  1. Aus 24-1

    Australia bat so deep. England cannot afford to squander these types of chances.

    Meanwhile, this is an impressive tight spell from Lauren Bell who has conceded just four runs from her four overs so far.

    They don't get any easier than that, it went straight at Alice Capsey's throat.

    The catching was a problem for England back in the World Cup and it's frustrating that it is still a problem.

  3. dropped catch

    Perry dropped on seven

    Deary me.

    We saw how good Ellyse Perry was in the field for Australia, but England have given her a life here.

    A short-ball approach from Lauren Filer is rewarded when Perry sends it skywards to fine leg. The ball goes straight to Alice Capsey, who barely had to move an inch.

    However, she spills it.

    To make matters worse Perry hits Filer's next ball for four.

  4. Perry given not out

    UltraEdge shows no bat involved.

    That was a review more in hope than expectation from Heather Knight.

  5. England review

    Another review.

    This time England take a bit of a punt on a caught behind after Ellyse Perry misses to a short ball from Lauren Filer.

    A great review from Healy. You can see that England are clearly putting pressure on Australia and it's game on.

  7. Healy survives

    Height looked to be an issue, and the ball-tracking technology backs that up.

    Alyssa Healy was quite far down the pitch and it struck her above the pads so it felt like the odds were in her favour for that review.

    Alyssa Healy immediately reviews! This is a question on height and she must believe that it is going over.

  9. Australia review

    Now then Lauren Bell has hit Alyssa Healy high on the leg and appealed for lbw.

    Given out on field, but Healy immediately reviews.

  10. Aus 18-1

    Not quite as much swing from England's new-ball pair as Australia found earlier, but there's still enough movement through the air to challenge their techniques.

    Fourth delivery of Lauren Bell's third over draws a leading edge from Alyssa Healy's bat, but the ball plops safe.

  11. Aus 17-1

    Ellyse Perry is hurried by one from Lauren Filer as she attempts to whip the ball square. Later in the over, Perry rides a shorter delivery and stylishly guides it through point for four.

    A pretty quiet over from Lauren Bell which will suit England as they look to build some kind of pressure on this Australia batting line-up.

    To get one of these senior players would give them a boost.

  13. Aus 11-1

    Ellyse Perry is the new batter for the Aussies and she's quickly off the mark.

    Lauren Bell is staying full and straight to Alyssa Healy, attempting to draw the the opener into a mistake. Healy looks very organised and has a determined look on her face.

    A bit of pace and bounce and Phoebe Litchfield is gone! A great delivery, it just nips off the surface through to Amy Jones to give England a breakthrough.

    WICKET

    Litchfield c Jones b Filer 4 (Aus 8-1)

    A peach from Lauren Filer gives England an early breakthrough!

    The England seamer gets the left-handed Phoebe Litchfield prodding at one which slides across her and she nicks off.

    Amy Jones gobbles up the catch, and England celebrate. They have hope.

  16. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    A knee-high full toss from Lauren Filer. She has the freedom to bowl as fast as she can but you need to keep an eye on those runs you're giving away too.

  17. Aus 8-0

    Phoebe Litchfield gets a freebie of a full toss from Lauren Filer on her legs which she glances for four. Australia's first boundary.

  18. Aus 3-0

    Phoebe Litchfield and Alyssa Healy fairly watchful to start, as you would expect, and safely negotiate Lauren Bell's opening over.

  19. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    The only way England can win is if they bowl Australia out. They have an uphill battle but they have to go out believing they can win this game.

  20. Aus 1-0

    There's plenty of swing on offer for Lauren Bell's first few deliveries. England need to take a clutch of early wickets to give themselves a sniff of a chance.
