  1. England 74-5 (Beams 10-3-11-0)published at 15:40

    England have really settled into an impressive rhythm now. Elwiss takes no run from the over, but it won't bother her, as she's shown she can find the runs when she needs to.

    Meg Lanning puts herself in the attack, to end this period of double-ended spin. Elwiss creates a leg bye. Greenway swings a streaky drive which thick edges short of slip, gets hit on the thigh pad outside the line and once again edges just short of slip. Nervy stuff. Greenway has reached her century (of balls received).

    If Elwiss were a beautiful art deco facade, Greenway is providing the bricks and mortar right now. Beams sends down six balls, Greenway sends back six dead ends. Maiden over.

    Elwiss is looking relaxed. She drops one in short of the slip fielder with some beautifully soft hands for two. Jonassen sends one down with plenty of air and Elwiss crisply drives to the extra cover boundary. Stirring stuff from the English woman.

    Beams is shouting at the top of her lungs, wanting lbw on Greenway. It's high and outside off and clips the flap of the pad. Once again she's claiming, before turning one past the edge. Lovely bowling.

  11. England 66-5 (Elwiss 29*, Greenway 13)published at 15:23

    Elwiss really has her eye in as she punches one off to mid-wicket from right in front of the stumps before turning another way to square leg. Only the latter garners a run.

    "It was a good move by Australia to give themselves so much time to bowl England out. They have given themselves the best possible chance."

    A hairy moment for Greenway as she's right in the middle of her wicket, not playing a shot, as Beams thuds one into the pad. It's a bouncy one though, and that probably saves her. Two more runs off that over as well. Flying along.

    "Georgia Elwiss is in her debut Test and is showing more grit than we've seen from others."

    Jess Jonassen's left-arm spin comes into the attack. Elwiss steps back and cuts to third man. There's a brief moment where it looks like it might be close to slip, but it's fine. Elwiss is after Jonassen - a really nice drive to the deep cover boundary. It's raining runs in Canterbury.

    Beams is generating a bit of turn, but say it quietly, this England pair are looking reasonably comfortable. So much so, Elwiss even scores a run, England's first in 23 balls.

    This could well be a frustrating period for Australia, as this time Ferling finds Greenway unmovable. Add another scratch in the maiden over column.
