18:37 IST:
Australia getting closer – Take nothing away from the probing lines and lengths Australia bowled, but it wasn’t like the ball was making corners and batting was impossible. Pratika Rawal showed the way with her discipline and along with Sneh Rana ensured that no further damage was done in front of the stumps. India still trail by 20 runs. The hitting conditions should be a little easier when play resumes on Day 3, but as we saw in the first lesson on Day 2, there was still enough on the surface to take advantage of. Can India show the stomach to fight? Sunday, March 8 will most likely be Alyssa Healy’s last day of international cricket. Play on Day 3 will begin at 10:50 IST (5:20 GMT). Then we look forward to your company. Cheers!
