A few balls later Alyssa Healy chips over cover for four more. The Australian opener moves past 1,000 runs in ICC World Cups.

Alyssa Healy moves to 31 off 18, slog-sweeping four more.

Australia need fewer than 30 runs now. They've been super efficient. Pakistan have been sloppy.

We said at the start of this innings that Pakistan cannot afford mistakes and unfortunately that is as simple as it comes. Alyssa Healy gets a life.

No excuses for this one! Alyssa Healy chips one straight to Nashra Sandhu at long-off. She doesn't have to move and the trajectory is a lofty slower one, but Sandhu somehow spills it.

Here's Pakistan's only wicket so far:

Well that's something to cheer for Pakistan as Nashra Sandhu comes into the attack and gets through her set without conceding a boundary.

A few singles take Australia beyond 50.

Sometimes these rogue bowling actions seem to be the most effective.

We have seen Brooke Halliday of New Zealand before and this is not too dissimilar from Omaima Sohail.

There are legs and arms everywhere!

Pakistan make a change in attack again and give the ball to Omaiama Sohail who has a unique, rather staccato bowling action. Ellyse Perry blocks her first delivery to figure her out before punching a pull shot into a gap for four more.

Australia are bossing it at the end of the powerplay. More than halfway there.

Beth Mooney set a platform for Australia before chipping one straight to a fielder:

Alyssa Healy got Australia's boundary count going at the very end of the second over:

Here's a replay of Pakistan's final wicket:

Out comes Ellyse Perry for Australia. She finds her touch with four blocks and then loops a single down the ground.

Beth Mooney trying to continue where she left off in the last over.

She was so strong on the off-side, but Pakistan have put someone on the off-side.

Mooney tries to take on mid-on, but she's not go the elevation.

The worm doesn't look good for Pakistan...

Sadaf Shamas can't find her line and sends over a wide. I imagine she's just trying to hide the ball from Alyssa Healy.

The Australia opener, and her team to be fair, are cruising.

I am questioning what field Sadaf Shamas has got here. It's either a poor field or poor execution.

Short again and a player of Alyssa Healy's quality is able to pick a gap.

Sadaf Shamas is chucked the ball but she also starts with a short one which Alyssa Healy sweeps to the ropes.

Two balls later and she pulls with maximum power for another four.

So how did we get here? Well, after a brilliant start with the ball, Ashleigh Gardner cleaned up for Australia in the penultimate over, taking three wickets for three runs...
