  1. Aus 142-1published at 15 overs

    Five overs left. The highest score of this tournament was South Africa's 195-3 against Thailand. But is 200 out of the question?

  2. 50 runs

    50 for Beth Mooneypublished at 14.5 overs

    Aus 142-1

    Mooney takes the MCG's applause with a single which takes her to 50 from 41 balls.

  3. Aus 141-1published at 14.4 overs

    Lanning picks up a well-run two to backward point, before dabbing one into the covers. She's so quick between the wickets.

    Today has made me wonder why we haven't had wickets like this throughout the tournament.

  5. Aus 138-1published at 14.2 overs

    Lanning moves to 11 - Mooney knocks a single to long-on to move to 49. Lanning misses with a bloodthirsty sweep shot but it's signalled as a leg-side wide.

    Alyssa Healy was phenomenal. She was so, so good. You could see how much she enjoyed herself. She had a smile on her face, even when she got out.

    Poonam Yadav back for her third over.

    Moments of good fielding can lift a team. That's an area where India have improved in recent years.

  9. Aus 135-1published at 14 overs

    Beth Mooney is denied by another diving boundary stop - despite those drops early in the innings, India's boundary fielding has been pretty good.

    But there's nothing they can do as Mooney drills another four over extra cover. She's up to 48 from 39 balls. Lanning has 10 from seven.

  10. Aus 128-1published at 13.2 overs

    Off-spinner Deepti Sharma is back, and Lanning cuts just wide of backward point for four.

    Max Larter: India setting themselves up well for a record run-chase here.

  16. Aus 121-1published at 12.1 overs

    Gayakwad on to bowl her final over - Meg Lanning sweeps the first ball, Jemimah Rodrigues dives full-length to parry the ball at deep square leg, but the ball rebounds to squirm onto the rope about 20 yards away.

  17. Aus 117-1published at 12 overs

    Not much consolation for India - as that wicket brings out Meg Lanning, who's only ranked by most commentators as the top female batter in world cricket.

    They ran on the catch - a two takes Mooney to 40 from 34 balls.

    That was some of the cleanest hitting this great ground has ever seen. It was brutal ball-striking.

    What an innings - in a World Cup final, on home soil. She's played many great innings but this is the best.

    Here's how she brought up fifty:

    Healy c Krishnamurthy b Radha Yadav 75 (Aus 115-1)

    And it's finally Alyssa Healy's curtain call - she goes down the ground again, aiming for a sixth six, but this time it doesn't quite have the legs and Veda Krishnamurthy holds on at long-on. What an innings.
