9:01pm They say the stalwarts of the game find a way to stand up just when the big moments call. Today was a massive match for RCB, given their qualification hopes were still up in the air. And guess who stood up? Perry, who had not picked up a wicket all season, produced the best-ever figures in the WPL.

She kept attacking the stumps, with all of her wickets either coming via the lbw route or by hitting the stumps. All of those scalps were top-drawer, and broke the back of the MI innings. Asha, Molineux and Shreyanka were also among the wickets, ensuring that Mumbai were bundled out for a total below 120.

A pretty abject batting display by MI. They had a decent powerplay but crumbled under Perry's craft in the middle overs. Their shot-selection also left a bit to be desired, and things will have to change dramatically in the second innings if they are to keep their hopes of finishing at the top of the table, alive. Join us in a bit for the chase!

Molineux to Ishaque, OUT, another huge appeal, and given! Shortish delivery that pitches outside off and spins back into Ishaque. She has a massive whoosh across the line and gets hit on the back leg. She immediately indicates to her partner that there is no bat involved, and opts for the review just in the nick of time. Looked pretty out prima facie. No bat involved, and Ball Tracking has the ball demolishing the stumps. MI have been rolled over for 113!

Patil to Ismail, OUT, stumped by a mile! Floated up just outside off. Ismail comes down the track and swings hard at it. Gets nowhere close to the ball, largely because it spun away and Ghosh completes the easiest of stumpings!
