  1. Eng 167-1

    The century is in sight for Sophia Dunkley.

    She moves into the nineties with four through long-off, then adds another boundary off the last ball of Arlene Kelly's over, wristily dispatching the ball behind square.

    Jodi Grewcock has done well to get herself a start. She will definitely want to make the most of it now. Pressure is off her as she has got time on her hands.

  3. Eng 156-1

    A trio of singles of Louise Little's fifth over.

    Jodi Grewcock drives the opening ball to mid-off, where there's a mis-field but England only take the one run.

    I think England will probably have an eye on their ODI record score of 378. They've got nine wickets in hand.

  5. Eng 153-1

    Thanks Adwaidh, England looking very strong here.

    Jodi Grewcock drives Marie Kelly down the ground and Cara Murray does some good work, diving from mid-off and just about keeping her face out of a pile of sawdust used to mark out the bowlers' run-ups.

    Only a single there, but Sophia Dunkley does pick-up her 11th four through the covers, bringing up England's 150 from 155 balls.

  6. Eng 146-1

    England are in a strong position midway through this innings. with Sophia Dunkley leading the charge.

    They've also got plenty of batting still to come, so just how big a total can they post here?

    To find out, I'll hand you over to my colleague Mike Peter, who will guide you through the rest of the innings.

  7. Eng 141-1

    Lara McBride's final delivery is dispatched to the boundary by Sophia Dunkley.

    11 runs from that over and Dunkley looks like she is going for a big score here.

  8. Eng 134-1

    Jodi Grewcock finally has her first boundary, arriving from the 26th ball she has faced today.

    The England batter drives down the ground for four - beautifully timed.

  9. Eng 130-1

    Jodi Grewcock is looking to motor and takes the aerial route but she cannot quite find the placement.

    Luckily for her, the ball drops just short of the fielder in the deep.

  10. Eng 126-1

    While Sophia Dunkley now has 71 from 77 balls, Jodi Grewcock is still searching for fluency and has 12 from 21 deliveries. She is yet to hit a boundary today.

  11. Eng 121-1

    11 runs from that over.

    Sophia Dunkley finds the boundary a second time - this one through third.

    The England batter moves to 68.

  12. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    That's a really good shot from Sophia Dunkley. It wasn't that short and wide, but she reached the boundary at cover point.

  13. Eng 115-1

    Having reached her half-century, Sophia Dunkley seems eager to acclerate.

    The England opener starts the 21st over in style, carving a boundary through deep point.

  14. Eng 111-1

    A pleasing sight on the board that, if you ask me. But respect that others might have a very different view on that total.

  15. Eng 106-1

    England finally get a boundary - their first in almost eight overs.

    Sophia Dunkley punches it through mid-on and it runs away for four despite a valiant dive from the fielder there.

  16. Rufus Bullough
    CricViz analyst

    Brilliant fifty from Sophia Dunkley, with an almost even split of runs on the off and leg-side, which typifies the changes made to her game in 2026. This year she is scoring 52% of runs on the offside, up from 32% three years ago.

  17. 50 runs

    50 for Dunkley

    Eng 100-1

    Sophia Dunkley reaches her half-century from 64 balls.

    The England opener began with some flourish but has had to be patient as the innings has progressed.

    100 is also up for England.

  18. Eng 99-1

    England almost get a much-needed boundary.

    But it's a brilliant piece of fielding from Kia McCartney to cut Jodi Grewcock's shot near the rope.

  19. Phil Long
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    There were 12 fours during the first 11 overs, the last six overs have been without a boundary.
