cowboy: "Incredible stat. August 2015 and Perry's test batting average was about 31. With scores in her last three tests of 213*, 116, 76* and now 68*, her average is now an astounding 86.50" --- that's right cowboy. And our stats whiz Sampath adds that currently, Perry's average is the highest ever in women's Tests for any player with a minimum of 10 innings.

Phani: "Oh My Meg Lanning!! You belong to the 90s and early 2000s team of invincible Aussies.Woww, what intent!"

4.33pm: Oh that's interesting. Meg Lanning has declared!. So that will also be the dinner break. That sets this game up for the final two sessions beautifully. India's bowlers were devastatingly efficient in this session and although Australia averted the follow-on, they have declared 136 runs behind. Ellyse Perry was immovable object - except for the dropped chances when she looked very movable - but it's still another great innings by her. There's 71 overs left in the game. India will come out to bat post dinner effectively 136/0, but they'll have to strike the fine balance between scoring quickly enough, giving themselves enough of a run cushion, and still leave enough to potentially bowl Australia out if the Australians go for the win. Exciting times ahead, and Gnasher will be with you in about 40 minutes to take you through it.

Vastrakar to Campbell, no run, length ball nipping in, hits her on the pad as she's looking to turn it square. Appeal but that's heading down

Vastrakar to Perry, 1 run, pushes this softly towards mid-off and calls Campbell through for a single. Three balls still left for the No.11 to negotiate in this over.

Vastrakar to Perry, no run, play and a miss. Full and outside off, she might ordinarily leave it alone but it's the last wicket so she's maybe looking fo runs, goes for the big drive and can't connect

Vastrakar to Perry, no run, back of a length on sixth stump, left alone

AlistairDiamond: "India can still win. Take the last two wickets now, score a brisk 60-odd to take the lead to near 200, then put Australia back in under lights with the best part of 40 overs remaining. This game isn't a draw yet! But they've got to take those 2 wickets first..." --- they've taken one right after you sent this, Alistair :)

Sharma to Brown, OUT, plumb in front. Arm ball on the stumps, she was looking for a big swipe across the line by going deep and opening her stance, it skids on and raps her right in front of the stumps.
