SA 33-0 (7 Ovs) vs India 298-7 | SCORECARD

Kranti Gaud continues, and South Africa's openers are beginning to find their rhythm. Laura Wolvaardt drives elegantly through cover for a boundary, then flicks one toward square leg for a single. Tazmin Brits follows with a neat flick toward backward square leg, and Laura adds a couple more to close out the over. Eight runs from it - after 6 overs, South Africa are 26 for 0.

Renuka Singh continues from the other end. Tazmin defends the first few deliveries before freeing her arms - and there it goes! A towering six, the first of South Africa's innings. She defends a couple and then nudges one to extra cover for a single. A dot to finish the over. Seven runs came off it, and after 7 overs, South Africa are 33 for 0.

The SA openers are settling in nicely, and with the surface easing up, India will be desperate for an early breakthrough.
