  1. Kanchana survives

    Comfortably home.

  2. Umpire review

    Three balls later and we have what looks like a routine check.

    Ama Kanchana seems to have slid her bat in at the striker's end after a direct hit breaks the stumps.

  3. Prabodhani survives

    On first viewing that looked like it was hitting leg stump but turns out to be a good review from Udeshika Prabodhani, as the ball-tracking technology shows it was sliding down.

    Deepti Sharma cannot quite believe it.

  4. Sri Lanka review

    Deepti Sharma hits a sweeping Udeshika Prabodhani on the pad, just above her heel.

    It's given out on field.

  5. SL 82-8

    The subplot here is India need to boost their net run-rate as much as possible so need to wrap up this Sri Lanka innings as soon as possible.

    Every run chips away at that figure.

    Ama Kanchana bookends an over from Renuka Singh with a couple of boundaries, the first pulled through mid-wicket and the second clunked down the ground.

    The India seamer finishes with 2-16 off her four overs.

  6. SL 72-8

    Four overs to go in Dubai.

    Arundhati Reddy has bowled impressively for India this evening, by the way.

    She has one over left.

  7. Prabodhani survives

    A vociferous appeal from off-spinner Shreyanka Patil but the technology shows no bat involved.

    There was a noise of sorts as Udeshika Prabodhani looked to work the ball to leg, but no bat clearly.

  8. India review

    Shreyanka Patil thinks Udeshika Prabodhani has nicked off here. She's utterly convinced of it.

  9. SL 69-8

    Impressive stuff from leg-spinner Asha Sobhana this evening as she finishes her four overs with 3-19.

    Radha Yadav has been in the action a lot and she started the momentum first with the brilliant catch - that catch ignited India.

    Asha Sobhana bags another.

    This time Inoshi Priyadharshani recklessly slog sweeps to deep mid-wicket where substitute fielder Radha Yadav takes a simple catch.

    Sri Lanka captain Chamari Athapaththu puts her hands over her eyes and slumps in her chair.

  12. SL 64-7

    A miserly over from Arundhati Reddy with just three runs off it milked by Inoshi Priyadharshani and Ama Kanchana.

    Sri Lanka staring down the barrel of a big defeat in Dubai.

    It has clearly hit the bat as it ballooned in the air!

    Richa Ghosh has taken it cleanly for it to be the seventh wicket.

    I found that very baffling.

  14. wicket

    WICKET

    Sugandika c Ghosh b Sobhana 1 (SL 61-7)

    Start the car.

    There's a fair chunk of bat on it so not sure why Sugandika Kumari thinks she's not hit it on the sweep.

    The third umpire double checks that Richa Ghosh has taken the catch cleanly. It's a fine piece of glovework, diving forward.

  15. Sri Lanka review

    Has Asha Sobhana got number seven here?

    Final ball of the over and Sugandika Kumari goes for a sweep.

    It looks like she's top edged it on to her pad and Richa Ghosh has dived forward to take the catch behind the stumps.

    Given out on field but Sugandika reviews.

  16. SL 61-6

    Here's that stumping from a little earlier.

    India's wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh dismisses Sri Lanka's Anushka Sanjeewani by the tightest of margins.

    Probably a hard one to take considering Sanjeewani is a wicketkeeper herself.

  17. Firdose Moonda
    Cricinfo writer on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    A lovely catch and that's how you take them under the lights. Renuka Singh timed her dive nicely.

  18. wicket

    WICKET

    Dilhari c Singh b Reddy 21 (SL 58-6)

    Another superb catch!

    Kavisha Dilhari attempts to sweep Arundhati Reddy but ends up top-edging it behind square.

    Renuka Singh makes up some decent ground, stretches out her hands, and hangs on to a brilliant diving catch with her fingertips.

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

    Shafali Verma with the easiest of the catches and Nilakshika Silva goes!

  20. wicket

    WICKET

    Nilakshika c Verma b Reddy 8 (SL 57-4)

    Scoreboard pressure starts to tell on Nilakshika Silva.

    She looks to whack Arundhati Reddy, into the leg side, but a leading edge sends the ball skywards.

    India's catching has been spot on this evening and Shafali Verma scuttles roun from point and pouches it with ease.
