- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR30.2 catch it is the cry, and Perry will catch that eight days in a week! Slowed up nicely on a length on middle and leg. Rawal thinks this is the ball that helps her break free and gets down on one knee. Slogs at it but only gets the height she wants. Perry circles under it at deep mid wicket and makes no mistake whatsoever. Rawal, who started off promisingly but then struggled, has to walk back for a 96-ball 64! 142/221.3 massive mix-up, and Mandhana has to trudge off! She is livid with her partner, and that is just what India would not have wanted! Back of a length outside off. Mandhana stands up tall and slaps it towards extra cover. She takes off for the single and Rawal, ball-watching, takes a step or two as well. Rawal then says no, though, and Mandhana gets sold down the river. No way she can make it back and Litchfield, who did brilliantly to field it and cause the confusion, fires in a direct hit at the batter's end to break this ominous-looking stand! 114/140.1 gone! Comes down the pitch, swings across the line, swift work from Healy behind the stumps. Key wicket. Leg-cutter from Schutt, perhaps didn't quite bounce 207/433.4 big lbw shout, and given! Sutherland gets the big fish! Pushed in on a length on off stump and this decks back in sharply. Harmanpreet, caught on the crease, plays down the wrong line and gets pinned on the back leg. Seemed pretty adjacent in real-time but Harmanpreet has taken this upstairs. No bat involved. The only thing that could save Harmanpreet is if the ball did too much. Ball Tracking comes up and reckons it did not. Crashing into leg stump, and India's skipper is outta here! 161/342.6 and the over end with a wicket! No alarm sounds. Rodrigues goes down on the back knee, swings across the line, gets a top edge to short fine leg 232/545.4 full toss, heaved out to deep midwicket! Superbly taken running around the rope by Gardner. Fully aware of where she was. Another important blow late in the innings. 244/649.2 shuffles outside leg stump, then lofts down the ground but can only picked out long-on. Again, pace-off variations working nicely.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.5 chopped on, and Goud sends back the Australia captain! Back of a length outside off and this seems to seam back in just a smidgen. Might have kept a touch low too and Healy, trying to force it through the off side, only manages an inside edge that cannons into the base of middle and leg stump. Healy throws her head back in disappointment; Goud looks up to the heavens, and this is a big moment early in the chase! 45/126.5 top edge, taken this time! No century for Litchfield. The reverse sweep brings her downfall. This one went straight up in the air and the substitute Reddy settles under the catch 166/219.6 on the back foot, drives square into the covers 124/1Extras6 (lb 1, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL282/2 (44.1 Overs, RR: 6.38)Fall of wickets: 1-45 (Alyssa Healy, 6.5 ov), 1-124* (Ellyse Perry, retired not out ), 2-166 (Phoebe Litchfield, 26.5 ov)
