    England will want to get some control here.

  2. Sarah Elliott
    Ex-Australia batter on BBC Sounds

    You can see the plan that England are trying to work on now.

  3. Aus 108-2

    Good stuff from Charlie Dean, who is chipping away as England attempt to build some pressure here. A single each for Ellyse Perry and Beth Mooney from her fourth over, but not much more.

  4. Sarah Elliott

    There's some really smart bowling from England here. Australia need to regroup and get a partnership going.

  5. Aus 106-2

    Sophie Ecclestone gives it a bit of air and Beth Mooney drives it crisply through the covers for four. Mooney, of course, has a mightily impressive average against left-arm spin.

  6. Aus 100-2

    Charlie Dean continues and a single apiece for Ellyse Perry and Beth Mooney helps bring up three figures for Australia.

    Here's how Lauren Bell snaffled Australia captain Alyssa Healy with a beauty earlier.

    Bell takes the wicket of Healy

  7. Aus 98-2

    The ball zings off Ellyse Perry's bat after she drives Sophie Ecclestone for four but, in truth, Maia Bouchier should not have allowed the ball to go through her.

    Beth Mooney is the new batter for Australia.

  8. Sarah Elliott
    Ex-Australia batter on BBC Sounds

    That was an interesting decision to take on that shot. She's been playing good cricket shots but it just shows that they wanted to try to be dominant.

    She'll be disappointed as she's worked hard for her runs today.

    Sophie Ecclestone gets the key breakthrough.

    WICKET

    Litchfield lbw b Ecclestone 29 (Aus 92-2)

    Sophie Ecclestone straight into the wickets!

    Phoebe Litchfield goes for the reverse sweep again, but it's too full from the England left-arm spinner and she misses.

    It looked plumb and after a brief conflab with Ellyse Perry the left-hander is on her way.

  11. Aus 90-1

    Runs are flowing. Wickets aren't coming.

    Time for Sophie Ecclestone

    Ellyse Perry has been particularly aggressive against Charlie Dean in ODIs, scoring 47 runs off 31 balls at a strike rate of 152 without being dismissed in four innings.

  13. 6 runs

    Aus 88-1

    Ominous from Ellyse Perry, who gracefully hits with the spin to dispatch Charlie Dean over the ropes at long on for six. The first maximum of Australia's innings.

  14. Aus 82-1

    A glimmer of a run-out chance for England off the fifth ball of Nat Sciver-Brunt's over as Phoebe Litchfield pushes for a single into the leg side and has to pull out the dive to make her ground. The throw was just wide of the stumps at the non-striker's end.

    It's a terrific shot form Phoebe Litchfield, I love that she's getting on the front foot trying to get Dean to change what she's doing.

  16. Michelle Goszko
    Ex-Australia batter on BBC Sounds

    They all know each other well enough, both sides have done their homework. It's good to see teams being innovative with their field placings and gameplan.

  17. Aus 79-1

    Phoebe Litchfield waits for one in the slot from Charlie Dean and then reverse sweeps the England off-spinner for four. There's no fielder there for England.

  18. Spin for the first time today as Charlie Dean is tossed the ball by Heather Knight after drinks.

  19. Sarah Elliott
    Ex-Australia batter on BBC Sounds

    Australia will be pretty happy in the position that they are in. We haven't seen any spin yet, England are certainly in the game but need more wickets.
