Nadine De Klerk to Anushka Sharma, OUT! CAUGHT! This time, Radha Yadav goes for the catch and gobbles it up. Just as a partnership was developing, Nadine De Klerk has broken through.

One hand comes off the bat handle and she spoons it towards deep cover. Radha runs in off the ropes to take the catch and the ball nearly slipped out off her hands but she managed to cling on close to her body. 18 (20) for Anushka. GG are 34/4, chasing 178.

Nadine De Klerk to Anushka Sharma, Should Radha Yadav have gone for it? Fuller in length, outside off, Sharma extends her hands and swings through the line. She slices it aerially towards deep cover.

She sends down a full inswinger around leg, Ahuja leans across to flick but plays all around it. Off the pads and onto the stumps, and that trademark smile says it all. Bell is in the wickets, Gujarat are 5 for 3, and they are well and truly staring down the barrel.

Sayali Satghare to Sophie Devine, OUT! CAUGHT! Two in the over and RCB have their tails up. Another skiddy length ball on middle, Devine sits back to launch it over mid wicket but fails to middle it.

Sayali Satghare will operate from the other end. A 3-wicket haul in the last game for the right-arm quick against DC.

Lauren Bell to Sophie Devine, A bit of a mishit. Length ball in line of the stumps, Devine pushes it from the inner half of the bat and it rolls away to mid on. A tidy start from Bell, as usual.

Lauren Bell to Sophie Devine, Back of a length, around off, Sophie gets behind the line and pushes it towards the bowler.

Lauren Bell to Sophie Devine, Skiddy one, full and sliding down the leg side, and Sophie will feel she has let that one slip. She shapes to flick, misses completely, and it thuds into the pads. A half-hearted lbw appeal goes up, more in hope than expectation, and fades away just as quickly.

We are all set for Gujarat's batting effort to get underway. Smriti Mandhana leads her troops out to the centre. It will be the left-hand, right-hand combination of Beth Mooney and Sophie Devine to open the innings for the Giants. Lauren Bell will kickstart proceedings with the new ball. Bell to Mooney. Surprisingly, no slip in place. Let's play...

... THE RUN CHASE ...
