AUSTRALIA WIN BY 63 RUNS
Series now level at 2-2 on points
Edwards (58) hits 46th ODI half-century
Lanning (104) scores sixth ODI century
Knight run out (Lanning direct hit) 38 (Eng 92-1)
And just when it was going so well, Knight hits the ball to short mid-wicket, and a direct hit from Lanning runs her out - not even a full-length dive can save the England vice-captain.

Quote MessageIf I was going to be picky about Charlotte Edwards, it's that she's only got nine hundreds and 46 fifties. Her conversion rate isn't that hot compared to Meg Lanning (who has six hundreds and seven fifties). It's almost Stephen Fleming-esque.

Quote MessageCharlotte is somebody who can handle pressure well. It's a big day, she needed to do well and she has. On a slow pitch, she's looked pretty good today.
Eng 88-0
And that's fifty for the England captain, from 68 balls - her 46th fifty in 187 ODIs brought up with a single. Knight is helping her along well with ones and two - she has 36 from 46 balls.
Australia turn to the pace of teenage seamer Holly Ferling - Knight hits the ball nearly straight to backward point, but a wild throw allows them to jog through for an unearned single. Keeper Healy needs to be alert to take a wild legside wide, a single takes Edwards to within two runs of her fifty, and Knight steers a two backward of point.

A tighter over for Australia, but England's openers remain on course - the required rate is about five and a half.
Australia are whistling through these overs of spin very rapidly - anyone who moans about slow over-rates in cricket can point to the women's game as an example of how it *can* be done - we've had 16 overs in under an hour, and not a drinks break in sight. Four singles taken, Jonassen has 0-12 from three.
Image source, Getty ImagesEdwards powerfully drives Osborne for four, then misses when she tries to cut a half-volley. A single takes her to 44 from 58 balls. Knight, supporting her captain well, nudges a two to third man and dabbing a single to cover, moving to 27 from 32. The Southern Stars rather need a wicket.
Edwards sweeps at Jonassen, Healy appeals for lbw but that was a little optimistic as (a) the ball was heading well down the leg side and (b) no leg-bye signal shows Edwards got a bit of bat on that one. Some good hustle between the wickets from England, who are going along nicely. Who's your money on?
Can anyone explain why Worcester is the furthest north where this series is being played?

Quote MessageKate Cross has returned [after a precautionary X-ray] and all is well, the ECB has confirmed. It’s nothing more then a bruise and the bowler will bat, if required.
After one over of Coyte, Australia opt for the twin-spin option and turn to left-arm spinner Jess Jonassen - England plunder three singles and a two from a rapid over.
Recently played the highest ever cricket match up Kilimanjaro with Heather Knight. She can certainly hit the ball.
Chris in London
A double change in the bowling as Australia turn to Erin Osborne's off-spin - and after a couple of singles, when Osborne drags one down short, Knight pulls her for four through long leg to bring up the fifty stand. The vice-captain pinches the strike with a single off the last ball, and England are only a shade under the required run rate, which is currently 5.35.
