- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.5 Two in two for Sri Lanka! Both openers are gone. Fuller outside off, a tired Shafali comes down the track, heaves this towards offside with not timing on it. Comes off the edge to cover and Gunaratne completes the catch 98/212.4 Is Mandhana out? She was little slow to run though. Full on the stumps, she goes back and punches to covers. But the throw is clean to Chamari at non-striker's end and she is quick to remove the bails. Replays confirm Mandhana is just short of the crease. 98-run first-wicket partnership has been broken 98/116.2 Straight to Prabodani! Soft dismissal. Full length delivery outside off stump, Rodrigues looks to slice this towards point, but it falls into the hands of backward point fielder. Rodrigues is clearly upset 128/3Extras5 (nb 1, w 4)TOTAL172/3 (20 Overs, RR: 8.6)Fall of wickets: 1-98 (Smriti Mandhana, 12.4 ov), 2-98 (Shafali Verma, 12.5 ov), 3-128 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 16.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 RADHA TAKES A SCREAMER!!! All the India fielders rush to hug her and celebrate. That is some catch. She was at backward point, she runs back to her right - diagonally - and has Rodrigues in her periphery. Yet never does she takes her eyes off the ball and dives full stretch to her left now to complete the catch. Despite Ghosh standing up, Gunaratne walked down the track to go over the in-field but was denied by a fielding brilliance by the substitute 0/11.5 Pat(il) on the back for Shreyanka! That is why she was brought on ahead of Deepti: Sri Lanka hadn't faced her in the Asia Cup and she can get more spin than Deepti. And Patil delivers with a big wicket. Lands it on a fullish length just outside off, it straightens after landing. Athapaththu pushes forwards slightly defensively, enough for the ball to grab the outside edge and go low to Deepti at slip. India mean business 4/22.2 Is there a feather? The umpire thinks so and Samarawickrama does not contest it. Renuka weaves her magic now, landing it on a fullish length around off, inviting the drive. She goes for it and nicks it behind. Ghosh and Renuka knew it, so did the umpire 6/311.6 Excellent catch from Renuka. Here comes the second wicket for Reddy. She bowls this full and on middle and leg stump, Dilhari brings out the sweep but gets an edge. Renuka at short fine leg jogs back, dives to her left to take the catch. Not an easy one but she has done well to complete it 58/67.6 Ghosh whips the bails off and poses the question. This was coming, wasn't it? Asha was applying the squeeze and Sanjeewani was itching to cut loose. She dances down, Asha lands it on a length outside off, slower through the air, and gets it to rip away. Sanjeewani fails to make contact and Ghosh disturbs the stumps quickly even though she had to collect it from a fair distance. This is very close as Sanjeewani's back leg seems to be just on the crease. "Batter is short of the ground," says Sue Redfern before OUT flashes on the big screen. Asha breaks through a promising stand, thanks to some superb glovework from Ghosh 43/411.2 Reddy strikes! Full length delivery on middle and off stump, 93.5kmph, she looks to flick this away to on side, but gets a big edge to Shafali, who goes back from point to complete the catch. SL five down 57/518.2 It goes to Radha again! Fuller outside off stump, knuckle ball, Kanchana goes for a slog sweep but holes out to deep midwicket. Radha, the substitute fielder, jogs back a bit and completes her third catch of the day. Third wicket for Reddy 86/912.6 Confident appeal from Richa for caught behind! Did it carry is the question. Yes, India review this. Floated up on middle and off, Sugandika goes for a sweep and can't connect properly. Replays show there is a clear edge, touching the toe end of the bat. Richa stays low and dives in front to collect the ball and then removes the bails just in case. Incredible catch from the keeper 61/714.2 Third wicket for Asha! and it goes straight into the hands of Radha, one of India's finest fielders. Fuller on the stumps, she goes against the turn and brings out the sweep only to be caught at deep midwicket 65/819.5 Deepti finishes things off! tossed up outside off, Prabodani lofts this towards mid-off, Mandhana moves back a bit before completing the catch.
