Michael in Herts
Gardner 60, McGrath 1
That wicket has brought in Tahlia McGrath, the Australian seemingly under the most pressure for her place after a run of low scores.
Ash Gardner has not been put off by the loss of her trusty partner. A couple of balls after the wicket she whacks Dean for four over extra cover.

A very good catch in the end. They are the hardest to take, with your bank on it and the ball swirling. That's a massive breakthrough which England needed.

A little show of relief from Nat Sciver-Brunt after taking that catch.
Mooney c Sciver-Brunt b Dean 50 (Aus 154-5)
Big! England get a much-needed breakthrough and it comes from Charlie Dean.
She tempts Beth Mooney into something aerial and the left-hander only manages to sky a catch high.
Nat Sciver-Brunt keeps her eye on the ball as it swirls, turning left and right but eventually clings on.

Ebony's right. England were right on top early on and desperately need to win this game. This partnership just knocking the air out of them as Nat Sciver-Brint is the latest bowler to show signs of frustration.
Beth Mooney, meanwhile, follows Ash Gardner is reaching her half-century.
It has been superb.

This partnership could be the defining one of the whole series.
Mooney 47, Gardner 52
Image source, Getty ImagesOff-spinner Charlie Dean is back. England clearly have a plan in mind for Beth Mooney.
They have two fielders hovering very square to the left-hander on the off side, hoping for something slashed through point in the air.
Not to be in this over - the last before drinks.
The old saying goes that you should double your score from 30 overs.
Anything close to 290 would be very tough to chase down.

What a terrific innings. To come in at that point of the game and keep the scoring up is terrific.
And that's now fifty for Ash Gardner.
She has got there in 53 deliveries and gets a lovely ovation from this Hobart crowd.
Top knock.
Sarah Elliott
Ex-Australia batter on BBC Sounds
Australia have had to be really disciplined with their decision making. They've calculated which risks to take and it's paid off.
Ash Gardner reinforces that point by pulling the returning Nat Sciver-Brunt for four.

The difference in the teams is the depth in the batting order. Australia are four wickets down, still have quality batters at the crease and have more to come.
Mooney 45, Gardner 45
"Ooo that's coming my way," says a slightly rushed Tammy Beaumont as she has to pause a conversation via the TV player mic to field a ball in the deep.
Does anyone else have to put up with such distractions while at work?
This partnership is bringing WinViz up towards parity...
Image source, CricvizSophie Ecclestone is getting increasingly frustrated as she continues to search for her first wicket. She was already mumbling earlier in the over and when Beth Mooney edges one away for three the England spinner is holding her arms out wide, I think complaining about the fielding.

Image source, Getty ImagesThis partnership is the counter-attack that we're talking about. England had a good start but this is what Australia do well, they're taking their time and slowly taking runs.
After I just said that, Ash Gardner plays a lovely shot to hit Sophie Ecclestone over the top for four.
She has been the more aggressive of these two.
