    Kate Cross is off the field at the moment having dropped this tough caught-and-bowled chance off Phoebe Litchfield a few moments ago.

  2. Aus 48-0published at 9 overs

    Lead by 58 runs

    England struggling to find the right line to Australia's left-handed opening pair with balls frequently slipping down leg side, and Lauren Filer is no different.

    Beth Mooney is given a gift by Filer and flicks her fourth ball to the boundary for four.

    The first real lapse of judgement by Beth Mooney there.

  4. Aus 43-0published at 8 overs

    Lauren Bell has her head in her hands after the final ball of her fourth over tails in to beat the outside edge of Beth Mooney's bat. That was close to taking the edge.

    England contemplate a bowling change as Lauren FIler is summoned to take over from Kate Cross, who is off the field.

  5. Aus 43-0published at 7.3 overs

    Lead by 53 runs

    This is a real statement of intent from Australia's opening pair. Lauren Bell's third ball is gloriously dispatched to the fence by Beth Mooney for four.

    The next ball off Cross is hit for four and that's just salt in the wound.

  7. Aus 39-0published at 7.0 overs

    Phoebe Litchfield puts her weigh on to the front foot and biffs the next from Kate Cross through the covers for four.

    Cross has left the field to get her fingers checked after that dropped effort.

    From the body language of Kate Cross she is disappointed to not have held onto that ball. She buries her head. It was a caught and bowled chance.

    It would have been a serious catch if she did hold on to it but she will know the importance of getting that first wicket.

    Litchfield dropped on 10published at 6.5 overs

    Kate Cross switches to round the wicket and Phoebe Litchfield drills the England's seamer's penultimate delivery low back at her.

    Cross gets her hands to it but the ball goes through them and races away to the boundary for four.

    You can see Bell is trying to generate that swing but it's another wayward delivery from her, looking to push the ball and it goes a long way the other way.

  11. Aus 28-0published at 6.0 overs

    More wayward bowling from England as Lauren Bell, round the wicket, bowls a filthy leg side wide with her fourth ball which races away to the boundary.

    This has been sloppy period of play from England when they were hoping to put some pressure on the Australian openers.

    Heather Knight might be turning to Sophie Ecclestone before long.

    That's the ball Kate Cross has been visualising.

    That third delivery should give Kate Cross some confidence now.

  14. Aus 20-0published at 5.0 overs

    Lead by 30

    Kate Cross has finally started to hit the right lines and lengths.

    Her third ball is back of a length climbs of the pitch to beat the tentative prod of Beth Mooney. That was a good ball.

    However, Cross over pitches his final delivery of the over and is driven down the ground by Phoebe Litchfield and the pressure is released.

    I thought Bell had bowled her then! A decent start for England, the ball is swinging.

    How's that not gone on to the stumps?!

  17. Eng 15-0published at 4.0 overs

    Lauren Bell is getting plenty of encouragement from her team-mates and Phoebe Litchfield almost drags on the final ball of the over.

  18. Postpublished at 17:19 British Summer Time 24 June 2023

    Kate Cross has not exactly been on the money so far. She looks a little grumpy at the end of her second over. Here's how Phoebe Litchfield got off the mark moments ago.

  19. Aus 13-0published at 2.2 overs

    Kate Cross is too straight to Beth Mooney and the second ball of her second over pings off the Aussie opener's bat straight down the ground for four.

  20. Aus 9-0published at 2 overs

    Lauren Bell round the wicket to Phoebe Litchfield, and she's hanging it out wide in the hope of drawing the Aussie opener into a nick.

    A little more miserly with just one run off the over.
