38.1 to SIR Dunkley, chipped straight back! Dunkley has battled away, more intent on survival than scoring runs – but she now gifts a return catch to King. There was dip and flight on the ball, as ever, but Dunkley ends up playing too straight as she stepped to leg. The TV umpire is checking it wasn’t a bump ball… but it wasn’t. Australia break England’s first substantial stand of the Test. 97/4
48.4 to DN Wyatt, terrific catch! Brilliant from Litchfield at silly point. Tossed up full, Wyatt-Hodge closes the face and the leading edge goes straight of Litchfield who is able to dive to her right two balls after being whacked by that drive. 127/5
52.2 to S Ecclestone, taken at cover! Another soft one. Tossed up at off stump, Ecclestone tries to drive over the off side and picks out the packed off-side ring. 131/7
58.6 to Nat Sciver-Brunt, bowled ‘er! NSB pays the price for going back on her stumps. King turns it from leg to hit middle as she swats across the line. Maybe stayed a touch low, too. Fourth wicket for the leggie and England’s main line of resistance departs. 144/8
