  1. Aus 127-4published at 19 overs

    Katherine Brunt bowled two overs for 20 earlier - can she restore some control now? The answer is yes - a good over of slower balls and Australia can only manage singles.

    "Good throw. Nat Sciver had to do a bit of work and a direct hit makes such a difference. You feel that little bit of momentum might be nice to take into the next innings."

    Blackwell run out (Sciver) 11 (Aus 122-4)

    Tell you what, Natalie Sciver should get clonked on the noggin more often. She's already got two wickets and now she's effected a superb run out. Lanning works to deep midwicket and calls for two, but Sciver swoops and - with one stump to aim at - rattles it from distance. Brilliant.

    John Michael Poole: England need wickets and quick, anything over 130 and it's game over.

    50 for Lanningpublished at 18 overs

    Aus 122-3

    Lanning slogs a single to deep midwicket to bring up a seemingly effortless fifty. What a classy knock it's been from the world's number one batter. Can she punish England in these last two overs?

    "What a mix-up. She should have been run out by the length of the pitch. There have been a couple of those in the field where England haven’t been quite with it."

  7. Aus 115-3published at 17 overs

    Shrubsole to bowl her final over, she's not used to going wicketless. Dear oh dear, another missed run-out for England, massive mix-up strands Lanning halfway down but the ball is fumbled by Shrubsole. Not her day, she finishes with 0-27.

    "That is a lovely shot. Another four to Meg Lanning who has looked worlds apart today."

  10. Aus 110-3 (run rate 6.87)published at 16 overs

    Mind games from Alex Blackwell, taking guard well outside the stumps to try and discombobulate Natalie Sciver. Dastardly. Lanning jumps to cut the ball almost off the top of the stumps for two, then follows up with a beautifully placed shot past point for four.

    "I think Australia are going nicely. The danger is they can go quite deep. If they get to the 140 mark they will have a good score on this ground."

  12. Aus 98-3published at 15 overs

    Another misfield from England - this time it's Laura Marsh pawing at fresh air at point and that allows Lanning's shot to trickle away for four. Oh dear, and another from the same fielder costs a single. Marsh compiling her own personal bloopers reel - though to be fair she's been probably England's best bowler so far.

  13. Best video highlights so farpublished at 10:54 British Summer Time 30 March 2016

    Just joining us? Here are the three standout moments so far:

    1) Natalie Sciver dismisses Elyse Villani leg before

    2) Alyssa Healy hits two fluent boundaries in the first over

    3) Friendly fire! Natalie Sciver hit on the head by a throw from her own fielder

  14. Aus 90-3 (Lanning 31, Blackwell 2)published at 14 overs

    Alex Blackwell, a real veteran of this Australia side, is the new batter. Ahe gets off the mark with a steered single to short third man.

    "That is very handy. Every time Nat Sciver comes onto bowl she gets a wicket. It was quite a good catch, for a minute I think Perry thought she had got away from it. 

    "A big wicket because these two were looking dangerous."

    Perry c Knight b Sciver 10 (Aus 86-3)

    Gone! Sciver does the trick again, but what a catch this is! Perry tries to slog into the leg side, but Heather Knight at mid-on times her jump just right and plucks it out of the sky. Can England slow Australia's momentum from here?

    "I love watching Heather Knight bowl. She trots, like a horse doing dressage."

  18. Aus 86-2published at 13 overs

    England turn to a sixth bowler, with off-spinner Heather Knight pressed into service. The runs are flowing again for Australia, with Lanning picking up four courtesy of an outside edge down to third man. They're on for a big score here.

    "That was an opportunity. The throw was not brilliant, just short of half volley length. A good throw and there was still time for Taylor to remove the bails. 

    "That was an opportunity missed there. That is a big moment given that is was Lanning."

  20. Aus 78-2 (run rate 6.50)published at 12 overs

    Oh, that's a big missed opportunity for England. Australia look for an ill-advised second run and the run out is on. Dani Wyatt throws, but the ball bounces right in front of Sarah Taylor and she can't gather. It would have been the prize wicket of Lanning too - how costly could that be?
