    1.1 Slight misjudgement but Dulani hangs on. Shafali falls early. Not what India would have expected and wanted from Shafali in Mandhana's absence. She sees the flighted ball on a length, pitching outside leg. She charges down to hit her over long-on but finds the fielder there. Dulani seemed to have lost it a bit but hung on 5/1
    4.1 Trapped in front and that is that for Kamalini tonight. She trudges slowly towards Deol and opts for the review. Tossed up full around off and middle. Kamalini gets down on her knee to play the sweep. The ball passes under her blade to hit her on the back thigh. Nothing on Ultra-Edge and that is as plumb as iot gets. India lose another wicket and a review 27/2

    6.2 Knocked her over, Deol does not make the life count. Full and straight on off and middle, 102.8kph. It moves in the air just a little. Deol goes for a hoick across the line and gets a tickle on it and onto the stumps. She does not make use of the chance at No. 3 and India slide into trouble 41/3

    17.4 Massive, massive strike as Dilhari ends Harmanpreet's stay. Darts the length ball in the surface, 95.7kph. Looks like the arm ball as well. Harmanpreet goes back and across to heave it across the line (assuming it to be the offspinner). Gets an inside edge through her legs and it rattles the stumps. India's finish fizzing out... 142/7
    8.3 Tickled behind and Athapaththu is on the board with the big one of Ghosh. Slanting away on a length outside off, she hangs back to play the dab past the wicketkeeper. Gets a thick edge which Nuthyangana pouches safely 64/4
    10.4 Catching practice to short fine leg. Athapaththu foxes Deepti with her speed and flight. Tossed up well outside off, lands it on a length. There is spin and bounce on that once. Deepti looks to fetch the sweep from well outside the line, only gets a top edge which Meepage doesn't drop 77/5
    16.5 Amanjot holes out to long-on. She looks to repeat the previous stroke - a tonk over the leg side. Sewwandi slows the pace down - 95.3kph - for this length ball around off and middle. Amanjot gets more height and less distance this time. Straight to Dilhari in the deep. End of the 61-run stand that has brought India back on track 138/6

    16.4 Yorked her and Charani extracts revenge! The anger is writ large on her face as the set Perera walks back. Once again Perera moves to leg to make room. Once again Charani bowls a quicker one, 85.5kph. This time, she attacks the stumps instead of following the batter. Cramps her for room and she gets an edge onto the stumps 132/5
    1.5 Deepti takes a diving catch! That was travelling. Athapaththu is out of here. Just before this ball, Deepti moved from point to extra cover. Athapaththu sees the wide length ball and goes hard at it. Finds one of India's safest fielders to perfection. Reddy strikes in her opening over and it is the big fish trudging back 7/1
    11.1 Amanjot strikes first ball to break the 79-run partnership. Bowls a full length ball outside off, 101.4kph. Dulani cannot resist the temptation of the floaty ball. Looks to go over the off side but hits it straight to Shafali at covers. Dulani walks back after a fantastic innings, one that could well help Sri Lanka pull one back in the series 86/2
    13.3 Huge appeal for lbw, given! Deepti is the highest wicket-taker in women's T20Is now Nilakshika reviews. Cross-seam ball on a length on middle, she looks to work it across the line. Misses it completely and is hit on the front pad. Three reds on ball-tracking and Sri Lanka are stung again 100/3
    14.3 Bowled her! Vaishnavi opens her account tonight. Her flight and guile is spoken of highly by her coaches and that is in display here. After being hit on the previous ball, she drags the length back and bowls it slower - 68.5kph - on middle. Dilhari looks to play the sweep but is early into her shot. Misses her shot and the ball pings middle 107/4
    17.5 And now Samarawickrama holes out, it is all unravelling for Sri Lanka. Rana fires this in on middle and leg, she can only slog it straight to Deol at deep midwicket. Sri Lanka have lost three wickets in eight balls now 140/7
    17.4 A massive mix-up and an easy run-out. Samarawickrama takes a couple of steps down and hits the low full toss to Harmanpreet at cover. Nuthyangana had come down charging for a quick single. Samrawickrama sent her back and then took a few steps to run. Too late. Harmanpreet's throw to Rana is spot on and that's that 140/6
