Australia retain Women's Ashes at earliest opportunity - report
England's last seven wickets fall for just 45 runs
Dunkley's 59 off 30 balls gives England brief hope
Australia pile up 198-7
Mooney hits 75 off 51 after being dropped on 16
First of three T20s, Sydney
Time for Mooney to carry on upping her boundary count.
She pulls Lauren Bell's first ball past Ecclestone at short fine-leg for four, then lifts the following delivery over the ropes at backward square for back-to-back fours.
That's four successive boundaries for Australia.
McGrath accelerates!
She lashes Glenn past third for a rather ugly four, then lofts the England spinner over mid-wicket for an over-closing six.
She's on 18 from six.
Well, after Bouchier seems OK to continue after some work with the physio - I thought that was the end of her evening.
McGrath manages to chip the next ball in the vague direction of Bouchier but the England opener decides against attempting a diving catch - I don't think she would have made it anyway.
Prior to that injury McGrath had swept Glenn for four through backward square.

This is not good news. Maia Bouchier lands on her shoulder badly.
It's never a good sign when your fielder doesn't move.
This looks painful for Maia Bouchier.
She goes to gather a McGrath drive down at long-on and hits the turf awkwardly, and she looks in significant discomfort.
On comes the physio.
Those wickets have really slowed down Australia...

England are chipping away here. Annabel Sutherland likes to take the game on, she gives opportunities and just whipped into mid-wicket.
It was a good catch from Danni Wyatt-Hodge, she very rarely drops anything in the field.
Stand-in captain Tahlia McGrath gets off the mark straight away, knocking the ball to short fine leg for a single.
Dean finishes with figures of 1-38, with 17 of those runs coming from her first over.
Sutherland c Wyatt b Dean 3 (Aus 121-4)
Dean gets in on the wickets!
Sutherland's innings lasts just four balls as she lofts the ball to Danni Wyatt-Hodge at deep mid-wicket.
The England fielder has to take a few steps in from the boundary and takes the catch comfortably.

It's minus eight Celsius here in Transylvania. Cricket not improving my mood either. Come on England - you can do this!

Amy Jones was so quick, great work from her. It was the change of field for Sophie Ecclestone, not having deep square leg.
Ellyse Perry comes down the wicket, tries to slog sweep the ball and gets herself in a tangle. Great bowling from Ecclestone.

Australia's record when Beth Mooney scores 50+ in T20 internationals:
21 wins
Two losses
Two ties (lost both Super Overs)
Annabel Sutherland is next up for Australia and she takes two from Ecclestone's final delivery with a knock into the covers.
Perry st Jones b Ecclestone 7 (Aus 114-3)
Nothing behind the line!
Perry had advanced way down the pitch to attempt a big heave, but got nothing on the ball and Jones removed the bails.
The Australia batter did well to reach her foot back as far as she did - but not far enough, just tickling the line and not reaching her crease.
Jones stumps Perry
Now, has Amy Jones stumped Ellyse Perry off Sophie Ecclestone?
We go to the third umpire...

Image source, Getty ImagesEngland's spinners have been expensive today. The spin unit of this side is usually so consistent, it often quietens teams down.
Sophie Ecclestone to Ellyse Perry is a good match up now and England want to try and get a short mid-wicket in.

Beth Mooney has scored 22 off 14 coming down the track so far today, hitting three boundaries and facing only three dots.
Aus 111-2
Back comes Sarah Glenn and she starts with a full toss - Mooney doesn't need asking twice and she smacks it down the ground for four.
The Australia opener then turns a single off her pads from the penultimate delivery of the over to bring up her fifty from 37 balls.
It's been a fine innings, featuring seven fours thus far.
Remember, if Australia win today - as CricViz is predicting they probably will - they will retain the Ashes...
