- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 gone. Wicket off just the second ball. Poor shot. Slightly flatter outside off, Mendis looking for a big hit doesn't time her expansive shot at all. The heave finds mid-on. Aus strike very early, SL in early pressure 0/113.4 bowled. Good innings ends. A very flat and full delivery down leg, Atapattu looks for a flick to the leg side but maybe a bit too tired, and so the bat comes down way too late. Hits the pad and then deflects onto off and middle stump 93/410.3 that fortune has finally ended. And, Australia are pumped. A big wicket this. Shortish outside off, Manodara goes back for a short-arm jab to the leg side but gets a thin edge onto the leg stump. 75/213 Healy thinks she has her woman. Beautiful delivery, slowed up just enough to extract a lot of turn on the legbreak. Rips past the outside edge and Healy whips off the bails. Looks as if the foot is on the line but is there a smidgen behind behind. Is there too much doubt? The third umpire is looking at more than a handful of replays. And he calls it out. Could have gone either way but there didn't look like there was anything behind the crease. 89/317.2 gone, fantastic fielding from Mooney at mid-on. Slogged away to mid-on with an angled bat and Eshani labours through for the run. But a clean pick-up and bang on target at the non-strikers end. Out by a foot or more 108/519.4 another wicket. Healy with another awesome piece of wicket-keeping. Quality, quality stuff. A very full yorker down leg and the ball goes trough bat and pad, Healy smartly moves around and collects a very tough take. And then whips off the bails. 121/719.3 another good catch. This time Villani, running around from mid-off takes a quality take. Slow on off, spooned up in the air with awful timing. Villani keeps her eyes on the ball throughout her run and takes it easily. Well done. 121/620 speared in the blockhole on off with very slow pace. Squeezed towards square leg for one, coming back for the second, but they weren't really. Run out by a mile. 123/7Extras6 (lb 1, w 5)TOTAL123/8 (20 Overs, RR: 6.15)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Yasoda Mendis, 0.2 ov), 2-75 (Dilani Manodara, 10.3 ov), 3-89 (Anushka Sanjeewani, 12.6 ov), 4-93 (Chamari Athapaththu, 13.4 ov), 5-108 (Oshadi Ranasinghe, 17.2 ov), 6-121 (Prasadani Weerakkody, 19.3 ov), 7-121 (Eshani Lokusuriyage, 19.4 ov), 8-123 (Nipuni Hansika, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.3 gone this time. Healy looking for another big shot, probably looking to use the Powerplay. Gets close to the pitch but plays across the line instead of straight. The ball creeps through a thin gap between bat and pad to hit the leg stump. 27/1Extras4 (w 4)TOTAL125/1 (17.4 Overs, RR: 7.07)Fall of wickets: 1-27 (Alyssa Healy, 4.3 ov)
