Good over from Shafali
Shafali Verma, with all that confidence of bowling in the U19 world cup, comes in and bowls a tight over, giving just 3 runs.
PAK: 61/3 (11)
DRINKS BREAK!
Bismah Maroof has ensured that Pakistan keep the scoreboard moving despite losing wickets at regular intervals. India will be happy with their efforts so far, but would love to choke the run flow a bit more.
PAK: 58/3 (10)
Pooja Vastrakar STRIKES!
A good bouncer aimed at the head of the batter by Pooja Vastrakar. Nida Dar tries to pull and the ball settles in wicket-keeper Richa Ghosh's hands. Indians appeal in unison, but the umpire rules it not out.
Harmanpreet and co. decide to go upstairs for a review. There is a spike in ultra-edge as the ball passes Dar's glove. OUT!
PAK: 43/3 (7.3)
India pull Pakistan back
The batters were looking very comfortable in the middle, but Radha Yadav has helped India peg them back with a timely strike.
PAK: 42/2 (7)
MUNEEBA, OUT!
Radha Yadav comes into the attack and delivers straight away. She lures Muneeba Ali to step out with an arm ball. The batter obliges and misses. Richa Ghosh does the rest behind the stumps. STUMPED!
END OF POWERPLAY

Bismah takes on Sharma
Pakistan captain Bismah Maroof takes a liking to Deepti Sharma. Steps out to smash her down the ground for a boundary, before sweeping one to the square-leg fence. Much needed for Pakistan.
