  1. Aus 17-0

    Georgia Voll clubs the free hit for four.

    Problems for England and Bell.

  2. Aus 12-0

    Not ideal.

    Lauren Bell bowls so wide that it's off the strip and it beats Amy Jones to run away for four.

    It's called a no-ball so this'll be a free hit next.

  3. Matthew Henry

    England buzzing in the field. Crowd getting involved.

  4. Aus 6-0

    Chance!

    Bit of miscommunication between Voll and Mooney which sees the former stranded halfway down the pitch.

    Lauren Bell collects the ball in her follow-through but her throw misses.

  5. How's stat?!

    The key wicket for England early on here is Beth Mooney - she averages 66 in finals for Australia.

    This may be why Charlie Dean has come on to open the bowling - Mooney’s strike rate falls to 115 when facing off-spin.

  6. Aus 6-0

    Target 151

    Excellent recovery from Dean after that boundary.

    And if you were wondering about why she was tasked with opening the bowling...

  7. Not out

    As you were.

    Pitching outside leg - good review.

  8. Aus review

    But that was!

    Georgia Voll is given out lbw next ball.

    She sends it upstairs but looks a good shout.

  9. Aus 4-0

    Okay, well I don't think that was the plan.

    Georgia Voll slams the first ball down the ground for four.

  10. Interesting.

    Charlie Dean will open the bowling!

  11. The umpires are in the middle, and England are all smiles as they gather for one last huddle on the boundary edge.

    Georgia Voll and Beth Mooney are skipping and leaping their way out to begin their chase.

    Ready?

  12. Thanks, Elizabeth.

    The consensus here in the press box is that England are about 15 runs short - but it's not the easiest pitch to bat on, and England have such a formidable spin attack.

    Now would be a great time for the performance of their lives.

  13. So, 151 is the magic number. Can England maintain their unbeaten record at home World Cups or will Australia add yet another trophy to their collection?

    Here's Ffion Wynne, from Lord's, to take you through Australia's chase.

  14. What do you think? Have England got enough? Will the nerves of the chase stifle Australia? And which bowler can be England's matchwinner on this Lord's pitch?

    You have got to keep picking up wickets against the Australians, haven't you? How important is the powerplay going to be?

    We know that Australia love to take it to the opposition with the bat. You expect Lauren Bell to get a little bit of movement.

  16. England lost both openers inside the powerplay and had Alice Capsey bowled while reverse sweeping as they limped to 68-3 at the halfway mark.

    Heather Knight fell for two but Freya Kemp injected some much needed energy alongside captain Nat Sciver-Brunt, who scored a half-century.

    Kemp flashed 44 off 28 and shared an 80-run partnership off 55 balls with Sciver-Brunt.

    Kim Garth (1-20) and Lucy Hamilton (1-19) were the pick of the bowlers while Georgia Wareham conceded just nine runs from her two.

    It's a score. But it's not a big one.

  18. Eng 150-4

    13 off the final over brings England to a round 150.

    Nat Sciver-Brunt finishes on 58 (53) while Freya Kemp is not out on 44 (28).

    It's not a lot for England to defend. Can they deny Australia a record-extending seventh title?

  19. 6 runs

    Eng 147-4

    Freya Kemp, on one knee, goes down the ground!

  20. Eng 141-4

    Single. Two. Single. Good bowling from Sophie Molineux.
