2nd over: Australia 21-0 (Mooney 6, Voll 9) Lauren Bell at the other end. Drifts on the leg side and Mooney flicks her away to the rope, one-legged flamingo style. They run a handful of quick singles and pick up another when Dunkley lets the ball through her legs at cover. And then an overthrow.

1st over: Australia 11-0 (Mooney 1, Voll 6) And Kemp starts with a slightly insipid wide. Exciting young starlet, 21-year-old Georgia Voll, is playing in her first international T20 after making her debut against India in three ODI games earlier this winter. She’s beaten once, but also hooplas Kemp up and over Nat Sciver Brunt at mid-on for four.
