Shree Charani to Nicola Carey, out Bowled!! Backs away and looks to cut but misses the line of the delivery to be clean bowled. That was quicker through the air and off the deck as well.

Fullish delivery shaping away, around off, Beth Mooney tries to hit it across the line but is early into the stroke and gets a leading edge towards extra cover.

Kranti Gaud to Georgia Voll, wide, India review for a caught behind just before the timer runs out. Deepti was really confident that there was a nick and managed to convince Harmanpreet to take the review.
