Mooney charges and Ecclestone fires one out wide on the off-side. Luckily for Australia, Mooney gets some bat on it.

50 partnership is up for Australia with a single. Remarkably, it’s only their second of the series.

A couple singles for the Aussies to round out the over.

A single from Mooney to begin the over. She opens the face and runs a good length ball behind point.

Gardner then glances one in front of square for another run.

Short arm jab from Gardner deep into the on-side, it’s aerial but well short of the fielder. Two more to the total and that’s over.

Outside edge from Gardner! But it’s a thick one. The ball squirts over the infield on the off-side and Ash picks up a couple.

A good looking drive from Gardner is then parried at extra cover and it’s another two.

High ball! Gardner smashes the ball – it looks like it goes straight up but ends up having a bit of distance on it as well. It falls just out of reach of the fielder and metres from the boundary. Two more to the total.

Mooney and Gardner were proactive against the spin of Dean and Ecclestone, and perhaps because of that, pace is back in the form of Lauren Filer.

Shot! Over-pitched from Filer and Mooney crunches it through the covers for four.

Mooney then advances and flicks it aerially into the on-side for a couple.

Good running from the Aussie pair – Mooney rides a short-ish one and they scamper through for a single.

Another good over for the hosts.

Ash Gardner struck a sweet six during Ecclestone’s last over, how will she approach this one?

Ecclestone begins the over with two probing dots.

Gardner is pushing to long-on for a single.

Mooney is defending the final ball and it’s a good over from Ecclestone – just the single from it.

Shot! Mooney into the action now. She shuffles down the wicket and hits a full-ish ball straight back over Dean’s head for four.

Another boundary! Again, Mooney runs at Dean and punches a full toss down the ground for four more. Controlled.

Stifled appeal! Down leg side, Mooney is sweeping but missing everything….or is she? England wonder if she’s got a little feather on it, but it’s called a wide and the tourists are out of reviews.

Australia’s best over of the innings so far – 11 from it.

The world’s top ranked bowler gets thrown the ball for the first time today.

Gardner is watchful and punting the ball back to Ecclestone for the first couple balls of the over.

SIX! A wonderful shot from Ash Gardner. She comes down the wicket and just eases it for six over cow corner. Sweetly timed.

Gardner isn’t letting Ecclestone settle here and gets a scampered couple and it’s a dot ball to finish the over.

A glance to the on-side and Gardner rotates the strike before Mooney hits it to mid-off and gets a scampered single.

Four! Poor ball from Charlie Dean – it’s a low full toss and Gardner hits it back over the bowler’s head for a boundary.

Another poor ball to finish the over – down leg and Mooney sweeps but it’s straight to short fine leg and it’s no run.

The world’s best all-rounder continues, with Heather Knight up to the stumps.

Gardner rotates the strike with a glance to fine leg and Mooney plays a good looking cover drive for no runs.

Mooney’s trying to keep the scoreboard moving but it’s three more dots to finish the over.

You feel like Sophie Ecclestone mustn’t be far off here.

Gardner is off the mark with a push to the on side.

And that’s over – and a successful one for England.

If they weren’t before, Australia is definitely in a bit of strife here.

Second ball after drinks!

Ash Gardner is out to the middle after Annabel Sutherland is dismissed, caught down low at mid-off.

A good catch from Sophie Ecclestone and Charlie Dean has her first of the day.

Not the start Australia would’ve wanted.

Batting looks pretty difficult out there, and England has made the most of some tentative play from the Australians.

Litchfield out strangled down leg, Perry hit one straight to short fine leg and Healy was caught on the boundary.

Charlie Dean to bowl her third…

Sutherland taking a good look at the medium pacer early.

FOUR! Remarkable timing from Sutherland off her pads. Hardly looked to have hit that but it has pinged off the bat through square leg for four.

Only the boundary from the over, Sciver-Brunt keeping things very tight.

And that’ll be drinks. Henry Hanson will be with you after the break.

FOUR! Didn’t take long for Sutherland to break free. Dean had locked her down for six balls, but with the seventh Sutherland charged and belted her over mid-off for four.

A thick bottom edge from a Sutherland pull shot, got away with one there. She takes the single, before Mooney does likewise.

One more for Sutherland and Dean’s second over ends.

Australia might need to steady the ship for a few overs now. England would be one wicket away from really feeling like it could get through the Aussies here.

Sciver-Brunt is bowling the same ball to the top of Mooney’s off stump, and Mooney is playing the same late cut to backward point over and over again.

That’s a maiden. Some ship-steadying, as we thought.

Some spin for the first time today, could be a good pitch for someone like Charlie Dean.

Mooney gets back and cuts for a single, bringing Annabel Sutherland on strike.

Tight start from Dean, not allowing Sutherland any room to move. Just the one from the over.

This is not an easy pitch for taking the bowler on, but Healy was determined to break the shackles. She timed that shot pretty well off her pads, but misplaced it straight down the throat of Beaumont on the square leg boundary.

Australia three down now, and some big names have been sent packing. England can sense an opportunity.

Going to be a good day for slower balls and changes of pace. The pitch is slow and dry.

FOUR! Healy gets sick of waiting and slogs one over midwicket for four. Risky, but well struck.

SHOT! Mooney gets a full one and belts it through cover for four. Lovely shot.

Misfield from Sciver-Brunt at mid-off allows Mooney to take a single.

Neat from Healy off her pads now into the midwicket gap. Two more to her tally.

One more for the skipper down the ground and another over comes to a close.
