- BATSMENRB4s6sSR46.2 fullish, angling into leg stump. Clears her front leg, goes for the big whip, but can't clear deep backward square leg, who barely has to move. Just a couple of steps to her right to catch this at chest height 203/33.2 this time, she's got a big, fat edge through to the keeper. This was a quicker delivery that came back in with the arm from around the stumps, Mandhana played for the turn but this went on with the angle, not much room to cut and the edge lodged firmly in Alyssa's gloves. Fourth successive failure for Mandhana. She never looked set today, had two chances and now gone 9/140.3 gone. Denies her the room she's looking for. Steps out, steps away to the leg side, and she follows with one that's flat and sliding on with the angle. May have wanted to hit through mid-off or cover, but without the room to do so, can only pop back a return catch at waist height. Not her most fluent innings, but she's given India a pretty good platform if the middle order can turn it on. 166/247.3 gone. Healy, standing up to the stumps, wastes no time getting the bails off. Sees her stepping out and bowls it wider outside off. Slogs, loses her shape, misses, and is a long way outside her crease, left without a chance of regaining her crease. Looks like she got a faint outside edge too 208/546.3 length ball on middle stump, clipped to the right of deep midwicket. Krishnamurthy wanted a second, Kaur did not, and this might be a run-out here, without a ball faced. Throw at the keeper's end, Healy has the bails off before Krishnamurthy dives back into her crease. It looked like two was on if Kaur had hurried through the first. She didn't, and sent her partner back 204/449.3 full, angling into off stump, sneaks under Verma's slog across the line 220/748.1 length ball angling into leg stump. Goswami slogs across the line and misses, and India are six down 211/6Extras5 (w 5)TOTAL226/7 (50 Overs, RR: 4.52)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Smriti Mandhana, 3.2 ov), 2-166 (Mithali Raj, 40.3 ov), 3-203 (Punam Raut, 46.2 ov), 4-204 (Veda Krishnamurthy, 46.3 ov), 5-208 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 47.3 ov), 6-211 (Jhulan Goswami, 48.1 ov), 7-220 (Sushma Verma, 49.3 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR15.4 Boltin has been given out caught behind. She has a chat with her partner, not sure why. Walks off. Goes for a sweep, this one pitched way outside off and spun back in to take the bottom edge. Excellent catch by Verma. The only reason why she may have been thinking of a review was because the bat may have hit the ground at the same time it made contact with the ball. Anyway, India have their first wicket, one they needed very badly. 62/122.3 Excellent fielding, not the greatest decision to run, and India have broken through. Length ball close to off stump, pushed gently to the right of the right-handed Deepti Sharma at short extra-cover. A risky single, and she picks up, spins, and fires a direct hit at the bowler's end, catching Mooney a good couple of inches short 103/2Extras10 (lb 1, w 9)TOTAL227/2 (45.1 Overs, RR: 5.02)Fall of wickets: 1-62 (Nicole Bolton, 15.4 ov), 2-103 (Beth Mooney, 22.3 ov)
