Issy Wong is looking really impressive with her remodelled action.
She's had to fight hard to get back into this England side, she brings energy and life to the team.
Gajnabi 14, Campbelle 23
England in full control here.
A swing and miss from Shemaine Campbelle with wicket-keeper Amy Jones making a half-hearted appeal hoping for an edge. But there's nothing in it.
They then pick a run from an overthrow in the final delivery of Issy Wong's over to crawl to 58-4 after 12 overs.

Linsey Smith is such an important figure for England in the field in terms of the energy she provides.
Gajnabi 13, Campbelle 22
Charlie Dean keeps things tight from her end.
Shabika Gajnabi dances down the track and hits the ball back past the bowler in the final delivery but can't beat the fielder at long-off.
Only four runs in that over.

In T20Is since the start of 2024, Hayley Matthews has scored close to 30% of all runs scored by West Indies. Out of the 11 50+ scores by West Indian batters in this timeframe, seven have come from the bat of Matthews,.
If you take out Deandra Dottin who is not a part of the squad, then it is seven out of nine.
In the 19 T20Is in this timeframe, Matthews has been the top scorer for West Indies on 10 occasions.

Campbelle is doing a decent job for West Indies.
She's holding it together. She's a talented batter but often doesn't convert.
Gajnabi 11, Campbelle 20
West Indies cross the 50-run mark, just in time for the drinks break.
At the halfway stage of this innings, things are not looking too good for the tourists.
Their fortunes will largely depend on the pair of Shemaine Campbelle and Shabika Gajnabi, who are in the middle now.

This ball change could bring the change of fortune the West Indies need.
Gajnabi 10, Campbelle 19
The umpires have gone for a new ball during the previous over.
And so England have turned to fast bowler Issy Wong for the first time today.
Shabika Gajnabi and Shemaine Campbelle are both into double figures now as West Indies look to steady the ship after a rocky start.
Gajnabi 9, Campbelle 19
Shemaine Campbelle sends Linsey Smith to the boundary off her first delivery, threading her shot through the gap between the extra cover and mid-off.
But she almost falls to a run out in the fourth ball of the over, but the replays show she has crossed the line and lives to fight another day.
Ebony Rainford-Brent
Former England batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Em Arlott has bowled brilliantly.
She gets the ball to angle back in and keeps probing away.
Gajnabi 7, Campbelle 13
Em Arlott comes back well during the remainder of the over and concedes just three more, including a wide.
She finishes with 3-14 in her four overs. Tidy from the medium pacer.
Melissa Story
Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra
It shows the adaptability this England side have that Em Arlott, who bowled her overs at the end of the innings the other night, can bowl all four up front here.
Relive Sophia Dunkley's screamer of a catch to dismiss West Indies' Zaida James.

Best bowling figures for England in the first six overs in T20Is:
Gajnabi 6, Campbelle 12
Em Arlott will finish all of her four overs here.
But Shabika Gajnabi steps down the crease to thump Arlott's first delivery through the off side and past the ropes. A good hit from the Windies batter.
Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
I love cricket... but this innings is making me hate it.
What are you blocking for?!
Campbelle 12, Gajnabi 2
Off-spinner Charlie Dean into the attack for England.
West Indies can only get three singles off her first over - their run rate at a paltry 4.71.
Soham Sarkhel
CricViz analyst
England's focus on fielding and fitness has paid early dividends. Across the two T20s in this series, they have taken eight catches and dropped just one (a tough chance for Charlie Dean in the 1st T20I), picked up two run outs and misfielded just three times out of 100 fielding actions.
Campbelle 11, Gajnabi 0
End of the power play as Em Arlott finishes her third over with a wicket and conceding just a leg bye.
Shabika Gajnabi is the new batter in for West Indies, who are in some real trouble here.
