10.36am England openers preparing to head out. Will be a very interesting passage of play coming up

Magnificent performance from Brunt. That's also a proactive move from Meg Lanning to keep the game moving, although Australia didn't really go very far in that half an hour. Certainly movement on offer today under the cloudy skies.

Suren: "Brunt, what a champion!!"

Amy Jones has equalled the most catches by a keeper in a Test innings and is joint second for overall dismissals in an innings.

PeterWarrington: "Proactive by Lanning would have been chucking the bat or declaring overnight. All she did in reality was admit that England had the momentum." - Sure, you can see it that way. Personally don't think there was much wrong in having a look how it panned out for a few overs. If a batter had got going then let them add a few more. Didn't quite work out.

Brunt to Jonassen, OUT, edged, caught behind! Brunt has her five-wicket haul and it's been a brilliant display. In the channel outside off, Jonassen playing away from the body and it's another catch for Amy Jones. And Australia have declared

Jack: "Has there been any chat about why King got the nod over Wellington? Wellington is just a better bowler, with a better record, more attacking with it, and still young. No one seems to want to talk about it, is there a behind the scenes story?" Was certainly a tight initial selection. Wellington now in the World Cup squad, so she was clearly very close
