Time for a bowling change and Kate Cross gets a chance to show what she can do. It is her first bowl of the innings and she starts with a maiden.

Left-handers XI
We are talking left-handed cricketers. And this is a great effort from Sagar Sunar.
Australia 47-3 (lead by 153 runs)published at 16:25
A defensive prod forwards and the ball balloons up to England captain Charlotte Edwards at silly point. She wheels away in celebration, but the ball bounced off Alex Blackwell's pad, not bat.
To make things worse for England, Blackwell then dispatches a four through the cover boundary two balls later.

The flags are fluttering at Canterbury, most players are wearing jumpers and it is dark, miserable and horrible. This is definitely not enjoyable batting conditions.
Even less enjoyable when you have two in-form bowlers in Anya Shrubsole and Katherine Brunt steaming in with tremendous accuracy. Nicole Bolton flicks one away off the pads for a welcome relief and a welcome run for the tourists. Their lead is now 149 runs.

A big lbw appeal as Alex Blackwell goes defensive. Bowler Anya Shrubsole and wicketkeeper Sarah Taylor are convinced, but it may have been missing leg stump and umpire Alex Wharf is not interested.

Charles called for some bowling at the body. Well, the English bowlers must have a direct line to TMS as Katherine Brunt sends in a full toss, waist high.
But Nicole Bolton sees it coming and punishes the cheekiness by sending it to the rope.

BBC Test Match Special"I'd like to see Katherine Brunt bowl a throat ball - round the wicket and at the body."

We said that more rain could be coming and it is a dark, bleak day in Canterbury. The floodlights are already on at full power. Australia look like they could do with another break as this is a testing time for them.
As Charles mentioned, it is fantastic bowling from both Katherine Brunt and Anya Shrubsole. Alex Blackwell survives an lbw shout from the latter.

Flooding in Kentpublished at 16:08
It's amazing that we have any play this afternoon - elsewhere in Kent there has been flooding following the torrential downpours which affected the area this morning. More showers are forecast for later too.

Lucky, lucky. England's Katherine Brunt can see the funny side as Australia's Alex Blackwell, playing in her 200th international match, gets away with one.
She met the ball on the up and does not have any control and can only steer it towards the slips. But it narrowly goes past Natalie Sciver at second slip and she survives.

Before the untimely weather delay, we were talking about your favourite left-handed cricketers. Well, let's get the chat going again.
Our Test Match Special pundits have been busy during the break and have picked a left-handed XI. All will be revealed soon. But keep sending in your suggestions for those who should be picked.
Australia 21-3 (Brunt 2-11, Shrubsole 1-6)published at 15:59
Nine of the 12 wickets England have taken in this match have gone to either Katherine Brunt or Anya Shrubsole.
The weather delay has cost us about 50 overs, but we can still go on until 19:30 BST so get comfortable, make sure you have got your drinks to hand and relax and enjoy.

England have hauled themselves back into the match but need to keep applying the pressure.
They think they have their fourth wicket when Nicole Bolton swings at one and the ball ends up in Sarah Taylor's hands with the wicketkeeper standing up behind the stumps.
But there was no contact. And England are denied.

BBC Test Match Special"She chased a wide one, had a little nibble and it's been caught behind the wicket. It wasn't a great stroke but Perry's natural game is to keep things ticking along. It's good to see the game moving, wickets or runs."
WICKET Perry c Taylor b Shrubsole (Aus 19-3)published at 15:46 British Summer Time 13 August 2015
A four off the first ball since we restarted, but now Ellyse Perry is heading off the field. It was wide from Anya Shrubsole, not the best ball she has bowled in this match, but it does not matter.
Perry takes a wild swipe, gets a thin touch and it is held by wicketkeeper Sarah Taylor.
That is five wickets in the match now for Shrubsole.
