    WICKET

    Jones c Sutherland b McGrath 3 (Eng 110-5)

    I think we can call this a collapse now.

    Jones chips McGrath's ball into mid-wicket for two, she then goes for the same shot from the following delivery and Sutherland runs forward to take the ball diving in front of her, 15 yards in from the boundary.

    England have lost 4-12 in 13 deliveries.

    I fear for England now.

    England, once again, just as they were on Saturday, are relying on a big innings from Amy Jones.

  4. Eng 110-4

    Sutherland beats the outside edge of Jones - it was almost a third wicket.

    The England wicketkeeper responds by pushing her past point for a single and her first run.

    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Once Australia open the door, they all climb in. It's the short ball which has done for England again. It got Dunkley and now Capsey. I'm not sure if it's a weakness for England.

  6. Eng 109-4

    Amy Jones fends off the hattrick ball, pushing the ball towards midwicket.

  7. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    That's done nothing - it's a cross-seam delivery and it pitched on off stump and hits off stump. England were in control but now they find themselves four down.

  8. wicket

    WICKET

    Knight b Sutherland 0 (Eng 109-4)

    Not a landmark Heather Knight will be keen to remember!

    She's bowled by a regulation delivery by Sutherland, who now finds herself on a hatrick.

    Suddenly England are looking a little shaky.

  9. wicket

    WICKET

    Capsey c Healy b Sutherland 5 (Eng 109-3)

    Short and sweet from Capsey. A massive top-edge from Sutherland and Alyssa Healy runs back to take the catch.

    In comes Heather Knight, for her 100th T20 international appearance.

  10. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Danni Wyatt is riding her luck today.

  11. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    I just love how confident Alice Capsey is.

  12. Eng 109-2

    Alice Capsey is England's new batter and she gets a four from her second delivery with a lovely reverse shot.

    Wyatt joins her in getting the boundary with a fortunate ball running away to the ropes.

  13. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Nat Sciver-Brunt will walk off and the coach Jon Lewis will say 'It's ok, if you'd have hit it harder, it've been six'. That's the kind of mentality England have.

  14. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    It was slightly fuller from Ash Gardner and Sciver-Brunt just couldn't get under it.

  15. wicket

    WICKET

    Sciver-Brunt c Sutherland b Gardner 23 (Eng 100-2)

    Sciver-Brunt takes four from Gardner, eluding the fielder at the mid-wicket boundary... but she's out next ball!

    Lofted straight down the throat of Annabel Sutherland at long-on.

    Darcie BrownGetty Images

    Darcie Brown is bowling through, which seems to be a tactic from Australia - use pace up front and then spinners at the end of the innings.

  17. Eng 96-1

    Two for Wyatt, hitting a lofted ball that lands safely.

    Brown finishes with figures of 4-31 from her four overs.

  18. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Nine times out of 10 that clatters into the stumps. Put the lottery on, Danni Wyatt...

  19. Aus 94-1

    Darcie Brown is back for her final over.

    Nat Sciver-Brunt punches her first ball back past her and it's cut-off by a diving mid-off.

    She elicits a thick edge from Wyatt and the ball squirts behind square for four.

  20. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    This has been so good from England.

    They have been proactive and taken the game to Australia.

    We didn't see that in the opening T20 because of the wickets they kept losing in clusters.
