Watch the best shots from Mooney's century against Pakistan
Mooney c Shamas b Fatima 109 (Aus 221-9)
Caught in the covers off the last ball but what an innings from Beth Mooney.
Australia were in serious trouble at 76-7 but Mooney used all of her experience, kept her composure and guided her side to a total that they'll be confident of defending.
Pakistan can be proud of how they started but they will be frustrated by the way in which they let such a good position slip.

Then gives herself room to cut the next ball through point for four more.
Superb from Australia. The partnership between Mooney and Alana King for the ninth wicket is up to 106 with a ball left in the innings.
Aus 212-8
Six more and that's fifty for Alana King!
This pulled is pulled behind square and just carries over the rope to take the Australia number 10 to a 48-ball half-century - a first in international cricket for King.
Not many (any?) other sides in the women's game have a batter capable of doing this coming in at 10...
King hits back-to-back sixes to reach half-century against Pakistan
Alana King goes big again!
In the slot from Fatima Sana and King swings it high over cow corner for six - that cleared the ropes by a long way.

'Beautiful shot' - Mooney hits Diana for four
What a player Beth Mooney is.
Chris
Mooney 101, King 38
No more boundaries in the over but Australia are up to 200 as Alana King hits out to deep mid-wicket for a single.
This has not gone to plan for Pakistan since reducing Australia to 76-7.
Yep, here come the big shots!
Banged in short by Diana Baig and Alana King swings the ball away over the leg side for the first maximum of the day.
Short again and this one is flayed away for four by King.
I'd maybe give up on the short ball play, Diana...

Unbelievable innings. It's been a boring innings but a successful one in terms of she has just taken the easy options.
Two overs to go and after singles from every ball of that Fatima Sana over, Australia might try for the big finish now.
Aus 186-8
That's the century for Beth Mooney!
What a knock from the Australia left-hander. She has taken her side out of trouble and into a position from which they will be huge favourites.
A fifth ODI hundred and it comes up from 110 balls. Calm and composed throughout.
'What an innings' - Mooney reaches century against Pakistan
Beth Mooney clips the ball leg side and more good running means she gets back for three.
That takes her to 97 and Alana King pushes two from the last ball of the over so Mooney will be on strike with a fifth ODI century within touching distance.

Four more! Over-adjustment from Baig - this one is wide of off and Mooney carves it away through backward point on the cut.
The partnership is now up to 61...
Lovely bowling from Sadia Iqbal but it is not great news for Pakistan, as they look ahead to the chase, that a couple of balls popped up off a length in that over.
It doesn't matter if you bowl floaty half-volleys, though. A 'hit me' ball and Alana King drives crisply through the covers for four.

I guess this has been the theme of the day with the ball turning a lot!
Aus 163-8
Missing leg.
It looked that way on first viewing and ball-tracking confirms as much.
Beth Mooney, on 85, gets a reprieve.
Aus 163-8
Beth Mooney has been given out lbw off Sadia Iqbal but she reviews immediately.
Is it doing too much?
Beth Mooney has batted brilliantly and is closing in on a vital century for Australia.
But even she can do nothing with the first ball of Diana Baig's over. Round the wicket, swinging in to the left-hander then nipping away a touch off the seam to beat the bat. Jaffa.
Four from the over and just five overs left in the innings. It didn't look like we'd get this far when Australia were 76-7.
Image source, gettGiven Australia have already passed 150, that doesn't sound like good news for Pakistan, Fran...
That Sadia Iqbal manages to get a couple to really turn and bounce is suddenly not great news for them either.
Fran Wilson
Ex-England batter on Test Match Special
We think anything above 150-plus will make it a difficult run chase.
Top shot!
Overpitched from Diana Baig and Beth Mooney drills the ball through the overs for four.
Australia are past 150 and will now have eyes on getting somewhere close to 200 - and WinViz has them as big favourites.
Pakistan at 91% feels a long time ago now.
