Tammy Beaumont: Conditions changed throughout the innings. New ball skidded on nicely. We practiced for a lot of spin but it wasn't spinning. Around 25-30 (overs), the pitch really changed and it started to spin. The way that Nat navigated the period was really important. Few little cameos from Deano at the end there. She's just unbelievable (Sciver-Brunt). Doesn't seem to feel pressure while batting. The way she adapted, started off aggressively when the ball was skidding on and then allowing the ball to turn past the bat a couple of times, staying composed. Shows how good she is and how lucky we are to have her in the team. We spoke a lot about trying to be gritty and getting stuck in. We found the conditions to be different in the first 10. For me it was about trying to take the game on and get us ahead of the game knowing it might spin later. Probably a bit disappointed to let Amy down in that way and then get out myself.

Players walking out onto the field. Just about ready for the chase. It'll be Lauren Bell to start, one slip in place.

Mid-innings pitch update from Pommie Mbangwa: When I look down here on the scuff marks, there is dryness. Been difficult for the groundstaff to add moisture because of the weather around. Has been turning from the straight. It's a decent enough wicket, yes it's difficult to score, but if you stay in, you can cash in later.

Oh dear, Athapaththu is flat on the floor and looks to be in pain. Replay shows that she was hobbling while taking that single. Cramp maybe? Physio is out and doing some stretching. Sri Lanka will hope that it's only cramp. Can't afford for anything to happen to their one big star. Wait, a stretcher is being brought out and this isn't looking good at all. Athapaththu is writhing in pain as the physio holds her leg. She's now being stretchered off the field.
