  1. 6 runs

    Eng 102-1

    And now it is six!

    Tammy Beaumont is on the move again, she picks the slower ball and abslurely hammers it over long-off.

    This is incredible stuff from England.

  2. Eng 96-1

    Four more!

    Tammy Beaumont is dancing down the pitch again but slaps the ball into a gap in the off-side this time.

  3. Melinda Farrell

    That was a baseball swing, love to see it.

  4. Eng 92-1

    Stand and deliver from Tammy Beaumont as she skips down the track before smashing a baseball-style flat-batted shot over mid-off for four.

    England are racing along.

    There's so much less pressure on England in this run chase now.

  6. Eng 87-1

    Beaumont 33, Capsey 26

    To put England's start into context, their current rate is 8.23, well ahead of the required rate of 4.51.

    Extras are continuing to help England's cause as Megan Schutt bowls another wide. The 15th of the innings so far.

    Wayne Ellis: Hard to remember Alyssa Healy having a worse game behind the stumps.

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

    That's a proper shot, dismissive. She means business and wants to show she will and can score quickly.

  9. Eng 84-1

    Tammy Beaumont is enjoying herself out there if the beaming smile on her face is anything to go by. She cuts Annabel Sutherland away for her sixth four of the innings already.

    That concludes a brilliant powerplay from England, keeping themselves on top of the run rate.

  10. Another bowling change for Australia as Annabel Sutherland comes into the attack.

    If Issy Wong is not playing in this series due to form, then can someone tell me why Sophia Dunkley is still being picked? As much as I like Sophia's batting, her form throughout this series has been poor.

    Gordon, Elgin

  12. Eng 76-1

    That's another brilliant shot from Alice Capsey.

    The ball is arrowing towards he leg stump but Capsey steps back to give herself some room before playing a cut fine through deep third for four.

  13. Australia have not waited long to turn to Megan Schutt. She is into the attack in place of Darcie Brown.

    It was an interesting decision to open with Perry when you have Megan Schutt who is able to angle the ball in.

  15. This is the only England wicket to fall so far, with Ellyse Perry getting one to jag back into Sophia Dunkley and peg back her off stump.

    I can't remember when Australia last bowled this badly.

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

    Capsey got four fours from that over, a dismissive start. They are on top of this game!

  18. Eng 69-1

    Target 264

    Alice Capsey is at it again as she clatters the ball through mid-wicket for her fourth boundary of the innings. She has raced on to 20 from 15 deliveries.

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

    Alice Capsey is really starting to look comfortable at the crease.

  20. Eng 65-1

    Three boundaries in a row! Alice Capsey is smashing all around the park here.

    Australia are looking a little rattled.
