    3.5 there goes her off the stump! Nandani's impressive maiden WPL season and MI's opening woes continue. Lands it on the perfect length just outside off and nips it in just a bit to beat the inside edge. And there's the salute with a gleaming smile from Nandani 21/1
    4.1 and there goes Matthews' middle stump! The first ball of the over is coming in with the angle, nips off the pitch a hint and Matthews heaves and misses this 21/2

    13.5 And she's gone! She goes down the pitch and tries to hit it straight down the ground. Holds her shape and has a still head, but just no power on it. The ball died on her. Long on takes a comfortable catch. 99/3
    17.1 And the gambit works! She floats it outside off, gives plenty of room after landing it full. She tries to reach at it for a cut, but she finds Sneh Rana at cover. Too wide from her body for her to generate any power into that cut, her shoulders and head dropped too, reducing the power on the shot further 130/4
    17.5 She gets down and tries to lift it over the keeper. The ball was a little too full and almost skidded through, and she misses the shot. A timid appeal and the umpire turns them down. Jemimah takes a review, though. And she's nicked it! It hits the gloves right as she completes the sweep. The stump mic confirms it and she has to walk back 134/5

    7.3 Vaishnavi bags Shafali as her maiden WPL wicket! She answers the captain' call and how. her round-arm action from wide of the crease almost darts the ball into the leg stump as Shafali goes across and misses the line. Is she pumped or what? Vaishnavi does a double punch of the air 63/1
    10.2 She tries to flick it away but it is way down leg. It means she loses her balance and might be out of the crease here. Keeper did well to collect and whip the bails off. The umpire takes his good time... They've gone up for a stumping. It's taking a while, with the third umpire and TV directors trying to find an angle they can't seem to put their finger on so far... Okay now they've got it, and the umpire takes it frame-by-frame. Oh, and the surgical precision is yielding a result! Lee's bat might have bounced off the crease just as the keeper whipped the bails off. "I need to see the footage well," the umpire declares. Another strand of hair whitens somewhere on the field. In the end, it flashes on the screen: "Out". Amanjot Kaur won't mind the wait after the red letters flashed on the screen 84/2
    16.1 OH NO! Disaster strikes for Wolvaardt. Bowled short of a length, down leg, but Rodrigues is in great position onto her leg side to smash it down the line. Too well, in fact, because Sciver-Brunt reaches down for the ball. Brushes her hand and deflects right back onto the stumps. She was never making it back into the crease in that one instant 118/3
