Sree Charani to Natalia Pervaiz, OUT! CAUGHT! The spin choke continues from India and another one bites the dust. Very full by Sree, in and around off. Natalia Pervaiz tries to thrash it over the cover region, but she does not get bat under the ball nicely and ends up toe-ending it towards Harmanpreet Kaur at cover. The Indian captain leaps a bit and takes a fine catch in front of her face. Pakistan Women slip down to 79/6 with the game drifting away from their reach.

Overs11.6

Score79 - 5

Shafali Verma to Natalia Pervaiz, Verma bowls this full as well, keeps it wide of off. Natalia Pervaiz shuffles across and goes for a slog but ends up flicking this through mid-wicket for one.

That's a body blow for Pakistan. Fatima Sana had been in such a fine form coming into the World Cup but she departs without troubling the scorers in this crucial clash. With plenty to do, Aliya Riaz is in at number 7.

Score77 - 5

Shafali Verma to Fatima Sana, OUT! CAUGHT! A massive wicket for India Women. Seam-up straight one, wide of off, Fatima Sana looks to muscle it over the extra cover fielder, but catches this from the outer portion of her bat and slices it towards Smriti Mandhana at covers. Smriti takes a good catch around her shoulder. A three-ball duck for the Pakistan skipper.

Direct hit from Deepti at the batting end and the Indians are looking confident. The on-field umpires send it upstairs for a run out check and the replay shows that Muneeba is marginally short of her crease.

Score75 - 4

Shreyanka Patil to Natalia Pervaiz, OUT! MUNEEBA IS RUN OUT! Floated around off, Natalia Pervaiz guides this to the left of Deepti at short third and runs for a quick single, taking on the arm of Deepti. The Indian spinner picks it up well and hits the stumps with a direct throw towards the keeper's end. Indian players appeal for a run-out. This is sent upstairs and the replay shows that the batter is well short of her crease. Muneeba has to walk back.

Shreyanka Patil looks in some discomfort as she takes a blow and is down on her haunches. The physio is out to check on her. She eventually gets back on her feet after hydrating and is good to bowl.

Score74 - 3

Shreyanka Patil to Natalia Pervaiz, Flighted, around off, Natalia Pervaiz goes down on her knee and sweeps this through mid-wicket for a single. The throw comes in from the deep from Jemimah Rodrigues towards Patil and it catches her around her abdomen. Patil is down and in some pain.

Score73 - 3

Shreyanka Patil to Muneeba Ali, Tossed up, around off, Ali pushes this to the left of the bowler. Patil was looking to field this but Natalia Pervaiz got in her way. A bit of a frustrated look from the bowler.

Halfway through the run chase. Pakistan are 72/3, and after 10 overs, India were 65/2. But they were in the ascendancy through that Harmanpreet-Mandhana alliance. Pakistan are rebuilding at this point and need 99 runs from 60 balls.

Sree Charani to Muneeba Ali, FOUR! Well swept in the gap for two. Tossed up, on the pads, Muneeba Ali sweeps this in the gap between deep mid-wicket and deep square leg for four runs.

Score65 - 3

Sree Charani to Muneeba Ali, Under-cutter, around off, going across the batter, Muneeba Ali chips this from the cue end off her bat towards long off. The ball falls just short of Kranti Gaud and the batters run two as a bad bounce takes the ball past her.

Score63 - 3

Sree Charani to Natalia Pervaiz, Just in! Full and around off, Natalia Pervaiz pushes this to the right of Harmanpreet Kaur at extra cover. The Indian skipper puts in a dive and fields this, throwing it towards Richa Ghosh at the batter's end. Richa gathers this in front of the stumps and takes the bails off. The Indian team starts celebrating, assuming that Muneeba Ali is short of her ground, but it only took a background check from the TV umpire to turn down this run-out appeal.

Overs8.1

Score59 - 3

Deepti Sharma to Natalia Pervaiz, An appeal for LBW, but the umpire turns it down, and Harmanpreet Kaur has opted for DRS. Deepti comes around the stumps, tosses this up on middle and leg and angling away with the arm. Natalia Pervaiz goes down on her knee and attempts the sweep but misses. The ball sneaks under the bat and hits her on the back pad. Loud appeal from the Indian players, but the umpire shakes it off. Kaur sends this upstairs. UltraEdge shows no spike as the ball passes the bat. The Ball Tracking confirms that the ball would have clipped the side of the off-stump. It is umpire's call and the on-field decision of NOT OUT stays.

Overs7.4

Score58 - 3

Sree Charani to Saira Jabeen, OUT! CAUGHT! A soft dismissal. After a promising start, Pakistan are losing their way slightly. Bowled on a length, on middle and leg. Jabeen gets forward and tries to work the ball away on the leg side with a closed bat face. The ball straightens a bit to catch the leading edge. It balloons to cover, where Harmanpreet Kaur takes a dolly. 53/1 has now become 58/3 for Pakistan.

Score58 - 2

Sree Charani to Muneeba Ali, A bit of air given, fuller and on the off stump. Muneeba eases it to long on for one more run.

Muneeba Ali has been doing well in picking up the loose deliveries and she might just need to shift a gear down for the next 3-4 overs to avoid any chances of a beginning of a collapse.
