Summary

  • 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

  1. Aus 205-2 (Knight 6-0-32-0)published at 43 overs

    A ripple of applause around Bristol for the hundred partnership as Perry smacks Knight for a single past the non-striker. Knight will be pleased not to concede boundaries - and Lanning misses an attempted big blast as she steps across to the off side - but England are just desperate for a breakthrough. With Australia having two well-set batters, wickets in hand and power to come, this could be a very big target for the hosts to chase.

  2. Aus 202-2 (Lanning 84*, Perry 36*)published at 42 overs

    Kate Cross returns to the attack, she has three overs left. Perry and Lanning plunder some singles to take Australia past 200 and to within one run of their century stand.

    This sounds very cliched, but I'm taking each game as it comes, enjoying my cricket and helping Sussex out. Towards the end of my career with England, it was not as enjoyable as I wanted but the break has refreshed me.

  4. Aus 197-2published at 41 overs

    England have to juggle their bowlers for the last 10 overs - indeed, they'll need a sixth bowler if it goes the distance. Edwards decides to keep Brunt's final over up her sleeve, and turns back to Heather Knight's off-spin - three singles are followed by three dot balls from the vice-captain.

    Meg Lanning has a great strike rate in one-day internationals - it was 97 before today.

  6. Aus 193-2 (Lanning 80*, Perry 31*)published at 40 overs

    Shrubsole to bowl her last over, and she finishes with 1-41 as Australia, on cruise control, milk six singles.

    And good news if you're an Afghanistan fan - they've qualified for next year's ICC World Twenty20 in India after beating Papua New Guinea in qualifying. The win was brought up with a six - well done them. The final place is between Oman and Namibia, who play this afternoon.

    Aus 188-2

    More frustration for Brunt, who can yell with the best of them when things aren't going her way, as Lanning edges, Sarah Taylor gets half a hand to it but can't hold on. Brunt is stuck on 99 ODI wickets - she has 0-43 from nine.

    Unless Perry's bat was in the air, that full-length dive will have saved her... and it does.

  9. Umpire reviewpublished at 38.4 overs

    England gamble on keeping Brunt on for her ninth over - it'll leave them short for when she usually bowls at the death - and the Yorkshire pace bowler isn't happy to have a wide signalled. Perry pushes a quick single and has to dive for her ground as the throw from Kate Cross hits the stumps, they're going upstairs...

    A trio of inflatable purple dragons look on as Perry and Lanning take three singles from Shrubsole's ninth over.

    Having taken a break from the game in 2013, I'm easing myself back into cricket this year - I've trained with the Middlesex academy played a bit for Sussex this summer. The one thing I didn't do last summer was take a summer holiday, which was ludicrous.

  12. Aus 176-2 (Lanning 70*, Perry 25*)published at 37 overs

    Knight takes a rest and Katherine Brunt's back on to share powerplay bowling duties with Shrubsole. But the field restrictions mean it's all too easy for the Aussie third-wicket pair to rack up the singles, while a couple of lapses in the field - even one from the usually peerless Lydia Greenway - allow a couple of extra runs. Brunt's not happy.

    Australia's men have passed 100 without loss in their tour game against Derbyshire. David Warner is 63 not out and his opening partner Shaun Marsh has 36. Follow live coverage here.

    Aus 170-2

    It's time for the batting powerplay - and time for the fans to wave their "4" cards again as Lanning lifts the recalled Shrubsole over mid-on for four. This is looking ominous from the Southern Stars skipper, another four and a single give her 66 from 64 balls.

    Lanning is in the form of her life. She's still so young too.

    50 for Meg Lanningpublished at 35 overs

    Aus 160-2

    It's not the classical way to bring up your fifty - Lanning nicks one past the keeper for four, but that's her half century from 57 balls, with seven fours. A smeared sweep brings her for more - and having bowled her first three overs for 11, that Knight over cost 14.

  18. Aus 146-2 (Lanning 48*, Perry 18*)published at 34 overs

    Perry, who we know can be aggressive with the best of them, is still biding her time against the spinners, while Lanning is more confident, whacking a four wide of extra cover to move to 48.

    And with figures of 1-50 from her 10 overs, that's the end of Rebecca Grundy.

    My gut feeling is that this is a 230 pitch. They might even get past that if they continue building.

  20. Aus 140-2 (Lanning 43*, Perry 17*)published at 33 overs

    With the batting powerplay on the horizon, Australia remain watchful against Knight's off-spin for now. Three from the over, this stand is worth 37. And it was about now on Tuesday that the Aussies started running themselves out...
