6.05pm: We are back. The players are in the middle for the chase.

5.36pm Innings break What a performance by England. That is Australia's lowest total batting first in a non-rain affected ODI since August 2013. They bowled superbly on a surface that had plenty of assistance for the seamers. Katherine Brunt and Kate Cross were outstanding with their cutters. Beth Mooney played a gem to lift Australia above 200 and got some crucial help from Alana King. The chase will be intriguing. Srivathsa will be back the start of the chase.

Meg Lanning on Fox: "It gives us something to defend. It was hard work out there. I certainly found that. England bowled extremely well in the middle and have given us a blueprint about how we want to go about our bowling. But Beth Mooney was outstanding to get us up to a total that we hopefully can defend."

Brunt to Mooney, OUT, stunning catch from Winfield-Hill at mid off! That saves four! Slower ball outside off, Mooney skipped down and smoked a drive inside out flat and wide of mid off, Winfield-Hill had to move at full stretch to her right on the circle and plucked it with two hands. Superb catch. It looked four off the bat.

BL Mooney c Winfield-Hill b Brunt 73 (91b 8x4 1x6) SR: 80.21

49.5

Brunt to Schutt, 1 run, short on the hip, she pulls to fine leg with ease

Megan Schutt is about to face her first delivery in an ODI in three years

49.4

Brunt to King, OUT, bowled off the pad! Back of the hand slower ball drifted outside leg, King tried to heave it over square leg, she missed and it came off the inside of her front pad and ricocheted onto leg

AM King b Brunt 18 (29b 2x4 0x6) SR: 62.06
