  1. Ind 74-1

    One-bounce four!

    After four consecutive singles, Harleen Deol smacks Sugandika Kumari for a boundary in a similar location to Rawal's single a few overs ago.

    A fifth single ends the over.

  2. How's stat?!

    Sri Lanka are on their fourth bowling option here but Cricviz's captaincy grid reckons they should bring on Inoka Ranaweera to break up this partnership. Green is a good match-up and red a bad option for the skipper.

  3. Ind 65-1

    India work Kavisha Dilhari around for five singles, while a wide makes it six runs from the over.

    All rather sedate here, bar Pratika Rawal's big six that momentarily woke us from our stupor.

  4. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    We expected this pitch to be quite fruitful but it may be that Sri Lanka have just bowled good lines and lengths.

    Sri Lanka lack power with the batting but I have a feeling they could cause some upsets.

  5. Ind 59-1

    Sugandika Kumari finishes with two dot balls.

    Pratika Rawal's six was the first boundary since Harleen Deol's four off the penultimate ball of the eighth over.

    The first sign of intent from Pratika Rawal and India in general. Use of the feet and straight out the middle of the bat.

    A little bit of a swagger from Pratika too.

  7. 6 runs

    Ind 59-1

    Well, that's woken everyone up!

    Pratika Rawal steps down and dumps Sugandika Kumari over the long-off boundary for the first six of the tournament.

  8. WinViz is favouring India at the moment, presumably knowing they are building a nice platform for their middle-order strokemakers.

  9. Ind 52-1

    A fourth bowler for Sri Lanka into the attack - it's 24-year-old spinner Kavisha Dilhari.

    Two singles from the over - the fourth consecutive time that's happened, we've had nine runs in total since the resumption.

  10. Ind 50-1

    Pratika Rawal brings up India's half-century, pushing the last ball of the returning Sugandika Kumari's over out to cover point for a single.

    It comes from 84 balls - we haven't had a boundary for 37 deliveries.

    Sri Lanka don't necessarily have star players but they do the basics well.

    They bowl straight and a good length and their ground fielding has been really impressive today. They have technically correct players so are improving in their discipline.

  12. Ind 48-1

    Repeat of the previous over, two singles coming from Achini Kulasuriya's effort.

    Sri Lanka are burning through a fair few overs from their opening seamers.

    Pratika Rawal is that solid top-order player for India.

    She doesn't have the flashiness of Harmanpreet Kaur or the power of Smriti Mandhana but she is so reliable and has established herself so well.

  14. Ind 46-1

    The veteran seamer Udeshika Prabodhani continues for her sixth over.

    Two singles come from it, as India ease back into their groove after the interruption.

    Incidentally, because of the delay we've lost two overs from the innings.

  15. Ind 44-1

    Rawal 18, Deol 16

    So Achini Kulasuriya gets us back under way for Sri Lanka.

    Her first spell lasted four overs, but after an hour and 20 minutes off the field she's good to go again having technically only been off for one over at this end.

    Harleen Deol takes the only run from the first six balls post-resumption, pushing into the covers.

    Well, that was quick.

    We didn't even get a resumption time, the players have just wandered out.

    A rare case of getting on with it in international cricket - we resume with India on 43-1 after 10 overs.

  17. Big covers coming off, now back to just a single strip on the wicket.

    I don't want to speak too soon, but this is looking fairly promising...

    The opening match of the World Cup has been suspended because of the weather but why isn't cricket played in the rain?

    Never fear - BBC Sport's Ask Me Anything team have the answer right here.

  19. 'Into the pressure cooker' - England's World Cup chances

    England women's winter of turbulence led them to a summer of soul searching.

    A disastrous T20 World Cup group-stage exit at the hands of West Indies was glossed over by beating South Africa away, only for a full-scale implosion down under as Australia inflicted a 16-0 defeat in the multi-format series.

    Change was inevitable: Jon Lewis and Heather Knight out, Charlotte Edwards and Nat Sciver-Brunt were quickly ushered in.

    Now, they are about to enter the pressure cooker again.

    BBC Sport's Ffion Wynne takes a look at what England's expectations are and who will be key to their success.
