- BATSMENRB4s6sSR10.2 huge appeal and up goes the finger! Matthews reviews but this looks very adjacent. Round the wicket, drifting in on a very full length. The ball thumped the knee-roll, a clear gap to the inside-edge, as Matthews propped forward. This is looking as out as they come... indeed it is, middle and leg, and a fine innings ends in its prime 69/26.2 goes back, misses with a swipe across the line... given lbw! Taylor looks crestfallen, and thinks long and hard, seems to turn for the dressing room before finally making the signal for a review. I don't think she's going to be saved this time though, struck on the knee inside the crease and bang in front of leg stump. Yep, gone 47/116.2 that's the one from KathyB! A sharply accurate offcutter, extra bounce on a tight line, kisses the edge for Jones - up to the stumps - to make a tricky chance look very easy. Vital incision and relief for Sciver-Brunt, who has been a touch expensive by her standards today 112/411.1 turned into the leg side, fenced out to square leg, and this is a very tight second run! It's too tight! Jones scooped up a fine throw at the base of the stumps from Capsey, gave with the hands into the wicket, and the batter was still a foot short, bat in the air 71/316.5 slower ball, full length, dabbed into the covers, and a direct hit nails Henry! Knight with the shy, viciously accurate as the batter flies into the frame too late, losing her bat in the process. England have been sharp in the field and that's a key breakthrough 113/518.4 that's got to be close! Sure enough England are reviewing, a massive swing of the bat, almost took herself off her feet as the ball dipped below her intentions and thumped the bent back leg. No bat involved, so is this hitting leg stump? It certainly is! 128/618.6 not this time! A gleefully optimistic slog-sweep from James, but this one is too full from Ecclestone, who skids the ball into her back leg from over the wicket, for the second lbw of her over 130/7Extras18 (b 2, lb 4, w 12)TOTAL135/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.75)Fall of wickets: 1-47 (Stafanie Taylor, 6.2 ov), 2-69 (Hayley Matthews, 10.2 ov), 3-71 (Shabika Gajnabi, 11.1 ov), 4-112 (Shemaine Campbelle, 16.2 ov), 5-113 (Chinelle Henry, 16.5 ov), 6-128 (Afy Fletcher, 18.4 ov), 7-130 (Zaida James, 18.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.1 smacked back, Henry grabs a blinder! Brilliant one-handed catch in her follow through, and that will lift West Indies! Dunkley has been making merry and hits the ball in the air once again, struck the drive powerfully enough but Henry was able to thrust out her right paw and the ball stuck. A bit of World Cup magic 50/23.3 goes aerial, but straight to the cover sweeper! Good connection from Wyatt but it simply flew flat to the woman out there, Nation looking a little unsteady as she tumbles over but holds on. Henry is pumped up, and West Indies have the breakthrough they needed 37/17.2 slows her pace up, and Capsey can keep on walking! Jumps out of her ground but misses with a heave across the line, leaving Williams with a simple stumping. That's a big wicket, because Capsey can hit to all parts 71/3Extras8 (nb 1, w 7)TOTAL138/3 (14.3 Overs, RR: 9.51)Fall of wickets: 1-37 (Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 3.3 ov), 2-50 (Sophia Dunkley, 5.1 ov), 3-71 (Alice Capsey, 7.2 ov)
