It's a tricky wicket with the odd ball staying down but Sri Lanka's batters know what to expect, how will they fare? Find out with Sudarshanan, who's coming in.

For Sri Lanka, Ranasinghe was the most successful, picking up a three-for. She started well with Sugandika. Kulasuriya got three good overs, not given the fourth. But Chamari coming in for an over at the end did seem to work. They were hot and cold in the field, taking sensational catches and being quick in the outfield but also missing a couple of chances and giving away a few runs.

Jemimah Rodrigues: "Firstly, I'm excited to be back. Staying in NCA recovering was not easy, but I was eager to play. I practiced at home for a couple of days too. I prepared on low and slow pitches. I was in really good touch, I was about to reach UK at the end but it changed in the last minute. I'd have liked to have been not out but will take this anyday.

3:03pm: Jemimah Rodrigues was the star of the show in India's first innings. After Kumari and Ranasinghe got Mandhana and Shafali early, it looked like the spinners would dominate, like in the earlier game. But Rodrigues was unfazed, Kaur took her time. Whenever a loose ball was bowled, it was capitalised on. The partnership of 92 meant India was closing in on 150 but a few quick wickets at the end did threaten to keep India under par but some good running and the odd boundary takes them to 150.

Kulasuriya to Sharma, 1 run, Low full toss, swiped to wide long-on. Hemalatha looks to come back for the second but is sent back. The throw is at the keeper's end, bails are whipped off. It's sent upstairs and replays show the batter is in. India make 150.

Kulasuriya to Vastrakar, 1 run, OUT, Driven to deep cover, they push for a very tight two. Throw comes in, keeper takes off the bails as the batter slides the bat in. The throw, as Roshan Abeysinghe notes, was a bit too full. Needed to be flatter. The keeper takes it to the left and has to lead the ball with her gloves to the stumps. It looks like Vastrakar has just made it in, but there are a few replays taken by the TV Umpire. Well, it's given out! Vastrakar stands her ground, there is some confusion but she will have to leave as the decision is indeed out!

Ranasinghe to Ghosh, OUT, Shortish ball, keeps low again. Hits her on the pad after beating the pull and it's given LBW! Replay shows it pitched in line. It was likely to be hitting or clipping off. Being in position early went against Ghosh this time. That ends Ranasinghe's spell on a high, well-deserved three-for.
