10.07am India have racked up 406, and secured a lead of 187 runs. That's a very healthy lead, whichever way you look at it. Australia took just about 35 minutes to wrap up the last three wickets, but India still added 30 more to that lead. Sutherland picked two wickets with the short ball, while Kim Garth removed Deepti Sharma for 78. Four half-centurions for India in that innings, and two 40s. Australia will have to play out their skins to make a match out of this one. Join us in a bit to find out.

Simon: "Can't see India incorporating a short ball pace attack. How many overs before spin?" I'd say not many.

Sajid Tanoli h: "Can India win by an inng?" Surely that will be the plan

Sutherland to Renuka Singh, OUT, That's that. The short ball does the trick once more for Sutherland. Banged in halfway down, Renuka backs away, trying to take evasive action but just hangs her bat out. The ball catches her splice and spoons straight up for Gardner to take a simple catch at gully.

Garth to Sharma, OUT, Cleans her up and that wicket-to-wicket line works for Garth. Fuller-length ball homing in on off and middle, Deepti looks to work it across the line, probably searching for that single. The ball sneaks between bat and pad and the stumps take a beating.

Sutherland to Renuka Singh, FOUR, Not the most ideal of ways to get a four, but Renuka won't mind. Banged in short aimed at the body. She looks for a pull, gets a top edge that flies away fine. The 400 also comes up for India
