    Momentum is swinging England's way and it's largely because of Danni Wyatt.

    Good running brings her a couple, before a beautiful in-to-out drive over the covers gives her four more.

    She's up to 24 off 16 balls.

    Danni Wyatt probably is just one of those that just says keep going. Your margin for error is so small bowling to her.

  3. Eng 210-4published at 41 overs

    Danni Wyatt is on the charge.

    She slices two over point, before beautifully guiding past short third for her first boundary.

    She quickly follows it up with a powerful pull to the fence too.

    Guile and power on show from Wyatt.

    Here's how Alice Capsey was dismissed for just five.

    A crucial innings here from Danni Wyatt, England are trying to get up to that 260/270 mark.

  6. Eng 198-4published at 40 overs

    You can't bowl there at Nat Sciver-Brunt.

    Georgia Wareham strays onto the pads and the England all-rounder just crunches a sweep shot away.

    A decent comeback just sees two singles come from the final five balls, though.

    What a moment, what a player. In the Australian line-up, we talk about how do you get Beth Mooney out, how do you get Ellyse Perry out, we never talk about how you get Nat Sciver-Brunt out. She is a 360 player.

    For the fourth time in five innings against Australia, Nat Sciver-Brunt finds three figures. When England have needed her, she has stood up time and time and time again.

    Nat Sciver-Brunt is the only player to have scored four ODI centuries against Australia. She overtakes New Zealand's Suzie Bates, who has three.

    The GOAT? Quite possibly.

    Back-to-back centuries for Nat Sciver-Brunt.

    She's been nowhere near her fluent best today but we are watching greatness.

    She loves playing against Australia - that is four centuries in her past five ODIs against the world's best team.

    Enjoy it, folks. There aren't many players like her.

    Australia's spinners have been good, they've got so many options they can throw the ball to. The depth they have with the bat and ball is so good.

  12. Eng 185-4published at 38 overs

    Runs off every ball for England as they take seven off Alana King.

    That will be England's aim for each of the remaining 72 balls now.

    Risky running, Nat Sciver-Brunt called it. When Danni Wyatt comes out, you will see lots of energy, plenty of twos.

    "Hit them, Litch" shouts Alyssa Healy as England try and steal a quick single to Phoebe Litchfield.

    The Aussie teenager settles herself, and then throws into the ground, but her throw misses at the non-striker's end.

    Nat Sciver-Brunt had got the full-length dive out anyway, and was probably just about home.

    She has a little smile and laugh with Litchfield.

    Nat S-B’s average over her last 10 ODI innings is over 90. If she gets to 97 not out, it’ll be 100! And if you take the last 9 innings, she’s already at an average of 110!

    That's how England want Capsey to play, take the aggressive option. She just didn't quite get it all. A comfortable catch for Sutherland.

    Soft.

    Alice Capsey comes down the track and looks to hit over the top, down the ground, but she drags it a little bit and gives Annabel Sutherland a simple catch on the long-on boundary.

    It's very rare you see Nat Sciver-Brunt looking frustrated, she's normally very cool and calm.

  20. Eng 173-3published at 36 overs

    Nat Sciver-Brunt might be 86 not out but it feels like she is fighting with herself a little at the moment.

    She's played out a significant number of dots, and even a full toss she's only able to take one.

    Still, the longer she's there, the higher England's total will be come 50 overs.
