Day four: Australia's Lisa Sthalekar sweeps off-spinner Laura Marsh as Australia look for quick runs to push for an early declaration
Left-arm spinner Holly Colvin takes three wickets, but cannot prevent Australia from compiling a 272-run lead, giving England an uncomfortable two sessions to bat out for a draw
England's response begins in the worst possible fashion when Caroline Atkins is trapped lbw by Sarah Andrews for a duck to leave England precariously placed at 1-1 before rain halts play
But heavy rain thwarts Australia's hopes as skipper Charlotte Edwards steadies England's nerve with a chanceless 53 as she shakes hands with opposite number Jodie Fields at stumps

Sarah Andrews and her team-mates are made to toil as a diligent 59-run last-wicket stand between Laura Marsh and Holly Colvin takes England to 268
Australia begin positively, with openers Shelley Nitschke and Alex Blackwell putting on 49 for the first wicket as the tourists finish day three on 128-1

More rain forces the players off for an early lunch but after the re-start Charlotte Edwards' side swiftly take the two remaining Australia wickets to bowl the tourists out for 309

Fields soon reaches her century as the pair share a record a sixth-wicket stand partnership of 229 - the fifth highest stand of all time in women's Test match cricket
England skipper Charlotte Edwards is left to wonder where it all went wrong after such a bright start as the Aussie pairing keep piling on the runs
But England finally have something to cheer again as play draws to a close on day one with Brunt taking the vital wicket of Fields. Haynes is also dismissed before the close of play to leave Australia on 271-7
