  1. Aus 292-8

    New batter Kim Garth gets a single.

    Over to you, Georgia. Can Australia get to 300?

    WICKET

    King c Capsey b Ecclestone 9 (Aus 291-8)

    Sophie Ecclestone only has three fielders out but Alana King picks one of those out. She is taken very well by Alice Capsey running around at deep mid-wicket.

    That's nice for Capsey who has dropped a few in this series already.

    What England will be saying here is do not let Georgia Wareham get on strike.

  4. Aus 291-7

    Wareham 22, King 9

    Bell closes out the over well but the damage has been done.

    To make matters worse England are six minutes behind the clock. They're going to have to bring a fielder in from the deep.

    Back of the hand slower ball from Lauren Bell. Georgia Wareham can read the slower ball and ultimately, it changes the game

  6. Henry Moeran
    Test Match Special commentator

    Goodness me, what a player to have coming in at eight. This Australian team just goes on and on and on.

  7. 6 runs

    Aus 289-7

    And that's six!

    Georgia Wareham has something to say to the selectors. "Remember me?"

  8. Aus 283-7

    But that has been clobbered.

    Georgia Wareham knew the slower ball was coming from Lauren Bell and just sits back to smack it for four.

  9. Aus 279-7

    Lauren Bell mixes her pace in a decent start to the penultimate over.

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

    Poor execution from Sophie Ecclestone, that was a freebie for Georgia Wareham. If she continues like this, Australia will get to 300.

  11. Aus 278-7

    Whatever happens in the final two overs here England will need their highest run chase in ODI cricket.

    They will have to beat the 267-8 they made against Australia at Bristol in the 2023 Ashes.

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

    Georgia Wareham looks to manipulate the field, she's going to take Sophie Ecclestone on.

  13. Aus 278-7

    Four more to Georgia Wareham through the covers. This hurts England badly.

  14. Henry Moeran
    Test Match Special commentator

    That was an elegant shot from Georgia Wareham. Lovely batting.

  15. Aus 270-7

    That a shot this is!

    Georgia Wareham goes prime Sachin to lift Sophie Ecclestone for four over extra cover.

  16. Aus 266-7

    It's a good start to the 48th over for Australia with Alana King cutting a three.

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

    If England can manage to bowl Australia out it will give them momentum going into the second innings. Australia have done well here today with Ash Gardner leading the way.

    If Australia get to 280 I'd be worried.

  18. This line graph tracks WinViz over the course of the match. Ash Gardner came in when Australia's chances of victory were at their lowest. She departed with them at their highest.

  19. Aus 263-7

    Alana King can still bat. She joins Wareham in the middle with three overs to go.

  20. wicket

    WICKET

    McGrath lbw b Sciver-Brunt 55 (Aus 262-7)

    Three reds. It was much straighter than I thought.

    England have to make these two wickets count here. The two set betters are gone. It could take 40 runs off their target.
