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

    It's an expensive first over again for England.

  2. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    That four from Phoebe Litchfield would have been stopped if it Australia were in the field...

  3. Aus 8-0

    A bit of swing for Kate Cross but her radar is slightly awry and her first two balls are down leg side. Her third is flicked away to the leg side and Beth Mooney is off the mark with a three.

    Fellow left-hander Phoebe Litchfield then square drives her first ball for four.

    Not the greatest of starts for England.

  4. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    This is the first ball where Tammy Beaumont won't be on the field!

  5. Here's how Tammy Beaumont's marathon innings was eventually brought to an end.

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

    England have done incredibly well to get around Australia's score. We have seen the ball start to swing which might work in England's favour.

  7. Kate Cross has the ball in hand. Beth Mooney has taken guard.

    Here we go.

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

    I think England's best chance is tonight, if they can get two or three tonight, then the game will really open.

  9. England women have a huddle before bowling at AustraliaGetty Images

    Right then... England have a Test match to win.

    Can they take some wickets in the 20 overs or so that remain this evening? It would certainly be handy.

    Heather Knight gives an encouraging clap as she sprints out on the field ahead of her team-mates.

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

    I got to talk to Beaumont's family during the tea break and they didn't realise she had beaten Snowball's record.

    When I explained it to her mum, she looked so shocked. It was pretty special.

  11. How's stat?!

    Tammy Beaumont's knock of 208 will go down as the fifth highest Test score on the all-time in women's cricket.

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

    That is an example of the skill and the quality that Tammy Beaumont has. She is in the zone and I sense there are more runs to come from her in the Ashes.

    She might just sneak herself into all formats this summer too.

  13. Tammy Beaumont spent a mammoth 498 minutes at the crease.

    England are just 10 runs behind thanks to her brilliant knock.

    Heather Knight's bowlers will be pumped to make early inroads into the Australia top order.

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

    One of the finest moments of England Test cricket history.

  15. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Every member of the Australian side goes to congratulate Tammy Beaumont.

    A giant of a knock from her and she finally, finally, departs the field.

    WICKET

    Beaumont b Gardner 208 (Eng 463)

    Tammy Beaumont's magnificent innings is over.

    She attempts to slog sweep Ash Gardner to the boundary - selflessly looking to take on the bowling on striker - and is bowled.

    She faced 331 balls for her 208.

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

    If England could pick up one or two wickets tonight then it could bring this game back in their favour.

  18. Eng 463-9

    Trail by 10 runs

    The wickets have tumbled since tea. Three in the bag for Tahlia McGrath.

  20. wicket

    WICKET

    Filer c Healy b McGrath 11 (Eng 463-9)

    Spoke to soon.

    A waft from Lauren Filer to a wide one from Tahlia McGrath and she feathers one into the gloves of Alyssa Healy.
