Australia sets England 357 to win

Well, what a performance from Australia, who end on 5-356 to set England a monstrous target of 357 to win.

Alyssa Healy was stunning, that might be one of the greatest innings we'll ever see in a World Cup final, 170 runs of the highest quality from the Australian opener.

England, despite a promising start, were utterly insipid with the ball, only taking their wickets when Australia were frankly giving them away with a side order of chips.

They'll need to chase this target at over 7 runs per over, however, they will take heart from the fact that they came within 12 runs of chasing down Australia's 310 in Hamilton earlier in the tournament.

If they are going to get anywhere close to that score though, they'll need to bat sensibly early and then accelerate late, just as Healy and Rachael Haynes did.
