    "Batting out for the draw is England's best hope. This partnership is absolutely crucial - it's between this and Nat Sciver to save the game."

    A change in bowler at the other end too, with Megan Schutt finding a bit of movement off the seam back into Winfield. The England batter does well though, administering a few forward defensives. Another maiden over - I think we might be saying that a few times this afternoon.

    Jess Jonassen showing she's not just handy with the bat as she comes on for some left-arm spin. It's a tidy maiden, but Greenway looks comfortable. Well, as comfortable as she's been since stepping to the crease.

    It looks uncomfortable for Greenway, but she fends one to the on side from Perry as she sneaks on to six. Winfield makes short work of a short one, pulling to the boundary - that might settle everyone down a bit. Maybe?

    "A brilliant athletic bit of fielding from Perry. But it was right for England to have taken that single - they need to keep things moving."

    A scrappy single for Greenway has Winfield scampering at the other end. A direct hit from fielder Perry would have run her out. It's the only run of the over. Survival stuff from England at the moment.

    "Greenway is not looking comfortable against Ellyse Perry."

  8. England 21-3 (Perry 7-2-14-2)published at 13:53

    Lydia Greenway has hit the ball with her pad more than her bat. Ellyse Perry has got her worried and one inside-edges off bat to pad. She then mistimes a drive, comes very close to edging and then takes one on the thigh - the latter gets a single.

    No sign of the pressure relenting. Lauren Winfield fends off all six deliveries from Sarah Coyte, but no run from the over.

    Well, I've barely had chance to thank Marc and say good afternoon to you all. We've been slightly distracted by this England collapse. Lydia Greenway is at the crease and, after a four first ball, is nervy - Ellyse Perry thinks she has her lbw but there is a shade of leg side about it. Greenway has a Test average of 15.42....

    "That's poor, that's down to a lack of concentration, she'll be disappointed. It's unlike Charlotte to reach for a wider delivery. It wasn't a particularly good ball. The two main batters for England are in the hut now."

    Oh Lottie, Lottie, Lottie. First ball of the session and captain Charlotte Edwards decides to wave at one which is well wide of off stump from Ellyse Perry. There's an edge and it's in the gloves.

    In the Women's Ashes down under, Sarah Taylor scored just one run over the two innings. She did get 70 against India last summer though (30 &40).

    I'm off for some lunch now, so Chris Osborne will take you through the afternoon session. Enjoy.

    How ironic that the men's game is scheduled for five days and ends in two and a bit, while the women's game, scheduled for just four days, could run out of time.

    The Australian men's team are scheduled to be in action against Northants today. But there's no play before lunch because of the weather.

    Spare a thought for Alex Blackwell? She had around 150 balls to score her 50. By far the worst strike rate.
