00:30could have gone either way on that call, but I reckon bowling first is the sensible call.
00:59But the batters under early pressure and hopefully get the breakthrough.
01:06Players making their way out.
01:08It's a great crowd in today with plenty of atmosphere around this ground.
01:12Plenty of wickets on offer and runs.
01:14Batters and bowlers are in the game and there's some quality players in both teams.
01:19So I'm expecting an even contest.
01:21Let's see what happens.
01:29We're about to get underway and already the crowd is up and about.
01:36This is looking to be a great day of cricket.
01:42Couldn't get it through the field.
01:59Cuts that off well in the infield.
02:29It was quick on to that in the infield.
02:59End of the over, none from it.
03:09It's not easy to bat on this pitch by the looks of it, so they have to keep their heads.
03:23A lot of pressure coming to the crease.
03:25Not had the best of weeks leading up to this game.
03:27So I want to show everyone their strength.
03:30Kumari, the left armer, is coming into the attack from the north end.
03:42Massive outside edge.
03:49Time to follow up after such a great delivery.
03:51Pitching it on a length is obviously the way to go.
03:57Doesn't make the infield.
04:27Mandana waited on that and guides it down to third.
04:36The fielder coming around may stop it before the boundary.
04:39Well, that one's for the textbook.
04:41Stands tall on top of the bounce and a lovely flick of the wrist at the end.
04:51I'd like to see them just aim for the top of off now as a bowler.
04:54You've got to make them play on your terms.
05:28Clicks that one simple as you like inside the ring.
05:30Six runs out of there.
05:32India are six for nine.
05:34Well, bowlers have been pinned down at the moment.
05:37Batters need to try and rotate the strike a bit.
05:49Big edge.
05:50He's got to follow up that last delivery.
05:56Found the edge, but no reward to putting pressure on the batter.
06:20I thought that was passing, but a fantastic dive to cut it off.
06:50Tied through the vacant point position, racing to the boundary.
07:05Lovely shot.
07:06Cuts it away and nothing the fielder could do to stop that one.
07:21Do they go full?
07:22Do they go short?
07:23A lot to ponder this delivery after the boundary.
07:32Lovely cover drive, but straight to the extra cover fielder.
07:35Five runs out of there.
07:36India are 11 for none.
07:38This bowler knows how to give the ball a mighty tweak.
07:52Let's see how they go.
08:02Huge edge.
08:09Time to keep the pressure on now.
08:13Great ball, that last one to find the edge.
08:16It's just a case of finding the same spot.
08:21Oh, boy, that's a maximum.
08:23I want to know how far that's gone.
08:25Came right off the meat of the bat.
08:27Well, that's a waste of a delivery.
08:29Absolutely no trouble getting onto it and dispatching it for six.
08:32This delivery just needs to be pitched up on a length too short
08:41and you're going to get punished on this pitch.
08:44Magical shot into the vacant fine leg position.
08:47And I do not think anyone's going to stop that.
08:50That was a solid shot.
08:51Really well played.
08:52Ball was dropped just a little shorter and a great shot off the back foot.
08:56Don't always mind getting hit for runs.
09:03What's important, just focus on getting the next delivery right.
09:08Finds a fielder with that shot.
09:26Oh, that's a wondrous strike straight through the covers.
09:48Threaded it through brilliantly.
09:50All timing on that shot.
09:52End of the over.
09:53India 26 for nine.
09:57They've been working the singles despite the setbacks.
10:07Start of a good rebuild.
10:18Can she come back with a dot ball?
10:20No.
10:25Hedged it.
