    You can sense through the crowd that this is a big period for England now.

  2. Eng 164-4 (target 260)

    Jonassen takes a rest with two overs of her allocation left, and Sarah Coyte returns for the final over before the batting powerplay. Sciver suddenly has to play herself in pretty rapidly - and opts to play out a maiden over. 96 needed from 90.

    I hate to correct you, Mike - but that's the Women's World Cup!

    The Women's Ashes trophy can be seen on this page.

    It'd be great if we had a close finish but you also feel that Australia are just two wickets away from a very good position in the game.

  5. Eng 164-4 (Greenway 19*, Sciver 0*)

    Greenway adds a three to her score, Sciver manages a leg bye - England need a round 96 from 96 balls. Don't touch that dial!

  7. Eng 160-4 (target 260)

    Greenway forces Perry off her legs, Erin Osborne gives chase and despite a stumble, just about manages to keep the ball millimetres off the rope without touching it, as the batsmen run three. Or does she? Four is signalled. 100 to win from 101 balls.

  8. Dan Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    That's a massive wicket for Australia. We say Sarah Taylor's England's gun batsmen but how many times does she not go on?

    WICKET

    Taylor lbw b Jonassen 43 (Eng 156-4)

    And just when it was going so well, Taylor is trapped back on the crease by slow left-armer Jonassen, that's absolutely plumb. It brings together Greenway and Natalie Sciver, who were ultimately the match-winning pair at Taunton.

  11. Eng 145-3 (target 260)

    A few umbrellas are going up - and perhaps sensing that if there is an interruption, a wicket could make all the difference on D/L, Lanning turns back to the pace of Ellyse Perry. Taylor adds a single, Greenway scampers a well-run three, and Taylor forces another two through the covers as Sarah Coyte fails to stop the ball at point with a sliding stop. A single to the cover sweeper takes Taylor to 38 and leaves 114 needed from 109 balls. If it rained now... England would be six ahead on D/L.

  12. Collective noun for wicketkeepers

    A handful. Or a clutch. Trying to think of some more pun-related nouns...

  13. Eng 139-3 (Taylor 34*, Greenway 4*)

    Jonassen spins down her seventh over - Australia look as though they're saving Perry for the powerplay, but it will be interesting to see who bowls at the other end. Three singles from the over.

    Hang on - there's a bit of rain in the air. And for those of you wondering, England are marginally ahead on Duckworth-Lewis - the par score having been 135-3 at the end of this over.

  14. Mel Jones
    Former Australia batter on BBC Test Match Special

    It's not going to be easy for England now. We're at a pivotal point in the game. Sarah Taylor only averages 27.5 in the Women's Championship at the moment but she's starting to get a move on now.

  15. Eng 136-3 (target 260)

    Charlotte Edwards descends from the dressing-room balcony to the England dug-out. Good placement from Greenway and Taylor keeps the scoreboard ticking, as does an innovative scoop to fine leg. Four from the over.

  16. Collective noun for a group of wicketkeepers?

  17. Eng 132-3 (Taylor 29*, Greenway 2*)

    Jonassen bowls her left-arm spin over the wicket to the left-handed Greenway, who fluently sweeps for a single - and goes back round the wicket to Taylor, serving up a full toss which Taylor hoists through mid-wicket for four. After three overs without a boundary, that's eased the pressure for England. 132 needed from 126 balls.

  18. Charles Dagnall
    BBC Test Match Special

    The pressure is building - the overs are dropping and the runs are not coming as quickly off the bat as England would like.

  19. Eng 126-3 (target 260)

    Left-hander Lydia Greenway is England's number five - can she dig England out of a hole, the way she did in Taunton on Tuesday? Just three singles from Schutt's over.
