    Charani c Pervaiz b Iqbal 1 (Ind 226-8)

    Sree Charani doesn't read the room. The wise thing is to just give Richa Ghosh the strike but she swings hard and slices a catch to backward point.

    It feels like Richa Ghosh is playing on a completely different pitch to the rest of the batters.

  3. Ind 225-7published at 48 overs

    And Richa Ghosh keeps the strike at the end of the over, moving to 22 from 14 balls in the process.

    Still no word from the fridge.

    Ind 224-7published at 47.5 overs

    This might be the shot of the day and will be calming any India nerves!

    It's a stunning drive over extra cover with swish of the wrists Suryakumar Yadav-style.

    Brilliant from Richa Ghosh here. She has been given the instruction to just score as many boundaries as she can.

  6. Ind 216-7published at 47.2 overs

    Richa Ghosh is both helping her team and making the decision to drop her down the order look silly.

    She clubs a full toss down the ground for four.

  7. Ind 212-7published at 47 overs

    That six hurts Fatima Sana's figures a touch - she ends with 2-38 from 10 overs - but she has still done a lot of good today...

    Right in the slot from Richa Ghosh - she picked it up beautifully. She has been trying to play that shot all day.

  9. 6 runs

    Ind 211-7published at 46.4 overs

    Whacked for six! I was just about to say the pitch must be tricky but Richa Ghosh has timed this plenty.

    India should be looking to aim for about 230 now and Richa Ghosh will need to do the bulk of the run-scoring.

    Is it just me that didn't know fridges had WiFi?

    You can tell Pakistan think they're in the game. Their fielders look in the zone and are striding around with purpose.

  13. Ind 203-7published at 46 overs

    Ghosh 1, Charani 0

    And that over from Diana Baig - the 46th of the innings - is a wicket maiden. Excellent stuff and pretty poor from India.

  14. Not outpublished at 14:20 BST 5 October 2025

    Sree Charani has missed this by a distance.

    It is still another dot ball, however.

    Sree Charani reviewed that immediately. She must feel adamant that she did not hit it.

  16. India reviewpublished at 14:20 BST 5 October 2025

    Given again! Sree Charani, the new batter, is deemed to have nicked behind in identical fashion to Deepti Sharma.

    She reviews...

    That was easy as you like. Diana Baig knows she is there to get important breakthroughs.

    India could risk being bowled out here.

    Deepti c Nawaz b Baig 25 (Ind 203-7)

    Seamer Diana Baig points to her chest as Deepti Sharma nicks behind. This has not been impressive at all from India.

    Pakistan feel like they're in the game.

    Richa Ghosh is very good in the shorter format of the game which is why she is so useful coming in at this point.

  20. Ind 203-6published at 45 overs

    Deepti 25, Ghosh 1

    We're still on three page views from the fridge. There have been no more in the past 45 minutes. They don't know they've been found.

    Two dots after the wicket from Fatima Sana who has been superb.
