    Dropped catch - Rodrigues on 106

    Tahlia McGrath, running back, puts down Jemimah Rodrigues.

    Dropped in the 50s, dropped in the 80s, dropped on 106.

    Deary me.

  2. Ind 284-4

    Need 55 runs from 42 balls

    India tick off another four runs, including a wide. Australia cannot afford extras.

  3. Abhishek Jhunjhunwala
    Former IPL batter on Test Match Special

    India have the momentum now. What a shot from Jemimah Rodrigues.

    You need a lot of courage to play that shot and execute it.

  4. Ind 280-4

    What a time to pull out a reverse sweep! That's Jemimah Rodrigues' first boundary since the 28th over.

    India need a couple of 12-15 run overs to get themselves ahead. Good luck Josh @ 16.34!

    Dan, Wolverhampton

    They've just had one, Dan...

  6. 6 runs

    Ind 276-4

    Need 63 runs from 48 balls

    "Has this got the distance?" says Steven Finn. Oh Finny, it has the distance and then some.

    Six for Radha Yadav over mid-off and 12 runs off the over.

    Former IPL batter on Test Match Special

    This is an innings that will go down in history if Jemimah Rodrigues can get her team over the line.

  8. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    A subdued celebration from Jemimah Rodrigues because she knows she still has hard work to do.

  9. 100 runs

    100 for Jemimah Rodrigues

    Ind 269-4

    Jemimah Rodrigues exchanges a small handshake with Richa Ghosh but little more.

    She's reached 100 off 115 balls, including 10 boundaries.

  10. Ind 264-4

    Need 75 runs from 54 balls

    Seven runs for India. The big wicket of Deepti Sharma for Australia.

    Alyssa Healy is sticking with Megan Schutt.

  11. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    That is not what India needed or wanted. Deepti Sharma is in serious trouble here.

    Could this be a pivotal moment? It is heart-breaking.

    WICKET

    Deepti run out (Garth) 24 (Ind 264-4)

    Jemimah Rodrigues tapped and ran. Deepti Sharma was slower to set off.

    Instead of sending her partner back, she tries to make up the ground but can't beat Kim Garth's arm.

    That feels like a huge breakthrough but Richa Ghosh can most certainly bat.

    Australia get potentially 'pivotal' wicket as Deepti run out on 24

  13. India need 82 off 60 balls. Ash Gardner returns to bowl the 41st. She has five overs left.

    Thumbs again... Australia up, India down. Go.

    Got a table booked at restaurant for our wedding anniversary. Just had to ring them to push it back as can’t take eyes off this. Let’s just say I haven’t got a happy wife.

    England all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    These Australia fielders are desperate to stop as many runs as possible. They are putting in full-body dives whenever they can.

  16. Ind 257-3

    Need 82 runs from 60 balls

    Megan Schutt returns to the attack for the first time since the powerplay.

    She starts with three singles and then it gets a bit messy. There's a wide delivery, which requires a big hand from Alyssa Healy to stop it from racing away to the boundary.

    Then, there's a head-high full toss. Of course, Deepti Sharma is caught off the free hit.

    Eight off the over.

    This looks like business out there. Deepti Sharma needs to be the one to take on Alana King if anyone is.

  18. Ind 249-3

    Target 339

    Deepti Sharma starts another over with a boundary, dispatching Alana King down the ground.

    She reverse sweeps the next ball but Sophie Molineux puts in a sharp stop to save three runs.

    Eight from the over.

  19. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Who is going to blink first? Australia's nerve has been tested before in this tournament and they have always come out on the good side of it.

  20. Ind 241-3

    Target 339

    Boom. A boundary for Deepti Sharma to start the 38th over, banging the ball through mid-wicket for four.

    Annabel Sutherland pulls it back, however, conceding three singles from her next five balls.

    The required rate is hovering around eight an over.
