Australia is in need of quick wickets as England chases 181 for victory in the second Women's Ashes ODI .The last ball of the over is hit uppishly by Capsey! There's a shout of "catch it!" but it passes Litchfield for no run.The next three balls are much better, and Jones is defending.Capsey was sweating on anything straight, and she finally is able to flick one to the on-side boundary for four.
Drift in, again pitching on off, but this time turning too much. The ball is collected by Healy outside the off stump.Two wickets in as many overs for Australia's spin twins and all of a sudden, the door is slightly ajar for the hosts. Uppish! But safe. Just out of Gardner's reach as Sciver Brunt splays the ball between the bowler and mid-off for a single.Flighted and pitched on leg, Wyatt-Hodge attempts to defend but there's too much turn!King's first deliver is a drag down and is appropriately punished. Pulled in front of square by Sciver-Brunt and to the fence.England's two most experienced batters were well set and looking unfazed.
But Gardner angles one in, Heather Knight attempts to work it to the on side, she gets a leading edge and the ball balloons back to Ash for the most straightforward of return catches.That boundary in the last over was the first in 20 balls, but you wouldn't have known it.! She's on here. Sciver-Brunt gets a straight one and creams it off the pads through midwicket. She's waiting for the bad balls and putting them away convincingly.
