    19.4 Oh, that's a soft soft dismissal and Rawal, after all the hard work perishes! Loopy 75.7kph length ball down leg, Rawal looks to turn this to the on-side, gets a big, fat leading edge that goes straight up. Brits comes in from midwicket and takes a comfortable catch. The squeeze is on! 91/3
    10.2 straight down long on's throat, and Mlaba has the big fish in her first over! Dangles the carrot just outside off and Mandhana bites. She wants to go downtown but does not get under it enough. Off the toe-end of the bat and Luus is stationed just for that sort of miscue. Mandhana shakes her head in disappointment and there is a hush around the ground. Massive, massive moment in the game and Mlaba has produced it yet again for South Africa! 55/1

    16.6 Oof! That's a left-arm spinner's delight. Drift, guile, timber! Gets the the length ball to float in around middle at 74.6kph that lands and drifts away from Deol. She is squared up as the ball spins past her outside edge and rattles her stumps. A friendly goodbye from Mlaba as India lose their second 83/2
    24.2 Second wicket for Tryon and India are in serious trouble now. Tossed up at 74.3kph just outside off and turning away a touch. Harmanpreet, looking to force this through the offside, gets a thick top edge, with the ball ballooning to Kapp at backward point, who takes a good low catch 100/5
    20.4 Huge, huge appeal and the umpire after a bit of a pause gives this out. Will Rodrigues review? Yes, she does. Tossed up on middle and leg, Rodrigues looks for a sweep, misses and is struck in front. Now to the important questions. Did Rodrigues get some bat/glove on it? Nope. On we go. Did the ball pitch in line? Yes, it did. Would that have gone on to hit the stumps. Replays confirm the ball would have clipped the top right part of leg stump. Umpire's call it is and Tryon strikes in her first over. India are in plenty of strife. 92/4
    25.6 Strangled down leg? Oh, yes! This is a huge, huge wicket as Kapp strikes on return. Oh, hang on. Looks Deepti has belatedly reviewed. She was walking off, but Amanjot has convinced her to review. And, indeed, there is a spike just as the ball is near her bat. Was a harmless length ball down leg, Deepti looks to turn this fine, gets a faint tickle and Jafta takes a really good catch moving to her right. 102/6
    39.6 Amanjot looks to go big, but only heads back to the shed! Tossed up generously on a fullish length on middle and off. Amanjot skips down but is not to the pitch of the ball. Decides to go through with the stroke anyway but the ball holds and spins away just enough to cause a miscue. Off the bottom part of the blade and Luus, running back from mid off, makes no mistake! 153/7
    49.4 Oh, that looks very, very tight on height. The catch has been taken at long-on, but Ghosh has reviewed. A very high full toss on off stump, Ghosh mistimes to long-on and immediately asks the umpire for a no-ball. When she does not get it, she asks for a review. What's the verdict? Oh, fine margins. The ball was just 4cm below her waist line and that means Ghosh has to walk back for a majestic 94 251/9
    48.5 Stop the press... South Africa have held onto a catch. Back of a length outside off, she backs away and pats it but straight to cover where Wolvaardt takes a simple catch 241/8

    35.5 pin-point yorker, and Wolvaardt bites the dust! Is that the game too!? This is seriously good stuff from the youngster. Zings this in very full on middle stump. Wolvaardt backs away, trying to squeeze it out into the off side. Cannot get her bat down in time, though, and the ball breezes past before thundering into middle and leg. Gaud roars in delight, and that could be a pivotal moment in this contest! 142/6
    2.2 oh my days - what a catch that is! Goud with an absolute worldie and the in-form batter in world cricket has to trudge off! Fullish just outside off. Brits walks down the track and smashes it back at the bowler. Goud, as a reflex action, flings out her left mitt and the ball sticks. Not sure Goud can believe what she has done. Definitely sure that Brits cannot believe what has transpired. India have an early breakthrough, and it has come about through a moment of pure fielding brilliance! 6/1
    5.2 edged and taken! Amanjot finally has Luus, and South Africa are reeling early! This is on the shorter side and wide outside off. Luus' eyes light up and she throws her hands at it. Only manages a healthy nick, though, and Ghosh does the rest. India thrilled to bits and South Africa now have it all to do, with their two batting stars from the last game, now out of the equation! 18/2

    13.4 cleans her up with a pearler, and Kapp is outta here! This is beautiful bowling. Fizzed through on a fullish length on off stump. Seems to drift away and the ball does not turn. Might have been bowled with a different grip through, meaning this was always designed and destined to go with the original line. Kapp, having taken a step down the track, plays inside the line and then watches in disbelief as he off stump is pegged back. Rana has her arms outstretched in celebration; Kapp, still a little bewildered and bewitched after what has transpired! 57/3
    14.1 popped back to Deepti, and South Africa are falling away! Deepti throws it up full just outside off. Bosch looks to go downtown but does not display any sort of conviction. Does not get under it completely, nor does she try to keep it down. Plinks it back tamely to Deepti's right and she snaffles up the chance with both hands. A bit of a bobble as she tumbled, but she ensured the ball was in her grasp. This game is probably in India's grasp too now! 58/4
    19.4 Huge appeal for lbw... the umpire takes her time and rules in the bowler's favour. Jafta has reviewed it immediately. India only need an umpire's call. That was pushed quicker on a length on middle and leg, Jafta gets right across and misses the clip. Is struck right in front of the stumps. No bat and the tracker has the ball hitting flush on leg stump. Delight for Shree Charani and South Africa are now five down. 81/5

    45.5 Loud appeal for lbw... not given. India have one review left, will they take it? Yes, they do. Pushed quicker on off stump, Tryon shimmies down the track, looks to turn this to the leg side and misses. Ooh, this looks mighty close. No bat, she is struck in line and yep, tracker confirms the ball would go on to smash into leg stump. Tryon falls for 49. Is that the game for India? 211/7
