  400 up for India with a single from Deepti. India becomes only the second team in women’s Tests to score 400 runs in a single day! Short from Filer, Deepti goes for a pull but it takes an outside edge and runs towards the boundary!

  IND 310/5 in 63 overs: Harmanpreet suffers freak run out

  Maiden Test FIFTY for Harmanpreet Kaur? Oh, no. Harmanpreet, what have you done? She is run out after attempting to complete a single. Sent back by the cover fielder but her bat is stuck before the crease and she falls on 49. Second time since that freak dismissal in the WC semifinal earlier this year. That’s poor from the Indian captain.
