Georgia Voll: "It's good fun. The first game, I was pretty disappointed. To get some runs today was nice. We've got a big job to do with the ball. It came out this morning that I was opening. Was happy to open with Gracy today. Got off to a nice start... but we did a nice job to get to 150 in the end. It's spinning a little bit. But it was a silly dismissal from myself. We've got a pretty quality line-up, so hopefully, we can get the job done."

9.06pm Five balls into the eighth over, UPW were 74 without loss. At that stage, they even seemed headed for 200, with all ten wickets intact, and more than 12 overs to go. But from thereon, they lost 7 for 51 in a period of nine overs where MI were up in the clouds, and UPW were sliding and slipping on the floor. UPW eventually needed a useful 16 from Ecclestone from the lower order to take them to 150, with Kerr bagging 5 for 38 for MI. Join us for the chase soon to see where this goes.

Kerr to Ecclestone, OUT, five wickets for Kerr! She angled this ball in, and landed it short on off. The ball turned away and bounced nicely, with Ecclestone looking to pull. The ball only went as far as deep midwicket, though, and ended Ecclestone's handy cameo

Kerr to Sharma, OUT, stumped! Kerr has her fourth! She spots Deepti coming down the track, and fires this on a full length by going wide of off. The ball angled in from around the wicket and straightened. Deepti went swiping at it, but seemed to have been beaten by the ball straightening, and also the bounce. There was enough time for Bhatia to whip the bails off, with Deepti well out

Oh, this is getting heated up! Harmanpreet and the umpire were having a word, but Ecclestone interfered. Harmanpreet, though, seemingly asked Ecclestone to stay away.

Kerr will bowl the last over, for which MI have been penalised for slow over rate.

Ismail to Ecclestone, FOUR, wow, whipped wide of long-on! She is deep in the crease, and is standing with her front leg out of the way. That allows her to attack this very full ball on the stumps, as she goes heaving across the line for four more

Ismail to Ecclestone, FOUR, slapped between point and cover point! The ball was on the shorter side of a length, and around sixth stump. But Ecclestone waited for the ball to arrive, before playing it late and cut it away

Sisodia to Chetry, OUT, the extra ball results in a wicket! The previous ball didn't really look like a wide after that slow-motion replay, but it was given, and Chetry falls next ball. The ball was angled in, and arrived full and outside off. Chetry looked to slog across the line, but only got it as far as long-on. Good, low catch by Ismail

Sisodia to Chetry, 1 wide, she looks to lap this fullish ball pitching on middle and leg, but misses. The ball finished outside leg, but wasn't called wide. UPW review, though. The third umpire says that Chetry had moved across in the crease while looking to lap, but calls it wide eventually
