  2. England 68-4 (Greenway 14, Sciver 7)published at 15:54

    Have England forgotten how to run? We haven't had a single for...wait for it...16.4 overs. Even more bizarre, this exact pair were at the crease in the first ODI - and put on 122 in 21 overs. Weird. Anyhow, it's another maiden.

    Finally, finally, we have movement on the scoreboard as Natalie Sciver eyes up the last ball of Holly Ferling's over and slashes it down to third man, where it's hauled in just short of the rope.

    "We're at a standstill here...

    "England are drowning in dot balls."

  6. England (Coyte 8-5-11-1)published at 15:46

    More dots than a ladybird convention. Greenway blocks out another maiden from Coyte. Make that one scoring shot off 52 balls...

  7. England 65-4 (Greenway 14, Sciver 4)published at 15:44

    The good ship England has run aground here. Ferling propels down another maiden, and England have managed one scoring shot in the last 46 balls. Treacle.

    Simon Reed, Hartlepool:  Who would you like to hear guest commentating on Test Match Special (a real person or fictional character)? I would quite fancy Alan Partridge.

    What would Alan have made of that weird bowled/caught behind dismissal of Charlotte Edwards? 'A wicket! And another one!'

    Tighter than a wallaby's pouch from Sarah Coyte - that's her third maiden in a row.

    "That's classic Nat Sciver - it's very simple, classical, she waits for the ball and plays through it. I don't think there's been a better shot than that."

  11. England 65-4 (Schutt 9-4-18-1)published at 15:35

    Natalie Sciver finally gets off the mark after 13 deliveries with a lovely flowing  cover drive that races away to the boundary.

    "The three players England would want to stay there - Heather Knight, Sarah Taylor and Charlotte Edwards - are all back in the hutch."

  14. England 61-4 (Greenway 14, Sciver 0)published at 15:25

    The new batter is Natalie Sciver. This is a very sticky situation for England now, with all their most experienced players back in the hutch and Australia's first-innings score of 274 looming far in the distance, like a mirage as England plod through the desert. What they need is a real heads-down, teeth-gritted, learn-on-the-job partnership.

    Edwards b Schutt 30 (Eng 61-4)

    Things really heading south for England now. A faintly comical end for Charlotte Edwards, who is subject to a strong caught-behind appeal before everyone realises that the ball has nuzzled the off stump and disturbed the bail. That's the big wicket for Australia.

  19. England 61-3 (trail by 213)published at 15:16

    A stroke of luck for England as Greenway again is tempted into reaching for a wide delivery and gets an edge that flies just past the outstretched mitt of Meg Lanning at slip. 

  20. England 57-3 (Schutt 6-2-14-0)published at 15:13

    Georgia Elwiss and Anya Shrubsole are engrossed in a crossword book on the England balcony: Elwiss taking the 'filler-in' role with the pen, Shrubsole seemingly taking the lead with the answers. On the pitch, England are nearly '4 Down' as Megan Schutt slides one past the outside edge of Charlotte Edwards.
