    England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    It's been chanceless, she started slowly but caught up very well. An unbelievable knock from her.

  2. 100 runs

    100 for Haynes

    Aus 234-2 (43.3 overs)

    A fantastic hundred for Rachael Haynes! A single tucked into the legside gets her to three figures from 114 balls and there is still plenty of time for her to make this a big one!

  3. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special

    It was an easy catch, it went sharply to Beaumont but she didn't have to move.

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

    Meg Lanning has played that cut shot so well but this time she hit it straight to Tammy Beaumont who took it in front of her face. It was a catch it or wear it scenario.

    WICKET

    Lanning c Beaumont b Brunt 86 (Aus 231-2)

    It has been a long time coming but England have a second wicket! Far from the best delivery that Katherine Brunt has bowled, short and wide outside off but Lanning cuts it straight to Tammy Beaumont at point.

  6. Get Involved

    Jack Rule: Someone needs to get Lanning & Haynes out soon, I’m about to run out of room in the book!

  7. Aus 229-1

    Nicely bowled by Brunt, a slower ball that brings a rare play and a miss from Haynes outside off.

  8. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special

    No side has ever chased more than 262 to win a Women's Cricket World Cup match...

  9. Aus 226-1

    Lanning 84, Haynes 96

    Cross keeps Australia to four singles from the over, finishing with a good yorker to Haynes.

    The good news for England is that Beaumont seems to be OK.

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

    This would really put salt into England's wounds if their opening batter, and their player of the tournament in the last World Cup, was to get injured.

  11. Aus 224-1

    More for England to worry about as Tammy Beaumont stays down and holds her shoulder after making a diving stop at backward point. Out comes the physio...

  12. The Australia captain is well on her way to three figures now...

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

    You might have to strap yourselves in for the last nine overs.

  14. Alex Hartley
    England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    Brilliant shot, onto the back foot and wallops it all the way for six. That shows the aggression they will take into the last few overs.

    Simple chance for a man in the crowd, and he drops it!

  15. 6 runs

    Aus 222-1

    BruntGetty Images

    Nailed over the leg side by Meg Lanning! She picked up the length superbly and timed the pull shot to perfection. Australia march on, big problems for England.

  16. Aus 216-1

    Katherine Brunt is dismayed as she is called for a wide after bouncing Haynes. It was marginal but it goes against the bowler, making it two wides in succession.

  17. Bangladesh remain in hunt

    Rumana AhmedGetty Images

    We could be set for an exciting finish in Dunedin, where Bangladesh are 98-4 chasing 208 to beat South Africa. Follow that match here.

  18. Rachael Haynes has been in great touch and has really kicked on since reaching her fifty...

  19. Aus 210-1

    Lanning 73, Haynes 94

    Singles all the way for Australia with Sciver relieved to get away with a full toss that was borderline on being called a no-ball. The umpires decide it was just below waist height.

    Ten overs to go, how many can Australia rack up from here?

  20. Not out

    Aus 203-1 (38.4 overs)

    As expected, ball-tracking confirms the 'not out' decision. Impact was umpire's call and the ball was missing leg stump by a distance.
