Having been bathed in sunshine earlier, it now looks decidedly chilly at the North Sydney Oval - plenty of the crowd are now "rugged up" (and I don't mean in the Doug Bollinger sense). A tighter over from Schutt tests Taylor's defence, after five dot balls she taps a single into the covers, Rachael Haynes takes aim at the striker's end... and if that had hit, Elwiss would have been on her way.

The one person Australia wouldn't want to be coming in at this time is Sarah Taylor, as she scores so freely.

This is a steady knock from Georgia Elwiss, chipping in with the odd single to give Taylor the strike will do very nicely. In fact, two singles apiece take England to the magic 200 mark. Perry has 0-33 from 14 wicketless overs.

While the pink ball is moving under the lights, it can certainly race to the boundary pretty fast, too - Taylor effortlessly flicks an inswinger from Schutt through wide mid-wicket for four. She remains one of the world cricketers you'd most enjoy watching - more exquisite timing brings her another four through the covers.

Ellyse Perry to take over at the City End, with two slips in - but in offering Sarah Taylor a bit of width, the England wicketkeeper crashes it through cover point for four. Clearly offering Sarah Taylor a short and wide delivery is rather like offering Charlotte Edwards an ice cream... However, there's a bit of movement around as Taylor flashes and misses at the fifth ball of the over which Healy takes to her right.

The new ball is taken, and thrown to Megan Schutt. "This is what we've been waiting for," notes Charles Dagnall on TMS. Schutt immediately seems to find some inswing against the right-handed Elwiss, leading a few commentators to yearn for a short leg to be brought in.

Meanwhile, Daggers is confused as the umpire seemed concerned that Elwiss was standing on the "protected area" of the pitch, while batting. She'd have to be batting several feet out of her crease for that? A couple of singles are added.

Jonassen to bowl (possibly) the last over with the old ball. Taylor plays out a maiden.

The next poser for Rachael Haynes - with Jonassen and Wellington in the wickets and finding some turn, should Australia take the new ball as soon as it's available, and turn back to pace? The consensus appears to be "yes".

Taylor is off the mark with a couple of singles, Elwiss is up to 20 at the other end.

Sarah Taylor - who probably hasn't batted as low as number six for a while (at least not in women's cricket, if you recall her appearance in Aussie men's grade cricket a couple of winters ago), is the new batter.

If we had DRS, I think both of those lbws might have been umpire's call. Jim Maxwell's not convinced. Although if I were the umpire, I might have given that not out.

I thought "no" straight away, but I think the change in temperature affects the pitch, Sciver got all tied up and it just depended on whether Gerard Abood thought it was going to miss leg stump.

Sciver finds the boundary for the third time, with one of those stand-up sweeps down the leg side, dubbed the "kayak" shot by Charles Dagnall on TMS as it has similarities with the arm action of a paddling canoeist.

The sun has now set - it's a true day-nighter.

James Anderson has taken his first wicket of the match for England against a Cricket Australia XI in the "other" day-night game in Adelaide, having Matt Short caught behind for 45. The CA XI are 143-6 in reply to England's 293.

Having failed to connect cleanly with an attempted sweep, Sciver takes the aerial route, lifting a single past her batting partner's head.

There's a helmeted silly point in place as Elwiss is on the defensive against Wellington... she plays and misses, a big grin on her face as she exchanges a word or two with the close fielders, but then picks up some runs when she cuts a two and sweeps a single.

Sciver nearly chops onto her stumps, then is nearly run out coming back for a treacherous second run. Is this England living dangerously, or is their game plan to plunder every possible run before they have to face the new ball?
