5.31pm A total of 274 to defend for a semi-final spot. It looks respectable but the way India were batting earlier it looks below-par now. South Africa have done extremely well with their constant bowling changes, pace variations and bouncers to restrict the flow of runs in the last 10 overs. They've given away just 51 in the last 10 overs. Shafali was looking really dangerous earlier before her run-out slowed down India, and India were looking good for 300 or so till Mithali Raj was around, but once she got out, India, especially Harmanpreet, struggled for timing and couldn't go big in the last 10 overs. Ekanth will start the chase in about half hour to see if India will make the semis or not. Remember, Jhulan Goswami is out today with a side strain

Shafali Verma: I'm very happy with my knock because I'm always thinking about what the team wants and I got some runs. I was thinking to time the ball against their fast bowling so I did that well. My run-out was a misunderstanding [with Smriti Mandhana], I can't say it's my or her mistake. It's cricket, it happens all the time. We have a very good score and our bowlers will do a good job today.

Rupam: "Too many dots in the last 10. India were looking set for 295 . Good bowling from SA. Good use of the short balls. Should be a great 2nd innings."

Kamal: "India had a great chance to give 20-25 runs extra to give bowlers an extra chance to cover-up Julan's absence. I think India lost that advantage."

Rahoul: "Indian spinners are good.. But the way SA batted through out series.. Need early wicket by pacers.. "

Khemlani : "As I see it India are about 25 runs short. Let's hope that is not the case. Keeping my fingers crossed Go India!"

Divanshu: "I think India have found the key here, take place off the ball! If they stick to that combines with tight fielding, this total can be at par."

Last ball coming up

Three balls to go, Deepti Sharma at No. 9 today

PK: "Ismail is really good bowler with serious pace. I think India has really handled her well "

South Africa have kept it really tight. And here's a surprise, neither Klaas nor Kapp for the last over. It's Khaka who has been expensive so far. Four in the deep on the leg side

South Africa may not mind it much, it's a dot ball anyway

Just a single so far

That might have been the fastest ball of the tournament

Sneh Rana is the new batter

Rahul : "A good plot is never lost...10 balls left and definitely up for 285!!"

India losing the plot in the end overs because South Africa have taken the pace off the ball and Harmanpreet has been struggling for timing today

Joydeep: "Now India will have to win this match at any cost cuz eng have almostly qualified into semis"

Praveen Kumar: "@Vishal why rule out klass for last over" Apologies, that's also possible

Sheel: "2 good overs and India can touch 290! Come on Harman!"

Ismail and Kapp will bowl the last two. Mid-on and mid-off in the deep, expect some slower ones as India eye a strong finish
