England captain Heather Knight:“Really disappointed. I thought that was probably our best bowling performance of the trip. We didn’t quite adapt with the bat.”

Australia bowled well – particularly Tayla Vlaeminck – but for my money, England should have chased that down.
Just some odd shots, some odd decisions, and the lack of runs up top is starting to be a real concern.

Katherine Brunt can only work a single off the final ball of the over, and Australia win!
They’ll play India in Wednesday’s final – and the ominous thing? I think Australia have just played themselves into a bit of much-needed form…

Shrubsole looked like she was gone for all money, but she’s still standing there like she’s in.

I think Meg would always want to finish with pace bowlers, but Jess Jonassen has always been difficult to hit.

Alyssa Healy is terrific value. “I can’t believe it stuck!” she tells the TV commentators.
Anya Shrusbole has come out to join Katherine Brunt, and she can do nothing with the final two balls of Megan Schutt’s spell.

The look on Alyssa Healy’s face tells me she was going in the opposite direction, she’s thrown her right glove out and it’s lodged in the glove. Great bowling from Megan Schutt.

Aaaand that is probably that.
Another terrific grab from Alyssa Healy as Lauren Winfield takes a huge swipe at this latest delivery, and Healy just sticks out a mitt and makes a ridiculously difficult catch look so, so easy.
