England just need something to go their way.
Aus 278-1
The boundaries are coming thick and fast now and it's hard to keep up with them all.
Beth Mooney pulls for four and brings up her half-century from just 38 balls.
What a performance. The headlines will go to Healy but she's been an incredible supporting act.
Hmmm. A tough chance again for Tammy Beaumont at short fine leg as Healy ramps, but she does get two hands to it so you can't argue that it's another drop.
Once again, Alyssa Healy backs away to leg stump and thumps the ball over extra cover for four.
England just aren't learning.

England need to break this partnership, but then there's Lanning, Perry, Gardner, McGrath...

I think sometimes you have to admit the opposition are just really good.
Healy 132, Mooney 46
Sophie Ecclestone has not been at her best against Australia today and that's because they've attacked her, taken her for five and six an over from ball one - something no other team has done in the tournament.
Meanwhile, Healy and Mooney are demonstrating a combination of both skill and fitness out there, running twos to England's fielders for fun.
Beth Mooney is playing games with Ecclestone out there, and that just shows the tactical genius of Meg Lanning to send out the left-hander in her place to counter the threat of the left-arm spin.
She helps herself to four over extra cover before an exquisite dab down to third for another.

The fielder didn't do anything wrong there, and Katherine Brunt is taking her frustration out on her team-mates. It only ends up putting her own team-mates under pressure.
Healy 131, Mooney 33
Healy shuffles across to leg stump, Healy smashes four over extra cover.
How many times have we seen that today? England have no answers and to be honest, she's making them look rather silly.
The batters then run a two to Charlie Dean on the boundary and Brunt is livid, shouting and mock-throwing the ball in rage - rather unnecessary.
Into the last 10 overs and Alyssa Healy is 126 not out. Expect a bit more of this.
Right then!
10 overs to go. Australia have 236 with Perry, Gardner, Lanning and McGrath still to come.
That is a terrifying thought. What have you got, England?

Unbelievable wicketkeeping from Amy Jones! Healy is very lucky, she had no idea where she was or what she was doing.
Aus 236-1
Healy survives.
Good athleticism all round from both keeper and batter - Jones' awareness to take the ball in such an unorthodox position and Healy's balance and flexibility to keep her foot down.
More glorious glovework from Amy Jones and I'm not too sure how to describe this.
I'll try.
1. Healy goes for a ramp, Cross bangs it in short to counter it. 2. Healy goes through with the shot, Jones takes the ball high above her head.3. Healy falls over, does the splits to try and keep her foot down as Jones takes the stumps.

Steve: Double-century in a World Cup final here for Healy if she wants it.
Alyssa Healy's score is the highest in a World Cup final. She beats the previous best of 107* set by Karen Rolton in 2005...

Healy 123, Mooney 29
Katherine Brunt strays onto Alyssa Healy's leg stump, which is not something I'd advise, and she watches the ball trickle away for four more.
She repeats the dose to Mooney last ball and it gets the same treatment. A poor over.

Jones has been superb throughout the tournament and she has had some tough ones to take today.
Aus 221-1
A sharp piece of glovework from Amy Jones, who's been exemplary behind the stumps this World Cup, but Mooney gets her foot back in time.
As you were.
