  1. Ind 115-4

    Well no hang on, not a great ball as she over stepped.

    The free hit goes for just one though, caught in the deep.

  2. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    Harmanpreet Kaur has lost a bit of momentum.

  3. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    That was so close!

  4. Harmanpreet dropped on 37

    Ind 112-4

    For the first time this World Cup Tahlia McGrath gets the ball and will have a bowl. She very nearly has Harmanpeet Kaur second ball, beating her edge, and the off stump, by a whisker.

    Actually, she edged it! The replays show a very thin edge from Harmanpreet.

  5. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    I can't believe where this game is and where it's going.

  6. Ind 111-4

    Another over ticks by. India need 62 off 42 to reach the final of the Women's T20 World Cup. How costly will that drop be?

  7. dropped catch

    Harmanpreet dropped on 36

    Ind 110-4

    Edged and dropped by keeper Alyssa Healy. Harmanpreet Kaur doesn't pick a routine delivery from Darcie Brown, tickling it behind, but Healy spills it. A lifeline for India.

  8. Ind 108-4

    Richa Ghosh can bat, she made 47 against England and 44 against the West Indies. Darcie Brown continues bowling her third over.

  9. Ind 107-4

    Kaur 35, Richa 6

    The worm shows India are 18 runs ahead of Australia. India are 107 for 4 after 12 overs. At the same stage Australia were 89 for 2.BBC Sport

    Indeedy. India score nine off Schutt's latest over by tapping the ball around the field. Another partnership builds.

  10. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    Twos are vey helpful at this stage as India will be looking to rebuild.

  11. Norcross is talking about the Ali-Foreman rope-a-dope fight.

    It's a good simile. Don't rule India out just yet, especially with Kaur still at the crease.

  12. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    Australia are still the best in the world and they will not be panicking.

  13. Ind 100-4

    The hundred comes up for India as new bowler Megan Schutt returns with a wide. Feel like I've reported on Aussie extras a lot today.

  14. Ind 98-4

    Target 173

    New batter Richa Ghosh gets off the mark with a pull shot for one. She's got to go fast and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur needs to be there at the end for India.

  15. Ind 97-4

    Target 173

    That wicket breaks a 69-run partnership from fewer than seven overs. There's a very different feel to the game now.

    Jemimah Rodrigues is furious with herself! She's gifted a wicket to Australia.

    WICKET

    Jemimah c Healy b Brown 43 (Ind 97-4)

    No! Leave it!

    It's a high and wide bouncer from Darcie Brown that Jemimah Rodrigues mistakenly chases, feathering it through the keeper.

    Poor shot and Australia are back in front you feel.

  18. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    A delicious shot from Jemimah Rodrigues! The timing and placing is impeccable.

  19. Ind 97-3

    And we return with Darcie Brown bowling.

    But that's too wide and full and she's driven by Jemimah Rodriges for four more.

  20. The DLS par is 87. India are actually ahead.
