"It just skidded on down the hill and I think that was Natalie Sciver's undoing. It was a tired-looking shot."

It's as though the Australians have realised they don't get paid overtime - they are racing through their overs now. Three maidens in a row.

Another swift maiden over for Sarah Coyte, who has a catcher stationed at a third slip/gully position. All looks a bit odd, especially as the fielder is wearing a helmet.

"You just sense that Georgia Elwiss's arrival at the crease has galvanised Natalie Sciver."

Jess Jonassen must have somewhere to be. She races through a maiden over quicker than you can say shanewatsonisoutlbw.

A stroke of luck for Georgia Elwiss when she almost chops on to Sarah Coyte, instead taking a single to fine leg when her shot was aimed through the covers.

Australia's Jess Jonassen, who was out on 99 earlier today, concedes just a single from her latest set of six. But I'm not sure how - she was clubbed to a fielder time and again by Nat Sciver.

"For England, it's about sustaining this partnership until the end of the day. If they can do that, they're in the game."

This partnership is worth only 30 runs, but it has really stalled the Australian juggernaut. Georgia Elwiss continues to be the aggressor with a back-foot punch into the off side and she sets off like a train to take a single. She wanted two. Not happening.

Former Australia keeper Ian Healy is sat in the comfy seats, looking like he's just got dressed for a round of golf. He'd have been proud of Natalie Sciver's pull for four when Jess Jonassen drops short. Decent little knock this.

"I think it's time to give Perry a rest. She's almost trying too hard."

Indifferent bounce? Ellyse Perry, one of the quickest on the circuit, sees a half-tracker die in the surface and trickle through to the keeper. Soul-destroying for the bowler. Here's something to cheer her though... of her 90 legal deliveries, 76 have been dot balls. Not too shabby.

Time for a bit of twirl from Jess Jonassen, who had a couple of overs before the tea-break. It's high, loopy, left-arm fodder, but Natalie Sciver isn't tempted to go for a big stroke - she just bunts a single.

"It would be really nice to have a pitch with a bit more bounce in it. Perry is having to bend everything she's got."

Ellyse Perry looks a little frustrated as she over-steps her bowling mark for a second time. With three wickets already, she's clearly striving for what would be a second Test five-fer. Quick and nipping the ball in, she's a tricky customer.

"What I'm liking about Elwiss is that she's just getting her hands through the ball, without being too elaborate. It makes a difference, it just keeps the momentum in the game."

Holly Ferling, white ribbon in her hair, charges in and nips one back into the pads of Nat Sciver. Loud appeal. Not out. England need to reach 125 to avoid the follow-on by the way and we have 34 overs left in the day.

Georgia Elwiss continues in a positive vein when the ball is too straight and whipped through the leg side for two. Then she picks up two more in a similar area. Clearly strong on her pads.

Ellyse Perry is bowling heat-seeking yorkers almost at will - the 70mph toe-crushers being well dug out by Georgia Elwiss who is playing with a smile. Good probing stuff. Two from the over - a single and a no-ball.
