    3.1 edged, taken this time! It's all happening. Full outside off, another drive from Wolvaardt, it's a thicker edge and Mooney holds a good one at third slip 5/2
    1.4 straight up and out! Terrific bowling from Brown. Bosch given a working over the by the extra bounce. Short of a length at the body, fends it off the shoulder of the bat into the cordon and Healy does the work with the gloves. That was a very old-school WACA dismissal 2/1
    19.3 edged and pouched at second slip! 113kph, fuller length again, luring the drive, Luus takes the bait, gets a thick edge, Molineux takes the catch as casually as you like at shoulder height 41/5
    15.5 huge appeal for lbw given not out. Australia review. This nipped back past the inside edge and hit the back leg in front of off. Height is the only query. No bat involved. Smashing the top of middle! Three reds. Brits is out. Australia have a third. Great delivery from Sutherland, nipping back off the seam 33/3
    15.6 Chopped on! Sutherland on a hat-trick! Full again, nipping back off the seam, Tucker plays back to the wrong length, defends down the wrong line, it comes off the inside edge and splays middle and leg! 33/4
    23.2 drilled straight to mid-off! Good catch by Perry. Full and wide of off, Tryon pins the ears back and smokes a drive straight at Perry at waist height and it's neatly held 50/8
    20.2 sharp catch from Mooney at third slip! Short and wide, there to be hammered through point, she cuts hard but gets a thick edge and Mooney takes it well above her head 46/6
    22.4 given caught behind! Jafta has reviewed. Back of a length, well wide of off, she tries to cut and there is a faint noise as the ball passes the bat. The umpire thought it was a nick. Ultraedge is showing a spike as the ball is next to the bat. Decision remains out. South Africa lose a review 50/7
    25.5 is this a catch? Australia celebrate. Full outside off, spoons a drive in the air and it's taken at mid-off. Batter not going. TV umpire checks for a bump ball. Looks like it's straight off the toe and in the air. Yep, that's clearly out 57/9

    0.6 taken at third slip! Klaas strikes. Very full, wide outside off, and it's jabbed off the toe end as Litchfield reaches out for it. Sharp catch. Maiden Test wicket for Klaas at the end of a good over 6/1
    34.3 edged, taken at slip! There won't be a century for Mooney. Back of a length, width outside off, looking to force it away, gets a thick edge and well taken by the wide slip 167/4
    4.1 caught behind! Perry lured to drive and gets a thin edge! Full, wobbling wide of off, Perry drives hard and nicks it and it's an easy catch for the keeper Jafta. 12/2
    4.5 another loose drive! Another edge taken by Jafta! Full outswinger, tempting the drive, she thrashes at it on the up and nicks it, Jafta stretches to her right and pouches it 12/3
    54.3 falls for 99! Healy can't believe it! Tossed up on off, she tries to drive to long-on, it slides on straight and she plays for turn and slices a thick leading edge back to the bowler and Tucker takes the catch! 249/5
    121.4 Sutherland falls short of Perry's record! She tries to scoop over the keeper but gets undone by the bounce and gets a top edge that pops straight up and is easily caught by slip! 541/8
    93.5 given lbw! Gardner reviews. Looks like it's in hope rather than any confidence that this was an incorrect decision. Looks plumb. Good length, nipping a though, Gardner is caught on the crease playing the wrong line. It hits high on the back pad. Ball tracking projection has it smashing the top of middle. Three reds. Australia lose a review and Gardner falls for 65 393/6

    7.5 caught behind! A jaffa! Wide of the crease, angled into off, Wolvaardt has to play but plays down the wrong line as it nips away and scratches the outside edge. Easy catch for Healy. Not much Wolvaardt could do beyond hope to miss that 13/3
    0.6 edged and pouched by Molineux at third! A pair for Bosch. Brutal game. Lovely full outswinger, Bosch should not have played at this, she drives on the up, thick edge flies to Molineux and she takes it with ease above her head 1/1
    6.4 edged and this is held at first slip! Litchfield takes it. Garth relieved. Another superb outswinger, inviting the drive, Luus takes it on, gets a thick edge and it floats to Litchfield at first slip at waist height. 9/2
    48.2 has this carried?! Litchfield claims it at second slip. Great grab, if so. Short outside off, Brits fends at it and gets the edge. Litchfield is stood close at second. First instinct is that fingers are under this, but it's tight. This is a tricky one for the third umpire. The images aren't clear. Rules fingers under the ball. She's gone! 109/4

    94.4 bowled! Cracking delivery! Good length, seam up, it jags in sharply off the seam and surprises Tryon, beats the inside edge, brushes the back thigh and crashes into middle and leg 213/8
    74.3 taken at slip! Sharp take from Sutherland. Good length, tossed up, she leans out to defend but not quite to the pitch, plays for spin but it slides on and catches the edge and Sutherland holds it well reacting to her left 160/6
    85.3 dragged on! She's earned that. Another full delivery that shapes back, Jafta reaches out for it and gets an inside edge into the stumps 181/7
    96.3 caught behind! 108kph, short ball wide of off, she tries to uppercut and gets a thin nick through to Healy. Sutherland has five wickets for the match now to go with her 210 214/9
