    Ind 209-0published at 32.4 overs

    Clouted over backward square for six!

    Jess Kerr sends down a big full toss and Smriti Mandhana climbs into it, lofting the ball high over the ropes.

    It's a no ball too, so Kerr still has two deliveries to bowl in the over.

    Prior to that, Pratika Rawal dropped to a knee and sent Kerr for four through fine leg, bringing up India's 200.

  3. Ind 195-0published at 32 overs

    Suzie Bates' second over goes for three singles.

    Hers is short spinner's run-up, coming round the wicket, but I'd say on balance she's still bowling seam.

  4. Ind 192-0published at 31 overs

    Eyes on Pratika Rawal now as she looks to join Smriti Mandhana on a century.

    She knocks a single to long-on to move to 77.

    A fantastic opening partnership and a remarkable innings from Smriti Mandhana. The India dugout called this happening.

    Smriti Mandhana is celebrating like somebody who will not be happy with just a century.

    Ind 191-0

    A 14th ODI century for Smriti Mandhana!

    The opener works Jess Kerr's first ball to long-on for a single, is immediately returned to the strike by Pratika Rawal, and pushes another run into the covers to bring up the landmark from 88 balls.

    That's India's first hundred in this tournament.

    New Zealand will be looking back on the decision to change the bowlers so much at the beginning.

    How long can India keep their foot on the gas for however?

    Here's the veteran Suzie Bates to replace the beleaguered Lea Tahuhu - this is Bates' first over of the tournament.

    Her first three balls are scoreless, before Smriti Mandhana works the fourth between short third and backward point, with neither fielder seeming to pick the ball up and seeing it go for four.

    A two and a further single take Mandhana to 98.

    A quieter remainder of the over, with Smriti Mandhana taking a single to mid-wicket and Pratika Rawal seeing out three dot balls.

    That is a glorious strike from Smriti Mandhana. Effortless as well.

    Smriti Mandhana wants the win to the race!

    She launches Melie Kerr's first delivery over long-on for six, then adds four with a sweep through backward square.

    That takes her to 90.

  13. Ind 170-0published at 28 overs

    Pratika Rawal, starting the over on 66, does some work to catch-up her opening colleague in the race for a century.

    She hits Lea Tahuhu for two fours, beating a diving Georgia Plimmer on the point ropes and cracking a shot through mid-wicket.

    Tahuhu has gone for 37 runs from her four overs, and seems to be struggling a bit physically.

  14. Ind 160-0published at 27 overs

    More runs for Smriti Mandhana, top-edging over square leg for toe.

    Can the India opener now push on to her century?

    It looked very close to the inside edge. It was not a spiky noise on the review system but it could not have been any other noise than Smriti Mandhana's bat.

    I am flabbergasted at that.

    An inside edge... apparently!

    Smriti Mandhana was walking off, but the technology has a spike as the ball passes the bat.

    Melie Kerr isn't happy, but Mandhana survives on 77.

    Smriti Mandhana is going to have a chat about reviewing. To me, that looks out.

    Have we been able to summon that wicket?

    Smriti Mandhana gets in a muddle trying to strike Melie Kerr into the leg side.

    Up goes Sue Redfearn's finger, the opener decides to review but it doesn't look hopeful.

  20. Ind 155-0published at 26 overs

    Pratika Rawal picks up her ninth four of the innings, lifting Lea Tahuhu over mid-wicket for a one-bounce four.

    That takes India past 150.
