1st over: Australia 1-0 (Litchfield 1, Healy 0) I’m not sure Heather Knight would have reviewed that were it anybody other than Healy. She looked a little reluctant but was talked into it by Jones.

Healy is not out! She missed an attempted pull outside leg stump and Amy Jones was convinced it had brushed the glove. There was a noise, but the technology confirmed it hit Healy’s shirt rather than the glove.
