Aussie stalwart Beth Mooney will start day three of the Ashes Test against England looking to score her first century in the format after she was left stranded in the 90s at stumps.
Mooney's innings came on a glorious day for Australia, with the side 5-422 at stumps, leading England by 252 runs.
Earlier on day two, Annabel Sutherland smashed her third Test century as England continued to drop catch after catch in a nightmare fielding display.

The left-hander hit a single through cover-point on the first ball before Tahlia McGrath rotated the strike back the next delivery.
An identical shot to the first ball then came with Mooney failing to get the strike back and heading to the pavilion on 98 not out.
"I can't walk at the minute, I've got a bit of dodgy back so we'll see how I wake up in the morning," she told Fox Cricket post-match.
Asked if she'll sleep, Mooney was hopeful.
"I think we're in a pretty good position. It would've been nice to slice that cover drive a bit straighter but it wasn't to be. It's a better time to bat in the day time I think," she said.
If Mooney can score two runs on day three it'll be her maiden Test century, having previously hit four 50s for a highest score of 85.
Mooney could've been out already though having been dropped three times. Overall, England dropped at least seven in what Brad Haddin described as a "horrible day in the field".
"This to me is just an attitude thing, it's not just about this Test match, it's happened all series so England need to go away, have a real close look at their attitude and doing those things right," he said.
