  1. Canada 38-5 Australia

    There's a Mexican wave inside Ashton Gate as Australia clear a kick down field.

  2. Canada 38-5 Australia

    Ah, a forward pass stops this latest attack. This game has almost fallen asleep since that downpour of rain. It's just starting to wake up a bit, but tired mistakes still remain.

  3. Canada 38-5 Australia

    Canada have driven to within 10 metres, they want more.

    Australia know this World Cup has passed but they are hanging on for pride.

  5. Canada 38-5 Australia

    And I think that effort is fizzling out.

    Canada turn the ball over once more and a fab kick in behind gains them loads of yards.

  6. Canada 38-5 Australia

    For all this effort Australia are putting in, they need points.

  7. Canada 38-5 Australia

    Australia win the ball back. They've had all the possession in the second half, although Canada are defending superbly.

    In fact, the second seeds win themselves another penalty off the ball.

  8. Canada 38-5 Australia

    The weather continues to affect this game. Australia's Maya Stewart almost breaks through on the wing but is tackled, and that momentum slides her into touch.

  9. Canada 38-5 Australia

    Just the one score so far in the second half. Australia are knocking on the door once again, 10 metres out.

  10. Canada 38-5 Australia

    The rain is stopping! There's a rainbow over Ashton Gate.

    This is the kind of fight we want to see from Australia.

  12. Canada 38-5 Australia

    The rain continues to thump against the turf. The ball is like a bar of soap and slips out of an Australian's hand in midfield.

  13. Canada 38-5 Australia

    No they can't. Some masterclass defending from Canada. Who are patient and bate an Australian into tackling off her feet to give the Maple Leafs back possession.

  14. Canada 38-5 Australia

    Time for Australia to come again. Can they make this latest move stick?

  15. Canada 38-5 Australia

    Better from Australia who march up the field, but an offload slips out all wrong and all the momentum stops.

  16. Canada 38-5 Australia

    Fans not under cover are getting out of their seats and moving to the back of the stands. Torrential rain.

    No such trouble for Ilona Maher.

  17. Canada 38-5 Australia

    The heavens have opened! It's absolutely hammering it down at Ashton Gate.

    Expect plenty of handling errors.

  18. Canada 38-5 Australia

    Heather Lockhart
    Former Scotland prop on BBC Two

    Forteza is just so strong. That reach of the left hand.

    The first half Canada put pressure on Australia by running over and being on top of them. This second half, it's the little taps.

    Try - Canada 38-5 Australia

    Fabiola Forteza (con Sophie de Goede)

    Australia's sloppiness is punished.

    From the botched line-out Fabiola Forteza races through Australia's line, trips, but still has enough to time to crawl forward and stretch over under the posts.

    Too good. Canada are almost there.
