Off-spinner Danielle Hazell will take the new ball for England, as she has in the other T20 internationals. Alyssa Healy and Elyse Villani are Australia's openers. I need to watch my spelling here - the Southern Stars have an Alyssa, an Elyse and an Ellyse (Perry) in their ranks.

After a brief "huddle", England take the field at Stadium Australia - where the fans are slowly trickling in, but at the moment are rather dwarfed in a stadium which holds 80,000 or so. But many are staking out their seats ahead of the men's game which follows this contest.

And a quick question from me, for you to ponder - who would be your nomination for player of the series, taking the Test, ODIs and T20s into account?

Keep listening to TMS during the short break between innings - as there's an interview with former Australia all-rounder Lisa Sthalekar about plans for a possible women's version of the Indian Premier League involving the best players in the world.

"Hazell had to have a swing there, it was the old adage of 'you miss, I hit'. I don't think Australia will as easy a task of knocking this off as they did at the MCG. The outfield is slower, and the spinners and Jenny Gunn will be tricky if they get their lines right."

Rene Farrell, take a bow - she finishes with figures of 3-0-15-4, the joint third best Aussie bowling figures in women's Twenty20 internationals., external

Rene Farrell, who lit the blue touchpaper with three wickets for eight runs in her first two overs, can consider herself unlucky to not have been called back for a second spell before this, the last over. Gunn and Hazell swipe a couple of singles, before Gunn brings up three figures, powerfully lifting a four over point. She smears a single to long-on off the penultimate delivery, and Hazell is bowled heaving at the last ball of the innings. Australia will need 102 to win.

Megan Schutt returns from what Charles Dagnall on TMS is calling the Edwards End (I was obviously wrong with my Jonny Wilkinson guess) for the penultimate over. Some good line and length from the 21-year-old from Adelaide means England can only find two singles from the over.

Gunn and Hazell plunder three singles against Perry, one coming off a no-ball, which earns England a free hit. Hazell swings and misses at the free-hit ball and Perry strays with a wide. She finishes with 0-23.

Osborne, a tidy off-spinner, to complete her spell, and she does a great job for the Aussies, restricting the England eighth-wicket pair to two singles apiece. Osborne finishes with 1-25.

"At the moment, this is some thoughtless batting from England. They are just hitting it to fielders and running."

Ellyse Perry returns to the attack, and after those two run-outs, Australia are livewires in the field. Hazell can't pierce the field, and after four dot balls, attempts another kamikaze single when she hits the ball straight to backward point. Had the throw hit, Hazell would have been out by yards. Perry boosts England's total with a wide, but Gunn can't get the last ball away.

"England could be struggling to reach three figures here."

"I've played men's cricket all my life and I absolutely love it. You pick up a lot of banter. I tried not to bring it into women's cricket - I was surprised how absent it was. I've sometimes had to write letters of apology in county cricket. But, it's developing, especially between England and Australia."

Jenny Gunn is England's number nine - she normally bats above Hazell, I wonder if she's still struggling with the injury which ruled her out of the last game? Hazell doubles her score with a single.

England's two blonde off-spinning Danielles are reunited at the wicket as Danielle Hazell joins Danielle Wyatt. But there are still all sorts of problems running between the wickets as Wyatt pushes to mid-on and is run out by a direct hit from acting captain Meg Lanning.

"I'm not sure if that is a bad call by Danielle, or if Nat just assumed the single was on. I don't think there was a run there. I'd like to know who called it."

Wyatt hits Osborne straight to extra cover and doesn't run, Sciver was halfway down the track and is easily run out by fielder Alex Blackwell, who didn't have to move. It ends a promising innings of 28 from 33 balls by the Surrey all-rounder.

Holly Ferling to return from what (in the absence of official names for the ends) Charles Dagnall on TMS has christened the (Cathy) Freeman End, after the Aussie runner's success there in the 2000 Olympics. (He's not giving away the name of the other end yet, but I'd take a wild guess it might pay tribute to a World Cup-winning drop-kick from a former Hampshire Schools fly-half).

Sciver helps herself to a two and a single, Wyatt can only chop a full toss straight to mid-off, but dabs a single to third man. Ferling has finished her spell with figures of 0-12.
