Sutherland c Knight b Capsey 11 (Aus 146-4)
The skipper does the job! That's a very good catch from Heather Knight.
Annabel Sutherland drilled a drive at her at short extra cover but Knight dives to her left to cling on.
A big wicket.

This cameo from the spin bowlers has been quite successful for England. You do feel like spin is the way to go on this surface.
Perry 56, Sutherland 9
Alice Capsey dropped one the other day in Sydney. She dropped another as England exited the T20 World Cup last autumn.
It has been a tough run for her.

Alice Capsey has taken five catches and dropped three in her ODI career. She is 0/2 off her own bowling. In T20 cricket, she has dropped five catches off her own bowling as well (but has taken seven).

You can't afford to keep missing these chances.
England need to take these chances.
I'm off for a cup of tea. Here's Matthew Henry to talk you through the remainder of Australia's innings.

The only loss? Against England in Taunton in 2023.
Alice Capsey into the attack and almost a dream start as Annabel Sutherland chips it back to her. It's a tough catching chance above her head, and Capsey gets a hand on it but cannot hold on.

Image source, Getty ImagesIt's a very good review from England. Another wicket for the outstanding Sophie Ecclestone.
Mooney lbw b Ecclestone 12 (Aus 131-3)
A brilliant review!
Sophie Ecclestone finds turn and bounce and the ball skips through and hits Beth Mooney almost above her pad. It looked too high on first viewing, but the technology shows it would have gone on to hit middle and leg.
England's players are delighted.

England burned through their reviews in the first ODI.
Now then. Sophie Ecclestone has struck Beth Mooney on the pad.
England have reviewed it.
An appeal shout by Charlie Dean from the last-but-one ball from her over after Beth Mooney attempts to sweep, but it's turned down.
Henry Moeran
Test Match Special commentator
From an England perspective, there's an ominous feeling to how Ellyse Perry is batting.
Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special
That's a great shot from Ellyse Perry. We were saying how she likes to hit into the off stump and there it is. What a cricketer.
Ellyse Perry with a 51-ball half-century, brought up with a back-to-back boundaries off Charlie Dean. The first is flashed over mid-wicket, then Perry chips the England off-spinner over over mid-off.
Perry goes to fifty

Ellyse Perry and Beth Mooney as a partnership in ODIs: 29 innings, 1,351 runs at an average of 67.5 with 10 50+ partnerships.
Close!
Ellyse Perry hesitates after setting off for a single having dabbed the ball into the off side. Danni Wyatt-Hodge is on to it in a flash and shies at the stumps.
Perry dives to make her ground but Wyatt-Hodge misses. That would have been out.
Sarah Elliott
Ex-Australia batter on BBC Sounds
Ellyse Perry is so strong, she's done it since she was 16.
Eager not to get bogged down Ellyse Perry biffs Sophie Ecclestone for six right down the ground. That's some answer to England's attempts to build some pressure.
