  2. Aus 95-2 (Lanning 30*, Healy 8*)published at 28 overs

    England keep two overs of Shrubsole up their sleeves and turn to Heather Knight's off-spin - she drags her third delivery down too short and Healy aggressively clubs it for four through long leg. A swipe through the covers sees no fewer than three England fielders give chase and Healy scampers through for three.

    Healy will get on with it, I wonder if they're thinking she could get in before the powerplay, get set and play more aggressively.

  4. Aus 88-2 (Sciver 4-0-11-1)published at 27 overs

    A change in the batting order as it's wicketkeeper Alyssa Healy promoted to number four ahead of Ellyse Perry, who is standing by the dug-out with a white towel draped around her shoulders like a superhero's cape. Healy is off the mark with a single.

    Bolton c Marsh b Sciver 40 (Aus 87-2)

    Bolton toe-ends one over extra cover and the delighted Laura Marsh takes the catch. Having taken 89 balls to score 40, was the pressure getting to the left-hander from Perth?

    With this outfield, I think the team which hits the most twos will end up winning today. Charlotte Edwards has rotated her bowlers much better today.

  7. Aus 85-1 (Bolton 39*, Lanning 29*)published at 26 overs

    Shrubsole to continue, Lanning cuts and misses and Taylor, standing up to the stumps, does well to take the ball. Lanning and Bolton exchange singles, and while Australia have hit seven fours today, Shrubsole is yet to concede a boundary. She has 0-16 from eight.

    England are pegging it back a little, but the potential danger is without getting a breakthrough, the likes of Perry can come in and add power. If they can get a wicket, ideally Lanning, while they get the squeeze on... Charlotte Edwards is good in these scenarios at keeping it tight.

    Drinks breakpublished at 25 overs

    Aus 83-1

    Lanning pushes a single, then there's a brief comedic moment when Bolton straight-drives, Sciver dives to try to stop the ball, Lanning dives to get back into her crease and both bowler and non-striker are momentarily prostrate as the ball trickles towards mid-off. Bolton has only scored one run off her past 14 deliveries - but the sides have earned a drinks break (sorry, "hydration break").

  10. Aus 82-1 (Shrubsole 7-1-14-0)published at 24 overs

    It's still overcast but dry over New Road as Shrubsole, who's been economical today, bowls nice and straight and keeps it tight against Bolton - in fact, that's a maiden. Very tidy figures from the Somerset seamer.

  12. Aus 82-1 (Sciver 2-0-7-0)published at 23 overs

    Bolton, rather overshadowed since her captain came in, cuts loose with an aggressive pull shot but Katherine Brunt races round the boundary to cut it off, and deliver a trademark bullet-like throw to restrict them to two. The New Road crowd clearly appreciate good fielding, there's loud applause when Lydia Greenway makes a smart stop at backward point.

    There is a smaller crowd then was first expected at Worcester after the game was pushed to Monday but those at New Road are making their voices heard. In picturesque settings, the sound of church bells is adding to the atmosphere.

  14. Aus 78-1 (Bolton 35*, Lanning 26*)published at 22 overs

    After two overs of Marsh, Anya Shrubsole returns as England look to ring the changes. But Australia keep building, three from the over.

    As an impartial cricket observer, I'd like to see Bolton get some runs as she paces her innings nicely. The opening partnership with Villani works well, a left-hand/right-hand and they both have strong top arms.

  16. Aus 75-1published at 21 overs

    The New Road ice cream man is starting to drum up some trade as England turn to medium-pacer Natalie Sciver as their sixth bowler. Can she atone for that missed run-out chance? Lanning adds a two and a single, she's up to 25 and not far behind Bolton who has 33. That's the fifty stand.

    We're aware there are a few issues with the scorecard at the top of the page - rest assured, technical team are aware and are working on it. You can find a full scorecard by clicking here.

  18. Aus 72-1published at 20 overs

    Lanning comes down the track and lofts Marsh for four over her head, before crashing a full toss for four more through extra cover. Bolton is content to play the supporting role, but it's 11 from a good over for the tourists.

  19. Aus 61-1published at 19 overs

    Gunn begins her fifth over, Australia are in careful accumulation mode and with the field spread, there are easy pickings for the left-hand/right-hand pair. Bolton has 32 from 64, Lanning is up to 12 from 19.

    I'm terrified of Meg Lanning. The second ball I ever bowled to her, she hit it for six up onto a roof somewhere.
