    It's a good shot from Annabel Sutherland. It's not even a bad delivery from Sophie Ecclestone.

  2. Aus 205-3

    Mooney 12, Sutherland 99

    Annabel Sutherland is one away from another Test century.

    Two boundaries in the Sophie Ecclestone over take her to 99, the first of them coming after more England sloppiness in the field as Ryana Macdonald-Gay lets the ball through her legs at cover.

    The next is quality, though, Sutherland going back and hammering the ball to the fence.

    Time for drinks.

  3. Aus 197-3

    Well, Sophie Ecclestone and Ryana Macdonald-Gay are even after dropping catches off each other's bowling in the past two overs.

    Great fortune for Beth Mooney.

    Meanwhile, Annabel Sutherland is making the most of the luck she had earlier, moving into the 90s with a boundary down to third.

    The story of the day has been missed chances for England. Annabel Sutherland is making them pay.

  5. Alex Hartley

    You've got to be taking that. It's very frustrating for England out there at the moment.

  6. dropped catch

    Mooney dropped on 11

    Aus 192-3

    This time it's Sophie Ecclestone's turn to put down a catch.

    Good bowling by Ryana Macdonald-Gay, angling it across Beth Mooney.

    The left-hander slashes at it and the edge goes at a good height to Ecclestone at slip.

    She moves to her left but it bounces out.

  7. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    That was a little bit out of character from Annabel Sutherland.

  8. Aus 191-3

    Mooney 11, Sutherland 86

    Insult to injury for Sophie Ecclestone as, having seen another catch dropped off her bowling, Annabel Sutherland skips down and wallops her down the ground for four.

    Sutherland is within sight of a third Test hundred...

  9. Matthew Mott
    Ex-England and Australia coach on TNT Sports

    That's a regulation catch in the covers, they don't come easier than that really.

    Add another to the tally.

  11. dropped catch

    Mooney dropped on 8

    Aus 186-3

    Sophie Ecclestone must be fuming.

    A fourth chance of the day goes down off her bowling as Beth Mooney pushes the ball uppishly into the covers.

    It should be a fairly straightforward catch but it goes through the hands of Ryana Macdonald-Gay and Mooney gets two.

  12. Aus 184-3

    Lead by 14

    England have finally persuaded the umpires that the ball needs to be changed but the replacement doesn't make a huge difference in this over.

    Just a couple from Nat Sciver-Brunt's latest.

  14. Aus 182-3

    Lead by 12

    Drag down from Sophie Ecclestone to end the over and Beth Mooney punishes it.

    The left-hander is back quickly and pulls firmly through square leg for four.

  15. Aus 176-3

    Lead by 6

    England try to put a bit of pressure on Beth Mooney early in her innings by bringing in a couple of close fielders.

    However, the left-hander is unfazed and pushes through a gap in the covers for two.

    Later in the over, Annabel Sutherland looks to get things moving, hitting over mid-off but without much timing and has to settle for a couple.

    It's just amazing how Sophie Ecclestone can toil away for hours. It's such a consistent action.

  17. Aus 171-3

    Lead by 1

    Sophie Ecclestone rattles through another good over, another maiden.

    Annabel Sutherland tries to use her feet a couple of times but the accuracy of the England spinner means she is still not able to find a gap.

    A bit of aggression by Ecclestone at the end of the over too, hurling the ball back to Amy Jones behind the stumps after Sutherland patted it back to her.

  18. Aus 171-3

    Lead by 1

    Just a single off Nat Sciver-Brunt's over but it brings as big cheer from the home fans at the MCG as it moves Australia into the lead.

    The problem with Australia is that you get one batter out and someone equally as good steps out.

    England needed that one. Watching live, I thought it hit pad first but after watching the replay, I thought it was bat first. It's understandable why Alyssa Healy is upset at that call.
