  1. Here are some more fours from Beth Mooney:

    What a World Cup final this has turned out to be so far for Australia.

    This is absolute dictation from Beth Mooney at the moment.

  4. Aus 167-3

    Mooney 68 (49 balls), Haynes 3 (3)

    Mooney is literally batting outside off stump, exposing her leg stump to the bowler as though daring Pandey to bowl on her legs, but helps herself to more ones and twos. Can she bat through the innings?

  5. Alister Nicholson
    BBC Test Match Special

    That is extraordinary; she is seeing it so well.

  6. Aus 164-3

    Pandey bowls one well outside off stump, but Mooney adjusts at the last minute to reach across and ramp her for four!

    Pandey has been brilliant in this tournament. She's a trained pilot, which I think is really cool.

  8. Aus 160-3

    Shikha Pandey, blue headband in place, has been expensive today, and she's driven for singles by Haynes and Mooney.

  9. Aus 156-3

    Vice-captain Rachael Haynes joins fellow left-hander Beth Mooney in the middle. Young Shafali Verma misfields at point to allow Haynes a single - Sharma's last over yields three runs and two wickets, so she finishes with 2-38 from her spell.

    Three overs left. With those wickets, 200 may be out of the equation, but 180-190's still on...

    WICKET

    Gardner st Bhatia b Sharma 2 (Aus 156-3)

    Gone! Gardner is beaten in the flight again and Taniya Bhatia, whose glovework has been very impressive in this tournament, whips the bails off to send Gardner back to the sheds.

  11. Aus 156-2

    Gardner plays and misses at her first ball, but gently knocks the ball towards long-on - and they have time to run two, despite the fact that the ball barely left the circle.

  12. The big-hitting Ashleigh Gardner joins Mooney. Australia have a very flexible batting order, but expect some fireworks in the last overs...

    Over the last few years, we've seen that Lanning likes to build an innings - much like Heather Knight - but she needed to accelerate from the off here and ended up taking one for the team.

    WICKET

    Lanning c Pandey b Sharma 16 (Aus 154-2)

    Deepti Sharma back on for her last over - and she makes the breakthrough as Meg Lanning steps across to the off side, attempting to shovel the off-spinner to leg - and hits it straight to the fielder at square leg.

  15. Meg Lanning has been joining in the fun...

  16. Aus 154-1

    We've still not heard an official attendance figure, but there aren't many empty seats to be had as Australia continue to grind India into the dirt. Their foot has been parked on the Indian jugular vein ever since they won the toss - Mooney and Lanning help themselves to four more singles.

  17. Australia's Alyssa Healy, speaking to the ICC on TV: "It was a great start for us and hopefully we can put a big total on the board. We wanted to put on a show for all those Australians who have come out to watch us today. It's amazing to have all of my family here. I'm glad they get to share this journey with me. I think we can get 200 here, it's up for grabs. In a final that's a big achievement."

  18. Aus 150-1

    Mooney pummels Radha Yadav for back-to-back first-bounce fours, hitting with the spin and heaving her through the leg side. 150 up.

  19. Alister Nicholson
    BBC Test Match Special

    It gets more promising with every delivery for Australia.

  20. Some more Alyssa Healy for you to watch - three successive sixes, but then her departure while trying to hit another.
