I can't think of her thought process. Surely you knock it for two or do what you did previously and bang it for six? Not I'm going to give it a switch hit, I'll give it a whirl.
Gajnabi b Smith 14 (WI 109-4)
Bowled her!
Shabika Gajnabi sends Linsey Smith over long off for a maximum from the first delivery.
But Smith has her revenge as she takes the stumps of Gajnabi, who tries a switch hit.

This game is not done yet. That is some shot.
Matthews 70, Gajnabi 6
And Hayley Matthews picks up from where she left off.
The West Indies skipper steps down the wicket with intention, but misses Lauren Bell's first delivery on resumption.
But she makes no mistake the next time as she sends Bell to the boundary.
England players have been back in the middle.
The West Indies batters have joined them now.
And we are set up for a thrilling climax here.
It was fourth time lucky for England as they dismissed Realeanna Grimmond.
Grimmond was dropped thrice off Charlie Dean's bowling right after the drinks break before the England off spinner finally collected the West Indies batter's wicket.
Grimmond dropped three times and then out in same over

England will look at their batting and think we should've scored another 20 runs and they maybe should've forced wickets more. Even if they win, they'll reflect on needing to be a bit sharper and more ruthless.
Some good news as covers are coming off now!
And there is news that we could get going again at 17:45 BST - 10 minutes from now.

Hayley Matthews has been exceptional hasn't she? I don't know how she has the motivation to stay so upbeat. It shows how heavily reliant West Indies are on her but also how good she is. What impressed me is today she took her time to get in because she knew that without her, they're toast.
Unsurprisingly, it's Hayley Matthews who is leading from the front for West Indies again.
The Windies skipper produced a sensational solo effort as she hit an unbeaten 100 in the first T20 in Canterbury and the tourists will once again rely heavily on her to take them past the finish line today.
Matthews hits 'terrific' six
The covers are coming in right now in Chelmsford.
But the forecast remains promising. Hopefully, it's just a passing shower and we will see this game resume shortly.

It looks like Stoke in November out there...
Matthews 66, Gajnabi 7
The rain is coming down in Chelmsford.
The umpires decide to stop play and the players head back to the dressing room.
And with West Indies on 97-3, England are nine runs ahead of the DLS par score.

It's a big swing. It's a bottom edge if it's anything.
Amy Jones didn't look convinced. She's only missed it by four inches. Good decision from umpire Sue Redfern.
Gajnabi 6, Matthews 66
Nothing on the UltraEdge at all.
We go again!
Gajnabi 6, Matthews 66
A swing and a miss from Shabika Gajnabi from Lauren Bell's first delivery.
And England are going upstairs. It's not very convincing but this will eat up some more valuable time.
Matthews 66, Gajnabi 6
The rain is falling at Chelmsford.
And West Indies are behind on the DLS par score.
Five overs to go and Lauren Bell is back into the attack for England.
Matthews 65, Gajnabi 3
The required run-rate is hovering a little over 10 now.
And Hayley Matthews relieves some pressure for the West Indies with back-to-back boundaries.
They need 51 to win from 32 balls.

It shows how reliant West Indies are on their captain. Hayley Matthews is carrying this team.
The run-rate is up to tens which is a real win for England.

In T20Is this year 17% of her shots against spin have been sweeps compared to a significantly lower 7% in her T20I career until 2024.
