10:03 (IST)

After 49 overs,India Women 315/7 ( Jhulan Goswami 2 , Sneh Rana 1)

Jhulan Goswami, meanwhile, has been sent ahead of Sneh Rana, mainly due to her pinch-hitting skills. Tidy penultimate over for the West Indies as Alleyne concedes just four singles while accounting for Kaur’s wicket in the fourth delivery, getting the India vice-captain caught-behind for 109. Sneh Rana joins Goswami after Kaur's exit.

10:00 (IST)

OUT! Tame end to a superb innings from Kaur as she departs after nicking the ball to the keeper off the toe end of her bat. Was looking to paddle this towards fine leg but didn't quite get in the line of the delivery. She receives a standing applause on her way to the dugout. IND 313/7

09:50 (IST)

Ghosh run out (Matthews/Campbell) 5(10)

09:49 (IST)

CENTURY FOR HARMANPREET KAUR — her fourth in ODIs!

After 45 overs,India Women 282/4 ( Harmanpreet Kaur 95 , Richa Ghosh (W) 3)

Shakera Selman’s about the bowl the 45th over, but pulls out before she can send down the first delivery. She had her head in her hands and looked a bit dizzy on the field. She leaves the field, and Deandra Dottin takes her place. No-ball called for heigh in the third ball, with Harmanpreet on strike for the free hit — and she makes the most of it with a slog sweep over the backward square leg fence to move to 90. She follows it up with a boundary after smacking a full toss towards the same region, this time aided by a fumble by Chedean Nation in the deep. Single to Kaur off the last delivery.

09:32 (IST)

After 44 overs,India Women 268/4 ( Harmanpreet Kaur 83 , Richa Ghosh (W) 2)

A tidy final over from Matthews as she concedes three singles in her final over to sign off with figures of 1/65. Ghosh is taking her time to settle at the crease at the moment, and will be looking to give her senior partner as much strike as possible.

After 43 overs,India Women 265/4 ( Harmanpreet Kaur 81 , Richa Ghosh (W) 1)

Connell into her final over. Mandhana, meanwhile, continues to make merry after crossing the three-figure mark, as she pulls a short-of-length ball behind square to collect her 13th boundary. Mandhana’s stay at the crease finally comes to an end however, as Selman latches on to the ball at deep midwicket despite a slip, with Connell breaking the marathon fourth-wicket stand. Richa Ghosh walks in next, and she gets off the mark right away with a single. Eight runs and a wicket from the over.

09:26 (IST)

OUT! The massive fourth-wicket stand has finally been broken, as Smriti Mandhana has to depart after a magnificent innings! Pulls towards deep midwicket hoping to collect another boundary. Selman's stationed in that direction and manages to latch on despite a slip. IND 262/4

DROPPED! Mandhana looks for another aerial drive in the fifth delivery, but this time the fielder at point is able to get her hand on the ball, though not able to complete the catch. 14 from the over, with 32 coming in the last three.
