- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR33.6 ahh, there never seemed to be a nick there in real time, but Patil and Ghosh were confident, and the umpire upheld their appeal. Patil, from around the wicket, got one on the fuller side of a length just outside off, with the ball also dipping on to Litchfield. It turned away sharply too, with Litchfield looking to field but getting a the toe end of the bat to Ghosh, who moved to her left to grab that 160/49.1 the leg stump is flattened! Healy walks back with a frustrated face. She was standing outside the crease, looking to flick this full ball which was angled into her. The ball shaped back in nicely in the end, landing on the leg stump. Healy missed her flick, with perhaps her standing so outside the crease making the length a bit too full for that shot 40/123.4 taken at short midwicket! It was grabbed on the second chance, as the ball popped up off Patil's hands when she leapt up, before she kept her cool to eventually catch it. Good take, considering the India have had in the field so far. Deepti bowled short on a middle-and-leg line, as Perry went deep in the crease to pull. She did pull it quite hard and flat, but didn't get the elevation, and Patil nabbed it nicely 117/227.6 confident appeal for leg before wicket, and this is given. The batters discuss for a few seconds, before Mooney reviews. This looked like hitting the stumps flash, but we'll wait for the replays. It was tossed up, and bowled on a length around middle. It turned away too - there was slow turn there, seemingly - even as this one was bowled slightly quicker by Deepti. Mooney looked to slog sweep this, but was beaten, getting hit on her back thigh. And replays confirm that the ball would have hit the top of off stump, so Mooney walks back, and Australia lose a review 133/339.2 Sharp turn inwards, 78ks, and knocks over McGrath. The flight is delicious again, line's just outside off, McGrath was tentative for a moment, she tried to adjust late and stab it square on the off side. But the offbreak drifted away, shot through and rattled middle. Deepti is turning the game from her end, which has considerably less grass. 180/636.1 Looped up, Gardner dances down and chips it to straight long-on! It was on a length, Gardner got close to the pitch and drove through the line. The bat swing stopped around head-height. She got the timing she was looking for but the straight boundaries are long. It travelled 68 metres but was pouched by Amanjot well inside the boundary. Reward for Rana flighting the ball 170/545.5 This time Deepti has her fifth! She slowed it down, got it above the eyeline and probably some dip. Sutherland tried to push it with the full face, it hovered low in the air off the inner-half of the bat for Deepti to get down and take it in front. 219/845.1 Mandhana takes the dolly this time! Wareham danced down early, Deepti went slowish with the 75ks full ball angling in. Wareham spooned the whip across the line straight down Mandhana's throat 216/7Extras12 (lb 2, w 10)TOTAL258/8 (50 Overs, RR: 5.16)Did not bat: D BrownFall of wickets: 1-40 (Alyssa Healy, 9.1 ov), 2-117 (Ellyse Perry, 23.4 ov), 3-133 (Beth Mooney, 27.6 ov), 4-160 (Phoebe Litchfield, 33.6 ov), 5-170 (Ashleigh Gardner, 36.1 ov), 6-180 (Tahlia McGrath, 39.2 ov), 7-216 (Georgia Wareham, 45.1 ov), 8-219 (Annabel Sutherland, 45.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.6 half an appeal for leg before wicket by Garth, but she herself doesn't look very keen. Healy has a word with her bowler, and reviews. This was bowled on the shorter side of a length on middle, with the ball shaping back in slightly to hit the side of Bhatia's front knee. There's no inside edge there as she looked to push forward. And replays confirm that the ball would have hit the top of middle stump, so Healy's last-moment review pays off 37/115.2 King's first ball to Mandhana has her hole out to long-on! Length at the stumps, the batter - probably in a bid to not allow King to settle - charged down and tried mashing it slightly across the line. Didn't get to the pitch and the bat-face closed, which meant it was clothed straight to McGrath 71/243.5 Ghosh misses out on the hundred! She nailed the cover drive but the fielders were packed inside the ring. Litchfield moved to the left and intercepted the bullet while on the run. Ghosh smashes the turf with her bat in frustration. Was a length ball just outside off that she drove on top of the bounce. It went flat and around waist-height 218/533.1 great catch by Litchfield at short extra cover! Australia have dropped three catches today, but this one kind of makes up. Litchfield dived across to her right full stretch to nab that one. Rodrigues saw this tossed-up ball dipping on off stump, as she went lofting inside out. She opened the face of the bat and went for it, only for Litchfield to interfere 159/335.4 Edged and a sharp take by Healy! Legbreak on a length at off stump, 75ks, spun away just a bit. Harman was deep in the crease, waited and played the cut but could only manage a thin edge. Slow-mo replay shows it's off the middle of the toe, it makes the take more impressive. Luckily for Healy, the deflection wasn't lateral. 171/445.1 Amanjot makes room and tries to go through cover. Sutherland goes full at the stumps. Batter misses, bowler hits! 224/647.4 Pulled hard but can't clear deep midwicket. Slower one does the trick for Sutherland, back of hand into the pitch. It's cranked from outside off but the top edge finishes a few feet inside the ring. Gardner takes it above head. 240/748.6 Harleen dances down and Gardner goes through her! Shortish ball at 87ks, Harleen still couldn't cope with the lack of bounce. She tried to turn it leg side and got nothing on it! Subdued celebration from Gardner, crowd goes quiet 243/8Extras20 (b 1, lb 3, nb 1, w 15)TOTAL255/8 (50 Overs, RR: 5.1)Fall of wickets: 1-37 (Yastika Bhatia, 6.6 ov), 2-71 (Smriti Mandhana, 15.2 ov), 3-159 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 33.1 ov), 4-171 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 35.4 ov), 5-218 (Richa Ghosh, 43.5 ov), 6-224 (Amanjot Kaur, 45.1 ov), 7-240 (Pooja Vastrakar, 47.4 ov), 8-243 (Harleen Deol, 48.6 ov)
