    Evening, everyone. It's win or bust time for England. The Women's Ashes trophy is teetering on a cliff edge - one false move and it will disappear down under for a couple of years.

    Having won the first ODI of this points-based multi-format series, Charlotte Edwards's England side have suffered successive defeats by Meg Lanning's Australia, who only need to win one of these three Twenty20 internationals to regain the trophy. But three England wins would see the series drawn 8-8 - and the hosts retain the Women's Ashes.
