    Ash Gardner is going to spin the ball, she is going to get a good amount of purchase from this wicket.

  2. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    At this stage Australia were 79-2.

  3. Eng 119-2

    Georgia Wareham has brought an element of control after the early carnage.

    We are going to see twin spin as Ash Gardner comes into the attack.

    How well England handle the spinners could be the decisive phase of this game.

  4. The smile did not last much longer, but Tammy Beaumont's brilliant knock has moved England into a strong position.

  5. Here is the first of those two sixes by Tammy Beaumont. The beaming smile says it all.

  6. Eng 114-2

    Target 264

    England's flying start means they are well ahead of the run rate, so they can afford to be patient and pick out the bad balls.

    We have seen 16 fours and two sixes already.

    And there were people calling for Alice Capsey to get dropped. Exciting chase coming.

    Alice Capsey only really knows one way to bat so she is going to keep doing this. England are really flying.

  9. 6 runs

    Eng 113-2

    Outrageous stuff from Alice Capsey as she smashes Megan Schutt back over her head for six!

  10. Eng 105-2

    Target 264

    Three wickets and a wicket from Georgia Wareham's first over.

    We won't see spin from both ends as Megan Schutt comes on for her third over.

    Good innings, Tambo!

    Skipper Heather Knight is the new batter. Can Australia wrestle back the momentum?

  13. Anya Shrubsole
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    That was a poor ball from Wareham, it bounced a bit more than Beaumont was excepting. Spin does the trick.

    The move to spin works for Alyssa Healy, but has it come too late?

    WICKET

    Beaumont c McGrath b Wareham 47 (Eng 103-2)

    And the switch to spin works!

    It is a bit of a drag down in truth, but Tammy Beaumont rocks back and clubs it straight to Tahlia McGrath at mid-wicket.

  16. And here is some spin. Georgia Wareham is into the attack.

    There is some turn in this pitch.

  17. Anya Shrubsole
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Bringing spin into the attack is going to be a very crucial phase of the game.

  18. We have seen some fantastic hitting from England so far this innings.

    Wow.

    Who expected this?!

  20. Anya Shrubsole
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    It's outstanding batting from England, they're really putting the pressure on Australia.
