ENG vs AUS, Women's WC Final
Welcome back for the chase. Nat Sciver-Brunt has her troops in a huddle, reinforcing the plans before her side takes the field. It will be the left-hand, right-hand combination of Beth Mooney and Georgia Voll to open the innings for Australia. Neither Lauren Bell nor Linsey Smith, but England are starting with Charlie Dean. Voll is on strike. Let's go...
... THE RUN CHASE ...
Looking ahead - Right then, 151 is what Australia need to clinch their seventh Women's T20 World Cup title. If they get over the line, it will be the highest successful chase in a Women's T20 World Cup final, eclipsing the previous record of 149, set by West Indies against Australia in the 2016 title clash. England's bowlers do have the advantage of knowing what worked for their Australian counterparts. Taking the pace off the ball proved highly effective on this surface, and expect England to lean heavily on those variations as they look to defend 150.
Kemp fueled the finish - England couldn't quite make the Powerplay count. In truth, Australia simply didn't allow them to, keeping things tight and removing both openers inside the first six overs. She did it in the semi-final against South Africa, and Nat Sciver-Brunt was at it again. She, like the rest of England's batters, had to battle the slowness of the surface, but held the innings together for her side. It was Freya Kemp who took the pressure off the England skipper, providing the injection of impetus her side desperately needed. In their 55-ball stand worth 80 runs, Kemp was the dominant partner, taking the attack to Australia and batting through to guide England to 150.
England end up with 150 - 45 runs came off the last 5 overs, and that has lifted England to a competitive total. Australia had their rivals in check for the most part, and one feels they would have taken this target at the start of the game.
England Women finish on 150/4. On a flatter trajectory, full in length, around off. Kemp clears the front leg away and slogs it hard on the bounce to Perry at long on for a single. 13 runs off the final over. Is that total enough against the six-time champs? Only time will tell.
Good running! Short and around off, Freya Kemp hangs back and heaves it across to deep mid-wicket, and the call is for the second run. Nat Sciver-Brunt puts on the afterburners to complete the second run. Sophie Molineux fails to collect the throw from the deep, which allows the England captain to rush back in.
SIX! Straight as an arrow! Precious runs for England, these. Angled across the stumps by Sophie, full and outside off. Freya Kemp plants her back knee into the pitch after shuffling a bit, gets her bat under the ball and hammers it down the ground for a cracking six.
Bowling to her field! Full on middle, angled in. Nat Sciver-Brunt walks out of the crease and whips off the pads to deep mid-wicket for just one.
Drops it full and around middle and leg. Nat Sciver-Brunt backs away and lofts it inside-out over wide mid off. Ashleigh Gardner runs across to her left and cuts it off. Two taken.
Quicker from around the stump. Full outside off. Kemp shuffles outside off and hammers it down to long on for a single.
Sophie Molineux has taken it upon herself to close out the innings. 3-0-19-1 so far for the Aussie skipper.
Top-drawer execution by Annabel. Just 6 runs from the penultimate over! Nails the yorker in, and gets it to tail on the pads. Nat Sciver-Brunt's head falls over as she shovels it out off the outer half of the bat.
