Laura Marsh adds a bit of zip to her spin and it almost catches out Jess Jonassen, but it misses the edge. A tidy maiden from the off-spinner.

Jess Jonassen clips Kate Cross to mid-wicket for a single. I noted earlier that she's been out of form in this series so far, but she has picked up knocks of 79 and 21 in warm-up matches in the past few days.

Cross thinks she has Alyssa Healy lbw but it's heading down leg side, very much heading down leg side.

All change for England. It's time for Laura Marsh and a bit of off-spin. The idea will be to stop Australia finding a rhythm with this burgeoning partnership. It's a decent plan, as Marsh collects a maiden.

"The crowd has filled up on the banks surrounding the outfield in Canterbury and they’re in good voice and greet Katherine Brunt with rapturous applause as she trots back to the boundary, who acknowledges the crowd.

“There are a few cries of 'attack, attack, attack’ from some of the younger spectators who seem to coming back in their dozens from the very busy ice cream truck."

Anya Shrubsole fell over in her last over and was a bit cautious on her ankle afterwards. So it's Kate Cross with the ball in hand and Jess Jonassen casually sends her back down the ground to the rope. Cross recovers and sees out the rest of the over unscathed.

"What a turnaround. This has been wonderful to watch. But the danger for England is thinking that as they have five wickets they will be able to get the rest quickly, but Australia have got some good batters and bat all the way through their side."

A drinks break gives us a moment to take stock. After a decent start of putting on 66 for the first wicket, Australia then fell to 99-5. Signs of a response though as Jess Jonassen and Elyssa Healy have put on a 23-run partnership.

It looks like Kate Cross is coming into the attack.

England international Danielle Wyatt is loving the action. And Anya Shrubsole's bowling.

Brunt and Shrubsole still dovetailing the attack, with the latter bowling. Two quite wide down the leg side evade Elyssa Healy, but the straighter one is put away to long on. Shrubsole looks a little puffed out, grimacing a bit before her run-up.

Jess Jonassen finds the rope in the same place for the second successive over. Katherine Brunt is too full which allows Jonassen to add a single. The pair have a few words after that one - it all seems good natured.

Alyssa Healy moves off the mark with a three through mid-wicket and Jonassen once again hits the boundary with a sweet cover drive.

Twelve off that over.

Australia: 104-5 (Jonassen 12, Healy 0).

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 14-6-32-1, Shrubsole 15-4-30-4, Cross 7-1-26-0, Elwiss 3-0-11-0, Marsh 1-0-4-0.

Jess Jonassen frees the shoulders a tad and sends Anya Shrubsole to the extra cover boundary. Shrubsole won't be used to that. She does what any good bowler should do and moves a fielder by two inches - that'll sort it out.

Oh and this is close, coming around the wicket to the left-hander and it straightens up just too much, brushing past off stump and going for a bye.

"Another really big wicket. Alex Blackwell got herself into a bit of bother and she has got this tendency to walk across.

"She tried to work it around leg side to a ball that was way too full. It was pressure bowling from Katherine Brunt, she has been pitching it up and got great movement."

It was a well deserved wicket for Katherine Brunt, who has plugged away. There's no hawk-eye at Canterbury, so we can't tell for sure where that lbw was heading. Alyssa Healy, meanwhile, has headed to the crease and is through the over.

Anya Shrubsole is human. A rare dodgy one comes out of the hand wrong giving Jess Jonassen a volley into the leg side for two. She's nowhere near the next one though which explodes across her and past the outside edge.

Australia need an anchor, someone to really dig in. And Alex Blackwell could be that woman. The 31-year-old offers a few staunch defences before an off-cutter from Katherine Brunt goes into her pad. A small cry for lbw is ignored.

Anya Shrubsole is enjoying herself at the expense of the Aussie batters. Particularly the left-handers. Jess Jonassen, who has 5, 6 and 0 so far in this Ashes series, gets a leading edge that doesn't carry. Put another maiden in Shrubsole's column.
