Riveting first innings. Vishal will be with you shortly for the start of the chase. Remember, India don't have Smriti Mandhana this afternoon.

Radha Yadav, the pick of the India bowlers: Today we wanted to bowl in good areas and did that. Couple of misfields here and there. We were in the game... but yeah. (Two wickets, key dismissals) I was just trying to bowl good areas. Ayesha was going after us so was trying to bowl in blockhole. (Ayesha Naseem) Like any other game, we planned. We wanted to give our best. We did pretty well, now we need to hold our nerves and chase it down. (Batting plan) As I said, we just need to keep that in mind and play according to the ball."

Tom de Sailor : "That's some terrific batting from Pakistan. India panicked by the end and it showed in their fielding. Without chase master Smriti, its going to be very tough for India. Time to find a new star"

4.35pm A partnership of 81 in only 7.5 overs, and Pakistan have made a game out of this. They were 58 for 3 after ten overs but wickets in hand allowed Maroof and Naseem to really power on for the last six overs.

Naseem was the one who changed gears for Pakistan, with Maroof happy to give her strike, but the experienced campaigner joined in the fun once the pressure shifted towards India. A couple of dropped chances when the pressure got high, something India would not like. A forgettable bowling performance for Deepti too.

Ravi: "This chasable easily...Pak wont give much pace on ball....Yastika and Harleen are key...they just need to rotate others to hit out."
