- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.3 Delany strikes! Full on leg, looks to go big towards deep square leg, but there is no power on the shot and the ball lands straight into the hands of Hunter 62/118.4 Prendergast gets the all-important Mandhana. No ton for the India vice-captain. Full and outside off, Mandhana once again looks to go aerial over the off side. Makes decent contact but hits it straight down long-off's throat. Lewis does not make a mistake. 143/415.5 Excellent low catch, Prendergast you beauty! Runs in from deep midwicket, drives forward to pouch it with both hands. This was one shot that seemed to have pinged off the middle of Harmanpreet's bat. She gets across and heaves the full ball to the on side. Ends up finding an athletic fielding effort. The thing was, Harmanpreet was hitting against the wind. 114/215.6 Two wickets in two legal deliveries. India lose a massive wicket in Ghosh. Full and in line of the stumps, it was the slower one. Ghosh looks to power it down the ground but only skies it to long-on. Troubled areas for India now. 115/319.6 Stumped! Rodrigues looks to charge down and swipe it across the line but misses the length ball outside off. Waldron is quick to whip the bails off. 155/618.5 And Prendergast is on a hat-trick! Gets another left-hander in Deepti out. Lands it on a length around middle, it was a slower one. She looks to place it to the on side for one but is a tad early into it. Spoons it to cover via the leading edge. 143/5Extras10 (lb 2, w 8)TOTAL155/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.75)Fall of wickets: 1-62 (Shafali Verma, 9.3 ov), 2-114 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 15.5 ov), 3-115 (Richa Ghosh, 15.6 ov), 4-143 (Smriti Mandhana, 18.4 ov), 5-143 (Deepti Sharma, 18.5 ov), 6-155 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 What is happening here!? Full on off, pushed to covers. Jemimah runs in a few yards and throws at the striker's end quickly. Hunter was hesitant to take the second run and was well short of the crease when Richa took the bails out. 1/10.5 Two wickets in an over! Length ball on off, angling in, she comes down to hit towards offside and misses as the ball hits the offstump. 1/2Extras4 (w 4)TOTAL54/2 (8.2 Overs, RR: 6.48)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Amy Hunter, 0.1 ov), 2-1 (Orla Prendergast, 0.5 ov)
