4th over: India 23-0 (Shafali 6, Mandhana 16) Bell goes too wide outside off to Shafali, and the right-hander flings the bat to pick up four behind point. It’s not an entirely convincing shot, but she’s got her first boundary of the game. Mandhana punches through mid-off and Kate Cross looks like she’s going to pull it back in… until she doesn’t. Four more.
3rd over: India 14-0 (Shafali 1, Mandhana 12) Mandhana unfurls another cracking cover drive for four, with Cross going too full. And then another hit through the covers from the left-hander brings two.
