  1. No bat involved...

  2. England review

    Kate Cross hits Alyssa Healy on the pads.

    The original decision is not out, but England captain Heather Knight has opted for a review.

    Has she got carried away here?

  3. Aus 198-7

    Alana King sees off the last three balls of Sophie Ecclestone's over with some stout defensive shots. She and Alyssa Healy will know every run is vital from this point.

  4. What is the highest chase in women's Tests?

    England will be buoyed by that flurry of wickets, but they won't wish to hear that Australia have already passed the total for the highest ever successful chase in women's Tests.

    That was 198 by Australia against England at Sydney in January 2011. Heather Knight opened for England in that match, so maybe it's passing through her mind.

    The highest fourth innings total in this format was England's 245-9 at Canberra in January last year, as they finished agonisingly short of their target - just 12 runs.

    On only seven occasions have a team scored more than the current Australian lead of 208 in the fourth innings - with six draws and one defeat.

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

    I love this stage of play when you feel like something is happening every ball.

  6. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    Suddenly that lead of 208 doesn't look so big.

  7. Drinks break

    A quick breather as that wicket brings about a drinks break.

    Grab yourself a cuppa, or maybe something stronger. Here's the wicket of Beth Mooney from a little earlier for your enjoyment while we wait for play to restart.

    Phew.

    It came off the toe end of Sutherland's bat. We needed an easy catch and we got one. You need luck on your side.

    This is game on!

    WICKET

    Sutherland c Wyatt b Ecclestone 15 (Aus 198-7)

    Bang. Bang. Bang! Three Aussie wickets gone in no time.

    England are grabbing this Test match by the scruff of the neck! Game on.

    Annabel Sutherland caught in two minds to a shorter ball from Sophie Ecclestone with a pull shot and ends up scooping the ball up to Danni Wyatt at square leg.

    Wyatt, who dropped a tough chance from the bat of Sutherland earlier, gobbles up the catch this time.

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

    It shows like Healy has got some intent here. She isn't here to mess about and wants to get over this bump.

  11. Aus 196-5

    The crowd are absolutely pumped, they sense the moment is here for England as Alyssa Healy, who is on pair, comes to the crease.

    There's a roar from the Trent Bridge stands as the ball goes under a tentative Healy drive but misses the stumps.

    England's players cannot believe it. Breathless stuff.

    Kate Cross celebrates the wicket of Ash GardnerGetty Images

    I'm so happy England put that extra catcher in. This is patience, energy and belief.

    WICKET

    Gardner c Knight b Cross 1 (Aus 196-6)

    GONE! England have some momentum.

    It's brilliantly bowled from Kate Cross, full and straight with a hint of swing, and it takes the edge of Ash Gardner's bat.

    Heather Knight almost fumbles at second slip but clings on.

  14. Umpire review

    England think they have the wicket of Ash Gardner after she edges Kate Cross to second slip, but the umpires are checking to make sure it is not a bump ball.

    Sophie Ecclestone celebrates the wicket of Danni WyattGetty Images

    I feel like Sophie might've gone wider of the crease to draw the batter out there.

  16. wicket

    WICKET

    Mooney b Ecclestone 85 (Aus 195-5)

    Sophie Ecclestone strikes again, and it's the big wicket England wanted!

    Turn and bounce from the England left-arm spinner as she pushes it wider, and it's a bit of a nothing shot from Mooney as she chops on to her own stumps.

    Ecclestone takes the high fives from her team-mates.

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

    Sophie Ecclestone was patient and relentless with her line and lengths to Jess Jonassen a little earlier. Australia felt like they had to pick up the score but instead England got the breakthrough.

  18. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    England have not had the rub of the green today at all, there's been so many chances.

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

    That is frustrating for Cross, she has produced some of her best balls and they have both gone for four.

  20. Aus 195-4

    Kate Cross has been much improved today.

    She bowls a superb fifth-stump line to Annabel Sutherland and finds the edge of the bat with her fifth delivery. It's a fine edge but with Amy Jones stood up to the stumps the ball goes between her and Heather Knight at first slip.

    Agonising for England.
