46th over: India 316-5 ( Jemimah 118, Amanjot 1) India need 23 from 18 balls Jemimah tightens the knot with four from Molineux\u2019s first ball, through point with power. Every hair on every body in Mumbai, chewing nails, sucking lips, stands alert. But Molineux keeps her nerve \u2013 just six from the over.<\/p>\n

Richa c Garth b Sutherland 26 (India 310-5)<\/p>\n Tries to go up and over but finds only Garth at short third who holds on for dear life.<\/p>\n 46th over: India 310-5 ( Jemimah 113, Amanjot 0 ) India need 29 from 24 balls Sutherland gives them nothing. Single, single, single, single, single, WICKET! We twist another bend.<\/p>\n Australia’s Annabel Sutherland (left) celebrates with teammates after taking the wicket of India’s Richa Ghosh. Photograph: Rajanish Kakade\/APShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.07 EDT<\/p>\n 45th over: India 305-4 ( Jemimah 108, Richa13 ) India need 34 from 30 balls Richa on one knee, flamed amazement into the crowd for six, who are in ecstacies. Now another, just where she wants it from Gardner \u2013 this time four to deep midwicket. This is now advantage India.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.04 EDT<\/p>\n 44th over: India 291-4 ( Jemimah 108, Richa 13 ) India need 48 from 36 balls Unbelievable, Richa shanks at a slower ball, it flies up and seemingly straight at McGrath at long-off, but she\u2019s misjudged and the ball flies through her hands. Now four. Richa, backing away, top edging. The equation comes down further.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.02 EDT<\/p>\n 43rd over: India 284-4 ( Jemimah 106, Richa 8 ) India need 55 from 42 balls Pressure \u2013 huh \u2013 Rodrigues reverse-weeps four from Gardner who plays dare with the umpire but is eventually called wide.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a012.58 EDT<\/p>\n A hundred for Jemimah<\/p>\n 42nd over: India 276-4 ( Jemimah 100, Richa 7 ) India need 63 from 48 balls I still have no idea know where this is going. Jemimah reaches a glorious century but barely acknowledges it \u2013 clear your mind girl. Schutt\u2019s last ball is crunched by Richa high into the night and over the rope.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>WICKET! Deepti run-out (Garth) 24 (India 264-4)<\/p>\n Oh. Oh dear. Jemimah tonks the ball straight to short fine leg and sets off at speed, but a ponderous Deepti has no chance. Out by a tail\u2019s length.<\/p>\n 41st over: India 264-4 ( Jemimah 95, Ghosh 0) India need 74 from 54 balls The roar for the top-edged sweep by Deepti that reaches the boundary is huge, but the silence after her dismissal hangs like a damp coat in the Mumbai night.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 40th over: India 257-3 ( Jemimah 95, Deepti 18) India need 82 from 60 balls Schutt replaces Sutherland. They twinkle a couple of singles \u2013 Deepti over runs so can\u2019t come back for a second from an overthrow in a tableau of limbs and voices. A wide. Then a full toss that slips dew-soaked out of Schutt\u2019s hand. But Deepti can only find a single off the free-hit. More awesome fielding from Australia.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 39th over: India 249-3 ( Jemimah 92, Deepti 16) India need 90 from 66 balls Deepti again, eyes like stone , steps and thunders King straight for a lofted four. She thinks she\u2019s got another, but more elite fielding in the circle thwarts her. King gets away with a full toss.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 38th over: India 240-3 ( Jemimah 90, Deepti 9) India need 98 from 72 balls Deepti gets the boundary first ball, up and over, clean hit over midwicket for four. The target drops below 100.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 37th over: India 234-3 ( Jemimah 89, Deepti 4) India need 105 from 78 balls King, balletic approach. Beats Rodrigues with pearlers first and last ball of her over.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a012.23 EDT<\/p>\n 36th over: India 229-3 ( Jemimah 87, Deepti 2) India need 109 from 84 balls An astonishing innings by Harmanpreet of power and passion \u2013 but will it be enough? Deepti doesn\u2019t have long before she must start motoring.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>WICKET! Harmanpreet c Gardner b Sutherland 89 (India 226-3)<\/p>\n Top-notch diving catch by Gardner, holding on with one hand as she hit the ground. The stadium gasps. Harmanpreet is applauded into the dugout by her teammates, but marches straight into the tunnel.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a012.58 EDT<\/p>\n 35th over: India 226-2 ( Jemimah 89, Kaur 85) Huge appeal for lbw by King against Rodrigues \u2013 Healy is especially desperate \u2013 and reviews. Rodrigues stretches into a sweep, misses, is hit on the back pad\u2026 but the ball would have bounced over the stumps. I think the stadium is pleased. Even more pleased now as Harmanpreet, boots like fire , pounds King up, up, and just short of the rope for four. Two Australian fielders converge but can do nothing.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a012.57 EDT<\/p>\n 34th over: India 218-2 ( Jemimah 84, Kaur 83) Four through midwicket, hit with force of will as much as speed of arms, as Harmanpreet almost catches up Jemimah. Six from Sutherland\u2019s over.<\/p>\n I think Rob referenced this match earlier\u2026<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Healy drops Jemimah<\/p>\n 32nd over: India 212-2 ( Jemimah 83, Kaur 78) Harmanpreet pistachioes Alana King, striding down the pitch in her big boots, and dispatching her for six. And oh my \u2013 Jemimah hacks high into the air, King and Healy both go for the catch, and Healy lets it slip, somehow, like salt, through her gloves. But no time to post-mortem, the next ball is bottom edged by Harmanpreet for four. King, somehow, summons a smile.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 32nd over: India 201-2 ( Jemimah 82, Kaur 68) The two hundred comes up as Sutherland\u2019s first two balls are tapped for singles. But just three off the over, some tight fielding in the ring.<\/p>\n \u201cGame on?\u201d asks Jeremy Boyce. Game on Jeremy. \u201cFinished cleaning my cooker and am back on your OBO. India are well in this. 2 wkts down, half an innings to play, run rate not too challenging if either of these two or the others can hit out now. Baz and Ben would say this is well on. Australia would fancy their chances if they were batting. But they\u2019re not…. Intriguing. Go India !\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 31st over: India 198-2 ( Jemimah 81, Kaur 66) Mumbai starting to sniff something now \u2013 Harmanpreet darts down the pitch to Gardner, swings legside, with flamingo bend, for six. They take drinks, with India needing 141 from 19 overs.<\/p>\n \u201cIndia are returning the favour a la South Africa and completing a new record run chase by 2 runs,\u201d writes Jazba. \u201cAustralia were good for 400 and crumbled.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a012.58 EDT<\/p>\n 30th over: India 189-2 ( Jemimah 80, Kaur 58) Take that, Harmanpreet snorts, rocking back on her heels and launching McGrath over extra cover for six. Four singles, India running like wolves now.<\/p>\n Raf\u2019s England debrief:<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Fifty for Harmanpreet<\/p>\n 29th over: India 179-2 ( Jemimah 78, Kaur 50) At twenty to four, the skies are fading already in Manchester, they\u2019re black in Mumbai. Kaur rolls her wrists to pick up a single for her fifty. Does she smile? Don\u2019t be silly.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 28th over: India 174-2 ( Jemimah 75, Kaur 48) 47) McGrath charges in, arms diagonal pistons. Australia are diving lemon daemons on the rope, diving full length without fear. Rodrigues thwarts them by lofting McGrath over extra-cover for four. Tick tock.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 27th over: India 165-2 ( Jemimah 67, Kaur 47) Gardner hauls things back with four dots. Harmanpreet tries to break the shackles but can only pick up a single to long on.<\/p>\n India\u2019s captain Harmanpreet Kaur plays a shot. Photograph: Punit Paranjpe\/AFP\/Getty ImagesShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a012.58 EDT<\/p>\n 26th over: India 163-2 ( Jemimah 66, Kaur 46) Garth starts with a wide. Two balls later, King dives on the rope, predator-like , to prevent a Jemimah scoop running for four. She digs up the surface with her spikes as she does so. But no-one can stop a wide one running for four leg byes. The next is flicked by Harmanpreet, as a rolled up newspaper after a fly, over midwicket for four more. Fourteen from the over.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a011.38 EDT<\/p>\n 25th over: India 149-2 ( Jemimah 61, Kaur 43) Four singles from Gardner\u2019s second over. At the half way stage, India are behind the run-rate, but have only lost two wickets. Advantage Australia, but all is not lost. Win predictor says 71 per cent Australia \u2013 India need another 190.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 24th over: India 145-2 ( Jemimah 61, Kaur 38) Garth replaces Molineux, and Jemimah cuts her with rolling wrists to the rope. The red soil of the pitch is almost florescent under the lights. And Healy is in a bit of trouble after she\u2019s hit from off the last ball somewhere painful on the gloves \u2013 in fact there might have been a tiny edge on that.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.07 EDT<\/p>\n 23rd over: India 138-2 ( Jemimah 55, Kaur 37) Harmanpreet is beginning to purr, flames King to the midwicket boundary. Some sloppy backing up \u2013 pressure tells, even for Australia. Beth Mooney breathes heavily in the heat of the evening.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a011.26 EDT<\/p>\n 22nd over: India 132-2 ( Jemimah 54, Kaur 31) India graciously accept a wide from Molineux, which on top of a late cut boundary from Harmanpreet and an overthrow means eight from the over.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Fifty for Jemimah<\/p>\n 21st over: India 124-2 ( Jemimah 54, Kaur 25) Jemimah reaches a vital fifty with an urgent sweep to the rope, which just beats Litchfield (?) at full stretch. Then a lofted cover drive, just brushing the the diving hand of Litchfield again \u2013 at full stretch in middle air. Oh the glory of youth . Then a collision as Harmanpreet at full pelt charges into King waiting for the ball at the non-striker\u2019s end. Both tumble to the ground, but seem ok.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a011.15 EDT<\/p>\n 20th over: India 116-2 ( Jemimah 48, Kaur 23) After three more dot balls, Jemimah glides Molineaux for a tasty four, then forces Harmanpreet into a tight single.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a011.15 EDT<\/p>\n 19th over: India 111-2 ( Jemimah 43, Kaur 23) King offers Harmanpreet a juicy full toss, and she leans in and tonks it through mid-on for a needed boundary \u2013 but those are the only runs from the over. Jemimah watches and waits from the non-striker\u2019s end, the shadows from the bars of her helmet dancing on her neck.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a011.15 EDT<\/p>\n 18th over: India 107-2 ( Jemimah 43, Kaur 19) Molineaux replaces Sutherland. Starts with a wide that passes Harmanpreet\u2019s bat and Healy\u2019s gloves and zips down to the rope. Nice running brings three singles, but the run-rate has crept up to 7.21.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a011.14 EDT<\/p>\n 17th over: India 99-2 ( Jemimah 42, Kaur 17) King with the ball, and it is starting to rain in Navi Mumbai, umbrellas upa nd cagouls on around the ground. India hitting the ball nicely but finding the fielders. King calls for a towel to dry the ball.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 16th over: India 94-2 ( Jemimah 39, Kaur 16) Sutherland resumes, Jemimah scoops, but only for a single. But Harmapreet does make the rope, tonked through mid-on with style.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 15th over: India 88-2 ( Jemimah 38, Kaur 10) Alana King, fresh from 7-18 against South Africa, gets her first bowl. Harmanpreet doesn\u2019t look entirely at ease, gets the ball stuck somewhere in her pad from the last ball, and Healy scrambles for a stumping. They take drinks, with India still in it \u2013 just.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 14th over: India 83-2 ( Jemimah 36, Kaur 7) Sutherland\u2019s first ball is tattied away through backwards point for four by Jemimah. And then Harmapreet, who has been slow off the mark, gets her first boundary with four flashed past a diving extra cover. At the same point in their innings, Australia were 89-1.<\/p>\n \u201cWell I looked up Chip Butty now,\u201d writes Krishnamoorthy V. \u201cThe humble vada pav is loaded with history. This was introduced during the textile mill boom years of Bombay when the workers needed to eat something quickly without a need to wash their hands later. A Pav (a special kind of bread) the fried potato filled vada and dry garlic chutney combination was easy on the purse, tasty on the palette and clean on the hands.\u201d<\/p>\n Fabulous history lesson \u2013 thank you! Also, I need to try one.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 13th over: India 74-2 ( Jemimah 31, Kaur 3) Molineux again, low pony tail, delicate gold hoop earrings. Just a single from it.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 12th over: India 73-2 ( Jemimah 30, Kaur 3) A double change as Sutherland is thrown the ball. Her first ball is a full toss and Jemimah makes merry \u2013 three more singles to ensure that India are not falling too far behind on the run rate.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 11th over: India 66-2 ( Jemimah 24, Kaur 2) Healy turns to Molineux. Jemimah slips over in the middle but scrambles back in time. Molineaux drops short and Jemimah licks her lips, sways and and shimmies her away for four.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 10th over: India 60-2 ( Jemimah 19, Kaur 1) Garth\u2019s first ball is caressed once more through the covers for four by Smriti, but she gets her reward, from a dud of a ball but a hell of a review by Healy. The stadium balloon deflates a little more.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>WICKET! Smriti c Healy b Garth 24 (India 59-2)<\/p>\n Silence at Navi Mumbai as Smriti \u2013 motoring \u2013 is given out on review. An eyelash of a spike on Ultra Edge \u2013 strangled down the leg side off a wide. Smriti can\u2019t believe it, shakes her head as she shuffles off.<\/p>\n Smriti isn\u2019t happy. Photograph: Pankaj Nangia\/Getty ImagesShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a010.59 EDT<\/p>\n 9th over: India 55-1 ( Smriti 20, Jemimah 19) Gardner gets a go. Exquisite from Jemimah, a gem of a cover drive thrilling to the rope. And another, but Litchfield never gives up on the chase and saves four on the dive. She pants, hands on knees, giving everything.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 8th over: India 49-1 ( Smriti 20, Jemimah 13) Garth gets the treatment now, Jemimah jumping almost into box splits and spooning Garth backwards for four.<\/p>\n \u201dAndy Pechey complimented the new verbs you are inventing (mangoed, frying panned, baguetted) for the shots, in the OBO yesterday.\u201d Desperate times Krishnamoorthy V\u2026. \u201cLet me help you with some more with local flavor —- vada-pav_ed, jalebi_ed, dhokla_ed, bajji_ed, lassi_ed.\u201d<\/p>\n I just looked up a vada-pav, the Indian equivalent of a chip barm\/butty?<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 7th over: India 44-1 ( Smriti 20, Jemimah 8) Stand upon stand of blue shirts gyrate to the crack of a Smriti cut, sliding like a paper knife through the green sward. A fabulous dive from Ellyse Perry on the rope saves another four next ball.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 6th over: India 38-1 ( Smriti 14, Jemimah 8) Glorious from Smriti \u2013 plonks her left foot and clonks Garth back over her head for a heady six. Jemimah whisks four through midwicket and the stadium rocks with delight. I think I heard a commentator say 40,00 are in the stands today, and nearly every one in Indian blue.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a010.12 EDT<\/p>\n 5th over: India 27-1 ( Smriti 7, Jemimah 4) Smriti nearly loses her stumps, having a wild hack at a ball that winks away and beats Healy as well, zipping down to the rope for four byes.<\/p>\n
