    That was a good catch from Beth Mooney, she's a good fielder.

    Silva 15, Ama 2

    Grace Harris is everywhere in this match. This time she chases down a Nilakshi de Silva chip over the top to save a boundary.

    Australia are well on top with one over to go.

  8. SL 100-5published at 18.1 overs

    That'll help. Sri Lanka get to 100 as Nilakshi de Silva sweeps a fine delivery from Alana King to add four more.

    You can see spin is doing the trick today.

    You've just got to admire Australia sometimes. Sri Lanka were in this game after seven overs. But they've completely fallen apart thanks to some brilliant, economical bowling.

    Vishmi Gunaratne was trying to be just a bit too aggressive.

    Ellyse Perry nails the catch! Schutt's return has done the damage for Sri Lanka.

    Vishmi c Perry b Schutt 24 (SL 94-5)

    Megan Schutt returns to the attack and immediately strikes as Vishmi Gunaratne mis-times one and picks out Ellyse Perry sliding forward in the deep.

    Australians don't drop 'em do they? They've been so good in the field today.

    That's more like it. New batter Nilakshi de Silva gets down and sweeps Georgia Wareham through the gap, beyond Ash Gardner in the deep for four.

    Australia's leg-spinner is back!

  19. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 16.3 overs

    Sanjeewani b Wareham 8 (SL 86-4)

    Through the gate!

    Sanjeewani tries to force it, advancing down the pitch but ends up dragging the ball on to her stumps.

    Sri Lanka are looking very vulnerable.

    It's been great from Grace Harris and Georgia Wareham in the middle part of the innings.
