FOUR! Squirted away through the gap. Flighted ball around off, Sutherland lunges for it and drives it between point and cover, and the ball speeds to the fence.

Just short! Shorter one on middle, Sutherland rocks back and pulls it fiercely, but flat as well. Danielle Gibson does well to collect it on the awkward bounce and keep it down to a single.

OUT! CAUGHT! Excellent take in the deep and Ellyse Perry fails to add the finishing touches. A real drag-down from Lauren Bell, over middle. Peryy leans back to pull but doesn't go through completely with the shot, just checking the pull a bit. The ball flies down to deep mid-wicket, where Danielle Gibson takes a fine catch running to her left. She also manages to flick the ball back up before touching the ropes and keeps composure to take it on the second attempt.

That's it! Tahlia McGrath gets off the mark instantly and gets the job done. Slower once again from Bell, around the leg pole. Tahlia McGrath clips it between short fine leg and backward square to get a couple of runs. Australia beat England by 5 wickets and get off to a fine start to their warm-up fixtures.
