    Ghosh b Fatima Sana 3 (Ind 168-6)

    Bowled!

    Fatima Sana ends Richa Ghosh's swift innings, breaking the stumps after the India batter went for another big shot.

    She walks off with 34 off 17 balls.

    Five wides. This could be carnage.

  4. Ind 168-5

    Oh dear.

    Fatima Sana sends a big wide down the leg side that runs away to the boundary.

    Another wide follows - she can't berate anyone as captain when she's the bowler!

    On the third go at the over's fourth delivery, Richa Ghosh adds two in the off side.

  5. Ind 160-5

    Four more for Richa Ghosh!

    She sweeps Fatima Sana through fine leg for fifth four.

    "Richa, Richa!" shout the crowd.

    India have the chance to turn this into a really explosive total now.

  7. Ind 155-5

    That's the over India needed - 23 runs from it!

    Richa Ghosh takes Tasmia Rubab apart, slicing four through third to bring up India's 150, then hitting her fourth consecutive boundary past long-on.

    18 runs off the over for her, Tasmia finishes with figures of 1-41.

    This is the kind of entertainment Richa Ghosh is getting a reputation for.

    Ind 147-5

    This is what Richa Ghosh can do!

    She backs away and lifts Tasmia Rubab over the covers for four, then lifts the ball high out to long-on.

    Fatima Sana back pedals onto the rope, but the ball clears her leap.

  10. Annesha Ghosh
    India cricket journalist on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Deepti Sharma and Richa Ghosh are building a crucial partnership now.

  11. Ind 136-5

    There's that boundary.

    Deepti Sharma pulls left-arm seamer Tasmia Rubab over her shoulder for four.

  12. Aatif Nawaz
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    In a game like this, you've done very well if you can go at close to a run-a-ball as a bowler.

  13. Ind 132-5

    Another over without a boundary.

    Nashra Sandhu finishes with figures of 0-25, conceding just three runs off her final over.

    Top work from the spinner.

  14. How's stat?!

    In women's T20s in the last two years, only one batter, who has played more than 10 matches, has a higher boundary percentage than Richa Ghosh's 25.24% - Papua New Guinea's Mairi Tom (28.57%).

  15. Annesha Ghosh

    Richa Ghosh's power-hitting is going to play a big role in India's success in this tournament.

  16. Ind 129-5

    Out comes the powerful Deepti Sharma.

    She can't breach the ropes off the remainder of Fatima Sana's over, with each batter hitting a two as Pakistan fielders do some good work in the deep.

    India have struck one boundary in the 19 balls since Smriti Mandhana's dismissal.

  17. Aatif Nawaz
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Harmanpreet got a good connection, but she couldn't have picked out the fielder much better.

    But that could work out quite well for India, it opens the door for someone else to come out and play some big shots.

    WICKET

    Harmanpreet c Parvaiz b Fatima 36 (Ind 123-5)

    Taken cleanly in the deep!

    Harmanpreet Kaur lifts opposite number Fatima Sana out to deep square and Natalia Parvaiz sets herself well and takes the catch on ropes.

    The India captain had played junior partner to Smriti Mandhana, but hasn't been able to take advantage of her own platform as India look to accelerate in the final quarter of the innings.

  19. Ind 122-4

    A decent over by Nashra Sandhu, just five runs from it.

    That includes a pair of twos from Harmanpreet Kaur - the first could have been extended for three had the India batters been alert to an overthrow.

    The second features some excellent diving fielding at mid-wicket to stop a four.

  20. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    In the match-day programme, Richa Ghosh is described as 'a muscular batter who hits the gym almost as hard as she hits the ball'.
