  1. Aus 153-1

    A yorker from Cross but Haynes gives herself room and manages to run the ball fine, through third for four.

    Four more! Driven firmly this time by Haynes and past mid-off. Hold on, folks, Australia are starting to motor now!

  2. Get Involved

    Jack Rule: This is why is think England have still missed a trick with not playing Emma Lamb. Not only can she give you an attacking option at the top of the order, she also gives you the extra spin option.

  3. Get Involved

    #bbccricket

    Georgie Heath: England need a bit of magic here if they're going to stop this getting away from them. Aussies only one down and with such a strong looking side, they could easily ramp up the pace and elevate that strike-rate.

  4. 50 runs

    50

    Aus 143-1 (Lanning 52, Haynes 50)

    Rachael Haynes joins her skipper in getting to her half-century. A single down to fine leg gets her there from 73 balls from the last delivery before drinks.

    Plenty for Heather Knight and her side to ponder.

  5. Bangladesh on course for shock win?

    Bangladesh, in their first ever World Cup match, are going well in pursuit of 208 to beat South Africa, who are ranked number two in the world. They are 67-0. Follow that match via our scorecard here.

    My favourite fact about Meg Lanning is that she was born in Singapore.

  7. 50 runs

    50 for Lanning

    Aus 141-1 (Lanning 51, Haynes 49)

    That's fifty for the Australia captain! It's a been a superb knock so far and she reaches the milestone with a well-run two down to third.

    An 18th ODI fifty for Meg Lanning.

  8. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Sport's chief cricket writer in Hamilton

    When you see what Australia have got to come, it's terrifying.

    It is time for these two to kick on now. Meg Lanning is taking a few more risks.

  10. 100 runs

    100

    Aus 136-1

    The boundaries are starting to flow for Australia but this one from Lanning is far from convincing. She tries to whip Cross over the leg side but gets a leading edge and will be relieved to see it clear mid-on and run away to the fence.

    And that brings up the 100 partnership!

  11. Aus 131-1

    Lanning 42, Haynes 47

    Both batters are approaching their half-centuries now. Lanning guides the ball down to third man for another boundary before a couple of quick singles, which have been a feature of this stand so far.

  12. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Sport's chief cricket writer in Hamilton

    It just feels ominous for England, doesn't it?

  13. Aus 125-1

    Brunt finishes the over well but Haynes and Lanning have both been relatively untroubled.

    Anya Shrubsole is coming back into the attack to try and find the breakthrough.

  14. Alex Hartley
    England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    You can try too hard, but England do have to find a way of breaking this partnership somehow.

  15. Aus 123-1

    Superb from Haynes, getting across her stumps and lap-sweeping Brunt for four more. Thankfully, the stump mics have remained down...

  16. Aus 119-1

    LanningGetty Images

    Lanning cashes in on a leg stump full toss from Ecclestone, putting it away behind square for four as this Australia pair continue on their merry way.

  17. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special

    I'm glad the stump microphones have been turned down for this over because I'm not sure what Katherine Brunt is saying is safe, even at this time in the morning.

  18. Aus 110-1

    Brunt is into her sixth over as England continue to search for a second wicket. She might still be frustrated by that missed opportunity in her last over and her mood won't be improved by a stray delivery that slides down leg, past Jones for five wides.

  19. 'A chance gone begging'

    Mel Jones
    Ex-Australia batter on BBC Test Match Special

    I have a feeling Sophie Ecclestone was still thinking about the over before because it took her far too long to pick that up. It's a chance gone begging. It's the fact she wasn't ready that will infuriate Katherine Brunt.

  20. Aus 102-1

    Lovely stuff from Rachael Haynes as she drives Ecclestone through the off side for four.

    And now, to take you to the end of the innings and making his live text debut - no pressure! - here's Sam Drury.
