Expertly manoeuvred! Short and on middle, Mandhana goes back and pulls it over square leg. Deep midwicket gives it the chase but only comes second, 13 off the over, 42 off Gardner's three overs. And as long as Mandhana is around, Australia will be hesitant to bring on legspin

Glorious, extra cover, here we come! Gardner flights it up but bowls it wider outside off. Mandhana waits for her to release the ball, charges down by making room and goes over the off side

Harmanpreet punishes the short ball. Short and angling in, 106.5kph, she shows Deol how it's done. Gets on top it it and hits it in front of square on the leg side, splitting two women in the deep to bring up the hundred for India in just the 11th over, their quickest

Slices it high... Harris drops Mandhana! Oh wow. Garth had almost delivered. Length ball slanting away, she looks to go over extra cover again. Gets more height than distance. Harris has here eyes on the ball but is running back, eventually is not in a position to settle under it and grasses it. How costly will it prove?
