  1. Michelle Goszko
    Ex-Australia batter on BBC Sounds

    Another wicket here and the pressure is back on England.

  2. Eng 42-2

    A rare blot on Kim Garth's copybook as she strays on to Heather Knight's legs and the England skipper nudges it behind square for four.

  3. Michelle Goszko
    Ex-Australia batter on BBC Sounds

    There's no dot ball pressure here for England, they can afford to take their time here.

  4. Eng 38-2

    There's a lot being made of a green patch on a length which the seamers - Kim Garth, currently - appear to be targeting from one end and getting the ball to talk.

    At the other end Annabel Sutherland notches up five dots before dropping one a little wide which Nat Sciver-Brunt stylishly square-drives for four.

  5. Michelle Goszko
    Ex-Australia batter on BBC Sounds

    There's enough in this pitch at the moment, Kim Garth gets swing anyway but there looks to be a lot on it.

  6. Eng 33-2

    Kim Garth is bowling quite beautifully here. Movement off the pitch and through the air as she squares up Nat Sciver-Brunts and beats the outside edge of bat on a couple of occasions.

  7. Matt Clinch

    A big chance for the Australians goes rolling away.

  8. dropped catch

    Knight dropped on three

    Extremely harsh to call this a drop.

    Beth Mooney dives full length at second slip to tip it round the post after Heather Knight throws her hands at a wide one from Annabel Sutherland.

    Fingertips on it. But the ball races away for four. England are riding their luck a little.

  9. Matt Clinch

    Australia are getting more swing than England did.

  10. Eng 29-2

    England really need Heather Knight and Nat Sciver-Brunt to roll up their sleeves and dig in for a while here.

    Annabel Sutherland into the attack for the Aussies.

    I don't think I'll be able to cope if Australia win this game.

    WICKET

    Bouchier c Gardner b Garth 17 (Eng 27-2)

    Maia Bouchier survives... but not for long.

    The England opener was looking to work Kim Garth into the leg side but a leading edge sends it skywards. Ash Gardner waits an age for the ball to come down and calmly takes the catch.

    England are wobbling a little here.

  13. Bouchier surives

    Missing leg stump.

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

    Too high is my thoughts, she loves a review does Alyssa Healy.

  15. Australia review

    Maia Bouchier is late on a defensive shot and is hit just above the knee roll by a delivery from Kim Garth which climbs into her.

    Given not out but Alyssa Healy fancies a look.

    Australia's captain not quite as convinced as the previous one.

  16. Aus 27-1

    If you're going to flash, flash hard, as the cricket saying goes.

    Maia Bouchier flashes at one outside off stump and it flies over first slip and away for four.

    Next ball Bouchier skips down the wicket and attempts to work the ball to leg, but Alyssa Healy misses the chance of a stumping down the legh side.

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

    Maia Bouchier, biggest one of the day. It's not an awful delivery but it's beautifully picked up by her.

  18. 6 runs

    Eng 21-1

    Fetch that! A might bosh from the mighty Bouchier.

    Dropped a fraction short by Megan Schutt and Maia Bouchier picks up the length early, times it beautifully as she swivels on her heels and heaves it for six.

    Positive from England

  19. Eng 15-1

    If you're just joining us... Australia went from 131-2 to 180 all out.

    Here's the wickets from that collapse.

  20. How's stat?!

    Soham Sarkhel
    CricViz analyst

    England's opening partnership in their last 15 ODIs against Australia have averaged just 11.4 with one 50+ stand. Nine of them have been in single digits.
