    0.4 Is that out? Yorker length swinging in on the stumps, Healy goes for a flick and misses. Huge appeal from Cross and players. Umpire says no. Knight has a chat and reviews this. Looks like there is no bat involved. Three reds light up and Healy has to depart. Brilliant from Cross! 8/1
    12.1 In the air, and what a single-handed catch from Ecclestone! Sensational catch that is to remove Litchfield. It is full ball, a cross seamer, around off stump, Litchfield lofts it towards mid-off where Ecclestone times her jump and takes the catch. She can't believe she's clung onto it 69/2
    20.2 plinked to short midwicket! Glenn's drop of Perry doesn't prove costly. A bit of a drag-down in truth, sitting up off the pitch, but Perry is a little late to read the length and didn't have the width to free her arms. That means no timing on the pull shot, and NSB pouches it low down 106/3

    29.6 knocks her over! Capsey's first ODI wicket. A hint of turn, McGrath stands tall to defend and plays inside the line of the ball. It bounces past her outside edge and crashes into the top of middle-and-off stump, and England have broken another developing partnership 144/4
    36.3 Nat Sciver-Brunt takes a running catch to remove Gardner! Bell bangs in short around off stump, Gardner looks to pull this away to the on side, ball only goes high in the air as the batter gets a thick top edge to right of midwicket 185/5
    36.5 Two wickets in three balls for Bell! Terrific bowling. Length ball on middle and off, angles in then nips away as Sutherland looks to defend and it knocks back her off stump 185/6
    47.4 Ecclestone strikes! Pace off the delivery, it turns into the left-hander as she moves away to hit the ball and misses. It takes the top of her off stump. Smart bowling from the left-arm spinner 240/7
    49.3 Wyatt waits patiently and takes the catch! Back of a hand slower ball on the stumps, Wareham goes for a slop sweep again but the ball finds the deep midwicket fielder 260/8

    12.3 picks out short midwicket! Drops short, Beaumont stands tall looking to pull over the leg side and gets a decent connection, but it's straight at McGrath who holds onto a sharp chance. The change of pace works for Australia 103/2
    3.2 nips back and knocks her over! It's been a horrible start for Australia and their seamers but Perry has delivered a beauty. Wide on the crease, scrambled seam. Angling in and the movement off the seam takes the ball past Dunkley's inside edge, through the gate and into the top of the stumps 29/1
    15.4 skips down, looking to go down the ground... picks out long-on this time! Capsey cleared the same boundary two overs ago, but didn't connect as cleanly this time. Simple catch for Sutherland on the rope, and Australia have two fresh batters at the crease together 121/3

    26.3 JJ strikes! Nat Sciver-Brunt moves across to a full ball around off stump and goes for a reverse sweep but doesn't get it past short third because of top edge as Wareham takes a chest-high catch, comfortably. England are well in control but this seemed unnecessary 163/4
    33.6 In the air, gone! Full length ball pitched outside off, Wyatt looks to hit this over backward point but doesn't get the elevation and power to clear the fielder as Jonassen takes a good, low catch while rolling on the ground to remove Wyatt 194/5
    36.2 chipped back! A soft dismissal for Jones who extends her dismal ODI record against Australia. Wareham gets a huge breakthrough. Looking to swipe over mid-off but can only loft it back to the bowler, who takes a stinger off her own bowling 207/6
    41.2 straight down deep midwicket's throat! Ecclestone has been living dangerously throughout this innings but this surely isn't the percentage option in the circumstances? She gets down on one knee, looking to slog-sweep, but her steepling top edge is straight to Wareham on the rope 229/7
    43.3 leading edge to short cover! England are imploding! Full offbreak, Glenn looks to get her head over it but is through the shot early with hard hands and lofts straight to Litchfield, in tight, who takes a good, low catch. Australia are two good balls away... 235/8
