Madara to Mandhana, (no ball) 1 run, Reprieve for Mandhana second ball! Back of a length ball on middle, the ball sticks onto the surface and that means Mandhana is early into her pull. The ball spoons straight up over midwicket. She runs back and gets nowhere near it. As it turns out, it wouldn't have mattered as Madara has overstepped.
