    2.2 chipped up and gobbled up by Sajana! Shortish on leg stump and this seems to stand up. Holds a little in the surface too and Mooney fends at it uppishly. The ball hangs in the air and floats towards mid wicket, where Sajana moves sharply to her left and then lunges forward to send Mooney on her way. Her indifferent tournament continues, and this is a big scalp for MI early! 21/1
    10.1 straight to deep mid wicket, and Devine departs too! Banged into the track outside off and Devine's eyes light up. She has a swipe at this but does not quite get the power or the elevation she wants. Arrows it down Kerr's throat, and MI have gone back-to-back, much to Devine and the Giants' dissappointment! 71/3
    9.3 shanked this time, and Kerr has the last laugh! Brave, brave bowling this. Tossed up on a fullish length on off. Seems like a googly and Anushka, trying to go downtown, cloths it. The bat face closes upon impact and she lobs it towards Ismail, who takes the catch well inside the long on fence. Timely breakthrough for the defending champions! 69/2
    17.2 stumped by a mile, and Kerr produces another moment of absolute magic! Floated up deliciously on a fullish length on middle and leg. Drifts in, hangs in the air and that does for Gardner completely. She hares down but is nowhere to the pitch of the ball. Has a wild slog thereafter and misses, with Firdous doing the rest behind the stumps! 142/4

    5.6 soft, soft dismissal, and Sajana's troubled stay comes to an end! Length ball angling into off stump. Sajana wants to go downtown but there is no shape on the stroke. No conviction either and all Sajana does is chip it straight to Fulmali at mid off. MI and their powerplay woes continue! 33/2
    4.3 chopped on, and Devine is doing divine things again! Back of a length just outside off. Keeps a little low and seems to stick in the surface too. A bit of nip back as well and Matthews, trying to force the issue through the off side, only manages an inside edge that cannons into middle stump. Devine is delighted; Matthews and MI, not quite! 23/1
    6.5 skied and taken this time! Oh, Sophie Devine, can you do any wrong?! Dug into the track on off and this stops in the surface. NSB looks for that favoured short-arm-jab but cannot get on top of the bounce. Cannot get fully under it either and she pops it towards deep square, where Gautam makes no mistake. Gigantic moment in the game! 37/3

    11.5 nicked and gone! Superb grab by Mooney, and Wareham breaks a threatening stand! Fizzed through on a back of a length outside off. This skids through, apart from spinning away a touch. Kerr shpes to cut but is a tad rushed on the stroke. A substantial deflection and Mooney has done brilliantly to hold on to that to her right. Timely breakthrough for GG! 82/4
    16.6 deceived in the air, and Amanjot is outta here! Courageous bowling this. Tossed up on a length outside off. Amanjot charges but soon realizes she is nowhere to the pitch of the ball. Has a waft at it anyway and misses, with Mooney whipping off the bails in a jiffy. Big wicket, considering the batting MI have left! 126/5
    17.2 was that a caught-behind chance?! Looks like it was based on Mooney's reaction! But hang on, the umpire has given it out lbw! Scenes in Vadodara! Fizzed through on a length on off. Sharp turn off the surface and Gupta seems to be cut in half. There is a deflection off the back leg, and there may have been bat involved too, which could yet come into the equation. We go upstairs to see what the deal is. Oh well. Looks like the ball has missed the bat before kissing the back leg. Three reds on Ball Tracking too, and Wareham has another! 127/6
    19.5 plonked up into the air, and Gardner takes a return catch! Flighted up on a length outside off. Khemnar tries to smash this into the sea but gets it all wrong. Off the toe-end and the ball swirls into the short mid on region, where Gardner does the rest. GG almost there! 155/7
