It feels like a good time to bring Lauren Bell back into the attack.

Lauren Bell is coming back on.
Heather Knight continues to put her trust in the youngster.

Sutherland b Dean 18 (Aus 192-8)
Is this the game and series victory for England?
Heather Knight does opt to remove Sophie Ecclestone from the attack and she turns to Charlie Dean instead.
The off-spinner strikes with her second ball as Annabel Sutherland effectively yorks herself, and the ball crashes into leg stump.

How big a moment could this be?
Here's Danni Wyatt and Kate Cross combining to run out Ash Gardner.

Nat Sciver-Brunt has been absolutely brilliant with the ball in the white-ball series. I can't help but think about what might have been if she was fully fit in the Test.
She beats the outside edge of Jess Jonassen to end the over, and hangs her head to the sky in frustration.

Former Australia batter on BBC Test Match SpecialAmy Jones may have just made my Ashes team. Amy Jones with the gloves in this series has made all of the difference for England.

Wareham st Jones b Sciver-Brunt 14 (Aus 190-7)
Brilliant from Amy Jones.
Georgia Wareham is looking to drive Nat Sciver-Brunt away, but misses and then over balances.
Jones brilliantly takes the ball and then whips off the bails. It's so effortless and almost in one motion.
England are edging closer.

Has Georgia Wareham been stumped off Nat Sciver-Brunt?
England really like it.
Wareham is walking off.

Former Australia batter on BBC Test Match SpecialAustralia will be thinking about this gradually and just trying to lower the equation.
Aus 189-6published at 32 overs
Need 80 from 72 balls
Brilliant from Sophie Ecclestone, conceding just four from the over.
There's 12 overs left, but Ecclestone only has two now.
How does Heather Knight use them?

Former Australia batter on BBC Test Match SpecialI'd like to see England adjust their fielders to these two batters more, they hit it into very different areas.
Aus 185-6published at 31 overs
Need 84 from 78 balls
This game is anything but done.
A dot is followed by a couple on two occasions, before Annabel Sutherland plays an absolutely beautiful straight drive, on the up, to end the over.
She's a serious talent.

Former Australia batter on BBC Test Match SpecialEngland will have to use the overs of Ecclestone and Sciver-Brunt very carefully.
