  1. Aus 174-9published at 33 overs

    Target 282 from 42 overs

    Kristen Beams is Australia's number 11 - she scored 26 not out in that Canterbury Test in 2015, but has never reached double figures in an ODI. If anyone's still counting, the Aussies need 108 from 54 balls. Two per ball.

    India have been outstanding in the field. I can't think of anyone in world cricket who deserves a World Cup final more than Jhulan Goswami.

    Schutt c Goswami b Sharma 2 (Aus 169-9)

    Clang! Another Aussie wicket falls as Megan Schutt hoists one down the throat of the veteran Goswami patrolling the cow corner boundary. India need one wicket to win.

  4. Aus 168-8published at 32 overs

    Target 282 from 42 overs

    Left-arm spinner Gayakwad is pulled for four through mid-wicket by Blackwell, but there's a palpable sense that this horse has bolted long, long ago.

    I can't believe what I'm seeing. I've never the Australians in this position before. The innings of Kaur rattled them and they have never recovered.

    Here's some more of those tumbling Aussie wickets for you to enjoy/lament - Alyssa Healy and Ashleigh Gardner.

  7. Aus 160-8published at 31 overs

    Target 282 from 42 overs

    Megan Schutt walks out at number 10 with a Herculean task facing her and Alex Blackwell, with the required rate closing on 11. Blackwell manages to power a four back past the bowler and club a single to long-on, while Schutt nudges a single to fine leg.

    Australia need 122 to win from 66 balls.

    Fair to say, either India are going to Lord's, or you're about to witness the most exciting 11 overs in the history of women's cricket.

    You know luck is against you when that happens. It doesn't happen many times in your career, but it's even more disappointing in a World Cup semi.

  9. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 30.2 overs

    Jonassen run out 1 (Aus 154-8)

    When it's not going your way... Blackwell smashes the ball straight back at the bowler, Goswami gets a hand to it (therefore a dropped catch?) and it deflects straight onto the stumps with Jonassen out of her ground. What a way to go.

  10. Aus 154-7published at 30 overs

    Target 282 from 42 overs

    Jess Jonassen scored 99 in the Women's Ashes Test at Canterbury a couple of years ago, but she'll need to produce an even better knock today if Australia's hopes aren't going to disappear into the Derby sunshine.

    It's the rub of the green. When a delivery like that gets you a wicket, you know things are definitely going your way. Out of everywhere she could have put that ball, it ended up in the hands of cover.

  12. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 29.4 overs

    Gardner c Raj b Yadav 1 (Aus 152-7)

    This game is racing to an early finish - Yadav serves up a terrible long-hop and Gardner, who has all the time in the world, slaps it straight to skipper Raj at cover. It would probably have been a wide if she'd left it.

  13. Aus 150-6published at 29 overs

    Target 282 from 42 overs

    Young Ashleigh Gardner has only had to bat three times in this tournament, and her highest ODI score is 22 (two more than her age, 20). She's off the mark - it will take something very special for Australia to win from this position.

    That's another big wicket. We've seen time and time again that Healy can score quickly. Goswami has done it again. A crucial wicket at a crucial time.

    Healy c Pandey b Goswami 5 (Aus 148-6)

    Well, it won't be Alyssa Healy seeing Australia home - as in almost a carbon copy of the Villani dismissal, she chips a catch to mid-on and the Aussies are six down. Another excellent bowling change as Jhulan Goswami returns to take her second wicket.

    In three games in this tournament, Blackwell hasn't had to bat or bowl. Healy has only batted four times, and one of those was a 0 not out.

    And this is how it all ended for Ellyse Perry, the fifth Australian wicekt to fall.

  18. Aus 147-5published at 28 overs

    A big task for Blackwell and Healy - trying to force the pace, Healy is off the mark as she chops a single into the covers. Blackwell has taken a single off nearly every ball she's faced - but again, singles won't be enough, and suddenly there's a spring in the Indian fielders' step. Healy finally gets a delivery she likes the look of - and uses her feet well to blast a four over mid-off.

    Robert Barlow: India have this. England with chance to redress opening defeat.

  20. Aus 140-5published at 27 overs

    Target 282 from 42 overs

    Alyssa Healy is Australia's number seven - we saw her husband, pace bowler Mitchell Starc, watching the game earlier. (Given that the Aussie male players are now out of contract because of their pay dispute, no surprise that he's in England to watch the missus play). Healy can't get her innings up and running - facing five dot balls means Pandey enjoys the luxury of a wicket maiden.
