- BATSMENRB4s6sSR32.1 she's sliced it straight to point. Wicket against the run of play. She had gotten out the same way in the first ODI. This was slightly back of a length outside off, played it away from her body and got an outside edge that Mooney takes low down. End of a fabulous knock. 171/411.1 dragged on, there's the breakthrough! Round the wicket, Verma just looking to angle the ball away, takes the inside edge into the stumps 74/116.3 huge mix up and Mithali Raj is run out by miles at the bowler's end. This was back of a length on the stumps, punched nicely to extra cover. Mandhana was watching the ball and Raj started off for a run, Mandhana responded instinctively perhaps, took a couple of steps and then turned back because the ball had been fielded and was about to be thrown back. By then Raj was too far down the track, and had only enough time to turn around and take a step before seeing herself being run out. 88/219.4 pulls it straight to midwicket. Another short ball, Yastika probably itching to feel bat on ball after getting beaten the whole of the last over, goes for the pull but can't middle it at all. Ball pops up for an easy catch 95/337 cleans her up! A second big wicket for McGrath. Full delivery, angled in at middle and leg, Ghosh looking to give herself some room and effectively misses a straight one whole trying to steer it away 199/542.1 taken at deep midwicket! McGrath's good spell continues. A length ball at the stumps, Sharma tries to clear the leg side but can't get the distance 221/650 and takes leg stump with the last ball as Vastrakar heaves across the line of a full delivery.

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.3 through her! Huge moment, brilliant bowling. Good length, this one nips back between bat and pad into the top of middle. That's one for the scrap book. Perfect set-up 0/15.5 top edge, and superbly caught at deep square leg! It's all happening in Mackay. A shorter delivery, Lanning goes for the pull and doesn't get over it. Gayakwad makes a lot of ground to her right and holds a tumbling catch 11/29.4 direct hit, is Perry short here?! My goodness. Mooney dropped it to the off side and set off, and Perry is well, well short as Vastrakar hits. India knew they had her before the replay. Perry is not impressed as she drags herself off 34/315.5 edged straight to the lone slip. She's stuck to the channel outside off, and Gardner was looking to push that into the offside. Feet static so she ends up pushing well away from the body, the ball takes an edge and is gobbled up by first slip. 52/438.3 huge moment! Poor delivery, but India won't care. Short on the pads, McGrath pulls and couldn't have picked out short fine leg any better 178/5Extras17 (b 3, lb 4, nb 3, w 7)TOTAL275/5 (50 Overs, RR: 5.5)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Alyssa Healy, 0.3 ov), 2-11 (Meg Lanning, 5.5 ov), 3-34 (Ellyse Perry, 9.4 ov), 4-52 (Ashleigh Gardner, 15.5 ov), 5-178 (Tahlia McGrath, 38.3 ov)
