That moves Tammy Beaumont into the top 10 of England's individual Test scores.

The record is 189 is Elizabeth 'Betty' Snowball in 1935.

Well played, Tammy Beaumont. It doesn't really get any better than 150 not out in a Test match against Australia.

Well, maybe 200, but I'm being greedy.

150 for Tammy Beaumontpublished at 85 overs

85 overs

Eng 317-3

Lovely shot from Beamont off Alana King's first delivery. A lofted full ball, she times it beautifully through the covers for four.

Two balls later and she's popping a single down to fine leg and that's her 150! It's already her high score in this format.

Tammy Beaumont does have her traits, she is a lesser Steve Smith in a way.

Tammy Beaumont takes a single down to mid-on to get her first runs after lunch.

A reminder that England trail by 163 at present - what do you think their deficit will be at tea?

It's Ash Gardner to get us going here after lunch.

Sophia Dunkley turns her around the corner and hurries through for a single. Early signs of England trying to up the rate? We'll see...

Sophia Dunkley and Tammy Beaumont are lurking at the boundary, casting their eyes over the crowd.

Looks like we're close to a resumption.

Earlier the legendary Andy Zaltzman asked you this question: What were the runs per wicket and runs per over figures in the 28 previous women's Tests played, from 2000 to 2015?

The answers? 25.0 runs per wicket; 2.22 runs per over.

We've still got a few minutes until the teams are back out. Why not squeeze in a couple of cracking reads?

Here's Ffion Wynne on whether England are overbowling Sophie Ecclestone.

Or why not read Hannah Radford-Thompson on the first ever Women's World Cup.

A few more highlights for those of you of an Australian persuasion. England nearly lost Sciver-Brunt first ball this morning. She was given out lbw to seamer Darcie Brown, only to see the decision overturned on review.

It was Ash Gardner that ultimately claimed her wicket, caught behind by Alyssa Healy.

The second Test in the men's series starts on Wednesday at Lord's, and England face some selection dilemmas. Moeen Ali is doubtful with a finger injury and teen leggie Rehan Ahmed has been called up as cover. Meanwhile could the express pace of Mark Wood be useful in place of one of Anderson, Broad or Robinson?

Pick your XI in our selector and we'll pass it on to Rob Key.*

Kath Bentley: I absolutely love Ebony Rainford-Brent anyways but that fact that she just picked Bananaman for her choice of face painted superhero is next level!

During that stint there were 30 overs with 90 runs so England are going at exactly three runs an over.

Thanks Tim.

These pastry-flecked hands are here to take you all the way through to tea. I've had an early lunch, but while you're enjoying yours why not have some highlights to enjoy?

Nat Sciver-Brunt may have been the only wicket to fall this morning, but she reached 78 before falling to the bowling of Ash Gardner. Here's the best shots from her opening 50.

My colleague Mike Peter is just wiping the crumbs of a pasty of some description from his mouth and is primed to take you through lunch and into the afternoon session.

Over to you, Mike.

Would agree with that assessment from Ebony. Australia have threatened at times, particularly as the morning wore on, but it feels like England have got a solid platform with some of their strokeplayers to come.

For me, it's still England's morning. You'll take losing one wicket but when you have Tammy still at the crease you're still chipping away. It's still a good game and they are getting to the total.

Sophia Dunkley mutters under her breath to herself as Alana King bowls. Doubtless something along the lines of watch the ball and don't get out before lunch.

There's some big spin from King's fourth ball which bodes well for the Aussies, particularly on day five you feel, but Dunkley survives.

That's lunch.

Ash Gardner to Sophia Dunkley before lunch and the England batter advances down the pitch, perhaps in attempt to throw the off spinner of her length, and ends up hitting the third ball into her own pads.

Dunkley keeps the strike with a single off Gardner's final delivery.

Just about enough time for one more over before the break.

That boundary by Beaumont was the first boundary since the 70th over which was 11 overs ago.
