8.25pm So, it goes without saying: England will have to bat really, really well to win this. 8-8 at stake. They have a real challenge on their hands. We've witnessed a special innings from Mooney, who was zen-like as she dismantled the England attack with the kind of precision we've seen from AB de Villiers, with his 360-degree range. Can someone from the English camp produce a heroic knock to overhaul this? Join us shortly to find out.

Beth Mooney, who has hit the most fours in a T20I innings - men or women - huffs and puffs as she walks off but has the energy for a spot interview: "Not sure what the secret to my success is. Just 'see ball, hit ball' I guess. I think the 360-degree thing is something I wanted to bring to my game. With four fielders out now, it's easy to do it. I had never been in the 90s in T20s, so it was a little bizarre. The ball skidded on a little bit, which may help our spinners. Hopefully they can do the job now."

Shrubsole to Mooney, FOUR, backs away and drills this full delivery into the gap at deep extra cover. Tremendous use of the bottom hand. What a knock, what a finish. Every single England player walks up to Mooney to shake her hand. Exhilarating stuff.

Shrubsole to Mooney, FOUR, just wide of point. Opened the bat face to slice this away. Wilson may have got a hand on it but so powerful was it struck that there was no stopping that. Wilson initially looked to jump but then dived late as the ball kept swirlign away

Shrubsole to Mooney, FOUR, over short fine leg. This is turning out to be a masterclass. Too full but she has enough confidence to ramp this away. Steady head is the key

Hazell to Mooney, 1 run, becomes just the second Australian woman after Meg Lanning to score a T20I century. Terrific knock, she's also the fifth overall. Just gently dropped it into the off side and took off for the single. The crowd rises up to applaud, she embraces Perry in a warm hug before soaking in the cheer from the dressing room. All this in front of her home crowd. Does it get better than this?

Hazell to Perry, 2 runs, opens the bat face to steer this quicker delivery past the diving Ecclestone at short third man, Mooney is too tired to take a third. Perry wanted it, just to get her partner on stroke

Ecclestone to Mooney, SIX, Dropped by Brunt, who knocks this ball back over the ropes at deep midwicket. This was hit really well by Mooney, except she picked out the fielder, but the boundary lurking behind her may have played on Brunt's mind. Six more to the score. How costly will that prove to be?
16.4
0
Ecclestone to Mooney, no run, lobs off the pad to the keeper, but this one took its while to settle into Taylor's glove before he whipped the bails. The time the ball was in the air was enough for Mooney to get back. Was initially looking to whip this full delivery.
