4.30pm Healy walks out with her hands on head and calls Garth in on 49. Brown wasn't padded up. That was the original plan. King needed to just knock a single to get Garth back on strike but she chose to go big and got castled. Australia break the world record for the highest ever team total in women's Tests with 575 for 9 declared. Sutherland made a spectacular 210, the second-highest score by an Australia woman in Tests. Alyssa Healy made 99 yesterday while Mooney and Gardner also made half-centuries. Garth finishes 49 not out.

Andrew: "Sad for Garth, one short of her first 50 in Test cricket."

David: "What is interesting from that list of highest innings scores is ... no team has lost a game scoring more than 310 runs in a single innings. ... except for England - who lost even when scoring 463 (granted Australia scored 473 in the innings prior). "

Hypocaust: "As Garth walks in 49* (45), the record for the fastest Test fifty for Australia women remains 52 balls..."
