"No doubt that would have been a hard loss for England, chasing 180," Dan Marsh, Australia's assistant coach, said. "We know what we'll do is we'll scrap and fight, no matter what total we put on the board, if we're batting first. And if we're chasing, the same thing applies, we won't leave anything out there chasing that total."

"We've been really happy with our bowling performances," Sciver-Brunt said. "[We need a] little switch with the bat. Obviously, the other day we were disappointed for a number of reasons. We can't really dwell too much on what's already happened. We can't really change that. So the only thing we can change is what's in front of us.

"The skills required for it are already within us. It's just a little bit of a mindset shift in terms of sticking to our strengths and being willing to use those in any moment. From that perspective, being a bit more proactive not necessarily being reckless but being smart with that and using our strengths to take pressure off ourselves."

"I think when the wicket's a little bit drier, it tends to hold up and spin a little bit, so I think she [Wareham] would definitely come into the mix," Marsh said.

Describing Wareham as more "skiddy" to face than King, Sciver-Brunt continued to stress the importance of being proactive with the bat. "For me, that looks like being quick on my feet, playing off the back foot quite a lot," she said. "Being smart with my options, but not necessarily going into my shell too much."

"It's hard to see someone put themselves out there so much and for it to not get over the line," Sciver-Brunt said. "Having been in fairly similar situations myself, I know that it's a tough one to take. She's all right. She will have done a lot of reflecting and we've obviously chatted about it."

Australia, for their part, also know they have been below their best with the bat, particularly during the collapse of 8 for 49 in Melbourne. However, even if faced with another tricky surface, there won't be any thought given to tempering their ambitions, with Marsh specifically referencing wanting to put more pressure on Bell with the new ball.

"We feel like we've got the batting line-up and the depth to push the boundaries," Marsh said. "We didn't bat our best in the last game, there's no doubt about that, but these girls, they're quick learners and they're very, very skillful, so I expect to see a bit of batting performance tomorrow."
