Watch the best shots from Mooney's century against Pakistan
It's funny how things change. A few hours ago we'd have been saying after this match how some Australian frailties have been exposed. Now it'll be how they've shown exactly why they're the overwhelming favourites.
Ash Gardner sprawls to stop a guide from Sidra Amin and Beth Mooney swoops in to hurl a throw. They're so professional in the field. Elite.

Beautifully bowled by Kim Garth, perfect length. I have been impressed with Garth over the last few years. She just has this ability to set up batters.
Nawaz c Healy b Garth 5 (Pak 29-3)
A beauty from Kim Garth. Sidra Nawaz nicks it behind.
Australia's 76-7 feels a very long time ago now.

Only the Pakistan cricket teams can go from over 90% winning chances to losing the game!
Harshad, Cleethorpes
Be fair, Harshad, England have given it a good go on a few occasions that I can think of...
Target 222
Sidra Nawaz is having quite the day. She took two stumpings as wicketkeeper yesterday and now she eases her first ball for four.

I tend to be honest and Annabel Sutherland immediately said there was a wicket and as a fielder you tend to know if you have caught it. Pakistan are looking in a spot of bother.
Muneeba c Sutherland b Schutt 3 (Pak 24-2)
It's given! I'm surprised by that. Annabel Sutherland was convinced but the replay suggested it was one of those that touched grass through the fingers as the ball was taken.
Those relays are always a bit tricky.
'That looks like the ball might have grounded' - Muneeba out after dubious catch
I think this will be given not out.
Caught at mid-off... I think.
Annabel Sutherland appears confident. Did it carry?
Fran Wilson
Ex-England batter on Test Match Special
Australia won't be too worried at the moment, they are just bowling a bit short. Pakistan are also running square of the wicket.
Target 222
There's still no sign of Australia turning to their spinners, of which they have plenty. I'll be interested to see whether any dew, or the lack of sun beating down on this Colombo pitch, reduces the amount of spin.

Just a little short from Schutt and Amin pounced on the ball to get four.
Muneeba 1, Amin 11
Woooft. Two boundaries for Sidra Amin, the second of which is a dismissive pull through mid-wicket. It's off the great Megan Schutt too who does not look overly pleased.

Knight and Moody are women's cricket's Stokes and Root. Stepping up when their teams need it most. Even so, these collapses must be alarming for Australia and England. When we play each other, it will come down to who blinks first, I reckon. Both have the quality to go all the way, but with other teams making a good go of it, nothing is guaranteed, which is good for the game's appeal.

Target 222
That wicket brings in Sidra Amin - Pakistan's best batter. She scored 81 against India on Sunday.

Not the start that Pakistan would have wanted. Garth didn't look to thrilled but the Aussies looked happy for her.
Shamas c Healy b Garth 5 (Aus 8-1)
There's a spike. It's the inside edge, almost the back, of Sadaf Shamas' bat. Australia have their first wicket.
Image source, Getty ImagesAlyssa Healy is convinced there's a nick here. She has to halt her celebrations to call for the review.
Edged in the gap! Sadaf Shamas gets away with this as the balls zips between wicketkeeper Alyssa Healy and the first slip she has in place. It wasn't really a chance for either of them. Right in the gap.
Target 222
As we mentioned earlier, Pakistan's bowling is their strength. Their batting has struggled for a while.
Muneeba Ali plays out five dots at the end of the over.
