- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.2 huge appeal, and given! Matthews reviews straight away as the rain comes down. She was beaten on the back foot and got into a bit of a tangle. Takes the back leg. Only height can save her. Smashing leg stump. Lovely bowling from Garth, the away swing followed by the nipbacker 28/23.2 edge, caught behind! Trying to leave the ball, it's full outside off, glances off the face as she attempts to withdraw the bat and carries low to Healy 9/126.3 Up in the air and is out! Full ball on the stumps, Williams gets down on one knee to pull this away. But it only goes high because of lack of timing. King at mid-off goes back a few steps and takes an excellent catch to dismiss Williams 85/811.5 has Sutherland caught this?! Will be a remarkable return catch. Taylor punched a full delivery back up the pitch, Sutherland gets down by her right boot. It's going upstairs. Was a cutter from Sutherland. Question is, are the fingers up the ball? Looks like there is ground involved. Tough one for the umpire. Rules fingers are under the ball. That's a big call. 38/312.1 appeal for lbw and given! King back in the wickets. The review has been called for. Has she hit it? The ball slid on at the stumps. Has she squeezed this? Everything happens at the same time. Ball on pad and the edge. More focus on the TV umpire. A long, long look at this. Ruled pad first. And it's hitting the top of middle. On-field call carrying a lot of weight in that one 39/413.4 struck on the back leg, that looks very out. Trapped on the crease by a full delivery. They have no reviews left, but that was stone dead 43/513.6 another shout, and another lbw! Back of a length and straight. Height perhaps looked an issue on this one. Nope, relay shows it was clunking into the top of leg stump 47/619.1 King strikes. Tossed up on leg stump, Gajnabi goes back to flick and misses. Gets hit on back thigh. Umpire takes a pause before raising his finger 69/731.4 That's the end of West Indies' innings. Bowls it full and around off stump, pace off a bit, and Fraser heaves this straight to Sutherland at mid-off 103/1031.1 McGrath gets one! Pitches it full and outside off, Karishma looks to swing her bat at it, gets an edge to deep cover where Wareham takes a low catch.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.4 finds midwicket! Short of a length outside off, Litchfield goes for the pull and gets a top edge. Both openers fall to loose strokes 63/28.5 carved to cover!
