    You can't blame Greenway. She was eyeing up the straight boundary, Lanning kept her mid-on and mid-off up and it's paid dividends.

    WICKET

    Greenway c Jonassen b Coyte 45 (Eng 123-5)

    A tame dismissal for Greenway, with a fifty on the horizon, as a thick edge spoons up into the air and it's a straightforward catch for gully.

  4. Powerplay

    Eng 123-4 (Greenway 45*, Brunt 27*)

    What's this? England have taken the batting powerplay a full two overs before they're obliged to do so - there will be a maximum of three fielders outside the circle for overs 34-38. Greenway steers Farrell for two twos and a single to move to 45, Brunt cuts two more, before a powerfully-struck two to cow corner means that's not only the fifty stand - it's Brunt's highest ODI score (27).

  6. Eng 114-4 (target 242)

    More busy accumulation from England's fifth-wicket pair against Coyte - this stand is now worth 42 and they need 128 from 102 balls

    This is a very crucial point. If England can get to the batting powerplay without losing a wicket, they can really use it to get the run rate down. If Australia take another wicket, it will be difficult for England to explode.

  8. Eng 109-4 (Greenway 38*, Brunt 20*)

    Australia need to regain a bit of control after that last Jonassen over, so the spinner's off and Rene Farrell returns for her eighth over. There's an appeal for lbw against Brunt, but umpire Saggers isn't interested... Farrell strays with a wide, while England keep chipping away with some ones and twos - and fortune favours Greenway as she reverse-sweeps and the ball lofts just over short third man for two. 12th man Rebecca Grundy comes on with a drink for the two batters between overs.

    It's nice to see England getting a wriggle on. Brunt won't die wondering and it's good that she's been given the licence to have a go here.

  10. Eng 102-4 (target 242)

    Katherine Brunt blasts a quick single to mid-on to bring up the hundred for England, while she and Sarah Coyte both end up in a heap as they collide while the bowler attempts to take the ball. Just two more singles from the over - the equation for England is 140 from 114 balls.

  12. 6 runs

    Six for Brunt

    Eng 99-4 (Greenway 33*, Brunt 16*)

    Brunt swipes a two to third man - then we have the  first six of the series as she slog-sweeps Jonassen over mid-wicket for a maximum. Greenway then unleashes an Eoin Morgan-style reverse sweep for four. Seven and a half an over? Pah. England managed 14 off that one!

  14. Eng 85-4 (target 242)

    Greenway angles her bat to ramp Coyte for a single over short fine leg, Brunt can only rotate the strike, and Australia continue to be rewarded for disciplined seam bowling as Grreenway can't beat the inner ring. A single to third man leaves the required rate around seven and a half an over.

  15. Ebony Rainford-Brent

    I see what they're doing by sending Brunt in, but Nat Sciver can play an intelligent innings - and hit the ball out of the park too.

  16. Eng 82-4 (Greenway 26*, Brunt 6*)

    Finally the Brunt experiment starts to bear fruit as she smacks Jonassen for four wide of extra cover - it's England's first boundary since Greenway hit that trio of fours six overs ago. But a tidy, rapid over from Jonassen, considering it contained a boundary.

  17. Eng 78-4

    Captain Meg Lanning rotates her bowlers with Coyte replacing Perry. After a single from Greenway, Brunt tries to go big again but possibly connects too cleanly - it's a single straight to the cover sweeper.

  18. Eng 76-4 (target 242)

    Brunt comes down the track and heaves a full toss to deep mid-wicket for a single to get off the mark. Greenway adds a single, she has 25 from 45. England need 166 from 24 overs (or 144 balls if you prefer). But they've only added nine runs in five overs, for the loss of one wicket.

  19. Eng 74-4

    Greenway knocks Jonassen for a single - now, how long before Brunt goes big against the spinner? Well, first ball, she tries to cut a half-volley and nearly chops onto her stumps. This should be entertaining at the very least.

  20. Ebony Rainford-Brent

    I would prefer to see Sciver promoted above Brunt - she can give it the long handle too, but I wonder if she might offer a bit more longevity. She's got a more rounded game.
