  1. Umpire reviewpublished at 04:30 British Summer Time 3 April 2022

    Amy Jones appeals for a stumping on Beth Mooney, who was playing a loose drive outside off stump to Cross.

    It's not the most optimistic appeal, but the square-leg umpire fancies a look.

  2. Aus 220-1published at 37.3 overs

    Wow.

    Healy gets down on one knee and ramps Kate Cross over her shoulder and down to the fine-leg boundary for potentially the shot of the day so far - and there's been plenty to choose from.

    She is a sight to behold when she's in a mood like this.

    Beth Mooney is doing what Beth Mooney does, I thought it was brilliant of Australia to get another leftie in.

    I'm running out of ways to say 'An Australian batter has hit a four.'

  5. Aus 208-1published at 36 overs

    Some good news for England fans is that Katherine Brunt is back on the field having been in some discomfort after diving on the boundary a few overs ago.

    The bad news for England is that Alyssa Healy has once again revealed all three stumps to Cross and still managed to carve the ball up and over cover for another boundary.

    That's just showing off.

  6. Aus 202-1published at 35.2 overs

    Healy was dropped on 42 by Nat Sciver, and it's safe to say she's made them pay for it.

    She gives herself some room outside leg stump and carves Kate Cross past cover for four. That is beautiful, and brings up Australia's 200.

    The worrying thing for England was from her celebrations there looked like there is more to come.

    Life goal: find someone who loves you as much as Alyssa Healy loves World Cup finals.

    She pretty much won the T20 World Cup for Australia in 2020. She's certainly given them a very, very good start today, too.

    And I'd say she's probably only in second or third gear, so this could get messy for England.

    An unbelievable knock from Healy, she has put England under pressure and has set this game up so nicely for Australia. It would not surprise me to see her accelerate now.

  11. 100 runs

    100 for Alyssa Healypublished at 04:15 British Summer Time 3 April 2022

    There it is! Back to back hundreds for the absolute machine that is Alyssa Healy.

    A glorious innings, as good as you will ever see.

    100 from exactly 100 balls. Pure class - that is all.

    The run map shows Alyssa Healy scored 100 with 13 fours, 2 twos, and 44 singles for Australia Women

    Dot ball...

  13. Aus 187-1published at 34 overs

    Beth Mooney shows Sophie Ecclestone some respect as just two runs come from her over.

    But here's the big one. Alyssa Healy on strike for the start of the next over on 99 ...

    Want to see an England wicket? Of course you do.

    Heather Knight will be desperate for a few more of these, to say the least.

    That was a brilliant shot from Beth Mooney, good initiative, up on her toes and over slip.

  16. Aus 185-1published at 33 overs

    Healy 98, Mooney 12

    Nat Sciver extracts some sharp bounce from absolutely nowhere outside the off stump, but instead of being startled, Beth Mooney just guides it away for four.

    She's only faced 10 balls, but looks like she's been batting all day.

    Sigh.

    Healy 96, Mooney 5

    It's unfair for anyone to make batting look this effortless.

    I played my first warm-up game of the season yesterday and was pretty chuffed with my 21 (26) until now.

  19. Postpublished at 04:05 British Summer Time 3 April 2022

    I know England have just taken a wicket by holding on to a catch, so I don't like to do this, but here's the two they dropped earlier - in one over.

    Spare a thought for Kate Cross.

    Have England bowled badly, or have Australia just batted really well?

    Gulp.
