Australia's innings began shakily at 82-4, but a partnership between Mooney and McGrath steadied the ship, leading to a total of 269-7 after 50 overs.

9th over: Australia 81-0 (Voll 63, Mooney 18) Sree Charani comes into the attack with her left arm orthodox spin. Mooney takes a single and Voll decides it's time for another slog sweep, this time for the first six of the match. There's an appeal for lbw next ball, but there's a clear inside edge from Voll. Australia are applying some serious pressure to India here it's much improved batting from Sunday's match.

After bowling Scotland out for 152, England racked up 155-5 in 18.2 overs, with Jacob Bethell scoring 32, Sam Curran 28 and Will Jacks (16 off 10 balls) hitting a six and a four to finish the job. England wobbled at the start of their chase as the new white ball swung under the floodlights with the sun going down. Phil Salt fell third ball to Brandon McMullen for just two and when Jos Buttler picked out McMullen off Brad Currie, they were 13-2.

It was not just the digits next to Bethell's name, 142 not out from 232 balls, 15 fours, but the manner in which they came about. This was pure spun silk, elegance personified, all back-foot punches and pull shots struck with Swiss clock precision. Remarkably, it was also his maiden first-class century. No specialist England batter has ever achieved this feat in a Test match, just handful of wicketkeepers and bowlers.

Apologies if you are just dipping into your morning muesli or evening meal but Marsh is suffering with testicular bleeding. Poor chap. He [Marsh] is experiencing ongoing pain and discomfort which is restricting his movement, say Cricket Australia in their statement. Scans have confirmed internal testicular bleeding, and he will require a period of rest and rehabilitation. His return to play will be guided by symptom resolution and medical advice.
