- BATSMENRB4s6sSR6 got her with a beauty! Out, out, out and then in! Punia plays for the one that leaves her but this one hits the seam and jags back in to beat the inside edge and crash into the stumps. Punia caught on the crease, wasn't committing either ways and pays the price. 26/112.1 pulled to deep square, that is an outstanding catch diving forward. Massive blow. Mandhana is a compulsive puller and not for the first time, she's holed out in the deep. This is a poor shot under the circumstances. Mignon du Preez picked it early, ran in dived forward and plucked it with the ball inches from the ground. Familiar wobble for India. 53/312 swept straight to short fine leg. Bit of a top-edge, it was was almost as if Raut forgot there was a fielder lurking there. Big wicket, India's highest run-getter of the series is gone. 52/236.4 edged ands gone! Slashes at a fuller delivery, and excellent reflexes from Jafta sees the back of an increasingly edgy Hemalatha. Her first outing this series has been a poor one. Built so much pressure on herself that she had to find ways to wriggle out but couldn't 137/438.4 another Sushma failure as she is given lbw. Full on off, and she looks to flick it to the leg side. Hits the pad, impact looks like in front of leg stump. And given out 139/543.3 tossed up outside off. She comes down the wicket to clobber a six over long on. But mistimed....and taken at long on. Off the bat's toe end 158/646.1 in the air and point runs in to take the catch. Slices this short ball after coming down the track 173/747 full, outside off. Guided to short third man. Mithali takes off for one but it's a direct hit at the batter's end! Pratyusha is gone, and you have to feel for her. There was no run there. But atleast Raj will be on strike next over. Epic throw from du Preez at short third man 176/749.3 all over and India are all out for 188.

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR10.2 beauty! Gets her with sharp turn to beat the inside edge and crash into the stumps. This is the kind of dismissal that will delight any off spinner. Did it hit the footmark created by Monica Patel? Gripped the surface, sharp turn from there to beat Luus' defence. 27/31.5 good length, outside off. Cuts, takes the edge, and gobbled by the substitute fielder at first slip! 1/13.3 given! Gayakwad giving India hope of a win here. Full on leg, angling into middle. Tries to work it leg side, misses, hits the front pad. Plumb! 3/236.2 darted it on leg, aims to worked it towards the on-side, but ends up lobbing it up towards the space between mid-off and cover. Raj moves to her left, takes a good catch to send back du Preez 131/533.5 full toss and she's holed out to short midwicket! Wanted to clear the infield but toe-ended it to Mithali. First wicket in ODIs for Pratyusha. Must say that was an excellent catch as well, Mithali moved with the stroke, timed her jump well to grab that 123/4Extras8 (lb 1, w 7)TOTAL189/5 (48.2 Overs, RR: 3.91)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Laura Wolvaardt, 1.5 ov), 2-3 (Lara Goodall, 3.3 ov), 3-27 (Sune Luus, 10.2 ov), 4-123 (Anneke Bosch, 33.5 ov), 5-131 (Mignon du Preez, 36.2 ov)
