    WICKETpublished at 20 overs

    Ecclestone run out Gardner/Healy 22 (Eng 186-9)

    That's gone.

    Ecclestone pushes for an attempted two into mid-wicket. Ecclestone looks like she's struggling and that proves to be correct, she's run-out by Healy. The players are off the field by the time the decision comes in.

  2. Umpire reviewpublished at 20 overs

    We're going upstairs again as the ball is hurled to Healy. This looks close again.

  3. Eng 185-8published at 19.5 overs

    Ecclestone takes a single, before Gardner bowls a horrible wide.

    Last ball incoming.

  4. Not outpublished at 19:31 British Summer Time 5 July 2023

    That's going down the leg. The Australian fielders head back to their positions.

    I don't think there is any bat.

  6. Umpire reviewpublished at 19.3 overs

    LBW appeal for Ecclestone from the bowling of Gardner. Given not out but we're going upstairs.

    Dean takes a single off her opening delivery.

    WICKETpublished at 19.1

    Gone! Ash Gardner has Sarah Glenn with the first ball of the final over.

    A comfortable catch for Brown at short third as Glenn skews high in the air.

  9. How's stat?!published at 19:28 British Summer Time 5 July 2023

    Manhattan

    England are finding their groove towards the back end of the innings.

  12. 6 runs

    Eng 177-4published at 18.5 overs

    Huge! Ecclestone steps forward and dispatches McGrath high over the mid-wicket ropes.

    The first six of the innings!

  13. Eng 171-4published at 18.4 overs

    Ecclestone drops deep into her crease and heaves McGrath away, reaching the square-leg fence with one bounce.

  14. Postpublished at 19:25 British Summer Time 5 July 2023

    This catch to dismiss Amy Jones is indicative of how good Australia are. England have been poor, but the Aussies are pretty untouchable in this mood.

  15. Eng 165-7published at 18 overs

    Down leg from Jonassen and the ball eludes everyone and runs away for four byes.

  16. Eng 161-7published at 17.5 overs

    Sophie Glenn drops to one knee and lifts Jonassen over short fine leg for four.

    I feel like I've aged a lot during that review.

  18. Not outpublished at 19:22 British Summer Time 5 July 2023

    It's a no!

    We finally have our decision on the big screen.

  19. Postpublished at 19:21 British Summer Time 5 July 2023

    We've got multiple angles going on here and I still don't think we're closer to making any sort of decision.

    It is millimetres.

    This is like watching the last round of the X-Factor.
