Lauren Bell to Kranti Gaud, 1 run, a solid defensive shot from Kranti off the final ball. Bizarre finish. Slower ball, she taps it into the off-side and charges across for the single. India finish on 188!

Lauren Bell to Jemimah Rodrigues, 1 run, oh dear, the throw from the fielder has struck Yastika flush on the helmet. Came in at full force and struck her on the region around the temple.

Lauren Bell to Jemimah Rodrigues, wide, Bell has caught the bug now. Down the leg-side, wide called

Lauren Bell to Shafali Verma, out Caught by Alice Capsey!! Cramped for room and gone! Double-strike from Bell in the first over as India lose both openers.
