- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.2 beautiful ball! Dream delivery, dream start. Full, swung away late to square Mathews up as she pokes at this and gets the thinnest of edges through to the keeper. 0/13 oh, what a pity that the party is over. Shafali can't resist temptation as she looks to belt this over mid-off, toe-ends and Anuja takes the catch with a reverse cup. Got rid of the ball very quickly, I'm not too convinced she had complete control really. 14/31.2 this is a massive blow! Tempts Wyatt to go inside out by nicely tossing this up, but it's the late drift that does her in as her big swing connects with thin air. Smart stumping by Bhatia 1/27.3 holes out to mid-on, Velocity go from bad to worse. Mithali looks for a repeat of the lofted hit she attempted of the previous delivery, no timing. Right off the toe end. 37/56.5 this is excellent work by Taniya Bhatia. There's a reason why the Indian team management persists with her even if the runs don't come off her blade. It's because of glove work like this. This is almost Sarah Taylor-esque. Devine bowls this full down leg, Veda looks to flick but is overbalanced, Bhatia grabs the ball with a swift movement to the leg side and in a quick whippy flourish, gets the bails off. 37/418.2 steps out and slaps this straight to cover, a 71-run stand has been broken. This was hit extremely hard, Harmanpreet stayed nice and low to complete the catch 108/6Extras13 (lb 4, w 9)TOTAL121/6 (20 Overs, RR: 6.05)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Hayley Matthews, 0.2 ov), 2-1 (Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 1.2 ov), 3-14 (Shafali Verma, 2.6 ov), 4-37 (Veda Krishnamurthy, 6.5 ov), 5-37 (Mithali Raj, 7.3 ov), 6-108 (Amelia Kerr, 18.2 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR10.1 Punia is stumped right after the break, two in two! Lots of fight and turn outside off from Vaidya, the length was perfect to draw Punia out of her crease, she drove with the turn but the ball beat her and Sushma Verma whipped the bails off in no time 53/31.5 that's a run-out appeal and given instantly by the square leg umpire! Atapattu has to go back. Punia played that late behind square and they took two easily at an average pace. Ekta Bisht did well to keep the ball in bear the third-man boundary and then sent in an accurate throw. The batsmen hesitantly looked at each other before taking off for the third and Atapattu couldn't make it 9/110 driven back, good catch by Kerr! Nicely flighted around off, it temps Rodrigues to pack some punch in that and she drives it back with some muscle, and Kerr does well to pouch it right between her legs, few inches above the ground 53/219.2 she has holed out to deep cover! It's the trademark loft over the covers from Harmanpreet after coming down, she drove with the turn, and Velocity clearly have a fielder there. Hayley Matthews waits and then dives forward to get both hands under it. What a big wicket, and just in time 115/612 right through her, off stump knocked over, Jahanara leaps with joy! Sciver came down the track for a big swipe on the leg side and Jahanara dropped it short on off, Sciver missed it completely and the ball hit top of off 59/413.3 Devine's off stump is knocked over too, how big is that Jahanara smile! The dot balls were mounting the pressure, Devine wanted to play that delivery on off by opening the face of the bat. But some beautiful wrist work from Jahanara that sent the ball down with the seam facing towards first slip made the ball move away a bit and Devine missed it completely after it pitched on length 64/5Extras4 (w 4)TOTAL125/6 (20 Overs, RR: 6.25)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Chamari Athapaththu, 1.5 ov), 2-53 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 9.6 ov), 3-53 (Priya Punia, 10.1 ov), 4-59 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 11.6 ov), 5-64 (Sophie Devine, 13.3 ov), 6-115 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 19.2 ov)
