"The lead has nicely gone up now. These are perfect conditions for Australia, the ball is old enough and they want to face that. There is sunshine, the outfield is drying up and the bowlers are a little bit weary this morning."

It's so sunny and bright today, one spectator is sheltering under a brolly. Multi-purpose - it was being used to deflect the rain yesterday. Katherine Brunt is struggling for her radar early on... a couple of full tosses being dispatched by Jess Jonassen who bags a boundary and a two into the off side.

Anya Shrubsole gets us under way and is on the money with a yorker which Jess Jonassen digs out. But the young buck is not going to be bogged down and hits the first runs of the day with a boundary.

If you want to talk about great anti-climaxes, or today's action, there are many ways you can get involved.

It's the most notorious duck in Test cricket. Sixty-seven years ago Don Bradman needed just four against England to make it 7,000 runs in Tests and a career average of 100. Eric Hollies took him second ball and it was a 99.94 average for the great Australian.

It's probably cricket's most famous anti-climax, but what other moments in the sport have been built up only to disappoint?

Despite Australia putting themselves into a strong position, Katherine Brunt shone for England - putting in a performance which came in for some pretty high praise from commentator Jim Maxwell.

The Australian said: "She is very strong, bowls as fast as anyone in the women's game and brings an energy to the game that is refreshing and enlivening for the team.

"What I like is not just her bowling but also her belligerence that gave England's innings a little bit of a sting in the tail.

"She is Botham-esque"

"The pitch has held up really well over the four days. There are cracks but none of them have widened. We've seen a few stay low but not enough to worry anyone. The spinners' marks towards the Nackington Road end can be used tactically. Captains should be using the spinners from the Pavilion End and then from the Nackington Road end rotate the seamers."

But what will the weather do? Well, we should get a full day's cricket after yesterday's downpours.

Here's BBC Weather's Peter Sloss: "It looks like being dry for much of the time and always a good deal of cloud cover with just a little sunshine breaking through. There will be a few showers developing this afternoon across southeast England but difficult to say if Canterbury will catch one. Feeling warm and humid, top temperature 23 Celsius with light winds."

Deck-chair weather.

But we're not here to talk about a number three with a questionable technique (only joking, Steve)... we're here to take you through the final day of the Women's Test from Canterbury. Australia begin with a lead of 196 and knowing there's 109 overs to be bowled in the day. When do they declare? I reckon they'll fancy another 20-30 runs, and will put England in an hour or so before lunch.

We start the day with some big news from down under... Steve Smith has been appointed as the next Australian Test captain, with David Warner his deputy. More on that breaking story here.
