- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.1 inswing into the left-hander, a flick across the line and a steepling leading edge! Smith backpedals at point and makes no mistake! Bell's change of ends does the trick! 17/13.3 horrid wipe outside off, that's two in three! Poor shot that, no footwork at all, this one is pushed across the batter a touch but the width it all it takes to dislodge James for a two-ball duck 17/27.4 cracked off a good length, it looked like a fine pick-up, but it wasn't quite timed to mid-on... and there might be a run-out as an upshot! What on earth happened there? Grimmond just wandered out of the crease as NSB got to her feet and lobbed the shy back at Jones... she didn't see the return, which was looped over her head as she completed her first run, and as she turned for the second, off came the bails! Daft 47/311.6 another slower ball, and it's got its reward! That's lovely work from Wong, he's renowned for her pace, but it's the lack of it that does the trick. A back-of-the-hander, doing Gajnabi for pace as she wound into a wallop, and plucked out at midwicket by the skipper 75/412.3 back of a length, outside off, a wipe at not-a-lot from Alleyne, and Arlott has her maiden wicket! Into the pitch, got it above the batter's arc, and Sciver-Brunt is the catcher once more, this time in the covers 78/513.2 tucked off the length, out to midwicket, Matthews wants two but Glasgow is struggling as the shy comes in from Wong to Dean, who gathers well in front of the stumps and breaks the wicket with the batter a metre short! 87/618.5 attempts the same stroke, but Bell is on hand to dive like a goalkeeper and cling on in both hands! Superb premeditated grab at short fine leg 134/7Extras6 (b 4, w 2)TOTAL146/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.3)Fall of wickets: 1-17 (Qiana Joseph, 3.1 ov), 2-17 (Zaida James, 3.3 ov), 3-47 (Realeanna Grimmond, 7.4 ov), 4-75 (Shabika Gajnabi, 11.6 ov), 5-78 (Aaliyah Alleyne, 12.3 ov), 6-87 (Jannillea Glasgow, 13.2 ov), 7-134 (Mandy Mangru, 18.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.5 oh dear... hits the pads, and ricochets into the stumps! Wyatt-Hodge had moved well outside leg but ends up being bowled after missing with a swat across the line. Maybe stayed a touch low. James gets the breakthrough for the Windies 51/16.3 tossed up on a wide line, NSB goes for the hard sweep and misses... or did she? Not given on field by Claire Polosak but West Indies have reviewed for caught behind. Was there a feather through to Mangru? Yes, says UltraEdge! You can hear the jubilation from the West Indies. It was a confident review and with good reason. Just a thin under-edge to the keeper, and England's new captain goes for a two-ball duck! 56/2Extras9 (b 4, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL150/2 (16.3 Overs, RR: 9.09)Fall of wickets: 1-51 (Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 5.5 ov), 2-56 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 6.3 ov)
