    Baig dismisses Harmanpreet for 19 as India captain caught behind down leg side

    Hamranpreet Kaur won't have the chance to use any of that bug spray...

    It's a fairly soft dismissal for the India captain as Harmanpreet tries to glance the ball fine off her hip but is caught behind down the leg side.

    Well taken tumbling down to her left by Sidra Nawaz and Diana Baig strikes in her first over back.

    I'm not sure what can really be done about this fly situation but it looks like some bug spray will be brought out at the end of the over.

    Some really good fielding on display from Pakistan. Those are the small moments that can really make a difference to the game.

  4. Ind 105-2published at 24.1 overs

    Not badly at all.

    First ball with the new ball - and the first delivery of seam bowling for a while - is driven smartly through the covers by Harmanpreet Kaur but stopped just shy of the boundary. Two.

    We've got a delay now as the India batters talk to the umpires. It seems to be about the large number of bugs/flies that we've seen on the field since the start of the match.

    Deol 31, Harmanpreet 17

    Another very tidy over from Nashra Sandhu, only a couple of singles from it.

    Harmanpreet Kaur thinks something needs to change so she calls for a new bat. Let's see how she gets on with this one...

    Sadia Iqbal has bowled extremely well. She has got 28 dot balls so far.

    That percentage of dot balls is so important for creating pressure but she needs support from the other end.

  7. Ind 101-2published at 23 overs

    Sadia Iqbal has been very impressive since returning to the attack.

    The left-arm spinner conceded eight in the first over of the innings and was quickly replaced but since coming back, she's taken 1-16 from her next six.

    Just a single from this one as we approach the halfway stage of the innings.

    Harmanpreet Kaur went 17 innings without a fifty in international cricket before returning to form with a century against England in July. She also made 52 against Australia last month.

    A brilliant shot from Harmanpreet Kaur. She skipped down the track and leant on top of the ball to bisect the field.

    Very effortless from the captain.

    Delicately played by Harleen Deol as she guides a late cut fine, down to deep third for four.

    Nashra Sandhu is really taking the pace off the ball and there are cries of 'catch it!' when Harmanpreet Kaur is through her shot too early and a leading edge arcs towards mid-off, falling just short.

    The India captain adjusts quickly and skips down to drive the next ball wide of mid-on for four. That brings up the 100 for batting side.

    Deol 24, Harmanpreet 10

    It looks like we've got a decent game on right now and perhaps the best news of the day is that since play started, we've not had to mention the weather once.

    Given how poor the forecast was, even getting in this much cricket felt optimistic after yesterday's washout at the same ground in Colombo.

    Harleen Deol has been waiting for an opportunity to dance down the pitch. The lack of pace on the ball at the moment is giving her those chances.

  13. Ind 86-2published at 20 overs

    After just six runs from the past three overs, Harleen Deol breaks the shackles by charging Nashra Sandhu and hitting confidently over wide mid-off for four.

    She follows up with a sweep and gets a top-edge. The ball loops towards square leg but well clear of any fielders, just a single.

    Eight from the over for India.

  14. Ind 78-2published at 19 overs

    Ooh. Turn and bounce for Sadia Iqbal.

    It looks slightly short from the spinner and Harmanpreet Kaur goes back to cut, but the ball spits up and turns sharply to beat the edge.

    Very much the exception rather than the rule based on what we've seen so far but that kind of delivery will stay in a batter's head.

  15. Ind 77-2published at 18 overs

    More spin as slow left-armer Nashra Sandhu comes on and makes a tidy start.

    Just a pair of singles from the over. Pakistan are really making India work for their runs at the moment, despite the clear intent from both Harmanpreet Kaur and Harleen Deol.

  16. How's stat?!published at 11:51 BST

    Harmanpreet Kaur actually has an iffy record against Pakistan, averaging just 14.75 in five previous matches with a top score of 24.

  17. Ind 75-2published at 17 overs

    Just three singles from Sadia Iqbal's latest but that doesn't tell you the half of it in this over.

    The third ball sees Harmanpreet Kaur stuck in two minds on whether to go forward or back and she ends up doing neither, escaping a plumb lbw decision thanks to an inside edge.

    Harleen Deol calls for through for a single, there's a direct hit but Deol was safely in. Two close calls in one ball for Pakistan

    A third comes last ball of the over as a thick edge from from Harmanpreet drops just shy of the short third fielder.

  18. Ind 72-2published at 16 overs

    Harmanpreet Kaur is off the mark with a boundary.

    She punches the ball through the covers off the back foot, it hangs in the air for a while but dips and bounces before it reaches the fielder then skips away to the rope.

  19. Ind 67-2published at 15 overs

    Harmanpreet Kaur is the new batter for India. The captain drives her first ball firmly into the covers but straight to a fielder.

    That wicket has made things very interesting.

    Sadia Iqbal got that swing movement into the stumps on that ball. Pratika Rawal took her eyes off the ball and it was much closer to the stumps than previous deliveries.

    India have clearly been told to put their foot down and it is making this game interesting now.
