Australia opener Beth Mooney, who was speaking to the commentators on microphone almost immediately after the incident said she was unsure whether Raut had got a bat to it. “No way,” said Mooney when asked whether she would have walked like that. “Don't know. The umpire said not out,” she said. Former India wicketkeeper-batter Saba Karim said it was a strange call. “It was very strange to be honest. There is no DRS,” he said on Sony Sports Network. “I hope Raut doesn't regret it now,” said former India women's cricketer Nooshin Al Khadeer. Meanwhile, Smriti Mandhana shattered a few records en route to slamming a magnificent maiden Test century as India progressed to 231/3 at the dinner break.The 25-year-old Mandhana became the first Indian woman to hit a century in day-night Tests and also the first from the country to reach three figures in the game's traditional format on the Australian soil. Mandhana made 127 off 216 balls with the help of 22 boundaries and a six at the Carrara Oval, and added an Indian record of 102 runs in Australia for the second wicket with Punam Raut (36), continuing the good work after putting on 93 with Shafali Verma on a rain-marred opening day.She brought her century with a short-arm pull shot off Ellysse Perry in the 52nd over.Mandhana wouldn't have added to her overnight score of 80 in the second over of Day 2 but Perry overstepped. Replays showed that the catch too might have been debatable.The India opener, however, overcame the early jitters and went about her business in a professional manner while playing some lovely shots, including a magnificent straight drive off Annabel Sutherland.She looked set for more but was caught at short mid-off off the bowling Ash Gardner, after playing an uppish drive.Skipper Mithali Raj (15 batting) though got into the job straightaway, sweeping and driving Gardner for fours.Unbelievable scenes 😨
