  1. India review

    Harmanpreet Kaur is going upstairs again.

    Has Richa Ghosh just taken an excellent caught behind? The umpire doesn't think there was any bat on that...

  2. SL 127-4

    Target 271

    Many would have written Sri Lanka off following Chamari Athapaththu's dismissal and things only went from bad to worse when Harshitha Samarawickrama departed.

    But this fifth-wicket pair certainly aren't giving up.

    Nilakshi de Silva dispatches Amanjot Kaur for two fours and has certainly set out her stall - she's going after anything short.

  3. Not out - SL 123-4

    The decision stands. It's shaping away too much and just misses leg stump.

  4. India review

    Target 271

    Nilakshi de Silva comes down to Amanjot Kaur and India appeal for an lbw.

    The umpire says no but Harmanpreet Kaur sends it upstairs.

    I really like the intent from these two in the middle. They have got to keep making India work hard for their wickets and tire out some of the bowlers.

  6. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    For Sri Lanka, you do wonder what might have been. They had India rocking at 124-6 but India built back.

    It does feel like a missed opportunity.

  7. SL 118-4

    Target 271

    Well, Kavisha Dilhari is showing some intent.

    She hits a couple of boundaries off Shree Charani - the second of which nearly *nearly* brings a superb diving catch from wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh - to get the scoreboard moving.

    13 runs off the 25th over.

    Sri Lanka have stalled since Chamari Athapaththu's departure. India's bowlers have sensed urgency. They are keen to get this done.

  9. Thanks Mike.

    Sri Lanka, four wickets down, need 166 runs from 23 overs. Momentum is against them at the moment.

    WICKET

    Gunaratne lbw b Amanjot 11 (SL 105-4)

    All reds, that's gone.

    The bat was somewhat close to the ball as it passed through on the way to the pads, but no edge there.

    Vishmi Gunaratne walks off having scored 11 off 28 since replacing Chamari Athapaththu at the crease - Sri Lanka haven't scored a boundary in that time.

    And with that wicket, it's time for me to pass over to Elizabeth Botcherby for the rest of the innings.

  11. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    That was full and looked straight. The India fielders look very convinced.

  12. Sri Lanka review

    The umpire's finger goes up again!

    Vishmi Gunaratne is struck on the pad by the returning Amanjot Kaur.

    Sri Lanka will review this, but it looks out.

  13. SL 103-3

    Target 271

    Kavisha Dilhari is the new batter for Sri Lanka.

    She faces three dot balls to close Shree Charani's over.

    Sri Lanka's required run-rate is now exactly seven runs an over.

  14. Ffion Wynne
    BBC Sport cricket writer on BBC Radio Sports Extra

    There are some frustrated looking faces in the Sri Lanka dugout. They will feel like they lost an opportunity with so many dropped catches.

    We could so easily be looking at a completely different score here.

  15. wicket

    WICKET

    Samarawickrama lbw b Shree Charani 29 (SL 103-3)

    Gone.

    Impact is umpire's call, but all that means is Sri Lanka retain their review.

    Harshitha Samarawickrama has to head to the dressing room.

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

    Harshitha Samarawickrama has gone on the sweep there and did not get hold of it. She looks like she will refer it.

  17. Sri Lanka review

    Harshitha Samarawickrama is struck on the back leg sweeping Shree Charani!

    Up goes the umpire's finger - the Sri Lankan batter is going to review this.

  18. SL 102-2

    Vishmi Gunaratne sends Sneh Rana's second ball out to point to bring up Sri Lanka's hundred.

    Two more singles follow - Sri Lanka haven't scored a boundary since the second ball of the 14th over.

  19. SL 99-2

    Four singles off Shree Charani's second over.

    The spinner only made her international debut in April, and impressed on the tour of England in the summer.

    She's just 21 years old, and joins 22-year-old Kranti Goud as youthful presences in this India attack.

  20. SL 95-2

    Bit tight.

    Vishmi Gunaratne hits square off Sneh Rana and hurries through a single.

    She has to dive to make the crease at the non-striker's end, just about beating the ball.
