1.32pm Innings break An incredible display of middle and lower order batting from Australia. They recovered from 59 for 4 after 14.2 to post 308 for 8. Ash Gardner made her maiden international century and played superbly. It is just the second century scored by a No.6 in women's ODI cricket according to statsguru. Beth Mooney and Tahlia McGrath both made half-centuries and had wonderful partnerships with Gardner. Then Wareham finished off with an extraordinary 38 not out from 12 balls. That is Wareham's highest ODI score.

Beth Mooney on Fox: "When the ball got a bit softer, it just slowed down significantly when England changed their pace. We're going to have to be on the ball with our changes of pace."

Shubha: "Georgia Wareham is ensuring the nails are drilled well on the coffin. What an innings !"

Sunitha : "Very very disappointing that Sophie Ecclestone has been taken to the cleaners today. She is a steady bowler. Should have done much better than going for 7 RPO ! " Her second worst figures in ODIs.

JJ: "Insane that Wolfie wasn't selected in either of the first two ODIs. I like Darcie Brown but Wareham's batting alone should have her in the team ahead of the young quick, Wareham's bowling is just a bonus."

Suds will be back for the start of the chase.
