Ashleigh Gardner hits maiden international century
Amy Jones is England's number six. Australia's number six scored a brilliant century earlier.
Is she capable of such a knock? The runs are going to have to come from these two and next batter Alice Capsey.
Need 148 more runs to win
Well this'll help. Amy Jones gets an early cut shot away for four.
We saw in the second ODI she was in decent nick - just messed up tactically at the end.
How she'd love to win this one for her side.
Sarah Elliott
Ex-Australia batter on BBC Sounds
The important part is that England keep the score ticking over, Amy Jones doesn't have time to settle in. She needs to hit the ground running.
Need 155 runs from 114 balls
Wareham cameo caps off brutal Australian innings
Maybe you're just waking up and missed Georgia Wareham's 12-ball 38 earlier. Much of the damage had been done but that really boosted Australia's total and gave them all of the momentum. She has followed with two huge wickets of Tammy Beaumont and Nat Sciver-Brunt.

Ex-Australia batter on BBC Sounds
It was pretty straight. Nat Sciver-Brunt tried to play it across the line but just missed it. Just as she was having a big performance. You can see her disappointment.
Sciver-Brunt b Wareham 61 (Eng 151-4)
The hammer blow.
Nat Sciver-Brunt goes and potentially so do England's hopes in this match.
She tries to play leg-spinner Georgia Wareham into the leg side but the ball is slightly quicker and bowls her. It's Wareham again. It's always Wareham...
Need 162 runs from 120 balls
Srini is doing his best to boost the hope of England fans. Sciver-Brunt loves a chase and she has got one to effectively keep England in this series.
If they do lose this they will have to win all of the remaining matches to regain the Ashes.

Nat Sciver-Brunt in ODIs v Australia
Batting first: 422 runs in 11 innings, 46.9 average, 75.0 strike rate, 50s/100s: 1/1
Chases: 687 runs in 14 innings, 76.3 average, 97.4 strike rate, 50s/100s: 3/3
Target 309
England just have to be careful to not let the required run rate get away from them here as Danni Wyatt-Hodge gets in.
It has just nudged above eight runs per over.
Three dots end Georgia Wareham's latest over.

Kim Garth has bowled well this series. She's bowled with accuracy and had the ball talking.
Sciver-Brunt 55, Wyatt-Hodge 7
Ashleigh Gardner hits maiden international century
If Australia do win this then Ash Gardner will get a lot of the plaudits for her hundred, Tahlia McGrath for her fifty and Georgia Wareham for her explosive cameo.
Let's not forget about seamer Kim Garth here, though. She has just completed her seventh over and has only conceded 14 runs.
Target 309
Nat Sciver-Brunt and Danni Wyatt-Hodge come together mid-pitch at the end of Wareham's over for a chat. England couldn't ask for two more experienced batters to be in the middle.

Nat Sciver-Brunt knows she'll need to double it and more to get England over the line here.
Shot. Not many people have been able to stop Georgia Wareham today but Nat Sciver-Brunt gets her away for four here.
On you go, Nat.

At this stage, Australia were 116-4.
Need 184 more runs from 144 balls
England have got a chance - and that's more than I thought I'd be saying at this stage.
So much, as ever, depends on Nat Sciver-Brunt.

'Horror' communication in the field - Australia must take chances
Australia are a world class fielding unit. Yes they had that mistake earlier but you rarely see them.
Image source, CricvizEngland are not quite out of this just yet, but they're going to need to match Australia's explosiveness at the back end of the innings if they are to pull off a remarkable win.
Can they do it? The eternally optimistic Matthew Henry has hope. He will talk you through the remainder of this contest.
