Shikha Pandey to Annabel Sutherland, OUT! STUMPED! Australia lose their seventh wicket and this time it is Shikha Pandey who has struck. Length delivery on off, Sutherland looks to come down the track and strike it over the bowler but misses the ball completely. The ball goes towards Bhatia who collects the ball and whips the bails off in a flash to send Sutherland packing. The match is surely tilted towards India now and Australia have shot themselves in the foot after a good start.

Poonam Yadav to Jess Jonassen, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Another one bites the dust and once again it is Poonam Yadav who is running through this Australian batting order. Another ball which is slower through the air and just outside off, Jonassen looks to pull but the ball takes a thin under edge and goes behind. Bhatia behind the wickets makes no mistake this time. The Indians are delighted and the Australians are bleeding here.

Poonam Yadav to Ellyse Perry, OUT! BOWLED! Two in two and it is the mighty wicket of Perry. Poonam Yadav is on fire here! What a ball to knock over the best batter going around the world. Yadav once gives this ball a lot of air. She lands it on middle and leg, Perry comes down the track and looks to push at it but is way early in the shot. It is a googly and Perry misses and the ball goes behind to hit the leg pole. Poonam celebrates and she is on a hat-trick now.

Poonam Yadav to Rachael Haynes, OUT! STUMPED! Yadav strikes again and it is once again the flighted delivery that strikes gold for Poonam. Excellent bowling from her. Poonam bowls this ball just outside off, Haynes charges down the track and looks to force the ball towards the off side but the ball turns away from her. It goes low to the keeper, Bhatia, who does well to bend down and whip the bails off in a flash. India are right back in this game.

Poonam Yadav to Alyssa Healy, OUT! CAUGHT! Fifty and gone! Brilliant from Poonam. She deceives Healy with the flight of the ball here. A tossed up ball around off, Healy comes down the track and looks to loft it but because of the slowness of the delivery, ends up chipping it back to the bowler. Poonam moves a little to her right and pouches it with ease. A huge wicket for India and two new batters will be at the crease now. Can India drag it back from here?

Poonam Yadav to Alyssa Healy, SIX! FIFTY FOR HEALY. Excellent innings from her so far. She gets there as Poonam offers her a gift.

Rajeshwari Gayakwad to Meg Lanning, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Gayakwad strikes and sends the Aussie skipper packing. Gayakwad bowls a loopy ball around off, Lanning comes down the track but the ball pitches and turns away. Bhatia collects the ball and tries to whip the bails off but she misses. However, she appeals for a caught behind. The umpire takes her time and then raises her finger. Lanning does not wait then and starts walking. Brilliant delivery from Gayakwad as she beats Lanning with the flight on the delivery. A lucky break for Bhatia though one can say as she missed an easy stumping.
