England get a win after losing their first match yesterday. Great performance from Heather Knight who is Player of the Match for her career-best innings that rescued England early and then she did it again in the super over, besting Ellyse Perry with two powerful strikes. Australia looked rusty and have work to do ahead of their clash with India tomorrow.

Justin: "So why didn't Kimmince and Sutherland not continue??"

Rohit Verma: "Did Gardner not try to steal another run on a bit of overthrow on the last ball? Saving wicket for nothing??"

Thanks for your company from Canberra.

Knight is on strike.

Meg Lanning is not on the field for the super over. She must be injured. Not sure what then issue is. Rachael Haynes is captaining. Ellyse Perry will bowl the over. Heather Knight is the form player for England and will bat alongside Dani Wyatt.

END OF OVER:
1 | AUS-W: 8/0

Just 8 runs off the over. Superb bowling from Ecclestone and probably deserved at least one wicket. England need 9 runs to win.

Ecclestone to Healy, no run, appeal for stumping! It goes upstairs to the TV umpire. She advances to a length ball and tries to slog sweep but plays over the top of it. Jones takes it and whips the bails off but Healy got her bat back down just in her follow through and it's not out

Sophie Ecclestone will bowl again for England. Healy on strike.

Australia will bat first in the Super Over. Ash Gardner and Alyssa Healy will open for Australia. Odd move. Gardner faced 13 dots in 20 balls today.

END OF OVER:
20 | AUS-W: 156/8 (1 run required, RR: 7.80)

Tied game. A super over is coming up! Extraordinary finish. Great batting from Sutherland and Kimmince when the game looked gone. Super Over coming up. Australia will keep batting. Who do they send out?
