The Australia bowlers have been out warming up but have now retreated back into the pavilion, ready to make their grand entrance ahead of the start of the England innings.
We're not far away from the restart now.

If England are going to chase this down and take the series lead, they will the sort of significant contributions Australia got from Ellyse Perry and Annabel Sutherland.
The pair went about it very differently, with Perry playing a more composed knock while Sutherland really took the attack to the England bowlers...

Thanks, Callum.
England needed a record ODI chase to keep the Ashes alive on Wednesday. They managed that but now they need to do it all over again!
We could be in for another thrilling/ nerve-shredding run chase...

Time for me to go and reheat my leftover pizza.
Sam Drury will take you through the remainder of the interval and the start of England's chase.

Sophie Ecclestone was probably not at her best today, but she, once again, picked up three big wickets.
She got Beth Mooney, before removing Ellyse Perry and Annabel Sutherland in the same over.

England all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt, speaking on Sky Sports: "The wicket is pretty good, it seemed to be stopping a little bit but the outfield gives you lots of value for your shots.
"We're pretty happy with that total, they did get away in that last over but we're confident that with our batting line-up we can score quickly in the first half and chase it.
"I'll assess it when I'm in there but we've got to keep that positive intent throughout."

Lauren Bell may have gone for 26 in the final over, but she did take three wickets earlier in the innings.
She's only 22 years old so is learning on the biggest stage of them all.

Jack: This last over is winning the game for Australia. Dreadful bowling.
Joe Gibney: Of course 282. Because it's always 282 when it's England vs Australia.
Jason: 282 feels like 20 too many. Hard on Lauren Bell, but she'll learn from it.

I don't really know what to say after that.
The whole office feels shell-shocked.
Can England chase 283? It's not out of the question, but it is going to be one hell of an effort if they do!

BBC Sport at The Ageas BowlGeorgia Wareham has just single-handedly silenced the commentary box, the Ageas Bowl crowd and potentially England's Ashes hopes.
Absolutely brutal hitting.

Lauren Bell's final over goes for 26.
Is that the momentum shift?
Can England pull off a record chase and keep the Ashes alive?

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialI'm not sure Sophie Ecclestone is the person to go up to Lauren Bell and have a word. They must've gone away from the plan a bit.

Six, six, four, SIX!
Full from Lauren Bell again and Georgia Wareham just smacks it mid-wicket.
She's up to 33 off 12 balls! Superb.

Slower from Lauren Bell this time and Georgia Wareham just flat bats it down the ground.
This is a big momentum shift.

Georgia Wareham, what a hand this is!
It's fuller from Lauren Bell but Wareham just plants it between square leg and mid-wicket.
