Nat Sciver finishes the over with a bouncer, which Tahlia McGrath ducks out of the way of. Well taken by Amy Jones at shoulder height, stood up.
McGrath eases some of the pressure off the first ball of Sophie Ecclestone's next over, skipping down the track and belting it down the ground for four.
Australia's first boundary in 65 deliveries.

Ex-Australia leg-spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialThe review just adds more pressure on Australia. It's another delay when they're trying to get the game moving.
Not outpublished at 05:04 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February 2022
Beth Mooney just managed to plant her back foot behind the line so she survives. Amy Jones is definitely helping to turn the heat up on the Australia batters and leaving them no margin for error with their footwork.

Has Amy Jones stumped Beth Mooney off Nat Sciver here? The third umpire is taking a look...

England lose their review.
Tidy stuff from left-arm spinner Sophie Ecclestone, with just two runs off that over.

Ex-Australia leg-spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialIt's a good review. It's a good example of one you'd want to look at - especially considering where the game is at.
Not outpublished at 05:00 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February 2022
The bat hit the pad, but the umpires determine it had glanced the fact of the bat as well. Anya Shrubsole is not best impressed.

Nat Sciver whistles through an over with Amy Jones, stood up to the stumps, clapping her wicketkeeping gloves together with plenty of enthusiasm.

Ecclestone, red sunglasses in place, returns and breezes through an over.
Time for me to hand over to Timothy Abraham. Don't blame me if England lose it from here...

Amy Jones is dealing with more bouncers now standing up to the stumps. One of them is harshly called a wide but that's the only run that comes from this Nat Sciver over.
A long way to go, I know, but if England win here the Ashes series would be all square with two games to go.

Mooney 5, McGrath 3
Tahlia McGrath can strike a ball - standing tall and swinging her bat like a tree trunk. Kate Cross has been immaculate so far, getting all of the rewards for her misfortune in the Test.

Image source, Getty ImagesWhat bowling rotations will Heather Knight be thinking of now? You'd want to keep Kate Cross on, she has two wickets and is getting some sideways movement. Do we keep her back a few, or bowl her out? Who is going to be bowling the death overs?

Mooney 5, McGrath 1
Australia's top four are all back in the shed. Can England keep going through this line-up? The ball is seaming considerably off the pitch.

Kirsten Pike
Former Australia bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialThat's incredible from Amy Jones but has Kate Cross bowled well, with good swing, and has beaten the bat a couple of times. Alyssa Healy has dragged her foot back over the line a few times but has just been caught with it in the air. Take nothing away from Jones, though.
