- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.2 and there's the early wicket! Another away-swinger, starting from outside off, and she has a swish at it. Fine edge through to the keeper. The South Africans are elated! 0/112 Mandhana holes out to deep backward square leg! Possibly beaten by how slow the game was, as she was looking to play this in front of square. That lofted stroke that had fetched her runs in Sekhukhune's previous over, proves to be her downfall this time. Rebuilding time again for India, as the pressure of a few dot balls shows on the Indian opener 64/234 Raut tries to go aerial this time. Was on the fuller side and Raut aimed to go over extra cover but ended up spooning it in the air. Bosch turned around and took a brilliant catch after taking a couple of steps towards wide mid-off 161/428 Maiden wicket for Bosch in ODI cricket. A low full toss on the stumps and Raj ends up flicking it straight to midwicket. An easy catch for du Preez and Raj is disappointed with herself for such a soft dismissal 141/345 a brilliant catch from Sekhukhune ends Harmanpreet's stay. Looked like a slower ball from Ismail. Harman was committed to go over mid-off but ended up skying it. Sekhukhune ran backwards and took it over her shoulder, tumbling to finish the catch 221/5Extras24 (b 1, lb 9, nb 1, w 13)TOTAL248/5 (50 Overs, RR: 4.96)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 0.2 ov), 2-64 (Smriti Mandhana, 11.6 ov), 3-141 (Mithali Raj, 27.6 ov), 4-161 (Punam Raut, 33.6 ov), 5-221 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 44.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR10 that's gone through! You have to say a bit of poor batting from Wolvaardt, but smart bowling from Deepti. She's noticed that these batters aren't too fond of using their feet, so she throws up an inviting fuller ball outside off. Wolvaardt goes for the drive, but from the crease. Leaves a gaping hole between bat and pad, and a slight bit of turn back in takes the ball through that gap. Good wicket for India! 41/121.2 the breakthrough comes for India! It's a length ball, angling across her, and Goodall shuffles across and tries to flog this over mid-on, but cannot clear Harmanpreet Kaur in that position. Kaur times her jump to a nicety, and claims that in front of her face. Goodall's rather indifferent stay in the middle comes to an end 81/236.2 Gayakwad strikes for India. A fuller delivery outside off, du Preez looks to go over midwicket but the ball turns just enough to take the outside edge and Punam Raut takes an easy catch moving to her left from extra cover 178/337.5 length ball at the stumps, Kapp looks to clear mid-on but it hits her high on the bat and lobs towards mid-on. Mithali, in her famous floppy hat, pouches it without any fuss 178/4Extras10 (b 5, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL223/4 (46.3 Overs, RR: 4.79)Fall of wickets: 1-41 (Laura Wolvaardt, 9.6 ov), 2-81 (Lara Goodall, 21.2 ov), 3-178 (Mignon du Preez, 36.2 ov), 4-178 (Marizanne Kapp, 37.5 ov)
