Lauren Filer to Mooney, out Bowled!! Knocked her over! The English players gather around Mooney to appreciate her brilliant knock and she walks off to a standing ovation from the MCG crowd. A pacy full ball on middle and off and perhaps shapes away a touch, Mooney pushes at it tentatively and gets beaten on the outside edge as the ball crashes in to the off-stump.

127.6
Lauren Filer to Mooney, no run, was a shortish delivery that angled down leg, Mooney tried to swipe it across and gets some glove on it. Amy Jones dived to her right and the question is whether it carried to her on the full. UltraEdge detects a clear spike off the glove. The third umpire has a look from different angles whether it's a fair catch or not. Amy Jones dived to her right as the ball was dying in front of her and it seems there's a part of the ball touching the ground before it went into the mitts of Amy Jones. The third umpire rules that the keeper doesn't have her fingers underneath the ball.
