Nicola Carey to Shreyanka Patil, out Bowled!! The stumps are lit. Carey is not sure. Did that come off Kamalini's pads? The square leg umpire has sent it upstairs. The front-on angle shows the ball and Kamalini's gloves to be close to the stumps, but the angle from behind shows it was ball brushing the stumps. Full delivery, Shreyanka stays leg-side and misses a straight ball, it kisses the off-stump before hitting Kamalini's gloves. Second wicket for Carey in the over and she's pulled it back nicely after going for 20 in her first over. Shreyanka Patil b Nicola Carey 1(2)
Nicola Carey to Arundhati Reddy, out Caught by Amelia Kerr!! There's the wicket. Right after the break. The partnership is broken. Another excellent catch close to the rope. Low full toss on off, Arundhati crouches low and manages to get under it, she even middles the heave but picks out Kerr at deep mid-wicket. That ball was travelling but Kerr was calm and took a step back after completing the catch, but didn't go close to the rope. End of a fine knock.. Arundhati Reddy c Amelia Kerr b Nicola Carey 20(25) [4s-2]
Amelia Kerr to Richa Ghosh, out Caught by Nicola Carey!! Another one bites the dust. Brilliant catch by Carey. Richa is gone and RCB have loft half their side. Brave bowling by Kerr. She floats it up and invites the big shot from Richa, the loft seemed to be clearing long-off but not with Carey patrolling, she jumps a bit and takes it with both hands over her head, maintains her balance and stays inside the rope. She made that look easy.. Richa Ghosh c Nicola Carey b Amelia Kerr 6(6) [4s-1]
Amelia Kerr to Radha Yadav, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Kerr might have failed with the bat but she strikes with her first ball. Radha can't believe it. A well-disguised googly and Radha had no clue, she prods forward and plays down the wrong line, the ball beats her inside edge and hits the top of middle-stump. RCB in trouble here.. They have gone from 40/0 to 63/4. Radha Yadav b Amelia Kerr 1(2)
Amanjot Kaur to Hemalatha, out Lbw!! RCB continue to lose wickets. Hemalatha does not even discuss the review with Richa, she keeps walking. Nothing but a straight ball, right at the stumps and Hemalatha plants her front foot across, plays all around it and misses. Struck right in-line with the stumps and the umpire Bhavesh Patel's finger went up in a flash. Hemalatha lbw b Amanjot Kaur 7(12) [4s-1]
Nat Sciver-Brunt to Grace Harris, out Caught by Ismail!! MI fighting back. Both openers back in the hut. First 3 overs - 40/0, next 2 overs - 7/2. The smile on Harmanpreet's face suggests MI are right back in the contest. Soft dismissal! Fuller and close to off, Harris does not go through with the loft, chips it to long-on and Ismail hangs on even though she slips. Grace Harris c Ismail b Nat Sciver-Brunt 25(12) [4s-4 6s-1]
Ismail to Smriti, out Caught by Poonam Khemnar!! Four dots and Smriti throws it away. Excellent from Ismail. Built the pressure by mixing her length and makes Smriti play the big shot. The RCB captain takes a couple of steps down the pitch and looks to hack the short of length delivery across the line, gets a thick top-edge and the ball skies towards mid-on, Khemnar clings on and throws the ball away in anger. Much needed breakthrough for MI. Smriti c Poonam Khemnar b Ismail 18(13) [4s-4]
