- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR16.1 Schutt comes back and gets a wicket straight up! Slower length ball outside off. Dunkley looks to go leg-side, but is deceived by the slowness and is through the shot early. The ball catches the top-edge of her bat and spoons straight up for short third to take a simple catch. 115/52.6 Schutt strikes! Full length ball on off stump, this ball goes straight as Wyatt tries to go up and over towards the off side and rattles her off stump. It was cross seam delivery 20/14.6 Yorker on the stumps, knocked back to bowler. Brown in with a direct throw to the striker's end there! Capsey tries to get back into the crease quickly. Australia are already celebrating. Replays confirm that Capsey is just short of the crease. Her bat is in the air and she is not happy, walking back 26/27.5 In the air, and taken! Fuller on the stumps from Jonassen, Sciver-Brunt looks to hit this over deep midwicket, across the line, but Wareham slides and takes a low-catch this time to remove NSB. Key wicket for Australia 51/314.5 Oh, dear, does not pick the slower ball and long-on has taken a dolly! Was in the slot for Knight, but she did not take the lack of pace into account. Looks to go straight down, but does not generate enough power. Gets it off the bottom of her bat straight to Sutherland, who ain't dropping those. 106/417.1 Jonassen has another and Australia are all over England here! Tossed up on off, just holds on the surface a little bit. She dances down the track looking to turn it away to the on-side. Gets a bit of a leading edge that balloons straight up for extra cover to take a simple grab 118/617.2 And she goes first ball! Strangled down the leg side. Jonassen goes down leg and Ecclestone looking for a fine glance can only get a thin edge with Healy moving so well to her left and collect it. Broken fingers be damned! 118/7Extras5 (lb 2, w 3)TOTAL153/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.65)Fall of wickets: 1-20 (Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 2.6 ov), 2-26 (Alice Capsey, 4.6 ov), 3-51 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 7.5 ov), 4-106 (Heather Knight, 14.5 ov), 5-115 (Sophia Dunkley, 16.1 ov), 6-118 (Danielle Gibson, 17.1 ov), 7-118 (Sophie Ecclestone, 17.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.5 Up in the air, taken! Healy departs early. Full delivery swinging in, on the stumps, the Australia skipper looks to flick it towards leg side, gets a leading edge to backward point where Sarah Glenn completes the catch 20/19.1 Is that out? Pitches it full outside off stump, maybe expecting her to go big, and McGrath charges down and looks to hit it towards off side and misses. Jones is quick to take the bails off. Replays confirm that she is well out of her crease! Excellent stumping from Jones to remove key batter 69/216.5 And that slog sweep brings about Gardner's end! Slower length ball outside off. Gardner was eyeing the deep midwicket area again, but this time gets a thin under-edge and Jones picked up a lovely catch. Too late? Timely wicket? 130/316.6 That strike rate won't matter today coz Harris has been done in first ball! Oh, this changes things? Slower leg-cutter that turns into the batter. Harris looks to push it without moving her feet much. Gets a thick inside-edge back onto her stumps. Glenn is elated, the crowd find their voice. Can England get a way back? 130/418.3 Cleans her up! Bedlam in Birmingham! Pace off again, that was the back of a hand slower ball on off. Perry plays across the line, misses and sees her off pole pegged back. That's a big moment in the game. 140/519.4 Top edge and taken! Another twist to this game. Oh, dear. England are hanging in. Goes slightly short that turns away from Sutherland. She goes back and looks to swing across the line. Gets a top edge as Jones runs across to the off side and snaps it up. 153/6Extras0TOTAL154/6 (19.5 Overs, RR: 7.76)Fall of wickets: 1-20 (Alyssa Healy, 2.5 ov), 2-69 (Tahlia McGrath, 9.1 ov), 3-130 (Ashleigh Gardner, 16.5 ov), 4-130 (Grace Harris, 16.6 ov), 5-140 (Ellyse Perry, 18.3 ov), 6-153 (Annabel Sutherland, 19.4 ov)
