Ellyse Perry is angry with herself as she bowls two wides - these cheap runs will be gratefully received by England.
Two nine-ball overs to begin the innings from Australia.

BBC Sport at BristolThis has been a very un-Australian start to the bowling innings.
It's their discipline that is usually one of the biggest factors in their consistency as a side.
Eng 18-0published at 1.3 overs
Another no-ball from Australia. Extras mounting up already. Sophia Dunkley then pulls the next delivery square through the leg-side for four.
England off to a flyer!
