4.45pm The sun is shining bright on the blue of Harmanpreet Kaur and India. That was some batting, she razed her way to 171 off just 115 balls after a slow start. That takes India to 281 for 4 in 42 overs, at least 50 runs above par I think. But these are the world champions they're up against, so they can't quite take it lightly. Australia struggled through the second half of that innings, they had no control, a lack of awareness, inadequate planning. Things can go wrong easily when someone is hitting the ball so well. Chase in about 15-20 minutes.
Harmanpreet Kaur: "I didn't get chance to bat in the whole tournament, wanted to utilise that opportunity. Whatever I was thinking, I utilised. Plan was to watch the ball and hitting the ball. It was the heat of the moment (Deepti Sharma incident), I said sorry to her. We're fine now."
Schutt to finish.

Biggles: "'Under 260-265'? Didn't you mean 280-285?" Apparently.
Kunal: "This is an amazing innings from Harmanpreet! She's had problems running, yet she's going hard and hitting them long! Australia will have their work cut out."
