Sixes and dropped catches as India end innings in a hurry

Live Reporting

by George O'Neill

  1. 6 runs

    Ind 65-0

    Shafali Verma has had enough of nudging singles.

    A big slog sweep sails over the midwicket boundary before a drive through the covers brings four more.

    Verma moves onto 33 from 24 balls.

  2. Ind 54-0

    The odd ball is keeping pretty low and India can only take four singles after that wide.

    This is not a 120 pitch. Watching this, this is a pitch with runs.

  4. Ind 50-0

    India's 50 comes up as Annabel Sutherland starts with a wide.

  5. Ind 49-0

    An excellent comeback from Georgia Wareham, who concedes just one more from the next four deliveries.

  6. Ind 48-0

    Glorious timing from Smriti Mandhana, who greets Georgia Wareham's leg spin with a delightful shot through backward point.

    A big full toss follows, but Mandhana can only find the fielder at deep backward square-leg.

  7. Ind 43-0

    Sophie Molineux continues to chop and change her bowlers.

    Kim Garth is back for the final over of the powerplay.

    A lovely late cut from Shafali Verma beats short third and races to the fence as India reach 43-0 after six.

    The TV coverage cuts to the DJ, who as far as I can tell still hasn't played any Kylie.

    No AC/DC or INXS, either.

    This is the same pitch as was used in the first game today between South Africa and Bangladesh earlier. Laura Wolvaardt reckoned it was a bit slow, which made scoring tricky.

    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    That's Smriti Mandhana's sweet spot, or one of them. She's got a few.

  10. Ind 36-0

    Ellyse Perry into the attack and she starts in tidy fashion before dropping slightly short - Smriti Mandhana swivels on it and picks up four more.

    ShafaliPA Media

    That's going to get the run rate up.

  12. 6 runs

    Ind 29-0

    Even better from Shafali Verma!

    It's over mid-off again, but this time it flies over the rope for six.

    A single off the next ball means she keeps the strike.

  13. Annesha Ghosh
    India cricket journalist on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Shafalai Verma greeted Ash Gardner there. Hopefully that'll be the first of many.

  14. Ind 20-0

    Spin into the attack and Shafali Verma smashes Ash Gardner over mid-off for her first boundary.

  15. Geoff Lemon
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    Things are not quite going India's way early.

  16. Ind 16-0

    A grimace from Sophie Molineux as Smriti Mandhana pulls away to the square-leg boundary. Too short from Lucy Hamilton.

    Still, only five runs off the over. It's been a sedate start from India.

    The India fans are dancing to the beat after the ball reaches the boundary.

    I wonder when the DJ is going to play some Aussie tunes. Kylie, maybe?

  18. Ind 11-0

    Those two boundaries were the only scoring shots of Kim Garth's first over.

  19. Geoff Lemon
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    That was pure timing. Didn't need to hit that particularly hard.

  20. Ind 11-0

    There's the first boundary of the game.

    Smriti Mandhana punching Kim Garth into the leg side and it runs down the slope for four.

    And again! Almost an action replay off the very next delivery.
