Annabel Sutherland to Kranti Gaud, out Caught by Beth Mooney!! Has that carried to the keeper? Is that a clean catch? The onfield umpires have a discussion and take it upstairs. Was a short ball by Sutherland and Kranti Gaud went for a pull shot. She gets a top edge and Mooney takes a good low catch behind the wickets. She has her gloves underneath it cleanly and with that India have lost both set batters in quick succession. Kranti Gaud c Beth Mooney b Annabel Sutherland 19(15) [4s-3]

Alana King to Kashvee Gautam, no run, review taken for an lbw by Australia! Guess the impact wasn't in line. Let's wait for the replays though. My guess might be wrong. The impact is line, but it's missing off. Was a tossed up leg-break by Alana King and Kashvee Gautam got beaten on her sweep. No bat or glove involved, but it's missing the off-stump as the ball was spinning away

Alana King to Richa Ghosh, out Lbw!! Review taken for an lbw by Australia! King looks confident and she has convinced the skipper to challenge the onfield decision. No bat, no glove. It's pitching in line, the impact's in line and it's crashing into the stumps. That's a successful review from Australia. Was a leg-break and Ghosh tried to play the sweep. She got beaten and rapped on the pads. Three reds, confirms Hawkeye and India have lost another wicket. That's the second wicket for Alana King. Richa Ghosh lbw b Alana King 22(19) [4s-2 6s-1]

Comes down the track and heaves to the on-side. Doesn't time it as well as she would like. The big boundaries ensure the ball is safely caught well inside the deep mid-wicket fence.

Ashleigh Gardner to Smriti Mandhana, out Bowled!! Smriti looks to get cheeky and throws her wicket away. She never looked settled today. Walks a long way across trying to scoop the full delivery finer, doesn't get low and misses the ball completely to see her stumps shattered.

The leading edge skies over McGrath, who is back tracking and realises that the ball is getting further away. Loses her balance and eventually fails to even get hands to the ball.
