  1. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    Tammy's timing has been impeccable this morning. They are the kind of confident shots you want to get back into the game.

  2. Eng 235-2

    It's fair to say that Tammy Beaumont has got her eye in with three boundaries around the clock.

    Darcie Brown's second delivery is full and Beaumont drills straight down the ground for four. Beamount then cleverly opens the face and guides Brown's fifth ball down through third and before she finishes the over with a brutal pull through mid-on.

  3. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    I think this is a big error here from Australia. It was catchable height and Jess Jonassen is left-handed too so that was her dominant hand.

  4. Eng 223-2

    First boundary of the day for England as Nat Sciver-Brown scythes at a short-ish delivery from Kim Karth outside off stump and the ball flies over the slip cordon.

    That takes us so agonisingly close to a Richie Benaud's favourite score.

  5. Here's that dramatic first ball of the day which Nat Sciver-Brunt overturned on review. From and England perspective it has, thankfully, been a little more sedate since then.

  6. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    That batting session last night was another level, England dominated, and Tammy and Nat looked up for it. You can see little foot track where the bowlers are approaching the crease but there is nothing on the wicket here and that will take another facet out of the game.

  7. Eng 219-2

    After an overcast start to the morning in Nottingham the sun has started to burn away the clouds and is peeping through to give the crowd their daily recommended dose of vitamin D.

    England remain circumspect as another maiden clocked up by Darcie Brown as Tammy Beaumont judiciously leaves and defends on merit.

  8. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    It's a flat pitch but both teams could have bowled better, England and Australia will have reflected on that.

  9. Eng 219-2

    It is Kim Garth, who you may recall played for Ireland for over a decade before switching allegiances in 2020, who will bowl the second over of the day for Australia on day three.

    She's very much on the money from the get-go with Nat Sciver-Brunt happy to leave and defend as she sees off a maiden over.

  10. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    We'll see a different Australia today. I think they were below par yesterday. Kim Garth was amazing, Australia are a threatening side and they have that extra 10% that we didn't see that yesterday.

  11. Eng 219-2

    England's players are all smiles on the balcony after that decision went Nat Sciver-Brunt's way. She is happy to see off four more balls of Darcie Brown's over before cautiously flicking a single of her pads into the leg side.

  12. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    A good thing for Nat is that Darcie Brown does swing it a lot. England fans will be a little bit more relaxed after that.

  13. Sciver not out

    The ball-tracking technology shows it would have missed leg stump. Nat Sciver-Brunt breathes a sigh of relief.

  14. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    What a sensational start to day! Ebony is giving this not out...

  15. England review

    Darcie Brown celebrates dismissing Nat Sciver-Brunt but the decision is overturned on reviewGetty Images

    Darcie Brown is full and hits Nat Sciver-Brunt on the pad with her first ball.

    It's given out on the field, but Sciver-Brunt reviews.

  16. Tammy Beaumont and Nat Sciver-BruntGetty Images

    Tammy Beaumont and Nat Sciver-Brunt have a brief chat in the middle then punch gloves. Darcie Brown has the ball in hand at the top of her mark.

  17. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    If England get bowled out then Australia are in the driving seat. England will want to win this but if they're in the position where they will lose then they have to go for a draw.

  18. Alex Blackwell
    Former Australia batter on BBC Test Match Special

    There's a great atmosphere around here. What I'm looking forward to is Nat and Tammy, they are so complimentary. Nat scores naturally at a run a ball and it is set up for England to quietly get into that first hour and then start to think about when to take the shackles off.

  19. Australia make their way out on day three of the Women's Ashes Test at Trent BridgeGetty Images

    The players are making their way on to the field at Trent Bridge. We should be under way fairly shortly.

  20. Katherine Sciver-Brunt
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    I can see the women playing like Bazball. Since Jon Lewis has come in it has been about being entertaining. There's a lot of girls here who like to play cautiously, they're now having to learn having to play through the gears.
