The throw comes in flat and quick at the keeper and Harleen Deol has to put in a dive to get home. However, the throw is a bit high and Christina Coulter Reilly has to hop to collect it. A risky single.

19.1 – OUT! LBW! A huge confident appeal for LBW and the umpire raises the finger instantly! Pratika Rawal has reviewed it and challenges the on-field decision. Angling in from the off-stump line, full and on the leg stump, Pratika Rawal plays it over the line of the ball and it goes very close to the bat to rap her front pad. UltraEdge shows no bat is involved. Ball Tracking comes up and shows three reds. A plumb in front and both the set batters are in the sheds now. Pratika Rawal departs after another impressive stint with the bat. She goes for a brisk 67 off 61. India are 156/2 now.
Jemimah Rodrigues is in at number 4.
