    Target 331

    Superb finish from Amanjot Kaur as Perry fails to get either away. The cheer rises again.

    Australia need 13 from 12 balls to win.

    Ellyse Perry will be calm, and she is bringing in all of her experience, but she cannot afford to have many more dot balls.

  3. Aus 318-7published at 47.4 overs

    Need 13 from 14 balls

    Is it worth India taking a risk and bringing a fielder up? Australia are nudging their way closer in ones.

  4. Aus 317-7published at 47.3 overs

    If Perry remains until the end, surely Australia will win.

    She calmly jogs another single.

    14 from 15 balls to win.

    Amanjot Kaur to continue...

  6. Aus 315-7published at 47 overs

    Need 16 runs from 18 balls

    No. No, Ellyse Perry does not feel pressure.

    She swings a full toss for four through mid-wicket to edge Australia closer.

  7. Aus 311-7published at 46.5 overs

    Another dot is cheered by the crowd. Surely Ellyse Perry doesn't feel pressure.

  8. Aus 311-7published at 46.3 overs

    Run-out chance! It's Jemimah Rodrigues. I think it would have been out with a hit.

  9. Aus 310-7published at 46.3 overs

    A good comeback with a yorker from seamer Gaud. There are people on their feet applauding

  10. Aus 310-7published at 46.2 overs

    Cut for four by Kim Garth! The pressure is released. It was too wide from Gaud.

    21 from 22 needed.

  11. Aus 305-7published at 46.1 overs

    Kranti Gaud begins with a full toss but gets away with it as Perry takes a single to the sweeper.

  12. Aus 305-7published at 46 overs

    Need 26 runs from 24 balls

    Two dot balls to finish from Amanjot Kaur, who has bowled very well here despite my doubts. Perry will have the strike for the next over.

    The required rate has kept back up above a run per ball.

  13. Aus 304-7published at 45.3 overs

    Need 27 from 27 balls

    What does Ellyse Perry do? Does she have a dart? Two boundaries and all of that Indian hope will vanish.

    The win predictor has overestimated Australia's chances a little bit, as there was always a chance of India picking up another wicket and putting more pressure on Australia.

    Kim Garth made important runs with Beth Mooney in the previous game. That was not in this situation or atmosphere, however.

    28 from 29 to win.

    Molineux lbw b A Kaur 18 (Aus 303-7)

    It's absolutely out.

    Visakhapatnam believes.

    I think she's gone, but I can kind of see where Perry was coming from because they have two reviews remaining.

  19. Australia reviewpublished at 45.1 overs

    Given lbw! Sophie Molineux is only reviewing because there's two left. She thinks this is out.

  20. Aus 303-6published at 45 overs

    Target 331

    Excellent fielding from Kranti Goud keeps Sophie Molineux to one. Had that been four there would have been a huge release in pressure.

    28 from 30 to win.
