47th over: India 151-7 (Kashvee Gautam 0, Sneh Rana 1)
Gardner again gets an edge early in her over that doesn’t quite carry to short leg. Kashvee is navigating things well enough for now, she’s defending well while being very penned in by the fielders under the lids all around her.

46th over: India 150-7 (Kashvee Gautam 0, Sneh Rana 0)
Lucy Hamilton returns to the attack and she doesn’t quite hit her line to start, bowling what would be a wide in limited overs cricket – it’s probably quite a novelty for her to not have it called a wide, so few are her opportunities to play red/pink ball cricket! She changes her angle and comes around the wicket, which works a treat. After a few dot balls, she gets Jemimah swinging and makes the breakthrough.

WICKET! Jemimah Rodrigues c Gardner b Hamilton 52 (India 150-7)
Hamilton comes into the attack and has an almost immediate impact, cramping Jemimah up until she gets frustrated and plays a loose shot to deep square leg, where Gardner is waiting to pounce.

45th over: India 150-6 (Jemimah Rodrigues 52, Sneh Rana 0)
Gardner now and she gets a little edge early, which falls just wide of Voll at short leg. After a few dots, Jemimah decides to get the scoring back underway, getting down low with a lovely sweep shot. Richa gets too impatient though and loses her wicket on the last ball of the over.

WICKET! Richa Ghosh c King b Gardner 11 (India 150-6)
With the pressure building from the past few overs, Richa gets frustrated and slaps at one, which is easily caught by King at midwicket.

44th over: India 149-5 (Jemimah Rodrigues 51, Richa Ghosh 11)
Hello everyone! King resumes her spell and there’s an early almost catching opportunity through backward point, but it’s not a serious chance. It’s a good over from King after a tough start earlier – just the two singles from it.

Fifty for Rodrigues!
43rd over: India 147-5 (Jemimah Rodrigues 50, Richa Ghosh 10) The physio has trucked around the circumference of the field to check on King, but she seems content to try and stretch it off herself. A gorgeous cover drive off Gardner brings Rodrigues fifty – what a super innings it has been . An lbw shout off the last ball of the over – umpire says no, and is right – Healy goes upstairs but there’s a brush of bat on ball.
And that’s it from me, thanks for your company – Megan Maurice will see you through till stumps. Bye!

42nd over: India 141-5 (Jemimah Rodrigues 44, Richa Ghosh 10) King adjusts her collar, tugs her sleeves and wheels in. Lots of encouragement suddenly from behind the stumps. A single from a top edged sweep, and King is suddenly hobbling between balls.

41st over: India 138-5 (Jemimah Rodrigues 42, Richa Ghosh 9) Just a couple off Ghosh.

40th over: India 136-5 (Jemimah Rodrigues 42, Richa Ghosh 7) Our first glance of Alana King, the new women’s table-topper in ODI cricket. But Rodrigues is on a mission, doesn’t want her to settle, and King is a little bit all over the place. First Rodrigues leans into a cover-drive for four, then glides a wide one down to the rope, then sweeps airily past a diving Hamilton’s left hand, before a fourth successive four, a better controlled sweep this time. 18 from the over.

39th over: India 118-5 (Jemimah Rodrigues 25, Richa Ghosh 6) Untold bounty, six off Gardner’s over, including a cover drive for four from Ghosh.
Incidentally, I saw a fantastic film last night The Corinthians: We were the Champions, about a Manchester women’s football club who defied the FA ban and travelled the world to become world champions. Some of the remarkable women in the film were in the audience – what pioneers. Anyway, a big recommend if you have the chance to see it.

38th over: India 112-5 (Jemimah Rodrigues 24, Richa Ghosh 1) Ghosh gets her name in the scorebook, a defensive tonk for a single. They pause for a drink, under an umbrella, and towel their faces. It’s horribly hot out there, 38 degrees at nearly 5pm.
Share
37th over: India 110-5 (Jemimah Rodrigues 23, Richa Ghosh 0) Just a single to Rodrigues from Gardner’s over. It’s a patience game, who will break first? Ghosh has faced 15 balls without scoring so far.
Share
36th over: India 109-5 (Jemimah Rodrigues 22, Richa Ghosh 0) Sutherland is bowling beautifully here, another skedaddles in from off, a hair’s breath from Rodrigues’ bat and stump.

35th over: India 107-5 (Jemimah Rodrigues 20, Richa Ghosh 0) From the Inverarity end, Gardener, like a dancer, twirling from her left toe. Ghosh is taking the time to settle in.

34th over: India 107-5 (Jemimah Rodrigues 20, Ghosh 0) Langer is not impressed by India’s lack of patience – and that’s a gorgeous ball from Sutherland, which snakes back, threads past the clueless Ghosh and yet somehow misses bat and stumps.

WICKET! Deepti c Mooney b Sutherland 7 (India 107- 5)
Deepti is put out of her agony, offering a limp bat with static boots, and Mooney collects.
Share
33rd over: India 107-4 (Jemimah Rodrigues 20, Deepti Sharma 7) Rodrigues looks the more comfortable of the two against Gardner, picks up two with a sweep to backward short leg.
Share
32nd over: India 105-4 (Jemimah Rodrigues 18, Deepti Sharma 7) It’s a grey and damp morning in the northern hemisphere and that Perth sky is calling me. Another cracking over from Sutherland, just one from it.
Share
31st over: India 104-4 (Jemimah Rodrigues 17, Deepti Sharma 7) Deepti giving cat on a hot tin roof vibes. Gardner spins the web, Deepti sweeps unconvincingly, then lunges., almost giving a catch to short leg
Share
30th over: India 102-4 (Jemimah Rodrigues 17, Deepti Sharma 5) Talk from the commentators that Sutherland needs to take more of the bowling load, especially as Perry isn’t bowling. And here she is now. An lbw shout against Rodrigues, but half-hearted at best. Nice bowling though. Another maiden.
Share
29th over: India 102-4 (Jemimah Rodrigues 17, Deepti Sharma 5) Gardner continues from her sole pre-tea over. Deepti has been dismissed five times by spinners so far this series (with one run out) and who knows whether that’s playing on her mind when she drops for a sweep, and misses. A maiden.

Afternoon session
28th over: India 102-4 (Jemimah Rodrigues 17, Deepti Sharma 5) They’re back after refreshments, Annabel Sutherland hurtling in. India work three here and there.

Tea – India 99-4
27th over: India 99-4 (Jemimah Rodrigues 15, Deepti Sharma 4) Ash Gardner with the last over before the break, Rodrigues plays it away without incident. Deepti and Rodrigues, bump gloves but Australia had the best of that first session.
“It was really exciting,” says Hamilton of her first Test wicket. “The support has been the biggest thing, getting my cap from Beth Rooney.”
Time for me to grab a coffee, back shortly.

26th over: India 99-4 (Jemimah Rodrigues 15, Deepti Sharma 4) Rodrigues on drives Hamilton, legs crossed, the ball accelerating as it rolls off the “elevated tabletop of the pitches” down to the rope. A push turns into an inside edge, and then Deepti is bewitched by a beauty that keeps low, and whips in.
Share
25th over: India 94-4 (Jemimah Rodrigues 10, Deepti Sharma 4) Deepti, sugar plums in her head, has a go at Brown, slicing four past gully. Dot, dot, dot, dot, dot to follow.
Share
24th over: India 90-4 (Jemimah Rodrigues 10, Deepti Sharma 0) Hamilton on the prowl for pre-prandial wickets. Rodrigues ploughs a couple through point and then picks up a lucky four through gully.
Share
23rd over: India 84-4 (Jemimah Rodrigues 4, Deepti Sharma 0) Could have been worse for India as Deepti Sharma is hit on the leg first ball. Healy goes upstairs and the ruling is umpire’s call. Harmanpreet’s wicket is huge, she had looked in great touch from the off. Ten minutes or so till lunch.

WICKET! Harmanpreet b Brown 19 (India 84-4)
A beauty from Brown! Hamanpreet, eyes on the prize, goes for another big drive and the ball bounds through the enormous gap between bat and pad and dances into the stumps.
Share
22nd over: India 80-3 (Jemimah Rodrigues 4, Harmanpreet Kaur 15) The cameras have found Lucy Hamilton’s parents in the stands, Stephen and Emma Hamilton. “She was always outside, we’ve got four children, and two brothers challenged Luce everyday in the backyard. She idolised Ellyse Perry and Beth Mooney and has Mooney’s keeping gloves from when she was 12.” Perhaps put off by mum and dad on camera, Hamilton then drops Harmanpreet (on 10) at gully and the ball flies for four. Sutherland trugs on.
