- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2 ooh, is that out? the third umpire is called to take a look at the bump ball. Clearly hasn't pitched and Healy is gone. A very full delivery on off, Healy shimmies down to convert it into a full toss again but just like Yuvraj's dismissal earlier in the tournament, the ball lobs back to the bowler right off the toe-end. A fortuitous wicket but that is just what a nervy team needed. 15/112 gone, how badly did WI need that? Not very joyous faces but it is something for WI to cling to. A slowish delivery on middle, holds up in the pitch just enough for Villani to play too early, a thick leading edge lobs upto Taylor who takes it over her head. A good catch. 92/217.4 gone, big big wicket but Lanning has done her job, and how. A flat delivery on middle and leg, Lanning shuffles across to play a sweep - trying to use the power of the sweep instead of down the ground in this heat - but plain misses. Struck in front and given, an easy call for the umpire 134/319.4 full and straight an Perry perishes. A fantastic over this is turning out to be. Very full on middle and leg, Perry goes for a massive hoick but was always going to be out after she missed, one way or another. LBW it is 147/419.5 pushed to midwicket for a quick run. However, the midwicket fielder is quick on it, and the throw is good too. Dottin picks up and removes the bails in a jiffy. Great fielding. 147/5Extras9 (b 4, lb 2, w 3)TOTAL148/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.4)Fall of wickets: 1-15 (Alyssa Healy, 1.6 ov), 2-92 (Elyse Villani, 11.6 ov), 3-134 (Meg Lanning, 17.4 ov), 4-147 (Ellyse Perry, 19.4 ov), 5-147 (Erin Osborne, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.4 straight to Blackwell at midwicket. Matthews very disappointed, Australia have a ray of hope, maybe more? A rank long-hop on middle and pulled with bad timing but straight to the fielder at midwicket. Beams is pumped 120/118.4 gone, straight to point. Too little, too late? Full outside off and Taylor squeezes a cut straight to the fielder. Distraught but she needn't be after that innings. Splendid performance. 144/2Extras3 (lb 2, w 1)TOTAL149/2 (19.3 Overs, RR: 7.64)Fall of wickets: 1-120 (Hayley Matthews, 15.4 ov), 2-144 (Stafanie Taylor, 18.4 ov)
