Fatima Sana to Harmanpreet Kaur, OUT! TAKEN IN THE DEEP! Fatima dismisses her opposite number and Pakistan are all charged up as Kaur falls. She bowls it full and angles it onto the pads. Harmanpreet Kaur walks inside the line to flick it over deep square leg, but gets her timing all wrong. Airs it straight to Natalia Pervaiz, stationed at the mentioned position, who takes a fine catch to her right. India Women are 123/5, 22 balls left.

Nashra Sundhu to Harmanpreet Kaur, Fine effort! Flat and full, around the off stump. Kaur gets her hands through the ball and sweeps it wide of deep mid-wicket. The fielder in the deep covers good ground to her right and dives to save a couple of runs for her side.

Overs15.4

Score120 - 4

Nashra Sundhu to Harmanpreet Kaur, Needless throw but it does not cost Pakistan any extra run. Loopy ball, full and outside off, Harmanpreet Kaur gets down on a knee and sweeps it wide of deep square leg. The throw from the deep lacks power and Muneeba Ali had to get a long way forward to collect the ball. Both batters had made their ground, but Muneeba has a shy at the bowling end. It is well wide and goes towards wide long, but Kaur is not alert enough to sneak in an overthrow.

Last 5 overs left. 150-plus is still getable for the Indians with captain Kaur well-settled at the crease. And Pakistan just need her wicket to strike off a few runs from the total. Let's see how the climax pans out. Nashra Sundhu (2-0-17-0) is back on, replacing Rameen Shamim.

Sadia Iqbal to Richa Ghosh, FOUR! Cut away! Shorter and quicker, on off and middle. Ghosh makes room and gets on top of the bounce. She keeps the cut along the ground and gets it wide of cover-point for a boundary.

Overs14.2

Score110 - 4

Sadia Iqbal to Bharti Fulmali, OUT! STUMPED! One brings two for Pakistan. Sadia is not afraid to toss the ball and bowls it on a length, at the sticks. A premeditated charge from Fulmali, and she leaves nothing in the tank as he swings through the line. Bharti is unable to get to the pitch of the ball and she misses it completely. The keeper, Muneeba Ali, gathers the ball above the stumps and whips the bails off with Fulmali standing no chance of getting back in.

Overs13.5

Score109 - 3

Rameen Shamim to Smriti Mandhana, OUT! CAUGHT! 'Catch it' is the cry, and Fatima Sana answers the call. Rameen Shamim breaks through for Pakistan. Shamim serves a flighted delivery, around the off stump, full in length. Mandhana shimmies down the strip again but looks to go down the ground this time. Ends up getting this one off the lower half of the bat towards long on. Fatima charges across to her right and slides to gobble it up. Pakistan's skipper makes a tough catch look easy. End of a 91-run stand. India Women are now 109/3.

Overs13.4

Score109 - 2

Rameen Shamim to Smriti Mandhana, FOUR! Up and over! Rameen gives the ball a lot of air, full and outside off. Mandhana is quick to dance down the track and opens up the front hip to go over cover for a four.

A mandatory concussion check is underway for Mandhana. The physio is out along with a few reserve players. Smriti looks completely alright. But the umpires have taken this opportunity to call on for Drinks. The Indian stalwarts have added 87 runs together in what is shaping up to be an ominous partnership for Pakistan. They have shelled a couple of easy chances coming their way and in such a big game, that could prove more than costly. They need wickets quickly as there's still a decent bit of batting left to come for India. Any score over 160 is going to be a tough one to chase and with the current rate, and eight wickets in hand, that figure looks quite achievable.

Score105 - 2

Rameen Shamim to Smriti Mandhana, Oh, that has thudded into the helmet. From around the wicket, offers flight, on a length, outside off. Mandhana shuffles across and goes hard on the sweep. It goes off the top edge and catches Smriti on the grill of the helmet. It drops on the strip.

Overs13.1

Score104 - 2

Rameen Shamim to Harmanpreet Kaur, Nearly dragged it back onto the stumps! Loopy ball, full and a bit of turn, around the off stump. Kaur hangs low and tries to power it through the off side. Ekes out an inside edge onto the back pad and the ball dribbles past the right boot of the keeper.

Overs12.6

Score104 - 2

Sadia Iqbal to Smriti Mandhana, Good effort! Flighted delivery, on off. Smriti makes room and goes inside out. She plays it towards wide long off, where Fatima Sana is quick across the turf to her right and slides to cut it off. Two runs taken. The most expensive over of the innings. 19 runs off it.

Overs12.4

Score101 - 2

Sadia Iqbal to Harmanpreet Kaur, FOUR! Gets it through! Not a great option from Iqbal with the field up on the off side. This is full and outside off. Kaur hangs back, gets her hands through the line of the ball and drills it past cover-point for four more. The 100 is up for India.

Overs12.1

Score92 - 2

Sadia Iqbal to Smriti Mandhana, DROPPED, SIX! Saira Jabeen shells it and to make matters worse, it has gone for a six. Floated up from over the wicket, full and on middle. Smriti Mandhana dances down the track and clubs it towards deep mid-wicket. She does not get the desired distance and Jabeen is in business in the deep. She tries to take the reverse cup catch over her left shoulder, but it bursts through and drops beyond the fence.

Smriti Mandhana has pulled up here. She appears to be experiencing some discomfort after stretching herself while trying to get back into her crease. After a few stretches to her left leg from the physio, Mandhana is ready to resume.

Overs11.4

Score84 - 2

Rameen Shamim to Smriti Mandhana, A lot more air this time from Rameen, tossed up, top-spinner, around off, extracting an extra bit of bounce here. Smriti swings at it but misses. Muneeba Ali fails to gather this cleanly and maybe a chance of stumping goes begging as Smriti did appear to have stretched a bit. Smriti is in some trouble holding her groin. The team physio rushes out in the middle.

Overs11.3

Score84 - 2

Rameen Shamim to Smriti Mandhana, FOUR! Boundaries galore from the bat of Smriti. Quicker one, around the pads, Smriti Mandhana jumps out of the crease, swings through the line, and this time, she lofts this over mid on for a boundary. Mandhana is toying with the field.

Overs11.2

Score80 - 2

Rameen Shamim to Smriti Mandhana, FOUR! FIFTY FOR MANDHANA! From 34 balls. A well-compiled half-century from India's star batter and she has paced her innings smartly. Tossed up, around off, yet again, Smriti steps out and away and plays it inside out over covers for four runs this time. Excellent knock under pressure from Smriti. She started off slowly as a couple of wickets fell around her, got her eyes settled in on a sluggish pitch and is looking very fluent now.
