    We might be OK - the umbrellas are coming down and the cover is coming off!

    The two umpires Russell Warren and Sue Redfern are walking back out to the middle to have a look at conditions.

    The pitch is covered but none of the sheets have been put out so it shouldn't take long to clear up.

    England and the batters are sitting in the dugouts on the side of the pitch.

    It's a good sign that they haven't gone into the changing rooms.

    This is unexpected.

    The forecast told us we wouldn't be getting any rain after around 5ish, but it's heavy. I suspect we'll have the full covers on.

    It's pretty heavy too...

  7. Aus 106-4published at 15 overs

    Arghh!

    Lauren Bell does brilliantly to only concede four singles from her first five balls but then she drifts onto leg stump and Grace Harris is able to swivel and pull to the boundary.

    It's a shame England couldn't get out of the over without too much harm.

    Look how short that delivery to dismiss Ash Gardner was - it pitched in the bowler's own half (the red dot!).

    Lauren Bell is coming back on.

    She has been economical today - and bowled pretty short in her first spell. When she has pitched it fuller, she was hit for runs.

    England have closed on 27-0, chasing 251 to win, in the third men's Test at Headingley.

    Ben Duckett is 18 not out and Zak Crawley nine.

    Follow reaction to day three.

    That's also a hint of what England have been missing with having to manage Nat Sciver-Brunt's overs.

    She was barely able to bowl in the Test but is perhaps England best short-pitch bowler.

    She would have been a handful at Trent Bridge.

    Amy Jones that is absolutely outstanding! Short ball, bouncer from Nat Sciver-Brunt, Amy Jones takes it above her head, Gardner out of her crease and Jones stumps her.

    Amy Jones has made that look easy, but I can tell you it's not. You don't get a signal from the bowler that they're going to bowl a bouncer so that's pure reaction. And she nicked it, so she caught it as well!

    Amy Jones, stop that!

    Nat Sciver-Brunt goes short into the pitch, and it beats the advancing Ash Gardner.

    Or does it? We're hearing it may be caught so there's a thin top-edge on it.

    Jones does brilliantly, taking it in front of her face, and to be safe she whips off the bails for the stumping.

    That's a great chance. A great dive from Sciver-Brunt, she actually caught it, she had it in her hands but it bounced out. She's one of the best fielders in the world, I think if she's dropping it most people are. Brute force from Ash Gardner.

    Brilliant effort.

    Ash Gardner clips Sophie Ecclestone into deep mid-wicket and Nat Sciver-Brunt comes rushing round.

    The England all-rounder has got distance to make up and has to dive forward and can't quite hold on.

    It's a really good effort, and she's unlucky in the end.

    Gardner 29, Perry 3

    Punished.

    Short and wide from Sophie Ecclestone and Ash Gardner crunches it through the covers for another boundary.

    Ecclestone grits her teeth in frustration, before having a little smile.

    Alice Capsey did a brilliant dive to stop the ball. It just trickled back onto the the boundary sponge. Alice and Sophie Ecclestone share a laugh, Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum, they're best friends.

    Sarah Glenn came back really nicely, after the boundary from the first ball.

  18. Aus 84-3published at 12 overs

    Heather Knight is regularly rotating her bowlers at the moment.

    She returns to Sarah Glenn, who went for 16 in her first over.

    The leg-spinner is clubbed straight back down the ground for another first boundary first up, but comes back well.

    If England win, they could be the first side to win a series against Australia since 2017.

    One thing is for certain, despite getting out Australia's top three, the batting will keep on coming at England.

    Ash Gardner and Ellyse Perry are batting at the moment and Grace Harris, Annabel Sutherland, Georgia Wareham and Jess Jonassen are all still to come.

    All are seriously good with the bat.
