It was clipping leg and Aliya has to go. India are all business - they were certain it was out and had dispersed back to their positions bore confirmation came through.The leg spin of Asha Sobhana reappears to ne worked around for five off the over but there's not a lot of urgency on display at the moment. 100 looks to be optimistic.The seam of Renuka Singh Thakur returns, with keeper Richa Ghosh keeping the batters honest by standing up to the stumps.
Aliya Riaz drives to point get off the mark, and then we see the first boundary for an age when Nida Dar sweeps a full toss down to the triangular sponge thing at fine leg.The bowlers are bowling really well, but I think you can tell where the team are at in the way that they field. They have thrown themselves around, they have been quick off the boundary and firing it in to Richa Ghosh.
She probably felt in her gut that Muneeba Ali needed to get going and would be trying to go down the wicket, so she just tossed it up a little bit slower and wider. Richa Ghosh then did the rest.Muneeba Ali wanders down the track to Shreyanka Patil, but her wild swipe outside off stump misses and Richa Gosh completes a simple stumping.The bowler looks to be in with a shout of doing just that, but a chipped drive from Dar drops frustratingly short of her in the follow through.
Verma does a bit of a mic drop by tossing the ball away, probably directed at her team-mate for that terrible drop just earlier.Asha Sobhana drops one of the easiest chances you'll ever see! Muneeba lifts a sweep, it loops slowly to the fielder but she makes a terrible hash of it.She gives it plenty of air, and Omaima looks uncertain at first but eventually gets off the mark with a nudge to leg.I think this is a really clever piece of bowling from Deepti Sharma.
Sharma just held that pace back. It shows once again what a smart cricketer she is. She is doing the business for India.
