12.30pmWhat a way to kick off the Women's World T20. Harmanpreet Kaur shellacked the first hundred for India women in T20Is and the third overall in a Women's World T20. Annesha Ghosh had profiled her ahead of the tournament. Tuck in, again. NZ need 195. We'll be back in a bit for the chase

Jemimah: It was difficult to bat at first and I could not time the ball first. It's always difficult but we had to focus on the next ball. Harry played a great knock and we were just focussing on the partnership
