They will play Australia, who beat New Zealand in the later Saturday game, at Edgbaston.

Chasing a target of 165, England looked to be in control when captain Nat Sciver (41) and wicketkeeper Amy Jones (31) formed a 54-run partnership for the fourth wicket.

Then Jones was run out in the 17th over and Sciver was run out in the 18th.
