    17.5 Another one bites the dust. Gunaratne goes now, courtesy of a run out. Flatter outside off, she carves this to cover-point. Some miscommunication as Gunaratne ventures out of her crease. And that was enough for Gaud to fire a flat throw with Ghosh doing the rest 103/4
    2.5 Cleans her up with a peach! The change of angle does the trick for Gaud. Gets the ball to seam back into Chamari at 109.2kph. The ball sneaks between bat and pad and Chamari sees her stumps in a mess. Big first strike for India 18/1
    9.1 The dropped catch doesn't cost India much as Deepti strikes immediately. Much slower through the air on middle, she attempts a reverse again and gets a good chunk on it but hits it straight to Gaud who makes no mistake at short third 49/2
    15.3 Cleans her up! Much, much quicker from Charani at 95.4kph on middle stump. You miss, I hit and Charani has hit. Samarawickrama looks for a reverse, misses and sees her stumps in a mess 87/3
    18.3 Another run out appeal. Does the dive save Nilakshika or is her bat in the air? Lots of things to check for the third umpire. Length ball outside off, she drives to long-off's left and rushes back for the second. Amanjot fires a good, flat throw to the striker's end. Ghosh whips off the bails quickly as Nilakshika dives to make it in. Her bat is in the air for a while but is it grounded at any point when the bails come off is the question. The third umpire is looking at different angles. Looks mighty close. Matter of frames here. The third umpire has taken her time and goes in favour of the fielding team. She reckons the bat was not grounded when the bails were whipped off. OUT is the signal and Nilakshika walks back 108/5
    19.6 A run out to close the innings and Sri Lanka end with 121 for 6. A below par score it must be said. Quicker on middle and leg, she drags this to deep backward square leg. They pushed for a second but a good throw from Shree Charani meant Dilhari was well short despite the dive 121/6
