    Good commitment in the field from Lauren Bell. These little runs saved here and there could make the difference in a low-scoring game.

    Hayley Matthews is showing off her power after reaching her fifty.

    Hayley Matthews continues the onslaught and gets to her half century.

    She takes the aerial route off the returning Em Arlott but Danni Wyatt-Hodge does brilliantly to deny a maximum for the West Indies skipper.

    Matthews will, however, run a double to reach her 50.

    A little bit of relief there for Charlie Dean. Her heart was in her mouth when that went up in the air. That was a bit more regulation for Wyatt-Hodge.

    West Indies are trying to put their foot down and make things happen. We had a few dropped catches but Grimmond couldn't capitalise.

    A sight of relief for England and Charlie Dean.

    Realeanna Grimmond finally returns to the dugout as she tries to clear the ropes but can only find Danni Wyatt-Hodge at deep midwicket.

    After three dropped catches in the over, England finally get one right.

    Realeanna Grimmond is dropped again - this time by Charlie Dean off her own bowling.

    The England spinner then manages to get an outside edge of Grimmond, but no luck there either.

    Three drops on the trot for England!

    It was up in the air a long time. I can't stress enough how gloomy and dark it is in Chelmsford. It was a difficult chance but you'd expect a player of Sciver-Brunt's standard to take it.

    And it's dropped chances with consecutive balls. It was hit very hard at Charlie Dean.

    A couple of let offs for West Indies.

    Realeanna Grimmond skies one off Charlie Dean's delivery and Nat Sciver-Brunt is underneath it.

    But it's dropped by the England captain. Will that come back to haunt them?

    One of the hard things for Hayley Matthews is how to judge the innings. On one side she's got to stay ahead of the DLS, hit boundaries and play aggressively. But on the other side, if it doesn't rain, they'll need her in at the end.

    Realeanna Grimmond moves into double figures as she sends Sarah Glenn to boundary off the second ball.

    But the leg spinner comes back strongly and finishes with four straight dots.

    Halfway through the innings and we will have drinks.

    That was a brilliant over from Linsey Smith. She bowled well, bowled to her field, and dived around to cut off any singles.

    England looking to keep things tight here.

    And Linsey Smith does a great job conceding just three runs off that over.

    West Indies are 12 runs behind the DLS par score. Pressure back on them now?

    Matthews 34, Grimmond 7

    Eight runs off that Charlie Dean over.

    The required run rate for West Indies now at 7.91.

    The DLS par score is just three behind where West Indies are. It's tight here.
