  1. Eng 45-0 (Edwards 33*, Knight 11*)

    Edwards sees off the rest of the over, and England are through the powerplay unscathed - and sitting pretty. Australia were 38-0 at this stage.

  2. The chase is on

    England have been set 260 by Australia, but they have reached this total before, having successfully chased the 272 New Zealand set them in 2006-07. The Aussies themselves hold the record as they chased 289 when playing New Zealand in 2012-13.

    England run chase

  3. Eng 45-0

    Australia make their first bowling change as medium-pacer Sarah Coyte replaces Schutt - and her first ball is a juicy full toss which Edwards despatches through mid-wicket for four. In fact, it's the fourth time in five overs that Edwards has hit a boundary off the first ball of the over. There's no let-up for Coyte as Edwards whacks the next ball for four more through the covers.

  5. Eng 37-0 (target 260)

    Still Perry for her fifth over, and Edwards square-drives her third boundary of the day, before picking up a hard-run two through the covers. A last-ball single means her 25 has come from 38 balls; Knight has 11 from 16.

  7. Eng 30-0 (Edwards 18*, Knight 11*)

    If it's there to hit, Edwards will hit it... the England captain slaps a full toss through the covers for four. Steady so far from England, on the way to their highest ODI run chase.

  8. Pup's gone

    Australia captain Michael Clarke is out for 16 in his side's tour game against Derbyshire - becoming the first ever victim for 19-year-old Will Davis. There's worse scalps...

  9. Eng 25-0 (target 260)

    Knight plays out the over unscathed.

    That's a lesson in staying and waiting for the decision.

  11. Eng 25-0

    Knight takes a few steps away from the middle as though she's walking off, then pauses... the TV umpire signals "not out" and the England vice-captain resumes her innings.

  12. Umpire review

    Has  Knight nicked one behind? An obvious edge, keeper Alyssa Healy takes the ball low but doesn't appeal herself, Perry and the fielders appeal and the umpire sends it upstairs... was the catch taken cleanly?

  13. Get Involved

  14. Eng 23-0 (Edwards 12*, Knight 10*)

    The skipper finds the boundary for the first time as Edwards dabs Schutt through the vacant slip region for four. The captain, playing her 187th ODI, has a huge smile on her face. All about building a platform at this stage.

    With a run chase like this, you want one of your top four batting through. But with Charlotte Edwards, she's not going to get full value for her shots here today. Maybe she should make better use of the powerplay and then let others bat around her.

  16. Eng 17-0 (target 260)

    Edwards nudges a single off her legs, Knight rotates the strike to move into double figures - and Lanning posts herself at short mid-wicket to try to cut off Edwards's patented "single off the legs" shot. But when Perry strays to the off side, Edwards cuts fiercely and it takes a great stop by Sarah Coyte at backward point to cut off a probable boundary.

  17. Selfie with Starc

  18. Eng 14-0 (Edwards 4*, Knight 9*)

    Schutt finds the edge - and it's a lifeline for Knight as the ball flies between the keeper and the solitary slip, and away for four. A let-off - or a good omen? A single and a leg bye keep the score ticking.

  19. How's stat?!

  20. Eng 8-0 (target 260)

    Now, is that a warning? Perry aborts her run-up just as she's about to enter her delivery stride, and shows the ball to Knight who's an inch or two short of the crease as she backs up. Edwards is under way with a two off her legs, adding another two to level her partner's score.
