    The Australians aren't particularly confident.

  2. Australia review

    Eng 137-9

    Ash Gardner wants a review after hitting Lauren Filer on the back leg.

    Sharp turn again but has it done too much? We'll go to DRS to find out.

  3. Michelle Goszko
    Ex-Australia batter on BBC Sounds

    Alana King has bowled a lot of overs in a row. She's probably getting tired.

  4. Eng 135-9

    Aus need one wicket to win

    Change of angle for Alana King as she goes round the wicket to Lauren Bell.

    Same result, though, stubborn defence from Lauren Bell. So King goes back over.

    Still no good. Yet another maiden and Australia remain one wicket from victory and a clean sweep.

    Ex-Australia batter on BBC Sounds

    I'm getting quite stressed here.

  6. Eng 135-9

    Aus need one wicket to win

    On and on we go.

    Lauren Filer sees her way through another Ash Gardner maiden.

    This passage of play is doing wonders for the over rate.

  7. Eng 135-9

    Aus need one wicket to win

    Alana King still hasn't dismissed Lauren Bell in the series.

    She comes very close again, taking all the pace off and ragging one past the bat.

    But still no five-for.

  8. Eng 135-9

    Aus need one wicket to win

    The TV commentators have just said that Lauren Bell is the only England batter that Alana King has bowled to who she hasn't dismissed yet in the series.

    That's a pretty remarkable stat.

    A lot of chat going on in the middle.

  10. Eng 135-9

    Aus need one wicket to win

    Maiden from Ash Gardner but no wicket this time.

    As if to prove the last wicket was no fluke, the off-spinner tries another bouncer.

    This time it all looks a bit ugly as the ball doesn't get up and Lauren Filer swats it leg side but straight to a fielder.

  11. Eng 135-9

    Aus need one wicket to win

    Close but no joy for Alana King.

    An edge from Lauren Bell bounces just short of gully before the leggie rips one past the outside edge (yet again) to end the over.

    It's over to Ash Gardner...

  12. Michelle Goszko

    It's a bowl off between Ash Gardner and Alana King at the moment.

  13. Eng 134-9

    Aus need one wicket to win

    Lauren Bell sees out the Ash Gardner over.

    Both Gardner and Alana King have four wickets now. There's one wicket left to get.

    King will get her next shot at the honours board now...

    Ex-Australia batter on BBC Sounds

    That just sums up the whole summer for England. Australia's spinner bowled a bouncer and still got a wicket.

    WICKET

    Ecclestone c King b Gardner 18 (Eng 134-9)

    Sophie Ecclestone is bounced out by the off-spinner!

    So smart by Ash Gardner, surprising the England batter with a quicker, shorter ball.

    Very deliberately bowled and Ecclestone is rushed as she tries to pull it. Top edge and the ball loops gently to Alana King at mid-wicket.

    Australia are one wicket away...

    Gardner's surprise bouncer removes Ecclestone

  16. Henry Moeran
    Test Match Special commentator

    Sophie Ecclestone is a very competent batter when she gets stuck in.

  17. Eng 134-8

    Aus need two wickets to win

    Sophie Ecclestone is digging in for England and plays off the back foot through the covers for two.

    She ends the Alana King over with a quick single to mid-off. Australia fancy a run out but Lauren Filer puts in the dive to gets safely home.

    For the first time this series we can see everyone in the Australian dugout enjoying themselves.

  19. Eng 131-8

    Aus need two wickets to win

    After getting a bit too full in the over, Ash Gardner finds the perfect length last ball to Lauren Filer.

    It turns and spits up to hit the splice of the bat but the ball lands safely. Maiden.

    Alana King desperately wants that five-for. She deserves it.
