Deepti Sharma to Sophie Devine, OUT! RUN OUT! Deepti Sharma does sharp work in the field and an equally fantastic effort by Yastika Bhatia behind the sticks. This is a slower one, outside off, Sophie Devine blocks it to short covers. Sophie Devine stands between the stumps as the throw comes back to the keeper. Oh, what has happened there? Deepti Sharma swiftly moves to her left, picks up the ball and flatly underarms the throw towards Yastika Bhatia. Bhatia realises that Devine might be out of the popping crease and whips the bails off in a flash. Devine though, is a bit casual in dragging her back foot behind the line and the umpire sends it upstairs to have a check. The replays show that Sophie Devine's foot was just short of the crease and the big screen displays OUT! That's a gift to the India Women but a big setback for the Kiwis here as Devine departs. They have now slipped from 40/1 to 46/3! Brooke Halliday is the next batter.
