And with that, Australia declare. A tough little session coming up for their openers before lunch, which will last 15 minutes or so.

So Australia end on 420, led by Ellyse Perry's classy 116 and Rachael Haynes' gritty 87, plus 50s for Alyssa Healy, Meg Lanning, and Beth Mooney. Hard graft for England, whose spinners bowled a lot of overs between them without looking overly threatening, and you sense the win they need to stay in the Ashes is probably beyond them...

Mooney's fifty means that for the first time, five Australians have passed that landmark in a women's Test, Ric Finlay points out on Twitter. It's only the second time that's happened ever in a women's Test, after India managed it against South Africa way back in 2002.

Sciver to Mooney, OUT, great catch! Full and straight, and looks to tuck into the leg side, but gets a leading edge and Jones takes a blinder running back from backward point towards short third man.
