	India Women innings (50 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
	AA Deshpande†	c Greenway b Gunn	32	86	68	4	1	47.05
	21.2 Done in by the slightly slower one. It was floated full outside off and Deshpande slices it right of point where the fielder holds a smart catch. 61/3
	A Chopra	lbw b Guha	0	13	8	0	0	0.00
	3.2 Isa Guha has struck early. It landed on a length on the leg stump line and cut past the forward prod to hit the back leg. There was doubt t whether it pitched in line and whether it would have hit the off stump. It might have just landed in line but was it hitting the off stump? Anyway it has been given. Will confirm after a replay or two. Anjum leaned forward to defend but was beaten by the movement there. Wasim Akram thinks it's a good decision ... I have my reservations but hey he is the one who has played in Tests. so that's that. 4/1
	MDT Kamini	c & b Guha	3	17	14	0	0	21.42
	7.3 Would you believe it? Kamini has scooped it gently back to Isa. It was a full length delivery on the middle and Kamini tried to push it through to the on side but ended up giving a dolly back to the bowler. India are wobbling here against some disciplined bowling from Isa and Brent. 9/2
	M Raj	c Greenway b Gunn	59	133	90	9	0	65.55
	41.2 But she is gone now. Gunn gets the big fish. Full and outside off, Mithali slices it straight to backward point and Gunn lets out a scream of joy. Fine innings, though from Mithali. Looked really classy out there but didn't find much support from her team-mates. 123/8
	R Dhar	st †SJ Taylor b Colvin	3	26	18	0	0	16.66
	28.5 And she is stumped. Beaten by the lovely flight and turn. It drifted in, landed on the off stump line before breaking away sharply past the bat and the keeper does the rest. Nice bit of bowling. Dhar had come down for the big swing over mid-on but was done in the flight 92/4
	P Roy	c Greenway b Colvin	4	29	31	0	0	12.90
	36.2 And she has holed out. It was in the cards. Priyanka Roy's misery ends. She went down on a knee and top-edged a slog to midwicket 108/5
	SK Naidu	c †SJ Taylor b Colvin	0	2	3	0	0	0.00
	36.6 And Mithali is in danger of being stranded. It was outside off stump, a tad quicker than her normal deliveries, Naidu tried to jab it away but edged to the keeper 109/6
	J Goswami*	lbw b Shaw	0	2	2	0	0	0.00
	37.3 India continue to tumble. Jhulan caught in front. Dead duck. It was a length delivery shaping in towards middle and leg and Jhulan had a waft across the line and missed. The umpire didn't. England are all over India here. 110/7
	H Kaur	b Gunn	8	21	18	1	0	44.44
	43.1 Gunn hunts down another one. It was full and outside off stump and Kaur goes for the off drive but edges it to her stumps. 126/9
	A Sharma	b Edwards	33	26	24	5	1	137.50
	48.4 Entertainment over, folks. Amita Sharma's cameo comes to an end. She went for another reverse sweep but didn't connect. Timber. 169/10
	G Sultana	not out	10	18	18	2	0	55.55
	Extras	(b 1, lb 4, w 10, nb 2)	17
	Total	(all out; 48.4 overs; 180 mins)	169	(3.47 runs per over)
