  1. Henry Moeran
    Test Match Special commentator

    If I was Australia, I would bring on Ellyse Perry to bowl. She's like kryptonite to Amy Jones.

  2. Eng 109-5

    Alyssa Healy decides to hold Alana King's final three overs back.

    Seamer Megan Schutt is on.

  3. Michelle Goszko
    Ex-Australia batter on BBC Sounds

    A bit of a fight back here from England but I think if you can't chase down 180, it won't be good for their morale.

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

    I'd be nervous if I had to go out and bat here.

  5. Eng 108-5

    Need 73 more runs to win

    Australia lose 8-49 in Ashes ODI collapse

    It would be a great story if Alice Capsey can win this for England. She promised so much, hasn't really worked out the 50-over format and was dropped last year. There has been all of those dropped catches too.

    But she started the Australia collapse with the ball today and now is playing a crucial hand with the bat.

    Amy Jones drives the final ball of this over dangerously close to Phoebe Litchfield at extra cover.

  6. Eng 106-5

    That's a great shot.

    Alice Capsey cuts Annabel Sutherland hard for four.

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

    England still have so much time here, there's no scoreboard pressure in having to get the runs quickly. The pressure that England have is the wickets, you'd just presume that England would've chased this total.

  8. Eng 101-5

    Target 181

    Amy Jones and, in particular, Alice Capsey shrink back into their shells for Alana King's over with just a single coming from it.

    My fear with this approach, taking the game so deep, is that if a wicket falls England's tail is left needing a run per ball.

    If you look to wrap it up in 40 overs and they are needed then at least there's no pressure for them to score quickly.

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

    Lovely shot from Alice Capsey, just flicked it away. A much-needed boundary for England.

  10. Eng 100-5

    Need 81 more runs to win

    A boundary! A precious, precious boundary for England which releases the pressure.

    Annabel Sutherland joined four dots together in the middle of her over but strays onto Alice Capsey's pads on the final ball.

    Capsey, so impressive with the ball earlier, flicks it to the fence.

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

    Alice Capsey is sat on her back foot, just tapping it back to Alana King. That's all she needs to do here.

  12. Eng 94-5

    Need 87 runs from 138 balls

    Alex clearly sees things differently to me.

    One run from Alana King's sixth over. She has only conceded 17 runs overall.

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

    Both Alice Capsey and Amy Jones doing exactly what they need to do, be boring, play boring cricket and just stay out there.

  14. Eng 93-5

    Alice Capsey plops onto the front foot and leaves the final ball of Annabel Sutherland's over.

    You can't just survive in this situation and play the long game. You have to score too.

  15. Eng 91-5

    Target 181

    I think England have been a bit too tentative here. They could be another 30 or 40 runs on had they batted with their usual intent.

    Instead, with the runs not ticking over, they're right in the mire now that wickets have tumbled.

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

    There's something about the Women's Ashes that makes me more nervous than watching any other cricket.

  17. I warned you, Tim, and now look what you did.

    The pressure is on. Annabel Sutherland will bowl the next over...

  18. Eng 90-5

    Alice Capsey is the new batter for England. She shows some positive intent and sweeps Alana King finely for four, albeit with a hint of bottom edge.

    England need 91 from 150 balls in what is likely to be a nervous chase.

    A man with nerves of steel is Matthew Henry and he will take you through to the finish here

  19. How's stat?!

    There were 27 dots in 37 balls between Heather Knight and Nat Sciver-Brunt's dismissal.

    Another leading edge, Alana King can't believe it. That's a huge wicket. Australia were bigging Nat Sciver-Brunt up, how she was the best all-rounder in the world, and they've managed to take her.
