- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.5 Edged and taken and Henry screams in delight! She corrects her line and length. Pitches it up, full and outside off, 108.5kph. Invites the drive. Jones cannot resist. Gets a thick outside edge that Fletcher holds on to at short third. Perhaps the best ball Henry has bowled in this over, and it results in a wicket. Just the start West Indies would have wanted 8/115.5 And finally, a run out for West Indies! As easy as they come, too... On a length and spinning back in from outside off. Cut out to cover. Wyatt-Hodge agrees for a run from the non-striker's end, but she never has enough pace in her legs to look like she's making it to the striker's end. A good innings comes to an end in rather poor fashion 144/43.3 Ell Bee DoubleU! Munisar comes back strongly and Dunkley has to depart. Tossed up again on off and spins in just a little. Not the ideal ball to sweep but Dunkley still goes with it. Makes no contact with it and is trapped in front. Wyhatt-Hodge called her to check if she got bat to it, Dunkley says no and walks away without the review 38/211.5 Capsey has middled this a little too well - right to long on, in fact! Was a length ball, she runs down the pitch looking to loft this right down the ground. But she has picked the fielder to perfection, and she has to walk back after a stoic innings 104/318.6 And now some impeccable fielding from Campbelle behind the stumps! Knight looks for a slog across the line to this delivery just outside off. She misses. The ball dribbles away from her as Knight wanders down the pitch. Campbelle collects this in a jiffy parallel to the stumps, from her right, and throws it right back at the stumps to effect the dismissal 172/617.3 She has swept this right into her stumps! She moved into the off side a fair bit, and got down on one knee looking to sweep this delivery as it spun back into her. Thudded into her gloves, then rammed right into the stumps behind her 156/519.5 This lofted drive will only go as far as extra cover! Was a full-ish delivery outside off. She shifts into the leg side looking to thump this over the infielder, but Gibson can't get the required muscle on this one 182/7Extras9 (lb 3, w 6)TOTAL186/7 (20 Overs, RR: 9.3)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Amy Jones, 0.5 ov), 2-38 (Sophia Dunkley, 3.3 ov), 3-104 (Alice Capsey, 11.5 ov), 4-144 (Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 15.5 ov), 5-156 (Freya Kemp, 17.3 ov), 6-172 (Heather Knight, 18.6 ov), 7-182 (Dani Gibson, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 Huge appeal for caught behind. Jones is interested, convinces England to review. Quicker length ball outside off, 83.7kph. Matthews goes back to cut. The wicketkeeper collects it and seems to be the only one appealing. UltraEdge shows a spike but the umpire spots the gap between bat and ball and says so. Yet she goes with the spike and overturns the on-field call. Matthews is trudging back furiously after arguing with the umpire, seemingly about the gap. West Indies captain seething but England celebrate 21/15.6 Lofted high, and a very good catch by Capsey at long-on! She has hands on her mouth because she knows how important a catch it was. And more importantly, how much in control she was. Once again a tossed up ball on middle and leg. Dottin clears her front leg to go big over long-on. Doesn't come off the meat of the bat. Looked like Capsey misjudged it but then manages to gather herself and takes it behind her. No wonder why she celebrated the way she did. Massive wicket for England, though 46/28.3 Bowed her! A simple case of you-miss-I-hit. Tossed up from outside off, full on off. Campbelle gets down for a sweep but doesn't fully commit to it. Eventually ends up missing it and is cleaned up 64/310.1 And England ascend further! Glasgow drags this back onto her stumps! Pitched outside off and spun back in, kept a little low, while Glasgow went on the backfoot looking to cut this. Under-edges this into her stumps... 69/418.5 Claxton's miserable stay at the crease finally ends! Delivery was slooow once more, kept right near the wide marker. She goes for a loft once more, away from her body. Ball flies out late and right to the fielder at point 132/5Extras15 (b 4, lb 3, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL148/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.4)Fall of wickets: 1-21 (Hayley Matthews, 3.4 ov), 2-46 (Deandra Dottin, 5.6 ov), 3-64 (Shemaine Campbelle, 8.3 ov), 4-69 (Jannillea Glasgow, 10.1 ov), 5-132 (Jahzara Claxton, 18.5 ov)
