    5.1 Catching practice for short third and Healy falls to a nothing shot! Back of a length ball outside off, cramping Healy for room. She ends up playing a half-hearted ramp straight into the hands of Capsey, who ain't dropping those. Bell is turning things on at her home ground. 27/2
    1.3 Loud, loud appeal and oh, she's given! Were there two sounds? Nope, Litchfield walks off. Early wicket for England and Bell strikes. Gets the length ball to move back into the left-hander, who wasn't expecting it. She stays rooted to the crease and is struck bang in front of the stumps. 7/1
    46.3 Perry, not playing for the hundred, tries to clear long-off and holes out. She charged down the ground and extended the full-faced drive with as much power as she could but could only get it as far as Dean, the sub fielder. Perry tried to stay leg side and probably gave a tad too much room to herself. 239/6
    18.3 Another softie, Mooney sweeps it straight to short fine leg! Bell has hands on head as she smiles towards her team-mates to celebrate. Maybe she didn't spot it at first. But it was a dolly that came right to her. Slightly shorter than the last ball that Mooney swept for four. This was further down leg too, that probably had Mooney reach out a bit too far. 88/3
    21.1 McGrath nicks off cutting! Good catch from Jones, who kept still, the right side of her body was open and she took it sharply, around top-of-pad height. Short ball from Glenn, just outside off, wasn't all that bad a shot. May have kept it a bit lower than she expected. Through the shot a bit too early too. 102/4
    33.2 Miscued straight to mid-off, who takes a couple of steps to her right and snaps up a good catch! Short of a good length on off. Bell got a bit of bounce as well. Gardner looks to go over mid-off, but does not get it anywhere close to the middle. Ecclestone does well to her right. Bell returns and picks her third. Massive strike. 158/5
    46.6 Sutherland holes out this time, to long-on where Capsey takes a dolly. Ecclestone continued to angle them in from around the wicket, got it full and at the stumps. Sutherland cleared her front leg and tried to smash it straight. Sutherland, unlike Perry, went a bit too far across. Off the bottom again and Ecclestone ends her final over by dismissing both set batters in the space of four balls. 240/7

    11.3 Wasn't happening for Dunkley, and she has now been cleaned up! Gets right across her stumps attempting a paddle, but end up getting a touch too across. Misses and Wareham, who keeps it wicket-to-wicket rattles the off pole. 66/1

    21.1 Leggie's delight - pitches outside leg and tips the top of off. Is that the Ashes slipping away from England? Length ball had Beaumont try defending with the straight bat but the turn beat the edge and the bail flew. Beaumont walks back in resignation. Healy cheered in delight and gives her bowler a big hug. 107/3
    17.2 Has Knight paid the price for paddling again? Given lbw, she reviews quickly. She went across to show the leg stump. The length ball came in, Ultra-Edge confirms no contact with bat or glove. Hit the top-left of the front-foot knee-roll right in front of middle. Three reds, Knight shakes her head as he walks back. Healy's yell in delight was audible, Knight still looks like she thinks she hit it. Review lost 86/2

    23.6 Capsey goes for the bit hit and holes out to deep midwicket!. She danced down the trick and went on to try and launch it across the line. Not to the pitch, got it off the toe. Dolly for Gardner. Not great shot selection under the circumstances, Capsey's positive option doles out a bonus wicket for Australia 123/4
    28.5 Wyatt doesn't survive her top-edged sweep, holes out to long-on! Sutherland runs in to take an easy catch. Another bonus wicket. All five have gone to spin. Wyatt tried to go over midwicket but got it straight. The timing was better than what Nat found three balls ago. It works against her as the ball travels straight to the fielder. 144/5
    38.1 And she strikes immediately. A nonchalant dismissal if there ever was! Fuller on middle, she goes reverse, but the length wasn't there for the shot. Goes through with it and ends up getting a top-edge with the ball spooning to short third. Huge wicket in the context of the game 201/6
    38.4 Loud, loud appeal and the umpire agrees! Ecclestone departs and England are now in all sorts. Flatter full-length ball on the stumps. Ecclestone looks for a sweep, misses and is caught bang in front of the stumps. She has a chat with NSB, and does not take the review. 203/7
