    "These teams don't play this format very often and it's about who adapts quicker. Australia have adjusted better. England don't look like they have made the mental shift on how to adjust your game."

    And that is stumps. Australia walk off for the day with a lead of 106 runs.

    A long knock from Anya Shrubsole (47 balls) is ended when she is pinned in front. She didn't score any but she did hold up an end and allow Katherine Brunt time to plunder a few extra runs.

    Kate Cross, the England number 11, takes two balls to get a single. Anya Shrubsole is still on nought. Only when 43 deliveries have gone by do such innings become interesting.

    "That was a perfect delivery, hitting the top of off. Katherine Brunt was caught on the crease and didn't move her feet as much as she had been. But Brunt has brought some positivity to the innings."

    A plucky knock is ended when Coyte gets one to nip back in, stay slightly low and peg back Katherine Brunt's off stick.

    Katherine Brunt goes for the short ball, hoicking it towards the fielder at long leg. It drops short though... just the single and a wry smile.

    I'm told the record Anya Shrubsole is blocking her way towards is 68 balls.

    Against India last summer, Anya Shrubsole scored 14 off 70 balls. Katherine Brunt is shouldering the burden of run-scoring on her own as she slices three backward of point.

    The record for the longest duck in men's Test cricket is 77 balls, by New Zealand's Geoff Allott against South Africa in 1999. If anyone knows what the record is in women's cricket, please get in touch and let us know.

    Anya Shrubsole is 0 not out from 42 balls - she's third on the list of longest innings without getting off the mark.

    This is good from Katherine Brunt - she steps back in her crease and wallops Jess Jonassen through the off side for four. Anya Shrubsole is still to get off the mark. New ball is now due.

    A painful moment for Katherine Brunt when she gets an inside edge and the ball cannons into her foot. That'll bruise. Anya Shrubsole sways out of the way of a bouncer, then digs out a yorker from Holly Ferling. That's 36 balls without getting off the mark.

    Katherine Brunt does nothing by half. She bowls as fast as she can and even when taking a single with the bat, she belts the ball down the ground. It's effective though.

  17. Eng 150-8 (Brunt 23, Shrubsole 0)published at 18:58

    A heart-in-mouth moment for Katherine Brunt as she skews an attempted pull shot miles up in the air, but Aussie skipper Meg Lanning can't reel it in running back.

  18. Eng 149-8 (Jonassen 14-7-28-1)published at 18:54 British Summer Time 12 August 2015

    Anya Shrubsole is playing herself into the role of number one nightwatchman here. She's blocking everything with an assured confidence. That's 28 balls without score now.

    It's not all about England v Australia - in Galle, the first Test between India and Sri Lanka got under way today. 

    It was an excellent day for the tourists, who skittled Sri Lanka for 183 and then reached 128-2 at the close.

    Ravichandran Ashwin did the damage with the ball, taking 6-46, with Shikhar Dhawan hitting an unbeaten 53.

    Katherine Brunt creams the ball through the covers for four. In the shortest form of the game, her strike-rate is 99 - so she certainly knows how to connect with the ball.
