Ellyse Perry is going to hold the key to the remainder of this innings.
She's looked in superb touch.
Aus 197-5published at 40 overs
Decent over for Australia.
Seven runs come off it and they'll be looking to match that in each of the final 10 overs as a minimum.

England all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialSarah Glenn's done really well to get there, but it's just bounced short. She prevented the boundary.
Aus 195-5published at 39.3 overs
That's going to hurt!
Ellyse Perry looks to slog sweep away, and Sarah Glenn, at fine leg, initially comes in for the catch.
She can't get there and it drops a fair bit in front of her, but it bounces up and hits her in the face.
After a quick check over she's fine to continue thankfully.

How will Heather Knight get through the final 11 overs? Ecclestone has two overs left, Nat Sciver-Brunt and Lauren Bell each have four left, Sarah Glenn has three and Alice Capsey has only bowled two overs.

England are in a decent position, but it could be even better...

England all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialIf England can keep it between 250 and 270 they will be really happy, they won't want to chase too much more than that.
Aus 185-5published at 38 overs
A good over from England, and the sort they needed.
Nat Sciver-Brunt returns and concedes just one single.
The next 12 overs may well decide the Ashes. They feel huge.

England all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialThat's Perry at her best, a little shimmy down the wicket, straight down the screws and it goes all the way.
Aus 184-5published at 36.4 overs
Are we seeing a more aggressive approach from Australia?
It does feel like they have been a bit cautious with the bat in the series so far, but there are signs that is starting to change.
Ellyse Perry takes a little step down the pitch and plants Sophie Ecclestone back over her head for six.

Want to watch Sophie Ecclestone take a blinder to dismiss Ash Gardner?
Of course you do.

Perry 64, Sutherland 17
Annabel Sutherland follows that boundary with another through mid-wicket.
The all-rounder is up to 17 off 14 balls. She's flying.

England all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialBeautiful shot. Sutherland has come out, looked to be positive. There's more chance of wiping out the umpire than Lauren Bell catching that.
Aus 168-5published at 35.2 overs
Oh, shot.
Annabel Sutherland absolutely drills Lauren Bell back down the ground for four. It almost takes the umpires' head off in the process too.
Aus 164-5published at 35 overs
Just two singles from Sophie Ecclestone's over.
England have bowled well again.
