- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.6 trapped in front, and Anna Harris' finger goes up! Back of a length delivery that starts outside off before boomeranging back into the batter. Gunaratne is trapped on the crease and plays all around it. Gets pinned on the back leg and that seemed pretty adjacent. Gunaratne, though, wants to have another look. This could be a wasted review. Impact on middle stump and Ball Tracking has the ball smashing into leg. Gunaratne has to walk back, and she takes a review along with her! 6/13.2 another massive lbw shout, and Gardner immediately asks Healy to review! Angled in on middle and leg. Athapaththu shapes for the sweep but only swipes at fresh air. Gets rapped on the pads and that looks pretty close. The only question is whether this was sliding down. Clear gap between bat and ball. All eyes on Ball Tracking now. It comes up and...shows the ball would have thundered into the inside of leg stump. Decision overturned, and Athapaththu has to go! Australia over the moon! 6/212.6 the softest of dismissals, and SL lose another key batter! Floated up full and wide outside off, daring Samarawickrama to go big. She seems to do so but attempts the stroke with not great conviction. A half-hearted swing and all she manages is a simple chip back to Molineux. Australia all over Sri Lanka! 56/46.4 plumb with a capital P! Slowed up on a length on middle and off. Dilhari shapes for the sweep but is too early into the stroke. The ball squirms past her bat and then thumps her on the body, right in front. Dilhari has a long chat with her partner before deciding to review, which suggests there was no bat involved. And if there is no bat involved, this could be curtains. UltraEdge and Ball Tracking are taking awfully long to build up, and there is a hush around the ground. It finally comes up and there is a spike. But there is also a gap between bat and ball. Third umpire concludes there is no bat involved, which seems the right call. Ball Tracking has three reds too, and Anna Harris gets another decision right. Dilhari has to go! 25/315.1 well well - a shocking delivery and that gets Wareham the wicket she has been searching for! Properly flighted but it ends up as a friendly full toss. Perera, who advances, has a swipe at it and gets a good piece of it. However, she hits it too close to Gardner at deep mid wicket, who snares a sharp catch over her right shoulder. The height is being checked but because Perera was so far down, and because the ball would have dipped, this wicket might stand. Ball Tracking is going to be used to determine how high the full toss was. And Ball Tracking reckons it was 53cm below the waist (measured at the popping crease), and Perera departs! 65/519.1 straight to short fine leg, and Schutt has another! Slanted in full on middle and off. Seems like a leg-cutter, meaning that Sanjeewani, shaping for the lap, does not have the requisite pace to work with. Chips it straight to Wareham, who makes no mistake whatsoever! 89/619.2 back to back wickets for Megan Schutt! Full just outside off. Kumari gets down low and looks to slog this over cow corner. Gets a piece of it but not enough to clear the fence. Mooney, well inside the deep mid wicket fence, gets both hands under it and snaffles up the chance, inches off the turf! 89/7Extras13 (b 3, lb 3, nb 5, w 2)TOTAL93/7 (20 Overs, RR: 4.65)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Vishmi Gunaratne, 2.6 ov), 2-6 (Chamari Athapaththu, 3.2 ov), 3-25 (Kavisha Dilhari, 6.4 ov), 4-56 (Harshitha Samarawickrama, 12.6 ov), 5-65 (Hasini Perera, 15.1 ov), 6-89 (Anushka Sanjeewani, 19.1 ov), 7-89 (Sugandika Kumari, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.4 Prabodhani cleans up Alyssa Healy! Length ball that starts on middle stump and threatens to shape in. On pitching, though, it holds its line and Healy is opened up completely. She plays down the wrong line and hears the death rattle of off stump soon after. Just the start SL would have wanted! 8/12.1 has Wareham been run out?! Looks like it! Length just outside off. Mooney tips it to cover and calls Wareham through. Wareham, though, is always struggling and Dilhari does brilliantly to swoop in and hit the stumps at the batter's end. Wareham is a couple of inches short. SL have their second and those supporting Sri Lanka at the venue find their voice! 14/25.3 right through Ellyse Perry, and Sugandika Kumari is pumped! Fizzed through on a length on middle and off. Perry plays the trajectory and gets caught on the crease, rather than getting forward to it. The ball pitches and straightens just enough to beat the outside edge and smash into middle and off stump. SL keep chipping away! 35/312.1 goes straight up, and Gardner bites the dust! Looped up deliciously on a length outside off, and Gardner gives in to the temptation. Steps down, swipes across the line and makes a hash of her stroke. Skews it off the leading edge and Samarawickrama, camping under it in the point region, does the rest! 78/4Extras6 (lb 1, w 5)TOTAL94/4 (14.2 Overs, RR: 6.55)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Alyssa Healy, 0.4 ov), 2-14 (Georgia Wareham, 2.1 ov), 3-35 (Ellyse Perry, 5.3 ov), 4-78 (Ashleigh Gardner, 12.1 ov)
