Feel free to keep taking sneaky looks in the last session of the day Louise.

So it has been a good afternoon for England as Australia wobbled from 66-0 to 99-5, but a gutsy partnership worth 63 runs so far for the sixth wicket has brought Australia back into it.

Which way will the rest of the day go? It is going to be a long last session as we have up to 100 overs to be bowled today, so a maximum of 42 still to come.

Can England claim the last five wickets and make it an excellent day or will Australia haul themselves into a strong position?

Australia:  162-5 (Jonassen 35, Healy 35).

Fall of wickets:  66-1 (Villani 33), 70-2 (Lanning 3), 84-3 (Bolton 36), 87-4 (Perry 5), 99-5 (Blackwell 7).

Bowling:  Brunt 15-6-44-1, Shrubsole 16-4-35-4, Cross 10-1-39-0, Elwiss 3-0-11-0, Marsh 9-0-17-0, Knight 5-2-14-0

"Australia are the in-form side but have played less Test match cricket than England, so if there is one format where England will fancy their chances it is this."

We've hit a spell of relative anonymity with tea looming after those three quick wickets after lunch. Laura Marsh is coming round the wicket to left-hander Jess Jonassen, which mixes it up a bit. Jonassen unfazed though and collects a pair. That should be tea time.

Heather Knight gives Alyssa Healy a bit of space and she clips it over the fielder at extra cover and to the boundary. A bit wayward this from Knight, as Healy pulls a full toss for another four. But there's some turn to finish with, which is promising.

"The Australian mindset now is to play these girls out. It might be time for England to think about a change in the bowling because they don't want this to be a partnership that takes Australia from a perilous position into something reasonable."

A few singles for Jess Jonassen and Alyssa Healy - the latter has a bit of a baseball swing to a short one from Laura Marsh, but it finds the pad. Jonassen is having none of that, and plays a textbook forward defensive to remind us that this is a four-day match.

With just one run from the previous three overs, Alyssa Healy will be relieved to pick up a single from Heather Knight. Jess Jonassen deals with one on her toes well - but it's just the single off the over.

Australia 145-5

Laura Marsh has Alyssa Healy waving at a wide one which is driven to point, where Kate Cross puts it down diving to her right. Not a gimme - but definitely a chance.

The over rate has picked up considerably with the two spinners on - which gives me less time to eat cake. Heather Knight has found her range and almost lures Jess Jonassen into one down the pitch, but the left-hander retreats at the last moment.

Laura Marsh finally relinquishes some runs, as Jess Jonassen trickles around the corner for four. It's a debut for Jonassen by the way, and she's holding up well.

Part-time bowler Heather Knight continues. And it's solid from the 24-year-old to keep the cork on the Australian pair.

England have slowed it down again, as Laura Marsh registers a fourth maiden from five overs. That doesn't mean this isn't becoming a dangerous partnership though.

Heather Knight replaces Kate Cross, who was ever so slightly lose. Alyssa Healy is finding her rhythm though and sends her to the long-on boundary. Knight has a little shout for lbw but it's not considered.

“Anya Shrubsole had gone off with a touch of calf cramp after falling in the final over of her spell after lunch and was replaced on the pitch by her fellow Bath team-mate Fran Wilson - but she's back on

“There’s been a touch of rain in the air throughout the day but the sun is doing its best to make an appearance from behind the clouds."

Laura Marsh is in a stingy mood. She just slows down the scoring with some disciplined off-spin.

"It is a really important phase of the match and Australia have not had to rely on their middle or lower order in this series as Perry and Lanning have been in such good form."

Alyssa Healy is getting a good amount of bat on to Kate Cross's deliveries, and sends the first ball of the over to the boundary. Healy is very much in form, having scored a century at Beckenmham in the week, and she collects a pair to finish the over.
