Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialIt really didn't feel out. It was a half-appeal from Megan Schutt.

BBC Test Match SpecialWell, well, well. She's going to review that. I thought it was going down leg side and maybe too high.

India's fielding wasn't great, but Shafali Verma did redeem herself with this catch.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialI want to forgive India for their fielding performance because they've been ill but it's an international game, isn't it?

Ten off the first over as Verma sweeps the last of the set to the fence for India's first boundary.
Just the start India need, game on!

There are plenty of runs to be scored on this pitch. Beth Mooney proved that in the first innings.

Interestingly we start with spin. Ash Gardner's first ball is flicked away for two by Shafali Verma.

Here we go then, the players are back out on to the pitch.

If you missed the first innings, I think this video sums it up quite nicely.

BBC Sport in Cape TownWhat a strange innings.
It felt like Australia were dominant throughout so somehow, 172 feels underwhelming.
But still, to stroll to a score like that without really breaking a sweat is some effort and shows just how good Australia are.
The six off the final ball means they'll take the momentum with them too, so India are really up against it. They looked nervous throughout and the fielding was average, at best.

Thanks Aymen, I think Australia have this one in the bag too. Unless...

It's not been the best start from India. Dropped catches, fumbles in the field and too many bad balls. Australia took full advantage and really accelerated in the last 10 overs to put a good total on the scoreboard.
India will have to capitalise in the powerplay if they want to chase down the total.
That's all from me. I'll hand over to Josef Rindl to take you through the next innings.
'We'll walk out with belief'published at 14:32 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2023
Australia's Beth Mooney who struck 54 off 37: "I think we would have taken 172 at the start of the day. We're pretty happy with that but we'll have to bowl well.
"It's nice to hit a few at the end when we need it. They weren't easy conditions early on so for us to come out of the powerplay unscathed was a good effort.
"You've got to pick your shots and come through with it. I think we'll walk out there with belief. Our bowling unit has some world class bowlers in it so hopefully they'll get the job done."

India need 173 to winpublished at 20 overs
The final ball is a full toss from Renuka Singh Thakur and Meg Lanning hits it over the leg side to end things with a six.
India walk off looking worried.
Aus 166-4published at 19.4 overs
A dot ball to follow from Renuka Singh Thakur and a leg bye. Much better from the India seamer.
