5:11pm Wow. Everything seemed to happen in over-drive in that innings. Australia began like a runaway train, with Healy putting the bowlers under pressure early. She could only manage 30 but that baton was taken up by Voll and Perry, both of whom got fifties but failed to kick on to three figures. Mooney did, though, and in the process, produced an absolute clinic of batting. She toyed with the bowling and when she was out there, India were searching (and failing) frantically for answers. Her wicket induced a collapse towards the end, and despite King and Wareham getting a few hits away, Australia, somehow, will be disappointed at having not utilized 13 balls.

A very, very tough day at the office for India. They were put to the sword throughout and looked bereft of ideas for most of the innings. Rana was the most economical bowler of the lot and seemed to have things under control more than her peers. There were wickets for everyone barring Radha, but most of them came after the damage had been done. India now have a monumental and record-breaking run-chase in front of them, although they will be telling themselves that this is a strip where run-scoring is the norm. Sudarshanan will be back in a bit to kick things off!

Reddy to King, OUT, in the air and taken at deep mid wicket! Australia end up with 412, and this is their joint-highest team total in women's ODIs! Right in the slot just outside off. There to be hit and King gives it all she has. Does not muster the timing or the power she wants, though, and only gets height. Rana settles under it at deep mid wicket and does the rest. Australia bowled out with 13 balls left in the innings!

Reddy to King, FOUR, King continues on her merry way! Shortish on middle and off. Sticks in the surface and that meddles with King's timing. She swipes at it and muscles it off the toe-end, right between deep mid wicket and long on. Deep mid wicket was not on the fence, surprisingly

Reddy to King, 1 wide, full and wide, hugging the tramlines. King lets it go and the umpire calls it a wide. Seemed touch-and-go but probably the right call

Reddy to Schutt, 1 run, fullish outside off. Schutt goes chasing for it and slices it towards point. A bit of confusion between the batters but no damage done in the end. Single taken too

Reddy to Garth, OUT, another sharp return catch, and Australia are nine down! Full in and around off stump. Stops a little in the surface and Garth cannot check her shot enough. Straight back at Reddy and she does well to hold on to it smartly. Second wicket for her, and Australia in real danger of being bowled out here!

Renuka Singh to King, FOUR, slow, short and wide, and punished! King is expecting this and sets herself up accordingly. Throws her hands at it and knifes it behind point!

Just the seventh time a team has scored 400 or more in a women's ODI. Australia have done it twice now

Renuka Singh to Wareham, OUT, Wareham bites the dust, and Renuka has two! Another very slow delivery, bowled at 72.6kph. Short too and Wareham thinks she can crash this over cover. Has no pace to work with whatsoever, though, and only manages a tame chip straight to Harmanpreet at extra cover. Wareham is disappointed as she walks off; Renuka, meanwhile, heaves a sigh of relief!

Renuka Singh to Wareham, 1 wide, another attempt to follow Wareham outside leg with a full ball but this is also further down leg. Good work by Ghosh again to ensure it is just a solitary extra

Sharma to Harris, OUT, that is an outrageous grab, and India, out of nowhere, have three wickets! Floated up full just outside off. Harris plants her front foot and smashes it back towards Deepti. She flings out her left mitt and makes it stick right in the centre of her palms. Astonishing catch that and Australia, all of a sudden, are seven down!
