  1. Ind 240-4

    Rodrigues 6, Ghosh 0

    Richa Ghosh is the next in for India. That's the right call. She has been their form batter in this tournament but has been coming in as low as eight.

    That last over was a wicket maiden from Sophie Molineux. Superb.

    Another big wicket for Australia in such a crucial time. They just got Kaur and now Deol as well. A big moment in the game and a big opportunity for Australia.

    WICKET

    Deol c Sutherland b Molineux 38 (Ind 240-4)

    Sutherland takes catch at long off from Deol to halt India's momentum

    Trouble. Harleen Deol, having played so well, slices a catch high to long-off. She was aiming back over the head of bowler Sophie Molineux but didn't get to the pitch. Now Australia sense their moment.

  4. Ind 240-3

    Deol 38, Rodrigues 6

    New batter, same result as Jemimah Rodrigues gets four from her first delivery. This one was a bit edgy in fairness. India have to keep pushing on.

    The Indian skipper is gone, and it is Megan Schutt who makes the crucial breakthrough. Just when you thought Kaur was becoming dangerous, she has been dismissed.

    WICKET

    Kaur c Molineux b Schutt 22 (Ind 234-3)

    Schutt takes catch at backward point from Kaur as Australia 'make crucial breakthrough'

    Visakhapatnam is quiet now! Harmanpreet Kaur has cut a wider ball from Megan Schutt straight to the fielder at point. I think that was a plan from the Aussies. Kaur was backing away to give herself room. She just couldn't control her shot having done so.

  7. Raf Nicholson
    Cricket journalist on BBC Sounds

    The ball just seems to be evading the Australian hands here. You can see with the way Kaur is batting that she is getting ready to slog here.

  8. Ind 233-2

    Deol 37, Kaur 22

    This crowd is loud in Visakhapatnam. They're cheering as a skewed sweep only just clears mid-on.

  9. Melissa Story
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Kaur is certainly fired up now after that near run-out. Perhaps Harleen Deol knows what she's doing.

  10. Ind 173-2

    Deol 35, Kaur 19

    Tasty. Harmanpreet Kaur charges off for a single, only to be sent back by Harleen Deol. The India skipper has to scramble to get back and then fires a volley towards her batting partner.

    She's furious with Deol for not accepting the call. Even after hitting the next ball for four she's still having a pop. It's working because Kaur cuts the next ball for four too.

    Mandana hits six over deep backward point as Perry takes catch behind boundary rope

    Look at India and Australia, compared to England, they are on a different level in batting and fielding. England are probably up there in bowling terms, but not in the other two disciplines.

  12. Ind 218-2

    India have got to be targeting 350 at least, haven't they? You still wouldn't rule out this Australia batting line-up either.

  13. Melissa Story
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    If India accelerates from this point onwards at 10 runs per over, then they would get to 380. If they continue at the current run rate, then they would get to 318.

  14. Speaking of Sutherland's wicket. Here is it...

    Perry takes catch at backward square leg after Rawal's pull shot goes short

  15. Drinks - Ind 210-2

    All-rounder Annabel Sutherland, who nabbed the wicket of Pratika Rawal, continues with another good over which includes only two singles. Sutherland is mixing through her slower balls very effectively.

    That'll be drinks. India remain in the box seat.

  16. Alice Davidson-Richards
    England cricket all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Kaur means business when she has that big backswing.

  17. Ind 208-2

    Deol 27, Kaur 7

    And if you thought that cheer was loud, the one that greets Harmanpreet's first four is another level. The India skipper biffs Alana King's leg-spin over her head, just after Harleen Deol had swept another four.

    This is the best pitch of the tournament. It's producing the most watchable cricket too.

  18. Ind 197-2

    The cheers are huge as Harmanpreet Kaur arrives in the middle.

  19. wicket

    WICKET

    Rawal c Perry b Sutherland 75 (Ind 192-2)

    Perry takes catch at backward square leg after Rawal's pull shot goes short

    Pratika Rawal falls pulling to fine leg! She hit it well, somewhere near the middle, but has timed the ball straight into Ellyse Perry's hands.

  20. Raf Nicholson
    Cricket journalist on BBC Sounds

    Pratika Rawal offers you consistency, which is phenomenal and similar to Smriti Mandhana, as they are impact players. The consistency is what India wants and needs, especially as both are opening batters.
