    WICKET

    Perry b P Yadav 0 (Aus 76-5)

    Ellyse Perry is out first ball! Poonam Yadav is on a hat-trick!

    That was the googly. Haynes played for regular turn, but that's gone past the outside edge. Bhatia is having a very good night with the gloves.

  3. wicket

    WICKET

    Haynes st Bhatia b P Yadav 6 (Aus 76-4)

    Big wicket! Yadav deceives the left-handed Haynes - was that a googly? - while keeper Bhatia takes it low and pulls off a smart stumping.

  4. Aus 76-3

    Crash, bang, wallop from Ash Gardner as she lofts a four through extra cover.

  5. One for the Healy highlights reel...

    Rachael Haynes will be crucial in these middle overs. She will run very hard.

  7. Aus 71-3

    Haynes 6, Gardner 2

    Seamer Arundhati Reddy, who was expensive first time out, gets another over, maybe a change of ends will do her good. Haynes adds a single, Gardner curbs her natural attacking tendencies (for now), but she's off the mark with a single to deep extra cover.

    Rachael Haynes could be key here - she can probably see through run chases like this in her sleep. Four singles from a better Reddy over.

  8. Aus 67-3

    Target 133

    The big-hitting Ashleigh Gardner is the new batter.

    Australia are 67-3 at halfway. They need 66 from 60 balls. India were 63-3 at this stage. Who's your rupee on?

    Six and out. Backyard cricket. Healy has done a good job for cricket under big pressure. She'll be disappointed, but she has put her team in a good position.

  10. wicket

    WICKET

    Healy c & b P Yadav 51 (Aus 67-3)

    And just like that, she's gone! The very next ball, Healy rather tamely chips a return catch to the delighted Poonam Yadav.

  11. 50 runs

    50 for Alyssa Healy

    Aus 67-2

    Poonam Yadav tosses it right up, and after three singles, she serves up a big full toss which Healy whacks, baseball-style, for six over mid-wicket for six to bring up her fifty from 34 balls.

  12. The TMS team have their wish - it's going to be Poonam Yadav to bowl her idiosyncratic brand of slow, loopy (and very effective) leg-spin.

  13. Here's that first wicket for Squadron Leader Shikha Pandey...

  14. Aus 58-2

    Target 133

    Australia's batting order remains fluid as Rachael Haynes, down on the card at six, is elevated to number four. So vice-captain replaces captain.

    Healy goes aerial, it's flying towards long-off... but Deepti Sharma opts against going for a full-length dive, and collects the ball on the bounce.

    That is a smart piece of wicketkeeping. Gayakwad deceived Lanning and was well supported by Bhatia.

  16. wicket

    WICKET

    Lanning c Bhatia b Gayakwad 5 (Aus 55-2)

    Lanning down the track, gets a thin edge to keeper Taniya Bhatia, who moves towards taking the bails off for a stumping but declines to do so when she realises she's taken the catch and Lanning is out anyway!

  17. Andrew Moore
    BBC Test Match Special

    You can't believe Poonam Yadav hasn't bowled yet.

  18. Aus 52-1

    Target 133

    After an exchange of singles, it's a more delicate shot from Healy as she helps a wideish delivery past short third man for another four.

    The Aussie keeper then cuts loose, whacking a full toss over mid-wicket for four more as it bounces just in front of the rope.

    A quick single ends a rather poor over from Reddy - Healy has 40 from 29 balls. To think of all the newsprint which was spent on discussing how she was out of form coming into this tournament!

  19. Aus 41-1

    Are you Reddy for this? Seamer Arundhati Reddy into the attack, but her first ball is a juicy half-tracker which Healy flogs for four through mid-wicket to move to 30 from 25 balls.

  20. Aus 37-1

    Target 133

    Young Shafali Verma makes another smart stop to deny Lanning.

    But India need wickets, as they can't seem to stop the flow of singles.
