Georgia Wareham to Hasini Perera
OUT! Taken! That's a fine catch. On a day when the Aussies have been sloppy in the field, that's really good! Perera steps out. She makes this into a full toss. It is hit out towards deep mid-wicket. Gardner runs to her right and takes it. They check for the no ball for height but it's deemed fine.
