Live Score Updates Australia Women vs India Women 1st ODI: Haynes, Healy stitch fifty stand in quick time

10:19 (IST)

After 12 overs, Australia 61/0 (  Alyssa Healy 41 , Rachael Haynes 18)

Healy drives powerfully, but there's a fielder out there, and it's just a double. Dot ball on the second delivery, and Sharma then concedes four singles in a row. Even when they're not scoring boundaries, this Australian pair is keeping the scoreboard ticking along steadily. The longer they spend out there, the more dangerous they become, India need a wicket and they need it quick. 

10:14 (IST)

After 11 overs, Australia 55/0 (  Alyssa Healy 37 , Rachael Haynes 16)

Crucial moment for India in this match, as Poonam Yadav comes into the bowling attack. Yadav is a real impact cricketer, and she has the ability to take wickets whenever she feels like it. Just three singles conceded in her first over.

10:12 (IST)

After 10 overs, Australia 52/0 (  Alyssa Healy 35 , Rachael Haynes 15)

It's spin now, Deepti Sharma gets a go with the ball. Haynes has been quiet and content to let her partner do most of the hitting, but she gets a boundary of her own with a lovely drive past Goswami at mid-off. Four dots and a double to round out the over, six runs off it.

10:09 (IST)

4! Haynes joins in the hitting with a boundary of her own!

10:09 (IST)

After 9 overs, Australia 46/0 (  Alyssa Healy 35 , Rachael Haynes 9)

Pooja Vastrakar out to bowl now. She'll have a bit of pressure on her to perform, especially considering how well her predecessors have bowled. Healy powers a shot through midwicket for two on the second delivery. Alyssa Healy then goes on a rampage, hitting a four, a six and a four. Within the blink of an eye, she's ratcheted up through the gears and Australia's slow start is nigh forgotten.

10:06 (IST)

4! Hit wide of mid-on and it rolls over the boundary rope, this is excellent stuff from Healy

10:05 (IST)

6! Big six over midwicket from Healy!

10:05 (IST)

4! Another boundary for Alyssa Healy! Well in front of square!

10:02 (IST)

After 8 overs, Australia 30/0 (  Alyssa Healy 19 , Rachael Haynes 9)

Wide from Meghna to begin, that didn't really swing like she perhaps thought it would. Five dot balls follow, Meghna's line and length is just gorgeous at the moment. Single on the final ball, after an inside edge from Healy. She was lucky there, that could've gone anywhere!

Living the dream, is Brown

After 7 overs, Australia 28/0 (  Alyssa Healy 18 , Rachael Haynes 9)

Jhulan Goswami's first ball is pulled through midwicket by Haynes, but it's very well fielded and prevented from going for four. Haynes runs three. Four dot balls in a row, and a single to end the over.

09:56 (IST)

After 6 overs, Australia 24/0 (  Alyssa Healy 17 , Rachael Haynes 6)

Meghna has been quite miserly in her first couple of overs, but can she now add a wicket to that? Haynes takes a single off the first ball, after which Meghna bowls back-to-back-to-back dot balls. The Australian pair runs a quick double after Healy sends a shot through midwicket. Healy hits through square leg, and initially, it doesn't look like it has enough juice in it to make it all the way to the boundary rope, but it perseveres, and just about manages to crawl over the line.

09:54 (IST)

4! Healy with another boundary, this one almost stopped short off the boundary rope but just about made it.

09:50 (IST)

After 5 overs, Australia 17/0 (  Alyssa Healy 11 , Rachael Haynes 5)

Right, what can Jhulan Goswami do here? She's already been quite effective with the bat in her brief cameo towards the end of India's innings, but she'll be looking to really shine with the ball. Single and dot off the first two balls, before Healy firmly pulls for four. Three dots to end the over.

09:49 (IST)

4! Alyssa Healy again, and she sends another pull racing towards the boundary, this one over midwicket.

09:47 (IST)

After 4 overs, Australia 12/0 (  Alyssa Healy 7 , Rachael Haynes 4)

Meghna Singh's back from the other end, and her first delivery is a belter, it's full and swinging and it seems to confuse Haynes a bit. Calls for LBW, but the umpire's not having any of it. Good over otherwise, just one run off it. 

09:44 (IST)

After 3 overs, Australia 11/0 (  Alyssa Healy 7 , Rachael Haynes 3)

Goswami in for a second over now, and she starts with a dot. Haynes pulls a shot through midwicket, and the two Australians are quick off the marks to run a double. Leg bye on the next delivery, there were some half-hearted calls for LBW. Healy then hits a cracking boundary with a pull.

09:42 (IST)

4! It's a Healy special, it's a short delivery and it's sent racing to the boundary rope

09:39 (IST)

After 2 overs, Australia 4/0 (  Alyssa Healy 3 , Rachael Haynes 1)

Meghna Singh out to bowl now, and she looks good from the get-go as she bowls three dot balls in a row. Make that 4, it's another delivery with excellent length. Healy does well to hit the fifth through a gap in the covers, but it doesn't have enough on it to reach the boundary rope, two runs off that. Ooh, edge on the final delivery, but doesn't carry to second slip.

09:36 (IST)

After 1 over,Australia 2/0 (  Alyssa Healy 1 , Rachael Haynes 1)

Tidy start to the innings by Goswami, who starts off with the new ball in hand, conceding just two from the first over as both Aussie openers get off the mark.

09:34 (IST)

Rachael Haynes and Alyssa Healy walk out to the centre as Australia begin their chase of the 226-run target. Early wickets the key for the Indians here. Jhulan Goswami to bowl the first over.

09:01 (IST)

After 50 overs,India 225/8 (  Richa Ghosh 32 , Meghna Singh 1)

Molineux bowls the final over. Single off each of the first two balls, before Goswami’s stumped while looking for a heave down the ground, departing for 20. New batter and debutant Meghna blocks the fourth delivery, and gets off the mark with a single off the fifth. Richa, on strike for the last ball, ends the innings with a single.

India set Australia 226 to win the first one-day international after being put in to bat by Meg Lanning. Brown, meanwhile, will be disappointed to have missed out on a five-for after a superb bowling performance today.

08:58 (IST)

OUT! Another stumping off Molineux's bowling as Goswami has to depart after producing a handy knock to 20, helping provide a late flourish to the innings. Molineux breaks the 45-run eighth-wicket stand. IND 223/8

After 49 overs,India 221/7 (  Richa Ghosh 30 , Jhulan 19)

Expensive start for McGrath in the penultimate over of the innings as Jhulan smacks the ball over deep midwicket for the first six of the innings. Does well to keep the scoreboard ticking with a brace and a single in the third and fourth deliveries. Ghosh goes for an inside out heave in the fifth, but is only able to collect a double. Ends the over with a six over long as McGrath ends up leaking 17 from the over.

08:55 (IST)

SIX! Straight as an arrow, as Ghosh collects her first six of the day, and the second of the innings so far. There were two fielders congregating near long on, but they couuld only watch the ball sail above their heads. IND 221/7

08:33 (IST)

After 43 overs,India 178/7 (  Richa Ghosh 6 , Jhulan 0)

Both Ghosh and Rana are going for the shots, but thanks to Australia’s disciplined approach, are unable to find the fence. Three singles are added to the Indian total in this over before Rana’s bowled off Darlington’s bowling in the penultimate ball as the debutant gets her second wicket.

08:31 (IST)

Molineux delivers a huge wicket for the Aussies in the form of Mithali in this over as the India skipper ends up getting stumped for 61 while looking to go downtown over long on. The hard-hitting keeper-batter Richa Ghosh walks out to bat, hoping to chip in with some quick runs to get India as close to the 250-range as possible.

08:12 (IST)

OUT! Molineux gets the key wicket, foxing Mithali to get her stumped for 61. Australia once again seize control with the Indian skipper's exit. IND 166/5
