  1. Pakistan review

    Nashra Sandhu is trapped in front first ball from Ashleigh Gardner.

    Sandhu is given out but she immediately reviews, because why not?

    That's very soft and an easy catch for Beth Mooney at midwicket. Pakistan are just faltering away as they're now eight down.

    You feel like all hope has been lost since the partnership of Tuba Hassan and Aliya Riaz was broken.

  3. wicket

    WICKET

    Aroob c Mooney b Gardner 1 (Pak 78-8)

    Two wickets in four balls for Ashleigh Gardner.

    It is an awful shot from Syeda Aroob Shah, who backs away before lobbing the ball straight to Beth Mooney at mid-wicket.

    England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    It's a filthy swipe in the end and it is easy work from Alyssa Healy - she does a good job behind the stumps.

  5. wicket

    WICKET

    Tuba st Healy b Gardner 3 (Pak 76-7)

    Tuba Hassan, keen to mirror Aliya Riaz's aggression, skips down the track but is nowhere near the ball, with the ever-alert Alyssa Healy completing a routine stumping.

  6. Kirstie Gordon
    England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    That's an absolute class shot from Aliya Riaz. That is what you expect to see from a top order batter.

    Riaz has shown the top order how to bat.

    Specifically on this pitch she's had a method and she's used her feet.

  7. Pak 75-6

    That is gorgeous.

    Aliya Riaz is on the move again, dancing down the pitch before playing a lovely in-and-out drive that flies over the covers to the boundary.

    She caught that so sweetly.

  8. Pak 67-6

    Shot! Aliya Riaz dances down the track and clubs a half-volley over mid-wicket to the rope.

    Aliya Riaz is now Pakistan's top scorer, 14 and counting.

    Aliya Riaz hits just the second four of Pakistan's innings

    England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Iram Javed succumbed to the pressure. She got 12 off 25 and Aliya Riaz has nine of 19 - they were not able to rotate the striker enough. The task has become too much.

  10. wicket

    WICKET

    Iram c Wareham b Gardner 12 (Pak 58-6)

    Iram Javed's short but eventful innings comes to an end.

    It is a rather wild swipe into the leg-side but has more height than distance and Georgia Wareham takes a comfortable catch.

    Iram removed for 12 by Gardner

  11. Pak 58-5

    Update on Tayla Vlaeminck - Cricket Australia say she dislocated her shoulder fielding the ball on the boundary in the first over.

    Vlaeminck will continue to be assessed in the next few days.

  12. Kirstie Gordon
    England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Pakistan cannot get it away and that's why Iram Javed is trying to reverse sweep it.

    Pakistan have managed to survive a few overs without losing a wicket, but they've only got two runs coming off the last over from Ash Gardner.

  13. Pak 56-5

    They have ridden their luck a bit but Pakistan have stemmed the loss of wickets.

    Can they have a thrash the final five overs and get up to three figures?

  14. dropped catch

    Iram Javed dropped on 10

    Another very tough catching chance as Iram Javed dances down the track and the ball flicks off the outside edge, wrongfooting Alyssa Healy, with the ball cannoning into her shoulder and looping away.

  15. Watch all five wickets

    Here are the five wickets to fall so far.

    Watch them quickly before another one goes.

    Muneeba falls for seven to a 'great catch' from Litchfield

    Sadaf falls for three to Schutt

    Sutherland traps Sidra Ameen lbw for 12

    Wareham removes Omaima for three

    'Poor batting' - Dar stumped for 10 by Healy

  16. dropped catch

    Aliya Riaz dropped on six

    Another drop, but this was a tough effort.

    Aliya Riaz mistimes a drive off Georgia Wareham and Tahlia McGrath, running back from mid-off, stretches out her right hand but can only get her fingertips on the ball and it lands on the turf.

    It is great work from Phoebe Litchfield. The second time she's had a direct hit tonight.

    It is a good run from Pakistan and a run they need to keep taking as boundaries are rare.

  18. Not out

    Aliya Riaz had just slid her bat in the crease in time.

    Great cricket from both sides though.

  19. Umpire review

    Australia think they may have run out Aliya Riaz.

    Pakistan pushed for a quick single but it was lighting reactions from Phoebe Litchfield, who collects and throws down the stumps in one movement.

  20. Pak 47-5

    Iram Javed takes advantage of that reprieve with a couple of aggressive shots that pierce the covers, with Pakistan running two each time.
