What did just happen? Did the ball hit the stumps... the bails are in place though. Yastika Bhatia survives and plays an excellent shot for a four very next delivery. The first over of the day 3 is done, not without a bit of drama.

There should not be much pressure on the Indian batters; right now it is all about getting to personal milestones for them. Mandhana is on 69 while Yastika has batted well and is on 39.

Two days are still left in the match and Team India lead by 269. They have surpassed the safe score.. But what should be the target they should be looking to set? 350-400? In short, all the batters will have to bat quick and give enough overs to bundle out the English.
