Australia chase down 151 to win a seventh T20 World Cup title - report
Mooney (64) & Litchfield (48) share 100-run partnership off 66 balls
Sciver-Brunt (58* off 53) holds England together
Kemp adds late impetus with 44* off 28
Ooooooh that would have been an unlucky way to get out. Nat Sciver-Brunt drives down the ground and a sprawling Georgia Wareham nearly gets her fingers to it to direct it onto the stumps. Freya Kemp was falling backwards to try and get back behind the line.
Six from the over.
WinViz is struggling to see past Australia even though we're only a quarter(ish) of the way through this match.

That is a crushing blow for England. Heather Knight, the one to get England out of so many problems, can't do it in this game when the stakes were the highest.
The big-hitting Freya Kemp goes after Kim Garth but it's a big drive and miss at one which shaped away and into the gloves of Beth Mooney.
Knight lbw b Garth 2 (Eng 70-4)
Heather Knight was walking off before the end of the first replay.
Kim Garth's delivery kept low. Absolutely plumb.
'Crushing blow for England' - Knight out for two
The finger goes up! Heather Knight has been given out lbw.
She wanders down for a chat with Nat Sciver-Brunt and they send it upstairs.

That over of 16 helped. It's not ideal. They have to get 10 an over to get 170 and I would have thought they would have liked 170 on the board.

Currently in Bali (I know… horrible right!) It's 11:15pm, no access to radio or TMS and should be sleeping with the footy on in the morning but nothing will stop me following this game!! Come on England!!! Let’s finally get one over the Aussies.

Fantastic to see the quality of cricket we will see this afternoon.

14 players have scored over 150 runs in this tournament - none of the 14 have scored a higher percentage of their runs on the on-side than Nat Sciver-Brunt (77%).

10 overs gone, 10 to go. Australia are on top but England have two experienced heads in the middle in Nat Sciver-Brunt and Heather Knight.
These two rescued England's innings against South Africa on Thursday, but they don't have much time to settle in.
Capsey b Molineux 23 (Eng 67-3)
Out reverse sweeping! Alice Capsey departs for 23 (20).
She had a close call two balls ago but nothing can save her this time.
Sophie Molineux roars.
Alice Capsey is saved by her gloves!
Australia have had enough of Alice Capsey. She was down on one knee attempting a reverse sweep and they want an lbw.

Image source, Getty ImagesThat is brilliant from Capsey. 16 runs coming off the over, two fours and a six.
It's just bringing back those memories of Capsey against Australia in 2023 here at Lord's where she got that quickfire 50.
She used her feet perfectly there. She has taken some confidence and England needed that over.
That's a huge over for England. A couple of fours and a six from Alice Capsey, who finishes it with a well-placed drive to the rope.
16 from it. Not the start Ash Gardner would've wanted.

Alice Capsey with the first six of the afternoon! Sailing over deep mid-wicket.
A boundary!
It's a bit of a loosener from Ash Gardner - full toss - and it's deservedly swatted for four by Alice Capsey.
That wagon wheel (@16.10) is quite astonishing. For anyone listening on the radio or just following along here, I'd like to confirm that Australia don't have nine fielders between cover and mid-on.
"The overs are going by so fast. England are literally being suffocated," says the boss, Higgy.
Annabel Sutherland's second over yields five runs - and one of those was a wide.

It has been three overs since now since England's last boundary. Australia have been really tight here on England.
I feel like one of these two will have to take a risk.
England haven't scored a run in 25% of the ground yet.
