- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR31.6 taken at mid-off, that's an excellent diving catch from Chloe Tryon! Mandhana swings against the full ball on off, it lacks pace and she ends up miscuing it, and Tryon goes back and to her right with a sprint before sliding full length to her right and gets both hands under it. She knows what a spectacular catch it is, and she flicks it away with her left hand in celebration 176/314.6 horrible mix-up for India and that's the end of the dangerous Shafali Verma! Mandhana clipped the ball to midwicket and wanted a single, she called for it, Shafali says no, but she sees Mandhana coming down confidently and changes her mind to take a few steps and then realises it's too late. Mandhana is three-fourths down the pitch, Shafali has barely crossed her, and the fielder only has to pick up and throw the ball to the keeper. The umpire is checking if the two batters crossed when the bails were taken off, and replays show Shafali had just crossed Mandhana 91/116.3 she's played on down the leg side, off a full toss that was going for a wide! Full down leg, the most innocuous delivery one could think of, Bhatia sweeps but the ball takes the edge and goes straight to the stumps 96/242.3 another good catch from Tryon and Klaas removes the well-set Mithali Raj. She wanted some quick runs and lofted the ball down with a leading edge towards mid-off where Tryon ran to her right for another diving catch 234/449.3 backs away for a big swing and loses her off stump! In desperate search for runs, she makes room for a heave but misses it completely and looks back at her uprooted leg stump 271/744.2 chips it straight to cover! Ismail gets her first wicket with a slower full ball that Vastrakar drives to cover with one hand coming off. Soft dismissal 240/548.2 99kmh, slower ball on off and Ghosh completely mistimes it down the ground, and Luus runs back from mid-off for a really good catch 268/6Extras18 (b 3, nb 1, w 14)TOTAL274/7 (50 Overs, RR: 5.48)Fall of wickets: 1-91 (Shafali Verma, 14.6 ov), 2-96 (Yastika Bhatia, 16.3 ov), 3-176 (Smriti Mandhana, 31.6 ov), 4-234 (Mithali Raj, 42.3 ov), 5-240 (Pooja Vastrakar, 44.2 ov), 6-268 (Richa Ghosh, 48.2 ov), 7-271 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 49.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.4 Run-out at the striker's end with a direct hit from mid-wicket by Harman! It was a full ball on the stumps and was clipped to the fielder. The run was not on but they took off, Richa had made her way to the stumps and could have taken the bails off to get her out. But the direct hit from Kaur after running to her right was good enough. 14/127.5 bowled'er! That's gone right through her and Harmanpreet ha got the big wicket. She got turn in her first over and this time she pitches it in the perfect spot to draw Wolvaardt forward, she leans into the length ball just outside off to clip it to leg with the turn, but she's beaten by the flighted ball, it turns in sharply, goes off the edge and hits the stumps. Harmanpreet knows how big this wicket is and she's running away to celebrate 145/326.5 73kmh, beaten in the air, it goes through her as she comes down, and Richa Ghosh completes the stumping with all the time in the world. Goodall falls just short of her fifty as she comes down for the flighted ball, it turns in as well to go through her, and India get the breakthrough 139/236.1 It's out, it didn't look out but it pitched outside off, the impact was in front of off and it was hitting leg-stump! Harman does it again! It hit Luus over the knee roll but her positioning was wrong, it didn't look like it. The umpire's not-out call was fair enough. 182/444.5 It's out! The full ball on off took the outside edge and squirted towards cover-point. Kaur ran across, threw in the underarm to the keeper, who whipped off the bails and caught the mighty Kapp short! 229/546.6 Caught and bowled off a leading edge from the flick. Is it too little, too late? It was full on middle and leg. Tryon tried to flick it square but closed the bat-face too early. She leaves in disappointment but, boy, has she done her job! 255/649.2 Full outside off, she came down the track and clobbered it to long-on. They took off for two, Chetty can't make it back but du Preez, who has reached 50, stays on strike. 270/7Extras8 (lb 3, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL275/7 (50 Overs, RR: 5.5)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Lizelle Lee, 4.4 ov), 2-139 (Lara Goodall, 26.5 ov), 3-145 (Laura Wolvaardt, 27.5 ov), 4-182 (Sune Luus, 36.1 ov), 5-229 (Marizanne Kapp, 44.5 ov), 6-255 (Chloe Tryon, 46.6 ov), 7-270 (Trisha Chetty, 49.2 ov)
