    England have got to try and find a bowler they can target and it seems Darcie Brown is that bowler.

    This is still a very good pitch to bat on, you can play through the line of the ball nicely.

  3. England 59-2

    Three fours in Brown's over from Knight, the third is a gorgeous cover drive.

  4. England 54-2

    Knight flips a full ball from Brown out to the boundary in front of square leg, and then two deliveries later she latches onto a carbon copy for another.

    You would never have known that Ellyse Perry has been struggling with a back injury. What an effort.

  6. England 46-2

    Ellyse Perry makes a fine rolling stop at fine leg top prevent a boundary and keep Sciver to two, the only runs from the latest over.

    If England are going to get anywhere near this, Knight and Sciver have still got to be there at the 40th over.

  11. England 42-2

    Lovely from Heather Knight as she drives Brown back past the bowler for four to long-off.

  12. Not out

    It was missing leg, so Sciver survives.

  13. Australia review

    Schutt strikes Sciver on the pad, it's not given but they go upstairs.

  14. England 38-2

    The replay shows that was hitting the top of leg as Nat Sciver comes to the crease.

    WICKET

    Beaumont lbw b Schutt 27 (Eng 38-2)

    Curse of the commentator...

    More swing from Schutt as the ball hits Beaumont on the knee-roll. She consults with Knight but they don't review and that promising knock is over.

  16. England 38-1

    Tammy Beaumont goes straight and drives Schutt past the umpire for four.

    Australia took 10 overs to get to 37...

    Darcie Brown just hasn't got her length right so far.

  18. England 31-1

    Target 357

    Beaumont has started really nicely, and she whips Brown off her pads backwards of square for another four.

  19. England 27-1

    Schutt keeps hooping it in from a long way outside off, she does a little Mark Wood-esque hop at the start of the run-up too.

    I can vouch for that. She's especially been a nightmare today.
