8.07pm Australia were a bit wobbly to start off, but since the rain break, they found their footing and now have a pretty good score to defend on a slowish pitch. The broadcast made a point of how the average total in women's T20s at Lord's has been in the 140s. England need to win this game to stay alive. So you know they won't be taking a backwards step. What that means is a cracking chase is upon us and Srinidhi Ramanujam will be with you for all of it. Stay tuned.

W
Ecclestone to Wareham, 1 run, OUT, backs away and drills a full ball outside leg stump to long-off and they try to scamper through for two, more teams should do it, its the last ball, if you get out, you get out, you already have the single. And yep, Harris is run out, but they had the single already
GM Harris run out 25 (27m 15b 3x4 0x6) SR: 166.66

W
Ecclestone to Sutherland, OUT, full and straight and bowled with Sutherland looking to clear her front leg and hoick across the line. It's the last over. She has to go. She went. And doesn't make contact
A Sutherland b Ecclestone 3 (6m 4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 75.00

Ecclestone to Harris, FOUR, steps out and thumps the flighted ball on middle stump down the ground, to the left of the long-on fielder. Sublime batting
19.2
1
Ecclestone to Sutherland, 1 run, dropped at long-on, this time by Gibson. It's in the slot for the big hit down the ground. If anything it's too full, which is why Sutherland isn't able to get under the ball and get the elevation she wants
19.1
3
Ecclestone to Harris, 3 runs, dropped by Bell at short third. Straight forward catch, the result of a mis-hit as Ecclestone gets a shortish ball to stop on the pitch and turn much more than Harris expects. The cut shot goes off the outside edge, and straight to Bell at waist high. Looks like she lost it in the lights

Bell to Harris, FOUR, bouncer, angled into the right-hander, Harris sees it well, swivels on her back foot and hooks it away to the deep fine boundary. In full control from start to finish. Outstanding

W
Bell to Perry, OUT, appeal for lbw and its upheld. Bell strikes with her first ball back into the attack, but she'll have to wait to celebrate. Perry has reviewed. This had a lot going for it. For one, the ball is legal. And for another it is very very straight. A dipping full toss that Perry plays over and around. Her flick shot making no contact. She's struck in front of middle, on the full, and it's likely to crash into the stumps. The only problem is DRS is down. So the third umpire says the on-field decision stands. And its a decent one.
EA Perry lbw b Bell 34 (32m 25b 3x4 1x6) SR: 136.00

1
Nat Sciver-Brunt to Perry, 1 run, looks to pull the ball, but it isn't short enough, so she ends up with a mis-hit to short fine, 17 off the over
17.5
2
Nat Sciver-Brunt to Perry, 2 runs, falls short of Wyatt running in from the midwicket boundary. Perry's looking to go big again, but the lack of pace skews the ball squarer than she intends
17.4

Nat Sciver-Brunt to Perry, FOUR, back of the hand slower ball. Perry attempts the sweep. Gets a bit of glove which throws Jones off behind the stumps and runs away to the boundary

Nat Sciver-Brunt to Perry, FOUR, more runs behind the wicket. It's the slower ball, angled into her, and she uses that angle to great effect. Getting off side of the ball, getting down on one knee and scooping it to the fine boundary
17.1
4
Nat Sciver-Brunt to Perry, FOUR, on the pads, with very little pace, but there's still enough to run away. Perry went for the pull to beat short fine on her left, but she'll take the runs to her right
