Megan Schutt to Lauren Winfield, OUT! CAUGHT! Absolute superb start for Australia as they get dangerous Lauren Winfield without opening the account. Talk about that catch as well from Annabel Sutherland, wonderful! Schutt goes wide of the crease and angles a full ball, on middle. Lauren Winfield looks to go over mid on but fails to get any elevation. Annabel Sutherland there charges forward, dives and gets her hand under the ball. The ball was dying but Sutherland did really well to get her hands underneath it. It is taken upstairs to check, soft-signal is out and the third umpire is convinced as well.

Alana King to Tammy Beaumont, OUT! STUMPED! Alana King with a special delivery gets rid of a special batter.

The ball pitches and turns away sharply and Beaumont is beaten in flight. Alyssa Healy wastes no time in whipping off the bails and Beaumont is stumped by quite a fair distance. Huge breakthrough for Australia and a huge blow to England's hopes too. Alana King just patting on the armband, a tribute to the legend who would have loved this kind of delivery.

Still 15 needed off just 4 balls and what a gamble it has been from Meg Lanning.
