India Women vs Australia Women Live Score: Some excellent running between the wickets between Deepti and Pooja and a single off the last ball of the 96th takes India's lead to 100. Real uphill struggle for them though to take themselves to a place of clear advantage. Healy now turns back to Ash Gardner, who is bowling her 36th over.

India Women vs Australia Women Live Score: The lead now reaches 88 runs. Cheatle with a length delivery around the hips for the last ball of the 94th, Vastrakar flicks it to fine leg for a four. She reaches 17 in 48, Deepti on 18 off 64.

India Women vs Australia Women Live Score: After a few quite overs, Deepti Sharma and Pooja Vastrakar have helped themselves to a boundary each. India closing in on 300 as the lead reaches 75.

India Women vs Australia Women Live Score: A slog sweep over midwicket and the first four for India post tea. Gardner keeping it tight though. No easy runs here on offer as India W slowly but carefully inching towards that 300.

India Women vs Australia Women Live Score: What a session. It looked as if it'll be India all the way but an eventful last 45 minutes saw Australia win their first session of the match. IND W lost 4 wickets for 14 runs to be placed at 276/7 at tea. Ashleigh Gardner was the star in that session, with her bowling figures now reading 4/69. With a lead of just 57, Deepti Sharma is a big hope for India. Remember, IND W bat last on this rapidly deteriorating surface.

India Women vs Australia Women Live Score: Is that India's last hope? Jemimah Rodrigues tries to crunch a cover drive, but she can’t keep it down and hits the ball straight to Sutherland. Another batter to fall in the 70s, the second after Mandhana. India go 7 down for 274 with only 55 ahead. Australia W a lot chirpier now.

India Women vs Australia Women Live Score: Another ball stays low and it's another LBW. Yastika Bhatia goes for 1. India W have lost three quick wickets and Australia W have turned it around. Indian women's cricket team's batting collapse is nothing new and we're afraid, another one could be unfolding right before our eyes. What a turnaround after the drinks interval 15 minutes ago. Australia finally managing to win a session. From 260/3, IND W have stumbled to 265/6. That's three wickets for 5 runs.

India Women vs Australia Women Live Score: OUCH! The ball stays woefully low and there's nothing much she could do to it. Challenged the umpire's decision with DRS, and as the ball just clips the leg stump as per the ball tracking technology, the umpire’s call stays. Harmanpreet falls for a duck. Right then! Two wickets in three balls and AUS W are right back in it. India’s lead is 45.

India Women vs Australia Women Live Score: Sense of rush from Richa Ghosh and she pays a price. Earlier in the over, she skied the ball as it fell short of Elysse Perry at mid-on. She was quickly to wake herself up with a tap on the helmet but fell three balls later, going for a big shot. Pulled Kim Garth but was in no position as the ball landed in Gardner’s hands at deep square leg. The partnership ends. Australia W must be relieved with that wicket.

India Women vs Australia Women Live Score: A fifty on debut. Richa Ghosh’s stocks continue to climb. Smriti Mandhana, who handed the cap to Richa, is the first one in the dugout to celebrate her young teammate's achievement. Stunning, incredible scenes. Her parents erupt in the stands as well. This is what dreams are made of.

India Women vs Australia Women Live Score: What a start to Test cricket it has been for young Jemimah Rodrigues. Scored a fifty against England last week and now hits a second half-century against Australia. She raises the bat to a cheerful dressing room. Gets there with back-to-back fours. 11 off that last over from Alana King. India W 245/3, lead by 26.

India Women vs Australia Women Live Score: The Indian batters have not shied away from implying the sweep shot. In fact, there have been way too many in the last few overs. Richa Ghosh has led the way but Jemi isn't too far behind. Drills one through mid-wicket for four. India not backing down here. They are in a hurry.

India Women vs Australia Women Live Score: IND W have taken the lead and it comes with a bludgeoning cover drive off the bat of Richa Ghosh off Garder. In the previous over, Richa had exhibited similar brute force to drill a boundary off Tahlia McGrath. This is turning out to be a valuable partnership for India. 76 off 146 and still going strong. IND W 223/3 in 63 overs, lead AUS W by 4 runs.

India Women vs Australia Women Live Score: If Richa ends the previous over with a four, Jemimah begins the next with a four of her own. Tahlia McGrath drops a full too on Rodrigues’ pads and all she has to do it put bat to ball as the ball races through the vacant leg-side field. India out with a purpose here as the 200 comes up.

India Women vs Australia Women Live Score: Five dot balls and a boundary mark the resumption of play after lunch. Richa Ghosh secures her third four as she attempts to attack a short ball outside the off-stump, but an inside edge earns her a four nonetheless. India W are off and running in the second session, with the 200-run mark within reach.

India Women vs Australia Women Live Score: And we resume! The second session underway. India won the first one. Can Australia finally break the trend and make a session theirs? Ashleigh Gardner with the first over post lunch.

India Women vs Australia Women Live Score: Another session won by India – the fourth in a row. With 95 runs scored and 2 wickets taken, India women now stand at 193/3, trailing Australia by just 26 runs. Smriti Mandhana missed out on a century, falling short at 74 due to a run-out, but the partnership between Richa Ghosh and Jemimah Rodrigues, inching towards a half-century, has kept India Women in the game. Join us again in an hour for the second session.

India Women vs Australia Women Live Score: The Smriti Mandhana run out notwithstanding, Richa Ghosh has come out with a positive intent. Three boundaries to her already as she goes to 21 off 43 balls. Jemimah going strong as well with a couple of fours herself to reach 16 off 23 balls.

India Women vs Australia Women Live Score: What is happening to Australia? After those two misfields for fours, this time it's Ellyse Perry who fails to hold on to this straightforward opportunity. Richa Ghosh chips it towards mid-off, and although Perry runs to cover good ground, she spills it. Ghosh survives.
