Aus W vs Ind W pink ball Test | Deepti Sharma’s fifty lifts India to 359/7 at dinner on day 3

Resuming at their overnight score of 276/5, Indian batters led by Deepti Sharma made the Australian bowlers toil hard in the first session of day 3

India dug in deep, instead of going for quick runs, to reach 359 for seven at dinner on the third day of the rain-marred day/night women's Test against Australia here on Saturday.

Resuming at their overnight score of 276 for five after rain and lightning had brought a premature end to the second day's play at the Carrara Oval, the Indians scored 83 runs for the loss of Taniya Bhatia and Pooja Vastrakar's wickets in the long first session.

Taniya made 22 off 75 balls, while Vastrakar made 13. At the dinner break, Deepti Sharma was batting on 58.
