- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.3 there's the breakthrough! Taken by mid off. Good length outside off, and she pulls it down the ground. Can't get the elevation and taken by Dhar inside the circle. India will be relieved 103/113.2 falls cheaply!Back of a length outside off, spinning away from the batsman as she walks towards the off side and pull towards leg. She's cramped for room, however, and her slog is taken comfortably by square leg. Played from fairly deep in the crease but Dhar was ready for the ball 106/214.3 big appeal, and given! Trapped in front of off stump. A flat ball on off stump that's too full for the paddle sweep. She misses, as the ball stays low, and hits her front pad. Impact might just have been outside off, but really close. The umpire quick to raise his finger. 121/3Extras8 (b 1, lb 4, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL130/3 (15.3 Overs, RR: 8.38)Fall of wickets: 1-103 (Dane van Niekerk, 12.3 ov), 2-106 (Chloe Tryon, 13.2 ov), 3-121 (Sune Luus, 14.3 ov)
