7.37pm: That was a strange innings from England, collapsing from 100 for 1 off 11.1 overs to 119 for 6 off 15 - then somehow scrambling up to 186 for 9 after 20, thanks to some big-hitting at the back end. Australia will wonder how they let things slip but Danni Wyatt was somewhere near her best, and Ecclestone's cameo has ensured England have a total to defend. Suds will be back shortly.

Sampath Bandarupalli from our stats team in Bangalore tells me this is the second-highest total that Australia have conceded in a women's T20I.

Danni Wyatt is speaking to Sky near the dugout: "It was a little bit tricky. We're really happy with 186 but we're going to have to bowl really well to restrict them. I thought I would keep batting my way, and keep thinking: boundaries. Charlie Dean has been bowling really well in practice. Really confident that the bowlers can do the job for us tonight. Really important game for us so let's hope we can win it."

Gardner to Ecclestone, 1 run, OUT, swung out to deep midwicket and Dean races back for two at the bowler's end... but Gardner realises that Ecclestone is dawdling, so throws to Healy who whips off the bails with Ecclestone short of her ground

Gardner to Dean, 1 run, skips down to turn a yorker into a full toss, which she pushes back down the pitch. It bounces up and over Gardner, so Ecclestone will have the strike for the last ball
