    Prabodani's two wickets were two of the best balls I've seen. She's done her job - we'll just have to see if the rest of the team can back her up.

  2. Aus 27-3published at 7 overs

    Prabodhani 4-0-17-2

    What a spell from Udeshika Prabonhani. 2-17 from her four overs, the huge wickets of Healy and Gardner.

  3. Not outpublished at 6.3 overs

    Aus 22-3

    Home, but Australia are having to scrap for every single run.

  4. Umpire reviewpublished at 6.3 overs

    Aus 21-3

    The third umpire will have a look at this, but I think Lanning's dive has got her home.

  5. Aus 19-3published at 6 overs

    Target 123

    Only three from the final over of the powerplay. That required rate is climbing all the time. "Sri Lanka have the advantage," says the man on the PA. That's the lowest powerplay score of the tournament. Incredible.

  6. Aus 16-3published at 5 overs

    Target 123

    Australia need more than seven an over. That is a lot to get. If Australia lose this, and later go out, I would say that is one of the biggest upsets in the history of women's team sport.

  7. Aus 16-3published at 4.4 overs

    Lanning late cuts Prabodhani to third man for four. Much needed. Be careful, though. You don't want one of those to hoop back and castle you. This is a brilliant game. It's been a great start to the tournament.

    That's a terrible review. I've never seen a review like that in my life.

  9. Not outpublished at 4 overs

    Aus 11-3

    There was a huge noise, but Lanning actually hit the keeper's gloves, rather than the ball. You can see why they went for it, but you wonder if they will need that review later on.

    Aus 11-3

    And this would be it! Is Meg Lanning caught behind?

  11. Aus 11-3published at 3.5 overs

    Rachael Haynes joins Meg Lanning. There's a nervy single. The Aussies are all over the place, like they are facing Muralitharan and Vaas in tandem. One more wicket here could be a knockout blow....

    That was another excellent ball. I can't believe what I'm witnessing. Surely not!

    WICKETpublished at 3.2 overs

    Mooney st Sanjeenwani b Siriwardene 6 (Aus 10-3)

    I do not believe what I am seeing. Beth Mooney has wandered past one and is stumped by half the length of the pitch. Australia are 10-3! Sri Lanka are, rightly, going nuts. The hosts are staring down the barrel.

  14. Aus 10-2published at 3 overs

    Target 123

    Meg Lanning, what have you got? Captain's knock required.

    That was almost identical. Look at the movement, look at the nip back. Get her on at both ends!

  16. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 2.5 overs

    Gardner b Prabodhani 2 (Aus 8-2)

    She's done it again! Udeshika Prabodhani has produced another rozzer to clean up Ashleigh Gardner. It's like the Aussies have never seen left-arm swing before. This time it's the off stump. It's like watching Chaminda Vaas.

  17. Aus 8-1published at 2 overs

    Target 123

    Shasikala Siriwardene with some off-breaks, delivered from underneath a cap. Both of these Aussies use their feet, with Mooney finding a gap through the covers to earn the first boundary.

    BBC Sport at the Waca

    This is the busiest I’ve seen the Waca. There’s loads of kids here, mostly Australia fans, with some large sections of Sri Lanka fans here and there. They were expecting about 5,000 people through the gates today.

  19. Aus 2-1published at 1 over

    Target 123

    Ashleigh Gardner gets a promotion to number three. She almost carried the Aussies to victory against India. Prabodani continues to get big swing, with Gardner and Mooney just about managing a single apiece.

    What a delivery that was. That's an unbelievable delivery - that's getting anyone out. Huge, huge, huge for Sri Lanka. That will give them so much confidence.
