    "That is the end of Beaumont. Both openers out and as we know that has made it hard work for the others."

    Beaumont c Lanning b Schutt 32 (Eng 89-1)

    Hmmmm. I'm not sure this is too clever from Tammy Beaumont. Just when England are back in charge of the chase, she looks to belt Megan Schutt down the ground, only skying to Meg Lanning at cover. Calm heads, please.

    "England are very well placed but this is a semi-final, there is tension around."

  4. Eng 88-1published at 13 overs

    Edwards, the skipper and only wicket to fall, sits on the England balcony looking as worried as a father in the delivery room. Nothing you can do but watch, captain. Megan Schutt, only six from her first two overs, is back with her military medium.

    WayneMac: Come on Eng women, Aus women are there for the taking, only a run-a-ball.

    Mike Newton Ellis:  England in both finals, hopefully. It seems we have finally clicked in limited over cricket.

    "That is the shot of the innings possibly shot of the match. She timed that superbly. It was a glorious shot."

  7. 6 runs

    Eng 88-1 (target 133)published at 13 overs

    This time! Wonderful from Sarah Taylor, getting England moving again. Inside-out over cover, into the cloudless Delhi sky, taking spinner Jonassen for six. 12 runs from the over. The big one England needed. 46 required from 42 balls.

    "It wasn’t straightforward but that might have been a match-winning catch.

    "It would have been a fine catch but perfectly take-able."

    Eng 76-1

    Dropped! It's another that would have been a stunner, Elyse Villani making good ground from long-on, getting both hands to the ball, but dropping Sarah Taylor. Still no boundary, though. The wait is like Adrian Mole's wait for the giro. 57 needed from 48 balls. Rate going up.

    Nick Helyar: Come on England the hard work is done and only a run a ball needed.... Grind them Aussies into the dust, nothing stupid!

    Paul Parfitt: Here comes the England collapse...

    D: Lazy running between wicket by England Ladies.

    "One consolation with the loss of Edwards is there is more chance of that scampered two."

  12. Eng 73-1published at 11 overs

    Sarah Taylor the new batter. While losing Edwards is a blow for England, their running should now improve. Taylor audaciously begins by ramping Ellyse Perry for a couple to long leg. The win predictor says England are at 83%, but the wait for a boundary is now at 21 balls. Of England's boundary-hitting, Edwards hit four of the five fours, while Beaumont has managed a four and the only six.

    "You could see what Edwards was doing, trying to give room to get an offside boundary, but she didn’t get underneath it and it went start to extra cover. 

    "It is always a blow when Edwards gets out but this is a very, very good game and I wouldn’t want to predict the winner. 

    "England have wickets in hand which is helpful but they don’t want to think about recent history, how they have mucked up run chases from here."

  14. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 10 overs

    Edwards c Lanning b Beams 31 (Eng 67-1)

    Big wicket. England hadn't found the boundary in 15 balls and the pressure tells on Charlotte Edwards. Down the track to leggie Kristen Beams, reaching for a drive that goes straight to Meg Lanning at cover. A bump in the road for England, or the start of something more sinister?  

  15. Eng 61-0published at 9 overs

    Rene Farrell back, keeper Healy up to the stumps, a technique virtually identical to uncle Ian. England working the ball around, Edwards getting low to paddle to fine leg for a couple. If I had one quibble with England at the moment, it would be the running. Granted, Edwards has knees like my 91-year-old grandad, but they could have pushed harder there, before another mix-up almost sees the skipper come a cropper.

    "They look a bit concerned Australia. They usually are clapping and shouting but it is a bit quiet."

    At the moment, I'm not sure where this idea that we're in for close finish is coming from. If it keeps going like this, England will get them in time for tea. Left-arm tweaker Jess Jonassen back, Edwards going over mid-wicket for four. Australia look about eight fielders short out there.

    Meg Lanning is run out by England

    A couple of clips for you from Australia's innings:

    Watch here as England complete two superb run-outs in quick succession as direct hits from Natalie Sciver and then Anya Shrubsole help restrict Australia to 132-6 at the end of their innings.

    And watch here as England fielder Katherine Brunt accidentally hits bowler Natalie Sciver in the face with the ball.

    "That was Charlottle Edwards and I bet she didn’t start playing that shot until five years ago. She has timed it well and just beat third man. 50 up in seven overs this is going to be tight."

  20. Eng 50-0 (Edwards 21, Beaumont 18)published at 7 overs

    Leg-spin, Kristin Beams, Australia desperate for a wicket. Oh, Tammy Beaumont, what are you doing? Dawdling, she would have been run out if the throw from shot fine leg had hit. Reprieved, she watched Edwards reverse-sweep for four. 50 partnership up in 42 balls.
