- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.3 Healy dances down the wicket and will slow waltz back to the dugout! Radha drags this ball wider outside off stump on a seventh stump line and drags the length back with Healy telegraphing her charge, the ball keeps very low underneath a slog as Healy was beaten badly in flight and the ball barely carries to the keeper almost bouncing twice. The bails come off with Healy having given up five yards down the pitch. 52/111.5 Shafali will redeem herself! Another offcutter, good length on off and angling away. Mooney cuts, from close to her body, and the ball has lobbed to the youngster inside the circle. Shafali with an aggressive reaction after holding on this time. 88/217.5 yorked, and off stump rattled. Nice loopy delivery that dips late with Gardner looking to drive. She made a bit of room, and the ball has gone under the blade. Out for 31, strike-rate of 172.2. She has done her job. 141/318.3 slower ball does the trick with Harris looking to plough this across the line. Was a slot delivery and Harris' eyes lit up seeing the length, however the off-cutter stays a tad low, goes under the bat and breaks off stump. 148/4Extras4 (lb 1, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL172/4 (20 Overs, RR: 8.6)Fall of wickets: 1-52 (Alyssa Healy, 7.3 ov), 2-88 (Beth Mooney, 11.5 ov), 3-141 (Ashleigh Gardner, 17.5 ov), 4-148 (Grace Harris, 18.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 length ball tailing into the legs, goes to flick and misses, hit just above the knee roll. Mild appeal from Schutt is given out after a very long thought by the umpire Perera. Verma calls for a review. Two doubts on this were height and whether it was missing leg stump. Ball-tracking shows this shaving the bails on leg stump. It stays out on umpire's call. This was a very speculative lbw shout but the umpire sides in favor of Australia and it's another sign that today is their day. 11/12.2 arm ball skids into the pads on off stump, Mandhana defends flat-footed to try to sandwich the ball but it was clearly pad first. LBW shout given not out and Australia wisely review. Ball-tracking shows this smashing into middle and off stump just below the bails. Decision overturned. 15/23.4 horrendous mixup! Bhatia was feeling the pressure to get off strike and get the hot hand Rodrigues back on strike. She charges a full ball and flicks firmly but picks out short midwicket and sets off running on contact. Rodrigues may have been guilty of ball-watching and stays put, but arguably there was never a run. The throw is inexplicably rushed to the stumps, is wide of the mark at the striker's end but Healy does an excellent job backing up to collect, then runs eight yards to the stumps herself to take the bails off because Bhatia had given up. 28/310.2 partnership broken and Rodrigues is so angry at herself! Short ball from Brown, Jemi tried to ride the bounce and ramp it over the keeper, but she has got a tiny edge. A top innings but one that India would've wanted more of. 97/414.4 full ball on off stump. Gets low and sweeps with a lot of power. Along the ground. Mooney with a dive in the deep, and a throw at the top of the stumps too. But Healy has whipped the bails off in a flash and Harmanpreet doesn't seem too happy with her own running. Has she been run out at the keeper's end? Oh no - Harmanpreet's bat got stuck while she tried to drag it back in and the captain is O-U-T! She walks back for 52 but not before having some words for Richa and the incoming batter. 133/515.6 what a way to end your spell, Darcie Brown! A Player of the Match performance on a good batting track you'd have to think, if Australia win. Length ball, quick delivery, Ghosh rocks back and tries to tonk it over wide long on, but she's hit it to the fielder on the boundary line. Camera pans to Harmanpreet, who now wears a despondent look. 135/618.6 Jonassen has done her job Drops her length. Leg-stump line and Rana comes skipping down for a big shot. Misses, leg-stump clattered. 157/719.4 six? No, doesn't have the power. Taken at long on, and fittingly it is Perry who takes the catch. She danced down the wicket to look for the big shot. Just didn't have enough against the slower bowler. Lanning with a big fist pump as Australia begin to dream about their finals date on Sunday. 162/8Extras11 (nb 2, w 9)TOTAL167/8 (20 Overs, RR: 8.35)Did not bat: Renuka SinghFall of wickets: 1-11 (Shafali Verma, 1.3 ov), 2-15 (Smriti Mandhana, 2.2 ov), 3-28 (Yastika Bhatia, 3.4 ov), 4-97 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 10.2 ov), 5-133 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 14.4 ov), 6-135 (Richa Ghosh, 15.6 ov), 7-157 (Sneh Rana, 18.6 ov), 8-162 (Radha Yadav, 19.4 ov)
