Cross should have taken that, the Australians don't give many chances so you have to take them.

Almost some success straight away!

Full and flighted from Ecclestone, Litchfield steps into the drive but doesn't really get hold of it. It should be an easy catch for Kate Cross at cover but it crashes off her thumbs and hits the turf.

So close to an immediate breakthrough for the England spinner.

Sophie Ecclestone is going to be so important for England today.

And we'll see Sophie Ecclestone straight away.

She's bowling from the Radcliffe Road end - she's been bowling from the Pavilion End in this match. Let's see if it brings her some success.

Beth Mooney picks up the first run of the day, tapping into mid-wicket for a single. An inside-edge into square-leg gets Litchfield off the mark.

A better line for Kate Cross than what was on offer last night.

Let's play!

England will have to play out of their skin to get a win. No one was interested in a draw either side. I'd really like to see whatever total is set, to go for it. They have nothing to lose and they are the underdogs.

England's Danni Wyatt speaking to BBC: "It's been a really special week, I didn't think this day would come. When Lewis said I was playing I was really chuffed and I'm glad I could contribute as well.

"I just played my natural game. It's a dream to play in an Ashes Test match, it doesn't get much better than this.

"I think the first hour today is going to be crucial, the wickets started to get lower. It's going to be a big morning session and hopefully we can get some wickets.

"Everyone was up and about on the bus this morning. Sophie Ecclestone had the speakers going and Heather Knight got flat whites in.

"I was bowling to left-handers in the PSL so I'm ready to have a bowl."

England's seamers found yesterday hard work, but the home side have a potential gamechanger in spinner Sophie Ecclestone. She'll be key to England's chances today.

But are the hosts over reliant on their star turn? Ecclestone bowled 46.2 overs in the first innings, with only three of the five other bowlers reaching double figures. In contrast, of Australia's eight bowlers only Jess Jonassen bowled less than 10, while no-one bowled more than 25.

Both Scotland and Ireland's men are in action in the World Cup qualifier in Zimbabwe.

Brandon McMullen has reached a century for Scotland against Oman, they're 220-3 in the 39th over.

Meanwhile Ireland find themselves 215-2 against favourites Sri Lanka after 35 overs.

We've also got live coverage of the latest round of County Championship action coming up. Don't say we don't spoil you...

Let's remind ourselves of how this series works.

Winning this Test will grant the victors four points. There's then two on offer for each of the six white-ball games - three T20s then three ODIs.

Australia's white-ball record is remarkable: they have won 56 out of 65 T20s since 2018, and 41 from 42 one-day internationals in the same period.

So England really need to gets some points on the board from this match, while defeat for Australia would be less catastrophic for their prospects.

Imagine sitting in the stands as you watch your daughter break all sorts of international records.

Quite the Saturday for the Beaumont family.

Clear skies over Trent Bridge this morning, perfect conditions for bowlers to toil and batters to prosper.

We are expecting some rain this afternoon though. Will Alyssa Healy's charges up the rate a little to have all of Monday to bowl the hosts out? Tomorrow's forecast is set fair...

Cricket statistician on Test Match Special

The Trent Bridge Test has been a match of rare achievements, the English highlight of which thus far has been Tammy Beaumont becoming the first England player to score a double century in women's Tests. She was last out, for 208, thus narrowly failing to achieve the unusual feat of carrying her bat (i.e. an opener batting through a completed innings in which their team was all out). We have also seen Australia's wicket-taking dominated by their sixth and eighth bowlers used (four wickets by Gardner, three by McGrath).

Can you put the following occurrences in order, from fewest instances to most?

A: Opening batters carrying their bat in a women's Test innings.

B: Test double centuries scored against England's women.

C: The number of times before yesterday, in all men's and women's Test cricket, that two bowlers not amongst the first five used in the innings have taken three or more wickets each in the same innings.

D: Scores by Australian number 8s in all international cricket higher than Annabel Sutherland's 137 not out.

E: Women who have captained and kept wicket in the same Test before Alyssa Healy in this Test.

Here's the lowdown from former England internationals Alex Hartley and Ebony Rainford Brent.

But before we get too gloomy, let's remind ourselves of some of the records Tammy Beaumont broke yesterday.

• She recorded England women's highest-ever individual score, beating Betty Snowball's 189 against New Zealand in 1935, while also becoming her country's first double centurion.
• Her 208 was the fifth-highest Test score of all time, with Pakistan's Kiran Baluch 242 against the West Indies in 2004 leading the charts.
• The England opener finished five short of Ellyse Perry's Ashes record score of 213* in 2017, which ranks fourth on the all-time list.
• Beaumont's innings was the highest score ever against Australia, surpassing Rachael Heyhoe Flint's 179 in 1976, and the first double ton against the perennial world number ones.
• She hit the most fours in an England Test innings (26)
• Beaumont became only the fourth England player to score a century in all three formats, joining Heather Knight, Jos Buttler and Dawid Malan.

You can read more about her remarkable innings here.

Funny how so much good work can be undone in an hour or so.

The heroics of Tammy Beaumont were the story of day three. Resuming on exactly 100, she racked up the runs, passing the England individual scoring record of 189 before becoming her country's first double centurion.

The opener finally fell for 208, the last wicket in a remarkable innings.

And yet in the session after tea a tired England bowling attack was dominated by Australia openers Phoebe Litchfield and Beth Mooney. They reached 82 unbeaten at the close, a lead of 92.

England need early wickets on day four to ensure the game doesn't get away from them entirely. Let's see if they can get them...
