    This is much-needed impetus from India.

  2. Ind 133-5

    Nadine de Klerk marks her return to the attack with a fairly grim full toss which Richa Ghosh edges for four.

    Three balls later, de Klerk completely bamboozles Ghosh with a yorker.

    Deepti Sharma finishes the over with a swept four.

    A mixed bag from de Klerk and India have made the most of it. 11 from it.

  3. Ind 122-5

    Cheers around Old Trafford as Deepti Sharma collects four through third. A bit streaky but they all count.

    Ayabonga Khaka lost her line a little.

  4. Ind 116-5

    Shabnim Ismail finishes her allocation with figures of 2-28 but she's in a bit of pain after fielding the final ball of the over. It looks like her left thumb is a bit bloodied as she dashes from the field.

    Five overs to go.

    That felt like Harmanpreet Kaur got beaten for pace.

    I want to say that is an excellent breakthrough for South Africa but with Richa Ghosh coming to the wicket...

    It just felt like Harmanpreet Kaur was going to start going but it was very good bowling.

    WICKET

    Kaur b Ismail 24 (Ind 116-5)

    Harmanpreet Kaur gets an inside edge onto her stumps. She walks off for 24 (22).

  8. Ind 113-4

    Six overs to go. India will want at least 170 but that will require quite an acceleration.

    Harmanpreet Kaur has shown real patience but that was just too easy.

  10. Ind 113-4

    A couple of rare boundaries for India.

    Deepti Sharma sweeps over Marizanne Kapp at short fine for four. Kapp looks a bit laboured in her movements in the field.

    Harmanpreet Kaur finishes with one of her own, cutting.

    A profitable over - 12 from it.

    On Saturday night at Headingley, Scotland were guilty of some grim ground fielding against England and South Africa are gifting India runs in a similar fashion here.

    Deepti Sharma's dab behind is misfielded and Marizanne Kapp has to give chase to save the boundary. India run three.

    Eight off the over. 100 up for India.

  12. Ind 93-4

    Six from the over. Much better control from Chloe Tryon.

  13. Ind 91-4

    Chloe Tryon, smacked about in the powerplay by Shafali Verma, returns to the attack and is immediately cut for four by Harmanpreet Kaur.

    It was far too wide from the bowler but a running Marizanne Kapp should have done better on the rope. Her dive sent her over the ball.

    Former Lancashire & Manchester Originals bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    I love how South Africa squeeze every drop of ability out of their talent pool.

  15. Ind 87-4

    Quick running from Harmanpreet Kaur and Deepti Sharma allows them to pinch two off the final ball of the 11th over.

    Five from it for India but Nadine de Klerk snared the important wicket of Jemimah Rodrigues.

    That is a huge wicket. It is only Nadine de Klerk's second ball but she's made such an impact.

    South Africa are getting wickets at the right time.

    WICKET

    Rodrigues c & b de Klerk 12 (Ind 83-4)

    Deary me. Jemimah Rodrigues pops a tame edge back to bowler Nadine de Klerk, who gleefully holds on with both hands as she skids to the floor.

    She's out for a rather laboured 12. Here comes Deepti Sharma.

  18. Ind 82-3

    Rodrigues 12, Kaur 7

    We're at the halfway mark of India's innings and the fizz has gone out of the batting side a little.

    From 59-2 at the end of the powerplay, they've only added another 23 runs in the past four overs.

  19. Ind 80-3

    That's more like it from Jemimah Rodrigues, dispatching Nonkululeko Mlaba up and over cover for four. The first boundary of her innings.

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

    It just hasn't been easy for India since the wicket of Shafali Verma. The fact their run-rate is still 8.11 is because of the start that Shafali gave them.
