You can feel the crowd on the edge of their seats. They have been supporting Beaumont throughout every ball.

Tammy Beaumont pulls Annabel Sutherland around the corner, and the crowd noise increases, but there's a fielder down at fine leg to cut off the boundary.

It's more about time than how many runs ahead England can get. They have already achieved such a huge milestone going past 400. For them to reach this point already they have done so well.

They will want to bowl to Australia later in the day.

Tammy Beaumont taps Annabel Sutherland to mid-off, but it's misfielded and allows her to pick up another single. Australia looking a little ragged in the field.

Australia's players are strolling on to the field, followed by the peerless and indefatigable Tammy Beaumont. She will start on strike and needs five runs to reach her double hundred.

Tammy Beaumont is an absolute cricket badger, she loves the game. She loves batting and she is hugely competitive. She just lives and breathes the game.

She is one of those people that always wants to be batting. In the nets if there is a spare slot that is her in there. She is hugely annoying to play against so I'm very glad she's my captain in The Hundred this summer!

She's had to work really hard actually. In the last couple of years she's dropped out of the T20 side and she's gone away and worked really hard on her game and probably been a bit more comfortable in her own skin. I think it just shows how comfortable she is out there at the moment and really enjoying her cricket.

I wonder how often Australia are thinking about yesterday's missed review.

Thanks, Mike.

My second post of the day referenced Betty Snowball's record, so I must have sensed something special was going to happen today.

Can Tammy Beaumont go on and make 200 now?

And as two different colleagues wave tea-time confectionery in my direction, it's time to leave you with Timothy Abraham.

England score 120 runs from 28 overs in the session for the loss of three wickets.

Australia persisted with the old ball after lunch, picking up the wicket of Sophia Dunkley. Test debutant Danni Wyatt came to the crease and scored swiftly alongside opener Tammy Beaumont.

Both Wyatt and Amy Jones fell to Australian seamers once they took the new ball, but Beaumont pushed on to take the record for England's highest individual score in any format of the game.

I think Australia will be happy with their afternoon session. They would want to get through Ecclestone and won't mind starving Beaumont of the strike.

Perry has bowled well but she hasn't been given enough overs.

Beaumount runs a no-ball to give Sophie Ecclestone the strike.

The England spinner gets off the mark with a four through square leg before lofting a slow wide ball over gully for another boundary.

That's the final ball of the session - time for tea. Tammy Beaumount leads the players off the pitch to applause from around the ground.

This is also England's highest ever score against Australia.
