Oh, what happened there? An appeal for LBW first but it is turned down. Richa senses a run out chance, but misses her shy at the batting end. India eventually opt for a review for LBW.

OUT! CAUGHT! The spin choke continues from India and another one bites the dust. Very full by Sree, in and around off. Natalia Pervaiz tries to thrash it over the cover region, but she does not get bat under the ball nicely and ends up toe-ending it towards Harmanpreet Kaur at cover.

Under-cutter, around off, going across the batter, Muneeba Ali chips this from the cue end off her bat towards long off. The ball falls just short of Kranti Gaud and the batters run two as a bad bounce takes the ball past her.
