Australian skipper nailed Rana in the last ball of the over with a six to help AUS cross the 200 mark. If Rana fired the ball at 100 clicks, Healy whacked that at twice the speed. Expensive over from Rana, of the kind India really cannot afford. 16 from that over. AUS 206/3 (32.1)

India’s Jermiah Rodrigues takes a superb diving catch to mark the fall of a big wicket for Australia. Over the wicket, Mooney tried to open the off side, nailed the drive nicely, but Rodrigues dives to her left and sticks out a hand to pluck the ball from thin air. AUS 170/2 (26.3)

The physio is out. Chatting to Ellyse Perry. Could be a cramp issue. Hurt herself playing that last stroke. And Perry is retiring hurt. Not sure whether she has actually pinged something or it’s cramp.
