Sriram: "We are in that 1st ODI territory when Indian spinners changed the game in India's favour, now its Carson, Jonas to turn the screws on an out form Indian top order" Yep, with the series on the line this time. Chase will start around 5:35pm local, see you then.
Ashish's innings report will be up here soon
Hypocaust: "New Zealand's 144 runs after the fall of the 5th wicket are the second most scored from that point in a women's ODI against India on home soil."
Tautoru: "NZ rescued by Halliday with some useful cameos by Plimmer, Gaze & Tahuhu. "
Priya Mishra: I'm very happy that my dream of playing for India has come true. (On celebration) I just did that (laughs), it's what I normally do. Harman di told me to bowl googlies as they were deceiving Devine, so I went for it. I was really nervous at the start but everything was under control after the first ball.
5:07pm: Excellent recovery from New Zealand. They might rue the run outs but Halliday and the lower middle order took them from 88 for 5 to 232. The heat and humidity were stifling but she endured through and nailed a few big hits towards the end. Gaze provided her the support at first before Rowe hung around as well. Deepti Sharma took three of the last five wickets, the cross-seamer to dismiss Halliday was a highlight. Thakor continued her excellence up top. Renuka bowled tight as well. Mishra was the pick of the bowlers, she showed control and got Devine with a ripping googly. Got the leggie to turn and bounce to send back Green. Radha bowled only four overs as she was hit on the fingers while fielding at point. She continued to field later on but didn't bowl. Harman, her replacement, couldn't rein in the batters though.
Venkat : "76 in last 10 overs, even after loosing 6 wickets. "
