Well, England are all out for 177. Megan Schutt is confident the Australians can reach the target on a "pretty good pitch". "We just wanted to keep them under 300, so pretty stoked," she told Sky Sports. "It's a good batting deck. If we just play some sensible shots we should get the target."

Gareth asks: "Is the pitch doing anything, or is it just a) bad batting by England, b) good bowling by Aussie, c) a combination of any of the above??!!" The pitch seems pretty true. The Australian bowlers got a bit of movement through the air early on and there were a few cases of poor shot selection by England ... yes, perhaps a bit of a) and b) equals c).

Schutt to Cross, OUT, a beautiful delivery! It's a leg-cutter which completely beats the bat, curling round the batsman's body and clattering into off stump.
