Oh dear. Captain Chamari Athapaththu brings herself into the attack but it doesn't have the desired effect for Sri Lanka.
Back-to-back boundaries from Harleen Deol, who's on the brink of a half-century (48 off 63), and 11 runs off the over.
Thanks Mike.
Harmanpreet Kaur has added a bit of oomph to India's innings - striking above 100 for her 21 (18) - but she'll probably want her side to get north of 220 on the board.
Harmanpreet's more than OK to continue!
She smacks the first delivery since the interruption out to the point boundary and the fielder out there can't gather properly and sees the ball run onto the ropes.
A further two on the off side closes the over, and that's my cue to hand over to Elizabeth Botcherby for the remainder of this innings.

That looked like it hurt Harmanpreet Kaur so much. Put a helmet on!
In England, you have to wear one regardless of the format.
Harmanpreet Kaur brings up India's century from the first ball of Inoka Ranaweera's third over, sweeping for a single.
She adds two - the second of the innings - out past point, before top-edging into her chin on the sweep.
The India captain is not wearing a helmet, but doesn't seem to have sustained any notable damage and after a drink she's OK to continue.

If they can't pick up boundaries, then how can they get twos? They need to up their run-rate ever so slightly.
Kavisha Dilhari struggles with her line a little, conceding consecutive wides on either side of the wicket.
Four singles from the over as India edge towards the hundred mark.
Meanwhile here's Pratika Rawal's dismissal.
Vishmi Gunaratne's an expert juggler, available for booking for birthday parties and circus-themed events.
She's probably not going to be booked for anything staged by India's openers though.
Gunaratne catch dismisses Rawal for 37
A first four for Harmanpreet Kaur!
A big half-tracker from Inoka Ranaweera and the India captain hacks it away through square.
Somewhat aerial, but it's between two fielders.

Sri Lanka would have snapped your hand off if you had offered them this at the beginning.
Harmanpreet Kaur will be really important here for India.
Three singles off Kavisha Dilhari's fourth over.
She's gone for 0-18 thus far.

India have not been able to inject a huge amount of momentum.
They haven't exactly frozen at the occasion but they certainly have not risen to it.
India captain Harmanpreet Kaur comes to the crease wearing a cap, and immediately gets off the mark with a swept couple of runs to fine leg.
Remarkably, that's the first two of the innings.

A shot played out of frustration from Pratika Rawal but there was no pace at all.

A wicket for the match-up predictor!
At 12:57, we said left-arm spinner Inoka Ranaweera could break-up this partnership.
Two balls into her over and she's done it - Pratika Rawal clips her delivery out to deep mid-wicket where, as with Smriti Mandhana's dismissal, Vishmi Gunaratne juggles the ball but holds on with her second attempt.
A 67-run partnership comes to an end - it came off 96 balls.
India appear to be going through the gears a little bit here...
Image source, CricvizEdged, but it goes for four!
Pratika Rawal goes fishing outside off stump and sees Kavisha Dilhari's ball nick off the outside of her bat and run away to the boundary.

Image source, Getty ImagesHarleen Deol is getting settled in now. She has been in magnificent form recently and has really made that number three spot hers.
India have developed so much depth in their batting over the past few years
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.
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.
