1.30pm Welcome back. England are in a huddle. A slight delay as one of the umpires is unwell. The players are waiting to get that sorted. It is sorted and we are ready for action. Healy and Haynes the opening pair for Australia. Nat Sciver will open the bowling. A slip in

Ellyse Perry: It was a really good bowling effort by the bowling group, was really cool both the pacers and spinners' efforts. Overall was a great 40 overs. The Test match was certainly helpful for that. Was looking for rhythm and slowly getting into it [on her bowling]. It's [the pitch] OK, a couple of them really shot low, as long as we are positive and we make good decisions with the bat we should chase this down. Phenomenal from both Lanning and Healy, they do take a stack of catches in training, so to come out and do that in a match is great.

1pm: Sorry batting performance from England. They have been shot out for 129. It seemed alright at 40/1 in the 11th over but a spate of wickets including the key ones of Sciver and Knight set England back considerably. Soon it became 68/7 which included a special catch at slip by Lanning. Then Jones and Ecclestone forged a partnership but McGrath came on and polished things off. Should be an easy chase for the hosts. Back for it in 30 minutes...
