Aus 101-5published at 13 overs
Need 86 off 42 balls
Can you ever discount Australia while Ellyse Perry is at the crease? And that is before you think about Annabel Sutherland, who made a century in the Test earlier in the series.
Perry slog-sweeps Charlie Dean for four to end the over.
Australia need 12.28 runs an over. A tough ask but not impossible on a fast-scoring ground.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialGrace Harris can barely believe that. But actually she's just missed a straight one, playing across a straight delivery that clatters the stumps. Charlie Dean found herself out of the team in the first game, she's bowling so well today.

Harris b Dean 9 (Aus 96-5)
Bowled her!
This is not a great shot from Grace Harris to be honest.
She looks to turn into the leg side but misses a straight one and Dean smashes into her middle stump.

These sixes from Alyssa Healy were huuuugggggeeee!
Aus 95-4published at 12 overs
Need 92 from 48 balls
Australia are still in this.
Sarah Glenn's line strays and Grace Harris is able to sweep fine for four.
How will England cope if this gets tight? They have often struggled to win the crunch moments in this series and historically against Australia.

Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialThis game is by no means over with these two at the crease. They've got Annabel Sutherland to come as well - so Australia have probably got one more lifeline, but this is a key partnership.
Aus 87-4published at 11 overs
Target 187
Ellyse Perry is so good.
She chips Dani Gibson into the cover boundary, before planting her downtown for four more.
That leaves 100 off 54 balls. Required run-rate of 11.11.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialEcclestone calling on her fielders to get round, calling "Come on, come on!"
That's purely because you don't want to be behind the clock, you don't want to bring another fielder into the fielding circle.

Australia's 'collapse' started with this...
Postpublished at 20:29 British Summer Time 5 July 2023
England lost five wickets for 19 runs in 23 balls earlier.
Australia have now lost four wickets for 16 runs.
It's contagious.

She is encouraging her team-mates to get round now so England stay within the permitted time.
Australia need 110 runs from 10 overs.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialA soft dismissal, Ash Gardner just flicks the ball back to Ecclestone. The simplest of simple catches.
WICKETpublished at 9.3 overs
Gardner c&b Ecclestone 9 (Aus 75-4)
England are surely favourites now!
Sophie Ecclestone had dropped a touch short and Ash Gardner smacked it to the square-leg boundary.
However, there's an immediate comeback from Ecclestone as Gardner just chips a simple catch back to the left-arm spinner.
The left-arm spinner has now taken 100 T20 international wickets. She's the quickest in the world to the landmark too!

Image source, Getty ImagesHuge moment for Gibbo! Second T20 game, first international wicket - Beth Mooney, that'll be a moment she'll never forget.
That said, I've forgotten who my first international wicket is.
WICKETpublished at 9 overs
Mooney c Wyatt b Gibson 22 (Aus 71-3)
Dani Gibson has a first international wicket!
It's a big one too.
Round the wicket to Beth Mooney, she cramps the left-hander for room slightly, and it's a pretty simple catch for Danni Wyatt on the mid-wicket boundary.
Are England favourites now?

Superb effort from Wyatt and some magnificent ball striking late on from England. A real chance here. But watching the collapse made me question how Tammy Beaumont is overlooked for the T20 squad. Surely there is a place for world-class talent?

Former Australia batter on BBC Test Match SpecialAnother thing for Australia is they've got such a deep line-up that they can afford to be aggressive chasing this total.
Aus 66-2published at 8 overs
Target 187
Perfect start for Sophie Ecclestone. Just four runs conceded to go with that run out.
The required run-rate is up to 10.08.
