    Wish my fridge was WiFi connected. I'm listening via the robot hoover. Trouble is that it's on random, so I have to follow it around the house.

    Finally, Richa Ghosh comes in to bat.

    Sneh Rana twisted the bat in her hand as she hit that and it was a very good catch in the deep.

    A big moment in the game!

    Caught this time! It seems a message came out between overs because Sneh Rana heaves at the second delivery. She hits hit high but not far enough and is caught at wide long-on.

    As Operation Find the Fridge continues, Sneh Rana finally throws the bat in anger. She makes decent contact too and gets four through mid-wicket to take India beyond 200.

    Actually, we've had three page views via the fridge rather than viewers so they may have all been the same person. They all came between 12pm and 1:30pm.

    Were you peckish?

    Only singles and one two in this over.

    Dew coming into the game will become a factor and throw that in with the bugs, it's not going to be easy.

    If our stats pages are to be believed, three people are following this live page via a VR headset (photo please!) and another three via their fridge.

    I NEED to know more.

    Deepti Sharma sweeps for four! This one could have been stopped on the boundary but it evades the dive and releases the pressure.

    Bowler Sadia Iqbal holds out her palms to ask what is going on.

    Sneh Rana has lacked any sort of intent to score. India need to try and up their run-rate in these last few overs.

    That boundary remains the exception rather than the norm. There are more dots than a King of the Mountains cycling jersey in this over.

    Remember big-hitter Richa Ghosh is still in the shed. This is odd from India.

    A much-needed boundary for India and Sneh Rana. Their run scoring has just halted in the second half on this innings.

    It is time to put the foot on the gas.

    Deepti 14, Rana 9

    Seven runs from that over.

    For all of the talk about India's struggles here, I'd still back them if they are defending anything over 200.

    Sneh Rana, who had only five from her first 18 balls, finally gets a cut away to take her first boundary. We're into the finally 10 overs now. India need to kick on.

    What's gone on here? Amid all of the madness, Sneh Rana has nicked a drive behind the keeper but no-one appealed!

    If Fatima Sana can keep India close to the 220 mark then Pakistan will be really happy and will fancy their chances.
