Shikha Pandey to Sophie Devine, 2 runs, 50 for Sophie Devine and she is just in. A low full-toss outside off as Shikha Pandey goes back to her ploy of following the batter miles outside off, it's wide of deep mid-wicket, Litchfield runs across and slides to her right, fires a throw to Shweta Sehrawat, the ball takes its time to reach the keeper, that allows Devine to get in, a full-stretch and she is just in. The ball flicks the stumps when Devine is out of her crease, but it takes time to light up, when it does, Devine is in. Gujarat finish with 153

Shikha Pandey to Sophie Devine, SIX, Shikha Pandey changes her plan, bowls full on off-stump, Sophie Devine sinks on her back knee, sweeps and it's a flat hit, just clears the deep backward square-leg fence, that's what Gujarat want. One more delivery for Devine to maximise

Shikha Pandey to Sophie Devine, out Renuka Singh Run Out!! 1 run completed. A fumble from Navgire at long-off, but still Renuka Singh is out. It's a half-volley outside off, drilled hard and straight to Navgire, she fumbles but throws it on the bounce, Shikha Pandey does the rest and Renuka is slow. Needed a dive there. And Sophie Devine was always going for the 2nd. Renuka Singh run out (Kiran Navgire/Shikha Pandey) 1(1)

Shikha Pandey to Sophie Devine, SIX, and the free-hit goes for six. Sophie Devine makes her intentions clear. She is batting miles outside off, it's a half-volley there, lofted miles over wide long-on and it's a clean strike. Shikha Pandey tried to follow the batter there but bowls a slot delivery

Sophie Ecclestone to Sophie Devine, FOUR, again Sophie Devine is well outside off, even before the ball is bowled, a half-volley there, she clubs it hard and straight and beats long-on to her left, one bounce over the ropes

Sophie Ecclestone to Kashvee Gautam, out Bowled!! Across the line and bowled. A flat back of a length delivery on off, skids on a tad, Kashvee Gautam goes on the back foot to whip across the line and she misses, finds the top of off-stump. Kashvee Gautam b Sophie Ecclestone 11(6) [6s-1]

Shikha Pandey to Kashvee Gautam, SIX, just over Litchfield's hands at deep mid-wicket. She leaps but palms it over. It's a short of length delivery around off, Kashvee Gautam goes on the back foot and pulls, has the elevation to clear Litchfield, she leapt and tried to take it with both hands but fails. Replays show that it probably was off-pace and Kashvee did well as she waited for it before pulling

Chloe Tryon to Kanika Ahuja, out Caught by Kiran Navgire!! Now she goes. It's tossed up full and wide outside off, Kanika Ahuja again comes down the track to loft, but slices it and and off the bottom of the bat, easy catch for Navgire at mid-off, she goes back and takes it well. Kanika Ahuja c Kiran Navgire b Chloe Tryon 6(5) [4s-1]

Chloe Tryon to Kanika Ahuja, FOUR, nice hit. It's tossed up full and Kanika Ahuja comes down the track to take it on the half-volley, heaves and it's one bounce over the ropes at deep mid-wicket, splits both fielders nicely

Asha Sobhana to Sophie Devine, out Bharti Fulmali Run Out!! Chaos between Sophie Devine and Bharti Fulmali and the latter goes. It's a full delivery well outside off, Devine shuffles across and is there to meet the sweep, she doesn't time it and it's a simple catch which is dropped by Litchfield at deep mid-wicket, Fulmali wants a run and is at the other end, Devine meanwhile has gone nowhere, Fulmali sacrifices her wicket as the throw comes to Asha Sobhana who does the rest. A wicket gifted away and UPW-W would've liked Devine's wicket rather than Fulmali's. Bharti Fulmali run out (Phoebe Litchfield/Asha Sobhana) 5(5)

Chloe Tryon to Sophie Devine, 1 run, tossed up full on middle, Sophie Devine gets forward and drills it hard and straight back at Chloe Tryon, she fails to stop it, lets it go

Asha Sobhana to Sophie Devine, wide, flat and turning away. Devine let's go and DRS confirms it's just past the line. The third ump used to zoomer to confirm nothing was inside the line. She mistakely first says fair delivery before correcting herself to confirm she meant it was a wide

Sophie Ecclestone to Beth Mooney, out Caught by Kiran Navgire!! And she's just thrown it away. Throws her head back in disappointment because this wasn't a wicket-taking ball at all. Full and wide, wanting to hide it from Mooney's hitting arc. She stepped out to reach out for the drive. Just wanted to place it wide of mid-off but couldn't control the shot because of the lack of balance. Smart of mid-off to move in and dive low to complete an important catch. Beth Mooney c Kiran Navgire b Sophie Ecclestone 38(34) [4s-5]

Chloe Tryon to Beth Mooney, FOUR, steps out, covers the spin, gets close to the pitch of the ball and lofts through the line to get a timely boundary

Chloe Tryon to Sophie Devine, FOUR, now she places the cut through point. Field up on the off-side and she managed to pierce both cover-point and point. Nicely placed

Deepti Sharma to Sophie Devine, SIX, puts on a bold face and slog-sweeps this in the air. Timing good enough to get it wide of deep mid-wicket and well over the boundary. That will ease some pressure but UP won't mind batters playing across the line as there is up and down bounce

Deepti Sharma to Ashleigh Gardner, out Bowled!! That's the pressure getting to Gardner and she will be so disappointed with this dismissal. The talk was to not play loose shots, mainly going too far across the line to balls that aren't short and at the stumps. This one turned a bit, wasn't short at all to be attempting to place the pull way too square. She missed the ball, it brushed the pad and crashed into the stumps. UP piling up the pressure on GG. Ashleigh Gardner b Deepti Sharma 5(12)

Chloe Tryon to Beth Mooney, FOUR, rocks back and cuts, finds the gap at point and finds the fence. Flatter delivery outside off stump, Mooney let the ball come and timed it sweetly

Deepti Sharma to Beth Mooney, FOUR, now she places it so well and finds the boundary through cover. Fielder placed pretty straight in the deep so Mooney opened the bat face slightly to hit it to the right of cover and rounds off the powerplay on a high

Kranti Gaud to Anushka Sharma, out Caught by Shweta Sehrawat!! Appeal, there is a noise and up goes the finger. Short of a length delivery moving away outside off stump, Anushka looks to cut. Again not overly short, cross-bat shot leads to the downfall of Anushka. Kranti Gaud is bowling a gem of a spell here moving the ball both ways and keeping the stumps in play as well. Anushka Sharma c Shweta Sehrawat b Kranti Gaud 14(8) [4s-3]

Kranti Gaud to Anushka Sharma, FOUR, another thickish edge and this time it goes past short third man. Nice away moving length ball with some extra bounce, edge goes square and finds the gap for four more

Shikha Pandey to Anushka Sharma, FOUR, edged but no slip! Fullish delivery outside off stump, Anushka leans forward to drive, thick edge escapes to the right of the keeper and goes to the third man fence

Shikha Pandey to Anushka Sharma, FOUR, leaning into the straight-batted drive and pushing it uppishly past the stumps. Lovely full face of the bat and the timing is good enough to take both mid-off and mid-on out of the equation

Shikha Pandey to Beth Mooney, FOUR, short of a length moving away outside off stump, Mooney rocks back and pulls past mid-wicket for four more

Kranti Gaud to Danni Wyatt-Hodge, out Bowled!! Classy look and celebration from Kranti Gaud after bowling an absolute peach to get rid of Danni. She gives a swag look with arms outstretched here to suggest, she ruled the show there! Length delivery, come out brilliantly from the hands wobbling before pitching. Pitches around off stump and nips away, Danni thinks it will come straight to so she plays inside the line looking to steer with a straight bat past point but she was too far inside the line and could not cover the away movement. Ball hit the top of off stump for what is one of the most satisfying dimissisals for a pacer - to draw the batter into a defence and move it past the bat to hit top of off. Danni Wyatt-Hodge b Kranti Gaud 14(8) [4s-3]

Shikha Pandey to Danni Wyatt-Hodge, FOUR, smashed the drive so hard that the ball still escaped to the fence despite the fielder at cover getting a hand on it. Full delivery outside off stump, slot ball and Danni went fully committed into the drive

Shikha Pandey to Beth Mooney, FOUR, bit of outswing but she offered! Short of a length delivery outside off stump, Mooney cuts and places it past backward point. First boundary for Mooney

Kranti Gaud to Danni Wyatt-Hodge, FOUR, oh the ill-advised cross-batted shot to a ball that's not too short. Gardner mentioned about playing straight and Danni playing her first game here will have to adapt. She went for another cut when it wasn't really short, ball took the inside edge and rolled past the stumpss

Kranti Gaud to Danni Wyatt-Hodge, FOUR, cut away past backward point. Short of a length delivery outside off stump, Danni waits on the back foot and cuts hard, ball escapes in the gap and those are her first runs in GG colours
