- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.5 gone, Big big wicket for England. Healy attempts a cheeky reverse sweep but Marsh fires one in on off. Healy was always going to be given if she failed to get bat on it. Looked out too. 50/25.3 it has worked. Good length on middle and leg, Villani misses a simple flick and is struck in front. Was that sliding down though? Looked a tad leg side-ish to me. Umpire Ravi had no hesitation though. Clipping leg at best 41/119.3 direct hit again from long-on, this time. Another run saved and has taken out Lanning. Fullish delivery outside off, swatted down to long-on. Lanning was struggling but was always going to come back for the second. Again, only a direct hit would have had the batsman and that they got 130/513.1 gone. Perry finds midwicket. Big wicket. Full delivery on off, in the slot for the stroke Perry was attempting - a mow over midwicket. But just did not get enough on it. Lobbed straight to the fielder who takes a good overhead catch 86/318.2 direct hit from deep midwicket and Blackwell is well short. The second was definitely on and Blackwell needn't feel too hard done by because that was an exceptional piece of fielding. Worked to deep midwicket who picks up and returns the throw, bang on target from Sciver. 123/420 gone off the final ball. Slow outside off, Jonassen comes down and goes for the big slog but is not quite close enough to the pitch, lobs up for the bowler to take and end Australia's innings 132/6Extras7 (b 1, lb 1, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL132/6 (20 Overs, RR: 6.6)Fall of wickets: 1-41 (Elyse Villani, 5.3 ov), 2-50 (Alyssa Healy, 6.5 ov), 3-86 (Ellyse Perry, 13.1 ov), 4-123 (Alex Blackwell, 18.2 ov), 5-130 (Meg Lanning, 19.3 ov), 6-132 (Jess Jonassen, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10 Beams provides the breakthrough! Dangled up outside off, Edwards shifts outside leg, aims a drive and hits in the air. Lanning pouches it and tumbles onto the ground at extra cover. Captain gets captain. But, is it too late for Australia? 67/113.4 Lanning takes another fine catch. Nice and full, just outside off, Beaumont targets the leg side, ends up skewing a catch to the covers. Lanning dives forward to snap this up 89/217.2 soft, soft dismissal. Soft as wax. Taylor has popped a reverse sweep into the gloves of the keeper. Cutter outside off, she shapes up and lobs it to Healy. She hops and snaffles it. England are fading in the slog overs 103/514.5 The off and leg stumps are knocked out. Sciver shuffles across, and exposes her stumps. This was full and straight. The batsman made no contact with the lap. Timbaaaaah 91/316.2 Villani has a big smile after catching this at long-on! Floated and outside off, drops to one knee and lofts to long-on. Villani snatches it on the rebound. It bobbles out on the first attempt, onto the thigh, and to the hands. Villani sinks low to hold on. She is relieved 97/418.2 bowled'em! The middle stump is sent for a walk. Full length and attacking the stumps, Brunt goes for a massive leg-side heave and does not put bat on it. Glum faces in the England camp 116/618.3 back of a length and outside off, chopped to backward point. They push for a second run off a overthow at the bowler's end. Schutt recovers and flings a throw to nail the stumps down at the keeper's end, sums up England's late implosion. Gunn appears and disappears for 1 117/7Extras17 (b 5, lb 6, w 6)TOTAL127/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.35)Fall of wickets: 1-67 (Charlotte Edwards, 9.6 ov), 2-89 (Tammy Beaumont, 13.4 ov), 3-91 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 14.5 ov), 4-97 (Heather Knight, 16.2 ov), 5-103 (Sarah Taylor, 17.2 ov), 6-116 (Katherine Sciver-Brunt, 18.2 ov), 7-117 (Jenny Gunn, 18.3 ov)
