- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.3 popped back to Kerr, and Mooney has to walk! How often has Kerr done this for MI! Floated up full just outside off. Mooney wants to drive down the ground but does not fully get to the pitch of the ball. Pushes it uppishly and Kerr accepts the offering with both hands (literally and metaphorically). Big wicket for MI! 64/22.4 edged and taken this time! Ismail bags the big fish, and Kamalini has a moment of redemption! Shortish outside off and this skids through a touch. Devine throws her hands at it but only musters an outside edge. Kamalini moves smartly to her right, dives and gobbles up the chance. Ismail delighted; Devine, visibly disappointed. Big moment this! 22/110.1 holes out to long on, and MI are hitting back now! Dangles the carrot on a length on off, and Ahuja bites. She hares down, trying to smash this into next week. Cuts across it too much, though, and only gets the height she wants. Carey moves to her left from long on, settles under it and does the rest. MI chipping away nicely now! 99/49.2 big lbw shout, not given! Zipped in on a length on middle stump. Gardner falls across and then plays all around it. Smashed on the front pad and this does look very close. MI review. Like on the previous occasion, this could be trouble for Gardner if she has not hit it. Flat line on UltraEdge and MI could be in the game here. Ball Tracking comes up, and it has the ball smashing into leg stump. Carey breaks through, and Gardner is outta here! 97/315.6 Into the blockhole on middle and off. Wareham backs away but can still not get under it. Clinked to long off Well well. Looks like Soni has been retired out, with Fulmali coming in. Big call this but maybe not a bad call, given the power Fulmali has and given how much Soni was struggling. 136/5Extras6 (lb 4, nb 1, w 1)TOTAL192/5 (20 Overs, RR: 9.6)Fall of wickets: 1-22 (Sophie Devine, 2.4 ov), 2-64 (Beth Mooney, 6.3 ov), 3-97 (Ashleigh Gardner, 9.2 ov), 4-99 (Kanika Ahuja, 10.1 ov), 5-136 (Ayushi Soni, 15.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.5 Mooney is very confident about the stumping, and we go upstairs! Fullish in the channel and this moves away late. Kamalini has a big swing at it and misses it. Seems to over-balance too and Mooney's reaction suggests Kamalini might be on her way. The entire protocol will be followed now. UltraEdge first and no bat involved. Onto the stumping. Kamalini's back foot did slide out, and Mooney was quick enough to whip off the bails too. Nothing behind the line, says the third umpire, and Renuka has a wicket! 20/14.5 this is skied, and taken! Angled in on a length on middle and off. Matthews shuffles across, trying to help it away again. Gets too much under this, though, and that brings Devine into play at fine leg. She circles under it and then lunges forward to complete the catch. Both MI openers back in the shed now! 37/212.1 Devine intervention yet again! Amanjot falls, and GG have a vital scalp! Slower ball on a fullish length just outside off. Dips on Amanjot late but by then, she is committed to the lofted stroke. Reaches out in front and tamely chips it to Gardner at long on, who makes no mistake. Giants needed that! 109/3Extras9 (b 4, lb 4, w 1)TOTAL193/3 (19.2 Overs, RR: 9.98)Fall of wickets: 1-20 (Gunalan Kamalini, 2.5 ov), 2-37 (Hayley Matthews, 4.5 ov), 3-109 (Amanjot Kaur, 12.1 ov)
