Sutherland to Kaur, out Caught by Gardner!! Clutch from Gardner. What a catch under pressure. And it's not an easy one too. Short outside off, Kaur pulls and doesn't time it, Gardner sprints from deep mid-wicket and keeps her eyes on the ball, takes it two-handed and dives forward to complete it. It looked like it was falling in front of her, but Gardner showed great athletic ability. Is that the wicket which breaks Indian hearts? Great knock from the Indian skipper but one felt in the last 10-15 minutes, she was looking to attack at every ball. Proves to be her undoing. The crowd are stunned into silence.
