India were in a position of strength at 217 for 2 when Punam decided to walk on 36, drawing mixed responses from the cricketing fraternity.There is no DRS (Decision Review System) available for this Test match so Punam could have carried on had she not walked off.Sophie Molineux, who is playing only her second Test for Australia after making her debut in the format in 2019, took 2 wickets for 28 runs from 14 overs while Ashleigh Gardner and Ellyse Perry have bagged one wicket each so far for the hosts.Click here for our site’s complete coverage of the coronavirus pandemic.
