  1. Aus 84-7

    Sadia Iqbal continues and ends the over with a ripper that finds Kim Garth's outside edge.

    She plays it with very soft hands and the ball drops short of slip, though.

  2. Thanks, Matt.

    I actually did half expect to be taking over with the score at about 83-7 - but admittedly that was before the toss when there was a chance Pakistan would be batting first.

    But this?! No one expected this.

  3. Aus 83-7

    Mooney 37, Garth 3

    Kim Garth is the one Australia who has experience of this. Australia may have never lost to Pakistan but she has from her days playing with Ireland.

    I did not think I would be handing to Sam Drury in this situation.

    This is not what people where expecting this morning but it's a. game of cricket and anything can happen. I think what Mooney has done so well is play back more into her crease.

  5. Aus 80-7

    Mooney 35, Garth 2

    Sadia Iqbal is bowling a little quicker than Shamim and Sandhu and Kim Garth defends. The ball looks a little easier to play at that pace. It's the really slow ones that keep being chipped in the air.

    Yesterday I posted a comment comparing England's batting unfavourably to Australia's. I would like to withdraw it please.

  7. I'm not entirely sure why Pakistan have made a bowling change here. Sadia Iqbal is back.

  8. Even with that not out decision, WinViz has Pakistan at 91%! Incredible...

  9. Aus 80-7

    Interestingly Beth Mooney ran to the boundary edge to get a message from the bench during that review. Does she stick or twist?

  10. Not out

    Kim Garth survives for now.

    It remains 79-7.

  11. There's a spike.

  12. I think there's an inside edge....

  13. Australia review

    Kim Garth is given lbw!

    Nashra Sandhu has a fourth but there's a review...

  14. Aus 79-7

    Pakistan are bottom of the table. They have been beaten by Bangladesh and India already over the past week.

    They have only won three matches at the World Cup ever. Australia are seven-time champions.

  15. There are hands on heads on the Aussie bench. This would be the biggest shock in World Cup history.

    Ex-England batter on Test Match Special

    It is like deja vu and just prodding at the ball and not getting to the pitch. Another soft dismissal. It looks like it's only Beth Mooney that has a plan against this spin.

    WICKET

    Wareham c&b Shamim 0 (Aus 76-7)

    SEVEN! Australia are floundering against the spinners. It's yet another catch just chipped up in the air with the Australia batters unable to time the ball.

    Pakistan's fielders come charging in to celebrate. They really believe.

    'Australia are all over the place!' - Wareham is caught & bowled by Shamim

  18. Aus 75-6

    Mooney 32, Wareham 0

    Georgia Wareham gets a pat on the back from Beth Mooney as she gets to the middle. Wareham can definitely bat but she's the first of the all-rounder's that's probably more of a bowler than batter.

  19. Fran Wilson
    Ex-England batter on Test Match Special

    It was just hesitant and Australia not over the ball. McGrath will be disspointed. They are in trouble.

  20. wicket

    WICKET

    McGrath c Baig b Sandhu 5 (Aus 75-6)

    What is going on?! A really scratchy innings from Tahlia McGrath ends with her chipping a catch to extra cover. It looks like the ball must have stuck in the pitch a bit. She has pushed with hard hands the ball just loops up with it being badly timed.

    McGrath is caught by Baig off the bowling of Sundhu
