    Healy c Rana b Charani 142 (Aus 265-4)

    It's given! The TV umpire thinks she's seen enough. She says it has not been grounded.

    That has lifted the crowd but is it too little too late?

    It's Sneh Rana leaning forward at point. Has she got her fingers under it? I don't think they'll give it.

  3. Umpire reviewpublished at 38.5 overs

    Is Alyssa Healy out? She is walking towards the dressing room but India don't look that confident it has carried.

  4. Aus 258-3published at 38 overs

    Need 73 runs from 72 balls

    Healy and Gardner lean on their bats at the end of the over. They're making the highest chase in women's World Cup history looks easy.

  5. Aus 256-3published at 37.4 overs

    Four more. Everyone else may as well go home. Australia are a level above.

    Such a well-timed shot from Alyssa Healy there. Smriti Mandhana thought she was in with a chance for a second, but all she could do was watch it sail over her head. Healy is playing this game so well, and she is picking the gap so well.

    Over the rope again, just when the run-rate slowed. Alyssa Healy has a 170 in a World Cup final and it might not even be her best knock after this.

  8. Aus 245-3published at 37 overs

    Healy 131, Gardner 31

    India are on about Plan E to Healy. Those last six overs are going to cost India.

  9. Aus 244-3published at 36.3 overs

    Healy's getting the reverse sweeps out now and kicking for home. Harmanpreet Kaur stands with her hands on her hips. Do India have enough left to go again?

    Somehow India have got to keep the energy levels high and keep motivating the fielders. Harmanpreet Kaur can get animated and can get heated when things aren't going her way.

  11. Aus 240-3published at 36 overs

    Need 91 runs to win from 84 balls

    Healy takes off her gloves and twists and stretches her forearm at the end of the over. Tiredness looks like the only things that will stop her. She has been on the field for every ball of this match.

    India’s score looks at least 70 runs light. Australia should walk this from here

    She's found another gap. This is sensational from Alyssa Healy.

    For the first time in the chase, Australia are now favourites, according to WinViz...

    Australia will pull off the highest chase in women's ODI history with five overs to spare at this rate.

    India have let Ash Gardner settle now, and you don't want to do that, do you? I think she is not looking 100% settled yet, especially since there are a few shots that she is looking to hit specific areas, but hasn't pulled it off.

  17. Aus 230-3published at 34.1 overs

    Deepti Sharma loses her line. India are struggling. Four more.

    Australia will be looking to get the equation below 100 as soon as possible, and that is such an important milestone psychologically.

  19. Aus 226-3published at 34 overs

    Need 105 more runs to win

    You can see the confidence oozing from these two. After bashing another four, Ash Gardner is grinning as she strolls down the pitch to meet her captain and batting partner. Healy then follows by pulling the final ball for four.

    12 from the over. Australia are cruising in fourth gear.

    Perhaps there would be a bit of disappointment with the way the Australian top order and Alyssa Healy have performed in the tournament coming into this game. But the way Healy is seeing it today, she is striking it so nicely.
