  1. Ind 140-0

    King drops 'difficult chance' at short mid-wicket from Rawal chip shot

    Smriti Mandhana is really opening her shoulders now, hammering Tahlia McGrath down the ground but it drops short of the boundary.

    This is the closest Australia have come to taking a wicket so far.

  2. How's stat?!

    Smriti Mandhana has become the fifth batter to reach 5,000 women's ODI runs. This is also the first hundred opening partnership of this World Cup.

    Sophie Molineux is almost trying to keep the ball away from the shorter straight boundaries.

  4. Ind 137-0

    Australia left-arm spinner Sophie Molineux decides to bowl very wide off stump to the left-handed Smriti Mandhana but her plan does not quite come off.

    Molineux is called for a couple of wides either side of seeing a full toss disappear off Mandhana's bat for four down through the long-on region.

    Australia under the pump here.

    Australia are being put under pressure here, something they are not used to. They have used six bowlers so far this innings.

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

    This acceleration from India has been almost effortless. They have played it on merit. India are really getting a move on here.

  7. Ind 128-0

    Australia's bowlers have looked a little flummoxed on this pitch. A team who are used to having things all their way have been shown a few cracks here.

    Tahila McGrath's first two balls are punished by Pratika Rawal, who mixes power and panache.

    The India opener spins on her heels to pull a short ball to the fence then gently leg glances the next ball of her pads for another four.

    I am absolutely mesmerised by that shot from Smriti Mandhana. What a beautiful shot!

  9. Melissa Story
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Smriti Mandhana has now passed 5,000 runs in ODI cricket for India. A remarkable career from her, and it almost feels like it is in its infancy despite being around for so long.

  10. 6 runs

    Ind 118-0

    'Stand and deliver!' - Mandhana 'launches' six over deep extra cover

    Boom! the crowd erupts as Smriti Mandhana hammers Kim Garth for six down the ground.

    A penny for Alyssa Healy's thoughts on the toss? She put India in here...

  11. Nikesh Rughani
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    What a shot that is from Pratika Rawal, and she held the pose as well. It has been slapped out to long off. What a way to bring your half-century, her seventh in ODI cricket, along with one century.

  12. 50 runs

    Fifty for Pratika Rawal

    'Beautiful' play by Rawal as Indian batter reaches her half-century

    Pratika Rawal brings up her half-century in a quite delicious fashion.

    She drives Kim Garth on the up, holding the pose with real poise for the camera, as the ball goes down the ground for four.

    Stylish stuff.

    Fans in Visakhapatnam

    What a first 20 overs for India, whose fans have come out in big numbers. There’s such a sense of occasion here, every run is greeted with a huge roar.

  14. Ind 107-0

    Tahila McGrath keeps it full and manages to stymie the run-rate a little. Just two singles off her over.

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

    The greater the challenge, the more Smriti Mandhana turns it on. You always want players like that in your team.

  16. Ind 105-0

    Pratika Rawal with a big of slog off Kim Garth down to cow corner for four.

    A couple of balls later and Smriti Mandhana smears a shorter delivery, out of the back of the hand, round the corner for another boundary.

    Australia looking devoid of ideas here.

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

    India have started to attack in these last few overs, and the pitch is looking very tame right now. India would be happier out of the two sides so far.

  18. 50 runs

    Fifty for Mandhana

    Mandhana earns 33rd career ODI fifty as India get off to impressive start

    Smriti Mandhana works the returning Kim Garth square with a gentle pull for a single.

    She has a half-century off 46 balls.

  19. Ind 94-0

    Tahlia McGrath causing a few issues with her steady seam up, albeit while bowling a few wides.

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

    I am not sure how much hand Alana King got to that. The ball just held a little bit. She did incredibly well to get close to it, and Australia are gutted not to get the breakthrough.
