  1. Aus 226-3

    So close! Annabel Sutherland pops the ball towards Sree Charani but it drops just short of the bowler.

  2. Aus 225-3

    It's true, Alice, other than an unbeaten 98 from 112 balls against England, Annabel Sutherland has been a bit meh with the bat. Her other scores are 5, 1, 0, and 10*.

    But this is arguably the perfect stage for her, with Australia's great platform and a set batter in Ellyse Perry at the other end meaning there's very little pressure on her shoulders.

    Australia take five singles off Renuka Singh.

    Annabel Sutherland has not had the best tournament so far. She has mainly dominated with the ball.

    If you are going to get her out, you want to get her out early.

    Sree Charani has been the best bowler for India today and she deserved that today.

    Beth Mooney batted well but India will be so pleased with that wicket.

    Jemimah Rodrigues hangs on and Sree Charani gets her just rewards!

    WICKET

    Mooney c Rodrigues b Charani 24 (Aus 220-3)

    Rodrigues takes catch at cover as Mooney walks for 24

    Sree Charani returns... and strikes!

    Beth Mooney drives to Jemimah Rodrigues, who takes a catch above her head in the covers.

    Mooney departs for a swift 24 from 22 balls. She and Ellyse Perry put on 40 from 40 for the third wicket.

    Here comes Annabel Sutherland.

  7. Abhishek Jhunjhunwala
    Former IPL batter on Test Match Special

    Deepti Sharma is bowling over the wicket to the left-handed Beth Mooney which is unusual. Usually you would come round the wicket.

    Maybe she wants to bowl at the angle where she is going across the batter but it does not bring the lbw into play at all.

  8. Aus 215-2

    Radha Yadav throws her head back in frustration. Beth Mooney's miscued strike nearly carried to her at long-off.

    It was looking like a good over for Deepti Sharma, conceding four singles from five balls.

    And then... Mooney! She came down, outstretched her arms and somehow heaved the final delivery through mid-wicket for four.

    Beth Mooney of Australia (R) speaks to team mate Ellyse PerryGetty Images

    This looks like such a good pitch to bat on. The ball is coming onto the bat so well and there is hardly any turn. We saw some when the spinners started but since then there has not been much.

  10. Aus 207-2

    Perry 'launches' Amanjot delivery over long-on for six

    200 up for Australia as Beth Mooney pounces on a short delivery and pulls Amanjot Kaur for four.

    Two balls later, Ellyse Perry takes one step down and swings for the hills. SIX!

    Is she kicking up a gear?

  11. Aus 196-2

    Australia's line-up has just flashed up on screen. Scary to think that even Kim Garth, batting at 10, has a couple of ODI fifties to her name...

    Ellyse Perry of AustraliaGetty Images

    Ellyse Perry is such a quality player. She has built this innings and taken responsibility after the captain fell.

  13. 50 runs

    50 for Ellyse Perry

    Aus 195-2

    Ellyse Perry runs a single to bring up her half-century off 66 balls.

    In light of Phoebe Litchfield's knock, Perry's contribution will probably go under the radar but the veteran all-rounder has provided excellent stability to Australia's innings.

  14. Aus 193-2

    Beth Mooney and Ellyse Perry run hard and add five runs to Australia's tally.

    What did Steven Finn say earlier? Take the score at 30 overs and double it? In that case, India will chasing north of 380. Gulp.

  15. Aus 188-2

    So, a good over for India is followed by a frustrating one.

    They lose a review with a complete bizarre lbw appeal and after getting rid of one sweeper in Phoebe Litchfield, find themselves facing another, with Beth Mooney taking on Radha Yadav and smacking her for four.

  16. Abhishek Jhunjhunwala
    Former IPL batter on Test Match Special

    That is one of the poorest reviews. Somebody needs to explain the rules to Harmanpreet Kaur.

    It just shows how desperate India are for wickets.

  17. Not out

    That was a waste of a review. Pitching outside leg. Move on.

  18. India review

    Well, that was a stealthy review from Harmranpreet Kaur... I didn't see the signal go up.

    India are interested in an lbw against Beth Mooney.

  19. Abhishek Jhunjhunwala
    Former IPL batter on Test Match Special

    India needed that desperately and they need more wickets now to stop the flow of runs.

  20. Aus 181-2

    A good over from India. Just three runs from it and the huge wicket of Phoebe Litchfield.

    But given Australia's batting depth, that is wicket is only a tiny dent in their armour.
