Commentator: Andrew Miller
8.19pm Incidentally, if you thought (correctly) that this women's match was exciting, then you are perfectly primed for another humdinger that's brewing in Lyon ... and that has just got very lively indeed!. From Andrew Miller and Valkerie Baynes, good night!
8.15pm First blood to Australia ... but only just! The match looked to be over after England's woeful start with the bat, but a gutsy rally around Nat Sciver's 64 was followed by a feisty display with the ball, led by Sophie Ecclestone, and in the field with Sarah Taylor immense once again. But Alyssa Healy's 66 anchored a tense chase. Two points on the board!
Muneeb: ""Can i get my first ever comment published on ESPNcricinfo?Please"" Go on then... thanks for tuning in!
Manas: "Taylor should give over the gloves to Jones, Beaumont or Knight and focus on her batting. I have noticed that she isn't at her peak since she returned" Did you see her stumping? No way!
