    WICKET

    Kulasuriya c Mandhana b Shree Charani 17 (SL 199-9)

    India's Kranti Goud (C) celebrates with teammatesGetty Images

    Achini Kulasuriya goes for a sweep and holes out to Smriti Mandhana at long on.

    She departs for 17. Can Sri Lanka make it to 200?

    That just shows what pace on the ball can do. It can race away to the boundary.

    This is a good chance for Kranti Goud to practice her death bowling for later in the tournament.

  3. SL 199-8

    Need 72 runs from 30 balls

    With an edged four from Udeshika Prabodhani and two singles, Sri Lanka move onto 199-8.

  4. SL 192-8

    Need 78 runs from 36 balls

    Three singles from Pratika Rawal's second over.

    She has four ODI wickets to her name, if anyone's interested.

  5. Not out

    Missing leg stump. Ah well, says Harmanpreet Kaur.

    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    This will be a complete waste of time if Harmanpreet Kaur sends it upstairs.

  7. India review

    India have a review left so Harmanpreet Kaur decides to use it.

    It's an lbw shout against Udeshika Prabodhani. It doesn't look especially promising.

  8. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    This game will give Sri Lanka hope. They have got to back themselves to chase 220 and then see what happens after that.

  9. SL 190-8

    Need 81 runs from 42 balls

    Deepti Sharma bowls a maiden. She finishes with figures of 3-54.

    The stadium is looking quite empty now given the late hour but the attendance for the World Cup opener in Guwahati comes in at 22,834.

  10. SL 190-8

    Need 81 runs from 48 balls

    Harmanpreet Kaur turns to opening batter Pratika Rawal for the 39th over. She's bowling in a cap.

    Sri Lanka take two singles and the required rate goes above 10 runs an over.

  11. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Deepti Sharma has been expensive today but she has picked up wickets so you can sort of see past it.

  12. SL 188-8

    Need 83 runs from 54 balls

    Achini Kulasuriya adds another boundary to her individual tally, reverse-sweeping Deepti Sharma away to the rope. That's her third four of the evening.

    It's the only scoring shot of the over.

  13. SL 184-8

    Need 87 runs from 60 balls

    Sneh Rana ends her allocation with a half-hearted lbw appeal against Udeshika Prabodhani.

    She finishes with excellent figures of 2-32 from 10 overs.

    Sneh Rana has had a huge impact on the match. It just shows how much depth this India side has.

    WICKET

    Kumari b Rana 10 (SL 184-8)

    Sugandika Kumari tries to sweep but makes a hash of it and has her stumps rearranged by Sneh Rana. Lovely bowling.

    It is a case now of how quickly can India get these last three wickets?

    If they can concede as few runs as possible it will give them a confidence boost but also a huge net run-rate.

  17. SL 182-7

    Target 271

    Deepti Sharma grimaces as Achini Kulasuriya sweeps her for four.

    And again! This time it's a bit more aerial, but the fielder running around was never in contention.

    This will be frustrating India now. They'd have been hoping to rattle through Sri Lanka's tail.

  18. SL 174-7

    Target 271

    12 overs remaining and the required run rate has just ticked above eight an over.

    Nilakshi de Silva was trying to be innovative there and ramp over the shoulder but she just could not execute.

    The body language is positive from the India players.

    WICKET

    De Silva b Rana 35 (SL 173-7)

    Sneh Rana ensures India won't pay for that dropped catch, bowling Nilakshi de Silva for 35 (29).

    With 1-29 from her 8.4 overs, she deserved that wicket.
