what a way to end it! Fired down the leg side, Taylor cannot gather ... and it's all over! What a thrilling match, what an anticlimactic end!

8.19pm Incidentally, if you thought (correctly) that this women's match was exciting, then you are perfectly primed for another humdinger that's brewing in Lyon ... and that has just got very lively indeed!. From Andrew Miller and Valkerie Baynes, good night!
8.15pm First blood to Australia ... but only just! The match looked to be over after England's woeful start with the bat, but a gutsy rally around Nat Sciver's 64 was followed by a feisty display with the ball, led by Sophie Ecclestone, and in the field with Sarah Taylor immense once again. But Alyssa Healy's 66 anchored a tense chase. Two points on the board!
Muneeb: ""Can i get my first ever comment published on ESPNcricinfo?Please"" Go on then... thanks for tuning in!
Manas: "Taylor should give over the gloves to Jones, Beaumont or Knight and focus on her batting. I have noticed that she isn't at her peak since she returned" Did you see her stumping? No way!

Shrubsole to Kimmince, 1 run
wide and slashed in the air, in the gap between point and extra cover ... the good news for England is that Wareham is back on strike
Darren: "Sorry to distract you from the conclusion of this great match but is Taylor wearing pads at keeper?" Fair question, if so, they are little more than shin pads!

Ecclestone's spell is done, as Wareham is drawn solidly forward. What a supreme spell. What a great finish in store!
Crumbs! Pressure eh ... where's this one headed now!

Ecclestone to Jonassen, OUT
that's a terrible stroke and England have the breakthrough when they least expect it! Leaning back on a terrible leg-side hoick, hoped to clear mid-on, but it's straight down her throat! Oh my word, what a moment! Tempted to go over the top, and tempted to her doom!
