3.53pm How often can we say both teams will are happy at the halfway mark? England, because they have a competitive total in a must-win game that can help salvage a disappointing Ashes tour. Australia, because they could've been chasing close to 170 had Sarah Taylor batted till the end. All said and done, this is an excellent surface. Dew won't be a factor. We should be in for a cracking chase.

18.5

Aley to Brunt, no run, swings through before the ball arrived, the slower delivery dips in to hit the thigh pad. Real close, there was only a stifled appeal, probably because she went outside the line

MikeB: "How can it be a cameo? 32 balls is >25% of a T20 innings!" My apologies, you're spot on. Wake up, me.

Kimmince to Knight, 1 wide, good take down leg, this was veering down. Started from way outside off though

Perry to Brunt, FOUR, hammered back past Perry. Villani from long-on tried to stop but that was a bullet hit and she had no chance. The ball had passed Perry even before she could react on her followthrough. That's how hard it was hit
16.5
0
Perry to Brunt, no run, mistimes a swat to cover. This was a low full toss as well
16.4
W
Perry to Sciver, OUT, flat-bats this straight to Haynes at cover. The bat face turned in her so it skewed up. The bounce did the trick for Perry who hit the deck hard. End of a superb cameo from Sciver
