8:15pm All told, it was tidy stuff from England but, yet again, Mooney has risen above it all. England's pursuit of 163 will get under soon, and Gnasher will be back to kick off the chase

Ecclestone to Mooney, 1 run, Struck on the pad attempting a heave to deep midwicket, not out on the field but Knight reviews immediately... but there's a clear inside edge meaning the run taken will stand. Mooney finishes on 94* from 63, Australia on 162 for 5.

2
Smith to Sutherland, 2 runs, High down the ground... and just short of the fielder! Sciver-Brunt just misread that as Sutherland lofted down the ground from a delivery that sat up from a length. Probably did as well as she could have done bu perhaps misread that in the flight?
