was a fuller delivery on leg and Mandhana looks to flick it away, but hits it right to the fielder and Harris takes a sharp, low catch. Big blow for the hosts 4/14.2 Skied and this time, it's taken! Tossed up invitingly outside off and Shafali Verma steps out and hits it, but it doesn't come off the middle. Annabel Sutherland settles underneath it at long-on and takes the catch 24/26.2 Huge mix-up and Harleen is run out! Dropped short on leg again, Harleen Deol backs away and cuts it to cover and takes off for the run that was never there and is turned back. She can't get back in time and a promising knock comes to an end! 47/38.1 Loud appeal and given! Harmanpreet looked to flick away a length ball that was angling into her from outside off, but she misses her shot and is rapped on the front pad. Sutherland strikes with her first ball of the match! 58/49.2 Great catch at wide long-on! That was on a length around off and Ghosh's eyes lit up as she swung hard at it. It almost cleared the fielder in the deep too, but Heather Graham leaps in the air, her arms at full stretch above her, and holds on and manages to keep her balance after landing too. 70/519.6 looks to clear the ropes but can only hit this as far as long-off. 142/1012.5 undone by the lack of pace. Steps out to whip this into the leg side, through with the shot even before the ball arrived. Also ended up yorking herself against this knuckleball. Easiest of stumpings from Mooney. It's all but over for them. 88/612.6 bowled! Plays all around a length ball outside off, the ball nips back in to beat the bat and crash into the stumps. 88/718.2 swung into the leg side but there's no timing and deep midwicket takes a dolly. 130/819.1 cleaned up and that's a hat-trick! This length ball skids back in from middle to beat the inside edge and crash into the stumps. Graham can't believe it. All said a harmless delivery that could've been played back down the pitch. But Graham ain't complaining, is she? Hat-trick across two overs. Dream figures of 3-3 so far. Can she nip out one more for four in four? 137/9Extras8 (nb 1, w 7)TOTAL142 all out (20 Overs, RR: 7.1)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Smriti Mandhana, 0.4 ov), 2-24 (Shafali Verma, 4.2 ov), 3-47 (Harleen Deol, 6.2 ov), 4-58 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 8.1 ov), 5-70 (Richa Ghosh, 9.2 ov), 6-88 (Devika Vaidya, 12.5 ov), 7-88 (Radha Yadav, 12.6 ov), 8-130 (Anjali Sarvani, 18.2 ov), 9-137 (Renuka Singh, 19.1 ov), 10-142 (Deepti Sharma, 19.6 ov)
