5.03pm Overall a pretty solid batting effort from India, but have they left 20 runs out there? Still, 280 feels competitive although Australia have a very strong batting line-up. It's their joint second-highest total against Australia. India's top three all made 50s with Smriti Mandhana looked especially good until being run out. Useful knocks lower order the order from Richa Ghosh, Deepti Sharma and Radha Yadav. Australia used eight bowlers - Annabel Sutherland spent time off the field in the second half of the innings. Maybe a bit surprising that Alana King was used a bit more. Shashwat will be with you for the start of the chase.

Here's some interval reading for you: Jemimah Rodrigues made her women's ODI debut back in 2018, but this will be her first Women's World Cup, having missed out in 2022. In an exclusive chat with Vishal Dikshit, she talks about her journey, and how she is at 80 percent, with the rest not very far away.

Garth to Yadav, OUT

shuffles outside leg stump, then lofts down the ground but can only picked out long-on. Again, pace-off variations working nicely. A useful had from Yadav
