- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.1 edged and gone! Crumbs, it's all happening! A wild drive from Beaumont, a thick edge, a comfortable take from Campbelle and West Indies have the dangerwoman cheaply! Reward for a very disciplined, probing length on and around off stump. This one is a touch wider, and lures the flat-footed launch 12/12.5 inside-out, up and over the covers, and into Grimmond's bread-basket in the deep! Both of England's openers are gone in the same over, and suddenly West Indies are right in the hunt! Aggressive intent from Wyatt, she connected well enough, but the trap was set. That drop in the previous over looking less costly now 13/219.3 tried one too many tricks! Turned the stance around, looking for the ramp over fine leg, but Dottin kept her nerve, aimed full and straight, and rattled the timbers! The end of a superb innings, she has been the solitary difference between the teams 149/510.5 edged and gone! Once again, a bad drop is quickly reprieved. Drifted a touch wider, Knight is drawn into the drive, and a thin snick nestles in Campbelle's gloves. West Indies have their game faces on today! 72/311.6 slides one through the gate to keep Windies brawling! That's 50 wickets for Matthews, and it's a good one, pushed through quicker, on a full length, Jones is trapped on the crease as her bails are trimmed! 83/419.5 that's the Brunty we know and love! Clears the front dog, goes for a preposterous inside-out mow, like her fellow Barnsley-ite, Darren Gough, and has her stumps splintered! 153/6Extras6 (lb 3, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL154/6 (20 Overs, RR: 7.7)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Tammy Beaumont, 2.1 ov), 2-13 (Danni Wyatt, 2.5 ov), 3-72 (Heather Knight, 10.5 ov), 4-83 (Amy Jones, 11.6 ov), 5-149 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 19.3 ov), 6-153 (Katherine Sciver-Brunt, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR16.5 down the leg side, Dottin heaves out towards deep backward square, and Wilson clings on! Not a great ball, back of a length with pace off, but the big heave-ho was straight down the boundary-rider's throat! Dottin falls, and that could be that. 112/53.3 speared down the leg side, and Jones whips the bails off as Kirby looks to flick to leg... this could be a brilliant stumping! Yep, Kirby had gone walkabout down the pitch, and Jones was on it like a flash, taking the ball cleanly down the leg side and flicking the bails off with fast hands. Superb wicketkeeping! 30/14.2 in the slot on fifth stump, Campbelle frees the arms and skies it miles up into the air... mid-off snaffles it! Looked like a cutter from Brunt, rolling the fingers down the side of the ball, and Campbelle was through the shot early. She trudges off, and West Indies are two down 35/212.1 tossed up, full and straight, and plumb lbw as Matthews gets across looking to hoick into the leg side! Doesn't bother reviewing - very full, and strikes the pad right in front of off stump 83/314.1 tossed up, Nation is nowhere near the slog-sweep, and Glenn belts out an appeal. Umpire Redfern says no, and England review. This struck Nation on the back boot in front of leg stump, but there was no turn and I think this might be sliding down..? No bat involved, Ultra-Edge confirms. Impact in line, and crashing into leg stump! 91/4Extras13 (b 1, lb 7, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL134/5 (20 Overs, RR: 6.7)Fall of wickets: 1-30 (Lee-Ann Kirby, 3.3 ov), 2-35 (Shemaine Campbelle, 4.2 ov), 3-83 (Hayley Matthews, 12.1 ov), 4-91 (Chedean Nation, 14.1 ov), 5-112 (Deandra Dottin, 16.5 ov)
