What a snaffle from Suzie Bates at short cover! Mooney was through her drive a fraction early, giving the
New Zealand champion half a chance diving forward - excellent work. Mair gets a second wicket. She’s been the White Ferns’ best. 6.35am BST
28th over: Australia 149-2 (Lanning 48, Mooney 16) Target 181. I dream about playing
Cricket a lot - too often, really. Usually, that involves bowling without impediment again, flinging it down without my shoulder feeling as though it is going to fall off. Occasionally, I dream about batting. The way Lanning has put her innings together today must be how she dreams, so chanceless and graceful and classy and formidable. I wrote this paragraph expecting her to reach 50 during the Green over; that doesn’t happen. But my point remains. 32 (off 132) left to get.
