Maia Bouchier's nightmare tour continues.

That's a cracker of a delivery. It's seamed, gone straight through bat and pad. It's a tentative step from Maia Bouchier, a sign of a player not in good form.

Maybe that was the plan, a few looser deliveries, let her get comfortable and then come out with that.

There's been too many balls that haven't forced the batters to make a decision.

Kim Garth is getting the ball to swing away from the England right-handers nicely now.

She draws a play and miss from Maia Bouchier to end the over, the England opener pushing at one she could have left.

Good first over from Darcie Brown, who was so impressive in the first innings.

Pace and a bit of movement off the seam too for the 21-year-old quick.

Maia Bouchier is able to get off the mark with a pull to fine leg, a bye is the only other run from it.

It's amazing what can happen when you catch a cricket ball.

I think it's going to be about partnerships for England. They need to make sure they rotate the strike.

Play and a miss from Tammy Beaumont as Kim Garth gets the ball to swing away considerably from back of a length.

Loose from Beaumont and she'll be glad not to nick that.

England are away first ball as Tammy Beaumont cuts Kim Garth behind square for two.

It's been a tough series for Maia Bouchier. She's struggled to get runs and struggled on the field yesterday.

Here come England openers Tammy Beaumont and Maia Bouchier.

The tourists will likely have to bat for the vast majority of the next two days to avoid defeat and a series sweep.

Top effort from Ecclestone to register her third five-for. She toiled away and bowled 44.3 overs in this innings. She's bowled more overs in an innings just once before, 46.2 overs v Australia when she picked up 5-129 in the first innings in last Ashes Test in Nottingham.

Australia have emerged on the boundary edge and Alyssa Healy gets them together in a huddle.

They need 10 wickets for a 16-0 sweep, England need 270 just to make them bat again.

Whilst Australia have a mammoth lead, they've collapsed today.

For the first time on the trip, England have been the better side.

Third five-wicket haul for Sophie Ecclestone in her Test career, all three against Australia:

• 5-63 v Australia (2nd innings) - Nottingham, Jun 2023
• 5-129 v Australia (1st innings) - Nottingham, Jun 2023
• 5-143 v Australia (1st innings) - MCG, 2025

Magnificent effort from England on the third morning.

They took the last five Australia wickets for just 18 runs. A great response after a very difficult day two.

England have bowled well this morning. They'll take some confidence from that going into the second innings. Sophie Ecclestone and Lauren Filer have been excellent with the ball again.

I don't know how England are going to play this. They can't really sit back, they need to score runs. Australia are very much in the driving seat.
