- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.1 chopped on, and the break does the trick for India and Gaud! India breathe a sigh of relief, and Harmanpreet breathes an even bigger sigh of relief! Length ball in the channel and this seems to move back in a shade. Healy goes nibbling at it in front of her body and away from it too. Gets a thick inside edge that cannons into the stumps. Massive, massive wicket for Gaud, and for India! 25/127.2 bowled! Litchfield's terrific innings is over ... She moved across her stumps to scoop the ball towards deep fine leg but was too early on the shot, Amanjot kept it on a wicket to wicket line and hit middle stump 180/239.2 knocks her over, and Perry's vigil has come to an end! This seems like a flatter arm-ball, pitching just outside off and coming in with the angle. Perry tries to give herself room and access the off side region (where there was no sweeper out), but ends up missing a straight ball. Perhaps done in by the angle, perhaps done in by the pace, and Radha is over the moon. Perry departs for an 88-ball 77, and Australia just faltering a touch here! 243/533.6 caught in the covers! Mooney was out of her crease once again and hand to wait for the flighted ball from Charani, she was early on the shot and ended up chipping it to Rodrigues, who ran back and took the catch at head height 220/335.5 pops it back to Charani this time, and Sutherland is off! Floated up nicely on a fullish length on middle and off. Sutherland lunges forward but does not get to the pitch of the ball. It also seems to stick in the surface and Sutherland ends up offering the simplest of return catches to Charani. India with two wickets in quick succession, and with a bit of momentum now! 228/448.3 yes, no, sorry, and Gardner has to go! Darted into the blockhole outside off. Gardner shanks it towards square leg and sets off, like she did when McGrath was dismissed. Garth, though, says no after taking a few steps down the track herself. She tries to sacrifice herself but the batters do not cross when the bails are whipped off at the batter's end. A tame and anti-climactic end to Gardner's innings, but she has propelled Australia past 330! 331/741.4 oh dear - that is a bad mix-up, and McGrath has to go! Back of a length outside off. Gardner jabs it to extra cover and sets off for the single. McGrath is not ready for it and is perhaps ball-watching too. Very late to react and Rodrigues' throw to Ghosh is on point, with the keeper doing the rest. A needless run-out from an Australian perspective, and India have been handed another lifeline here! 265/649.5 floated up on middle and off. Garth skips down the track and drills it towards long off. The decision to go for the second is a little belated and that leads to Garth's undoing. Just about in the frame as Ghosh takes off the bails, and Australia have been bowled out with a ball remaining in their innings! 338/1049.2 big, big appeal for a caught-behind, and Deepti wants this reviewed! And Harmanpreet says...okay! Slowed up and angled across the batter on a length outside off. King shuffles a step to her right and then has an enormous mow across the line. Seems to miss it but India, obviously, think otherwise. And they are right too. There is a snick off the under-edge as King was swinging like a rusty gate, and India's decision to review has paid off! 336/849.3 and Deepti has two in two now! Zipped in very full on leg stump. Molineux walks across her stumps and looks to swipe this away behind square. Too full to be playing that stroke, though, and Molineux only ends up swishing at thin air. The rattle of leg stump fills the stadium soon after, and Australia are nine down! 336/9Extras13 (lb 2, w 11)TOTAL338 all out (49.5 Overs, RR: 6.78)Fall of wickets: 1-25 (Alyssa Healy, 5.1 ov), 2-180 (Phoebe Litchfield, 27.2 ov), 3-220 (Beth Mooney, 33.6 ov), 4-228 (Annabel Sutherland, 35.5 ov), 5-243 (Ellyse Perry, 39.2 ov), 6-265 (Tahlia McGrath, 41.4 ov), 7-331 (Ashleigh Gardner, 48.3 ov), 8-336 (Alana King, 49.2 ov), 9-336 (Sophie Molineux, 49.3 ov), 10-338 (Kim Garth, 49.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 given lbw after the boundary! And Shafali reviews immediately. Good length ball that pitched outside off and nipped back into the right-hander to beat the inside edge of the bat as it came down and hit the front pad on the knee roll. Three reds on DRS, Shafali has got to go and India lose a review 13/19.2 a slight appeal for a strangle down leg, but called a wide! But Healy, after some deliberation with her teammates, takes it upstairs! Garth errs in line with this length ball. Mandhana wanted to glance it fine and seemed to miss it. She does not look very fussed about the review, which may be an indication. The UltraEdge taking a bit of time to build, and billions of Indians hold their breath. UltraEdge comes up now and oh my word. There is a small spike on UltraEdge when the ball is next to the bat. The barest of spikes. The barest of margins. And Australia have the big fish, and they have the big fish via a strangle down leg. What a moment in the game. Mandhana cannot believe it. She is shaking her head as she walks off. Thousands at the ground, and countless others in front of their TV sets might be in disbelief too. But Mandhana has been dismissed, and India have been stunned! 59/235.2 shanked in the air, and Gardner flies through the air to send the Indian skipper on her way! Australia swarm around Gardner, and Sutherland breaks this game right open! Dug into the track outside off and Harmanpreet seems to be expecting this too. She shapes for the pull but the ball holds in the surface ever so slightly. A complete miscue and Gardner charges in from the deep mid wicket fence before diving forward to snaffle up the chance. What a knock by the India captain, but now, someone else will have to take them past the finish line! 226/340.5 oh dear - that is pretty much the last thing India wanted at this stage! A run-out, a needless one at that, and Deepti is outta here! Gardner pulls the length back on middle and leg. Rodrigues, having advanced, turns it towards short fine leg. A bit of hesitation on the single and Deepti, in the end, decides to power through. Bad idea. Very bad idea. Garth's throw is right at the stumps and Healy does the rest, with Deepti just about entering the frame. Not great cricket from India, and a wicket out of nothing for Australia! 264/445.6 Ghosh slices it straight to backward point, and Sutherland keeps Australia breathing! Plenty of pace off on this. Back-of-the-hand slower ball on a shortish length outside off and this just does not arrive. Ghosh plays three strokes in her head before actually making contact with her fourth and actual attempt. But it is a feeble attempt in the end. Easy catch for Garth and short third, and Australia remain afloat (for now)! 310/5Extras26 (b 4, lb 6, nb 1, w 15)TOTAL341/5 (48.3 Overs, RR: 7.03)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Shafali Verma, 1.3 ov), 2-59 (Smriti Mandhana, 9.2 ov), 3-226 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 35.2 ov), 4-264 (Deepti Sharma, 40.5 ov), 5-310 (Richa Ghosh, 45.6 ov)
