Charles Dagnall
BBC Test Match Special"Perry is going to be trying to take the ball away from the right-hander. The key is that with the slope, you think you have to play at things that you don't have to."

Great start by Ellyse Perry who shapes one past the outside edge of Heather Knight's bat.

Journalist Melinda Farrell on TMS: "Jess is only very young and she wasn't over-awed by the occasion yesterday. She's such a talent, and she offers a lot with her left-arm spin too. When she came out to bat, the situation was a bit iffy for her team but she stayed calm and built some good partnerships."

BBC Test Match Special"I can't believe Jess Jonassen didn't show more intent when she had the chance to take two on 98. What an unfortunate way to go."

One more ball and the Aussies are called in - giving England an uncomfortable 10 minutes or so before lunch.

Jonassen lbw Brunt 99 (Aus 274-9)
Poor Jess Jonassen. She deserves a century on debut but doesn't get one as Katherine Brunt nips one into her pads and the finger goes up. Looked to be hitting middle of middle. The 197-ball vigil is ended.

A single off Katherine Brunt moves Jess Jonassen to 99 not out. Nerves must be kicking in now. She is given the strike back almost straight away...

Aus 272-8 (Shrubsole 4-63)published at 12:40
There's a gentle breeze across the ground, which Anya Shrubsole is trying to harness for her swing bowling. When she pitches too full, however, Jess Jonassen carves a single into the off side where a sweeper is in place to cover the boundary.

Katherine Brunt - one of the fastest female bowlers in world cricket - is testing the patience of Kristen Beams outside off stump. Maiden over.

Izzy Westbury
Middlesex captain on BBC Test Match Special"Jonassen seems to be the most calm and collected person out there. But both these opening bowlers are looking dangerous."
Aus 271-8 (98 overs)published at 12:33
Anya Shrubsole gets us up and running, with the two debutants Jess Jonassen and Kristen Beams at the crease.
As Beams hits a straight single to get the scoreboard ticking, three England fans belt out 'Jerusalem'. Beers in hands. Charlotte Edwards appreciates the gesture and claps them at the conclusion.
Jonassen continues where she left off with two down to backward point. Would have been four but for the wet outfield.
