The runs are flowing for England at the moment, mainly from the bat of Danni Wyatt-Hodge.

The experienced right-hander chips Megan Schutt over mid-on for four before glancing the next away fine for four more.

She is only denied a third boundary on the trot by a fantastic stop in the covers by Georgia Voll. Wyatt-Hodge could not have hit that any cleaner but she gets nothing for it.

This is good from England so far. Danni Wyatt-Hodge has her cranky head on today and she will be enjoying batting on this pitch.

Australia have confirmed their squad for the Ashes Test match, which starts on 30 January at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

The four-day Test is a day-night match, with Alyssa Healy named as captain despite her omission from the ongoing T20 series with a foot injury.

All-rounder Ash Gardner, also nursing an injury, is also included with leg-spinners Georgia Wareham and Alana King.

Australia Test squad: Alyssa Healy (c), Tahlia McGrath (vc), Darcie Brown, Ash Gardner, Kim Garth, Alana King, Phoebe Litchfield, Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry, Megan Schutt, Annabel Sutherland, Georgia Voll, Georgia Wareham.

Alana King comes back well after those boundaries, just two more from the over but England are just ahead of the DLS par score as it stands.

Of course, ideally they'd stay out there and knock off the runs. But given how things have gone to this point, Heather Knight's side would probably be quite happy to get ahead of the game after five overs and then see the rain pour...

Interesting move from Tahlia McGrath as she brings leg-spinner Alana King into the attack to bowl the third over.

England have struggled against spin - to put it mildly - in this series but Danni Wyatt-Hodge starts well against it here.

Back-to-back boundaries to start the over - a sweep just wide of short fine leg then a late cut to punish a horrible long hop.

England don't want to be getting behind eight for run-rate. Danni Wyatt-Hodge is holding her shape nicely and finding the gaps in the field.

England will also be keeping half an eye on the DLS situation as well, in case the expected rain does become a problem.

Danni Wyatt-Hodge goes powerfully through the off side again, this time mullering the ball in front of square to the rope.

Good start for England but there is a suggestion that rain may not be far away. Let's hope not.

Meanwhile, on TMS, Henry Moeran is defending Canberra against its reputation of being a bit boring.

That Michelle Goszko's response is to say that there plenty of parking available probably doesn't help his cause. It's probably not what the tourist board would want to be seen as the main attraction to Australia's capital...

This first partnership is important for England. Maia Bouchier has found it a little bit hard on this tour and the stats don't reflect how good a player she really is.

Playing the best team in the world is always going to expose how good you are as a team and an individual.

England are up and running first ball as a thick outside edge from Maia Bouchier runs down to deep third and they scamper back for two.

Megan Schutt is getting the ball to hoop back in to the right-handers and restricts them to just a further single apiece in the over.

Thanks, Mike. Appreciate you handing over the keyboard in a timely manner.

It feels like 186 is big ask for England to avoid going 10-0 down in this multi-format series.

Now would be a good time for Maia Bouchier to find some form at the top of the order. She will face the first ball of the innings from Megan Schutt...

Well then, England openers Maia Bouchier and Danni Wyatt-Hodge are making their way to middle and Sam Drury is making his way to the keyboard* to take you through the second innings.

*they only let us have one.

Grace Harris hits a six every 11 deliveries in the final five overs of the innings in all T20s, only Sophie Devine and Laura Harris hit sixes at a more frequent rate at the backend of an innings.

England were better than previous games in the field. Just in the back end, there were a few mistakes. They started to leak now once the pressure was on.

It was a simple opportunity for Charlie Dean to catch Tahlia McGrath and she got a life.

Teams batting first at Manuka Oval in Women's T20Is:

• Scores over 150 - 6 wins, 1 loss, 1 tie
• Scores under 150 - 1 win, 7 losses

England required a 56-ball century from Danni Wyatt-Hodge to chase 179 in 2017, the only win chasing over 150 here in T20Is.

The partnership at the end between Tahlia McGrath and Grace Harris could be a match winning partnership. The 35 runs from the 18th and 19th overs are detrimental.

If the Australia spinners can get something out of this surface it could prove very tricky for England.

Harris can't add another boundary from the final ball of the innings, she hits hard down to long-on and the Australia batters run two.

A fine finish for the home side, having been 114-5 the pair of McGrath and Harris added 71 from 35 balls to make their side firm favourites in Canberra.

Harris whacks Bell through the covers for another four, endures a dot ball then offers a magnificent ramp shot to add another boundary to her count.

Sophie Ecclestone's final over, conceding 18 runs, is the most expensive over of her T20I career.
