- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14.5 off stump pegged back, and Rawal cannot believe what has happened! Seems like an arm-ball - the sort that caused lots of havoc in a recent game in Guwahati between England and South Africa. Rawal does not pick this back of a length delivery and shapes for a punch through the off side. Does not cover the angle back into her and misses, with her stumps getting rattled soon after. Rawal is a picture of disappointment as she walks off; Pakistan feeling they have something to show for their recent tidiness! 67/28.6 smashed on the pad, and the finger goes up! Mandhana chats to Rawal and then takes it upstairs. This could be a big moment in the game! On a length on leg stump and this seems to curve back in a smidgen. Mandhana plants her front foot and falls across to the off side. Misses the ball by an absolute mile in the end, and gets thumped on the front pad. This looked pretty out on first glance. Pitching on leg stump, impact on leg stump, hitting leg stump, and Mandhana is outta here. And she takes a review along with her too! 48/133.1 Wicket finally comes after near-misses! Harleen looks to make the play first ball of the over, danced down early and tried to mow it over long-on. Was too early on it, bat turned inside on impact too and it went straight to long-on. Harleen did get to the pitch there, just an issue of timing 151/424.4 Strangled down leg. Tumbling take to the left for the keeper, Harman's despondent as she lifts her helmet and trundles. Fist-pumps and upper cuts from the jubilant Diana Baig and Fatima Sana as Pakistan have burgled one. Fullish ball down leg, 108ks, cross seam but that went straight on and didn't do anything dangerous. Harman glanced it right off the bat's face, low catch for Nawaz 106/334.6 Pakistan plead and plead and plead, but the umpire is unmoved! And Pakistan go upstairs! Angled in full on middle stump. Drops on Rodrigues late and then straightens off the surface. She gets rapped on the front pad, and this may have been heading towards the stumps. But did Rodrigues get bat/glove on it? Well well. Looks like Rodrigues has missed this completely and she could be in trouble here. Ball Tracking comes up now and...shows the ball to be thundering into middle and leg. Decision overturned, and Pakistan have their fifth! 159/545.3 nicked and gone! Baig gets her second, and India are now seven down! Slanted across on a length outside off. Deepti steps out to the leg side, trying to go inside out. Loses her shape just a bit, though, and the bottom hand comes off too. All she manages in the end is a healthy nick through to Nawaz, and this Indian innings has hit a submerged log! 203/744.2 holes out to long on, and Rana's scratchy knock ends! Angled in on a fullish length on middle and off. Rana skips down again, looking to repeat the dose. Drags this too and does not find the gap either. Arrows it straight to Riaz, and Fatima is pumped. She has two now and Pakistan have India six down! 201/648.2 sliced straight to backward point, and Charani falls! Iqbal holds the length back nicely just outside off, and gets the ball to drop as well. Charani hares down, looks to mow it over cow corner but ends up cutting across it way too much. Easy catch for Pervaiz, and India lose another in the pursuit of quick runs! 226/849.5 simple catch to Riaz, and Goud perishes after a handy cameo! Not quite a yorker, but it is full enough just outside off to prevent Goud from getting under it completely. Clinks it off the bottom half of the bat and Riaz completes the easiest of catches at mid off. Ghosh will be off strike for the final ball! 247/949.6 another shank, and India have been bowled out off the last ball of the 50th! Sharp bumper, following the batter just outside leg. Renuka swings like a rusty gate and the ball goes straight up off the splice. Nawaz calls early and this time, there is no one rushing in to cause a mishap. Catch completed without much fuss, and India finish with 247! 247/10Extras7 (b 1, lb 1, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL247 all out (50 Overs, RR: 4.94)Fall of wickets: 1-48 (Smriti Mandhana, 8.6 ov), 2-67 (Pratika Rawal, 14.5 ov), 3-106 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 24.4 ov), 4-151 (Harleen Deol, 33.1 ov), 5-159 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 34.6 ov), 6-201 (Sneh Rana, 44.2 ov), 7-203 (Deepti Sharma, 45.3 ov), 8-226 (Shree Charani, 48.2 ov), 9-247 (Kranti Gaud, 49.5 ov), 10-247 (Renuka Singh, 49.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.6 another huge lbw shout, but the umpire says no! Full ball, zipped into the stumps and definitely finishing on the stumps. Muneeba, without much footwork, prods at it and misses. Gets rapped on the pad but like the review that India burnt earlier, this seems to have pitched just outside leg. But in the meantime, there is more drama at the batter's end. Muneeba seemed to go walkabouts and wandered out of her crease. The throw hit the stumps and Muneeba did ground her bat. But then it came up when the ball actually hit the stumps. And the decision on the big screen says 'out.' Wow. Muneeba is not happy and she storms off. India, meanwhile, are jubilant. They have a wicket out of nowhere and out of nothing. And to add to that drama, replays show that Muneeba would have been given out lbw had India reviewed as well. Not sure if they would have, though. Lots happening there. Lots. 6/17.3 popped back to the bowler, and Goud is on the board! Pushed in full on middle and off, and this seems to just stop in the surface. Shamas, trying to force the issue down the ground, checks her shot and all she does is spoon it back to Goud on her follow-through. Pakistan lose their second and Goud gets her first! 20/239.5 Amin falls on the sweep, she smashes the turf and walks back. Was Pakistan's last hope. Rana spreads her arms and smiles after the cross-seam grip earns her a wicket. The tactic to go around the wicket and bowl full to invite the sweep has worked. Square leg was placed for any errors, and this one went low to Harman. Kicks it nicely in celebration too 150/811.1 Burnt review doesn't cost India too much, and Gaud, who insisted on having a second slip, has Riaz steer the ball straight to her. She points to mid-on, likely where Harman's standing, and goes bola tha na (I told you). Ball was hung slightly wide, Riaz was across outside off and opened the face fully, the ball kept going away and she followed it. Back foot took a step to the right and the ball went off bat like it does in fielding practice 26/327.1 brought on for a wicket, and Goud delivers with a wicket! Fullish just outside off and this seems to move away just a smidgen. Pervaiz plants her front foot, looking to go downtown but loses her shape completely. Slices across it a fair bit and Radha, back-pedaling from backward point, gobbles up the chance with consummate ease. India break what was a nagging partnership, and Pakistan under pressure again! 95/430.5 Power has deserted Sana tonight. She tried a shot a ball for a while but never got going. This time she makes room and looks to slap the length ball down the ground. Can only get it as far as long-on. Deepti's all smiles 102/537.6 Full toss ends the partnership. Nawaz danced down and got a fully that slipped out the hand around the top of her shin. Her stance was fully closed and was she was slightly inside the line. Wanted to lift it over mid-on but didn't have the room to swing freely. Ball strung low, around Rana's left foot. She did hold for a bit but that ball came so slowly, she caught it easily. Hides her face after as she couldn't believe her luck 143/638.3 Bowled round her legs. 74ks full ball landed around the crease at leg stump, Shamim got across to off stump - very much a lateral movement along the crease - and overbalances to the right as she tries to paddle the ball. Beaten all ends up. Golden duck for Shamim. Deepti has a wry smile. 146/742.2 Direct hit from Harman, should be gone. Yep, not even sent upstairs. Harman was slightly straight at midwicket, moved left quickly. Picked up the ball, ran a bit further and hit the edge of the stumps on the full with a flat throw. Was a full ball that was worked across the line 158/942.6 Is that the game? Yeah, taken at long-on. India extend their unbeaten streak vs Pakistan to 12-0. 5-0 in World Cups too. Game ends with a full ball outside off that Iqbal slog swept off the top edge straight to Mandhana. Deepti raises her hands. She smiles as do her team-mates 159/10Extras8 (lb 1, w 7)TOTAL159 all out (43 Overs, RR: 3.69)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Muneeba Ali, 3.6 ov), 2-20 (Sadaf Shamas, 7.3 ov), 3-26 (Aliya Riaz, 11.1 ov), 4-95 (Natalia Pervaiz, 27.1 ov), 5-102 (Fatima Sana, 30.5 ov), 6-143 (Sidra Nawaz, 37.6 ov), 7-146 (Rameen Shamim, 38.3 ov), 8-150 (Sidra Amin, 39.5 ov), 9-158 (Diana Baig, 42.2 ov), 10-159 (Sadia Iqbal, 42.6 ov)
