- BATSMENRB4s6sSR8.2 oh dear ... waist-high full toss, Wyatt advances, smacks it down the ground towards long-on, a miscue and Shakera Selman runs in and dives forwrad to take the catch! 51/20.4 rolls her fingers on a beauty and that is plumb! So much for the promotion for Beaumont, she's played around a full one and is on her way second ball! Lovely tight line, seaming into the pads, struck in front of middle. No point in reviewing that! 1/118.6 fullish, outside off and she's sent that down midwicket's throat! Hayley Matthews takes the most comfortable of catches to end a handy knock by Nat Sciver 130/513.4 attempted sweep, miss-times it and the ball dribbles towards short mid-wicket, they take off as the fielder, Shakera Selman, runs in to gather and shies at the stumps at the non-striker's end. It hits! They're going to look at the replay. Yep, she's out. Not quite the necessary urgency in the run there and she pays the price. 90/315.3 full and straight, oh dear, she's had a go at that one but only managed to loft it to Britney Cooper at deep midwicket for an easy catch! 97/4Extras4 (b 2, w 2)TOTAL143/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.15)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Tammy Beaumont, 0.4 ov), 2-51 (Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 8.2 ov), 3-90 (Heather Knight, 13.4 ov), 4-97 (Fran Wilson, 15.3 ov), 5-130 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 18.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR8.2 bowled her! Another cunningly flighted delivery from Glenn, high above the eyeline, dipping on the crease, zipping through a loose waft to leg, and pegging back leg stump! Matthews departs after a struggle of an innings, and suddenly West Indies are in serious strife 42/22.6 hauled into the leg side, a flat slap to short midwicket! That's a h-u-u-u-g-e breakthrough for England, Dottin was frustrated by her lack of runs in that over, lots of big shots hitting the fielder. And this time she tries to make an angle that wasn't there, pulling wildly to the wrong ball and wellying a low chance to Sciver 12/17.6 on the back foot, drilled to cover, and Taylor is down after hobbling through! She looks in a lot of bother there, something seemed to pop as she set off ... and the physio is out with her still writhing on the floor 41/19.4 poked in the air, and a brilliant return catch! Flicked to the on-side, Villiers launches herself with one hand in her followthrough, almost vaulting Nation at the non-striker's end as she does so, and clings on in the fingertips of her right hand for a maiden T20 World Cup wicket! 42/310.1 huge appeal as Nation wafts off the back foot outside off, Glenn is convinced, and with a second to spare, England review! That seems mighty close to the glove ... we wait for ultraedge, and yep, there's a spike! 42/415.4 off come the bails and out goes Cooper! An ambitious wipe, dragged out of her crease on the slog, and Jones' fast hands do the rest, after the ball misses leg stump by a whisker 84/614.1 another top-edged pull! And this time no mistake in the deep! Kirby can't get the legs on this launch to leg, and Sciver makes amends for her earlier drop with a comfortable take, ten yards in from the rope 68/516.4 short from Villiers, a bit of a rank long-hop to be fair, but Alleyne can't get her sweep past short fine leg, but sets off for a suicidal single anyway! Villiers gathers again, breaks the stumps again, and all but seals England's semi-final berth! 92/816.3 bashed hard into the covers, and this is going to be a very simple run out! Villiers gathers the shy and whips off the bails with Fletcher nowhere to be seen. The umpire sends it upstairs to be sure, but that was curtains 92/717.1 all over! Ecclestone finds the perfect combination of flight and bite to peg back off stump, and book England's place in the last four! Mohammed swipes all round her stroke, and that's an ignominious exit for the 2016 champions 97/9Extras12 (b 1, lb 5, w 6)TOTAL97 all out (17.1 Overs, RR: 5.65)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Deandra Dottin, 2.6 ov), 1-41* (Stafanie Taylor, retired not out ), 2-42 (Hayley Matthews, 8.2 ov), 3-42 (Shemaine Campbelle, 9.4 ov), 4-42 (Chedean Nation, 10.1 ov), 5-68 (Lee-Ann Kirby, 14.1 ov), 6-84 (Britney Cooper, 15.4 ov), 7-92 (Afy Fletcher, 16.3 ov), 8-92 (Aaliyah Alleyne, 16.4 ov), 9-97 (Anisa Mohammed, 17.1 ov)
