    WICKET

    Litchfield b Dean 48 (Aus 117-2)

    Gone!

    Phoebe Litchfield falls two runs short of her half-century, as she goes back to Charlie Dean but the ball keeps a little low and skids through.

    Wow, England needed that.

  2. 50 runs

    50 for Beth Mooney

    Aus 115-1

    Beth Mooney simply loves batting against England.

    She dabs a single to point and brings up a half-century from 38 balls. It has been chanceless.

  3. Aus 113-1

    Target 151

    Phoebe Litchfield plays an array of sweeps and misses most of them.

    Sophie Ecclestone has her head in her hands in frustration.

  4. How's stat?!

    Australia’s first 100 runs today contained just 15% false shots - England’s on the other hand contained double that.

  5. Aus 111-1

    Beth Mooney gives herself some room, backing away to leg stump, and swipes Sophie Ecclestone for four more.

  6. 6 runs

    Aus 107-1

    Target 151

    Death, taxes and Phoebe Litchfield's reverse sweep.

    An astonishing shot, pinged out of the middle of the bat for six off Linsey Smith.

    What a ridiculously talented player.

  7. Chants of "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie" echo from beneath the press box.

    Yes, we get it. They're very good.

    Definitely an improved England side but Australia still a class above. Jones has been disappointing both with the bat and behind the wicket, and although Sciver-Brunt is still a legend with the bat I do think Dean is a more creative captain.

  9. Aus 98-1

    Target 151

    Halfway through and Australia are making light work of this chase.

    England need something magical to prevent them from reaching a seventh T20 World Cup title.

    It has been an unsual bowling performance from Lauren Bell. She is usually so accurate in the way she goes about it.

  11. Geoff Lemon
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    England need a huge intervention. They need someone to take wickets and they have turned to Lauren Bell.

    That is a gamble. She has 1-27 from her two overs so far.

  12. Aus 96-1

    Target 151

    This is beginning to look like a non-contest.

    Phoebe Litchfield is having a great time, as she helps herself to back-to-back fours off Lauren Bell.

    The first driven down the ground, the second lofted over mid-wicket with a classy swish of the bat.

  13. Australia need less than a run a ball now (64 off 66).

  14. Not out

    Nope.

    Phoebe Litchfield was looking for a second run, but was sent back by Mooney and the dive saves her.

    Seven from the over, including another Phoebe Litchfield straight drive for four.

  15. Umpire review

    Hello!

    From nowhere... has Phoebe Litchfield been run out?!

    What a gift this would be for England. It could be just what they need to get things back on track.

  16. How's stat?!

    Some hope for England fans… Win percentage for teams scoring 50+ in the powerplay in a T20 WC knockout games: 17%.

  17. Aus 79-1

    Target 151

    Here is Sophie Ecclestone.

    But is it too late? Phoebe Litchfield sweeps for four.

    Former England bowler on Test Match Special

    Australia have played with freedom to try and manipulate the field and they have the freedom to back themselves to go over mid-off if the field is up.

    They have taken on the powerplay and not been scared of getting out. We didn't see that from England, it was all a bit tentative at the start.

  19. Aus 72-1

    Target 151

    29 balls for the 50 partnership between Mooney and Litchfield, brought up by a rather lucky edge that races past the keeper for four.

  20. Aus 64-1

    Right then, what have England got? Freya Kemp is into the attack.

    We've spoken so much about their performances under pressure. They did it exceptionally against South Africa in the semi.

    The stakes are as high as ever now and they need to produce something special - and quickly.
