11th over – Charlie Dean into the attack
Some spin for the first time today, could be a good pitch for someone like Charlie Dean.
Mooney gets back and cuts for a single, bringing Annabel Sutherland on strike.
Tight start from Dean, not allowing Sutherland any room to move. Just the one from the over.
OUT! Healy holes out to the leg side! England up and about!

This is not an easy pitch for taking the bowler on, but Healy was determined to break the shackles. She timed that shot pretty well off her pads, but misplaced it straight down the throat of Beaumont on the square leg boundary.
Australia three down now, and some big names have been sent packing. England can sense an opportunity.

10th over – Sciver-Brunt it is again
Going to be a good day for slower balls and changes of pace. The pitch is slow and dry.
FOUR! Healy gets sick of waiting and slogs one over midwicket for four. Risky, but well struck.

9th over – Bell to bowl her fifth
SHOT! Mooney gets a full one and belts it through cover for four. Lovely shot.
Misfield from Sciver-Brunt at mid-off allows Mooney to take a single.
Neat from Healy off her pads now into the midwicket gap. Two more to her tally.
One more for the skipper down the ground and another over comes to a close.

8th over – Nat Sciver-Brunt into the attack now
Amy Jones is up to stumps on what is a slow wicket. Sciver-Brunt is bowling to Healy who has struggled to get going so far.
DROPPED! Healy tried to get after one but skied it straight up towards mid-on. Filer was running back with the flight but never looked settled or confident. Barely got a finger on it in the end.
A single apiece to Healy and Mooney from the over, but the missed chance is the real talking point.

7th over cont – Three to come for Bell
Beth Mooney is the new batter in and is off the mark with two off her pads through midwicket.
Two more for Mooney off the tires, this time behind square on the leg side.
A successful over for Lauren Bell comes to an end.
OUT! Perry falls into the trap! Caught at short fine leg!
The champ is out cheaply. Fine leg had come up inside the ring, and Perry either didn’t realise or didn’t care. She tried to whip one off her pads but succeeded only in chipping a catch into Filer’s lap.
Big moment for England.

7th over – Bell to bowl her fourth
Perry tries to get after a full one, playing a lofted drive just wide of mid-on. She takes two to get off the mark.

6th over – Filer steaming in again
SHOT! Filer drops one a fraction too short and Healy unleashes. A crunching pull shot in front of square, no need to run for those.
And that one boundary has thrown Filer’s radar off. Two successive wides follow it.
Brilliant fielding from Wyatt-Hodge at point saves a boundary there. Healy crunched that pull shot but the full length dive stopped any run.
A loose over from Lauren Filer, six from it all up.

5th over – Bell to bowl it
She opens up her third over with a wide down the leg side.
Not a whole lot of pace in this wicket so Healy has to be careful. She bunts one to the leg side and takes the quick single.
Two runs from that over. No rush early for Healy or Perry.

4th over cont – Filer has three to come
Ellyse Perry is the new batter in. Don’t need to tell you how important a wicket she is for England.
WAS THAT AN EDGE? There was a big noise as the ball went past Perry’s bat, but again it’s given not out. Heather Knight has opted to review at the very last second, only because it is Ellyse Perry really. What was that noise?
Big fat gap between bat and ball the whole way through. There was a noise, but it didn’t really seem to time up properly with the shot. Bit of a weird one, but Perry survives. England is now all out of reviews with 46.1 overs to come.
So a dramatic over! Five runs, two reviews and a wicket from it.
OUT! DRS shows a Litchfield glove down the leg side!
Just the tiniest little tickle on the glove from Litchfield, but the snicko showed it up clear as day. I think Litchfield gave the game away a little with the “oh no…” after the ball went past.
A good start for Litchfield but no more than that.

4th over – Filer to bowl another
Too straight from Filer and Healy helps herself to a single off her pad.
SHOT! Sheeeeesh. Just about the shot of the series so far from Litchfield. You will not see a better on drive, straight back past the bowler from the middle of the bat for four. Glorious.
ANOTHER SHOUT! Again England is interested in a potential glove down the leg side. One review already down, do they risk another? They do! Let’s have another look.
44m agoThu 16 Jan 2025 at 11:15pm
3rd over – Bell continues
Healy gets a straight one and clips it off her toes to fine leg for one. She’s off the mark.
FOUR! Litchfield advances again and whips it over square leg for the first boundary of the day. The fielder was interested, but not quite tall enough.
The one that angles across Litchfield continues to cause her problems. She’s a bat-on-ball type of player and is prone to nicking those ones.
SMASHED! But she can also charge at a bowler and whack her over her head for four. What a shot that is.
Real purpose to Phoebe Litchfield today. Nine off that over.

2nd over – Lauren Filer to open up from the other end
Filer had all sorts of issues in Melbourne with her landing foot at the crease. She was slipping and sliding all over the place and it clearly impacted her confidence on the day. Let’s see how she fares today.
Litchfield crunches a couple into the off side, but straight to fielders.
Really proactive footwork from Litchfield, looking to walk at the bowler regularly. It helps her get that one away off her pad for two to square leg.
Only the two from the over though, steady start all round.

‘Pretty dry, could get hard later on’
Whats the deck like?
– Deck Chat Anon.
According to Alyssa Healy, anyway.
It’s a used wicket, so Australia will be hoping to make the most of it early.
Big first innings totals are the norm here at Bellerive Oval.

1st over – Lauren Bell will get this one underway
So here we go. A bit of now or never about this for England. Bell has the brand new ball and will be delivering it to Phoebe Litchfield to kick off the third ODI.
A bit of in-swing from Bell to the left-hander. Litchfield walks down the wicket and clips one to fine leg to begin the scoring.
A pretty gentle start here from Bell. Healy watchful with the front-foot defence before leaving a wide one. Not sure this pitch will be offering up too many surprises.
BIG SHOUT! Now did that glance Healy’s glove or her thigh pad through to the keeper? Looked pretty glovey to me! Not out is the call, but they’ve sent it upstairs for a review.
It’s thigh pad! An excellent call from the umpire, because that was very close to Healy’s glove. Not out was the call, and not out it remains.
One from the opening over.
