Image source, PA MediaQiana Joseph will be waiting for the introduction of Linsey Smith and spin at both ends. In her ODI career to date she averages 26 against spin and just 12 against pace.
On TV they're running through a reel of missed chances and errors by England in the field before focussing in on Charlotte Edwards.
Edwards seems to be singing along to the PA system rather than kicking bins a la Justin Langer.
More turn and bounce in this over for Charlie Dean who has started nicely.

If we are being critical of England, catches and moments in games are what lets them down. Against good teams, you have to take chances like that.
Sophia Dunkley misses at a 'catchable height'
Down! It should be two in the over for Em Arlott.
Zaida James slices her fifth ball to backward point where Sophia Dunkley shells a straightforward catch.

Hayley Matthews played some lovely shots but it must be a lot of pressure knowing that everything rides on you.
Hayley Matthews is like the one who once played for an academy in your Sunday League team. She is so much better than the rest in this West Indies batting line-up.
If this wasn't already an almighty task for West Indies, it really is now.

West Indies are always going to play shots and Hayley Matthews got that bit of width and took the outside edge.
England have saved themselves about 150 runs there. A big, big wicket.

That is the big wicket England were looking for. There are celebrations and high-fives all round!
Arlott c Jones b Matthews 48 (WI 91-1)
'That's the big wicket England were looking for!' - Arlott dismisses Matthews for 48
Hayley Matthews goes! England have their breakthrough and it's Em Arlott again.
The ball isn't anything too special, full and wide in truth, but West Indies skipper Matthews gets a thick edge.
Katherine Sciver-Brunt
Ex-England bowler on BBC Sport commentary
There is real turn from Charlie Dean here. That will perhaps make Qiana Joseph quite defensive. She's not taking the bait.
Charlie Dean threatens to prove my point perfectly with five dot balls before she throws the final delivery on this over onto the pads. Qiana Joseph climbs in to help herself to four more.
Matthews 48, Joseph 29
Spin could be crucial here because England's seamers are taking punishment.
Katherine Sciver-Brunt
Ex-England bowler on BBC Sport commentary
Linsey Smith is still to come in the bowling attack but she is not a turner of the ball. The wicket will most likely come from Charlie Dean.
Sophia Dunkley is still to come and I imagine Alice Capsey will get a pretty big spell.
Smashed through the covers by Hayley Matthews! That might be the shot of the day, you know.

This partnership now worth 82 is West Indies' best opening partnership against England in women's ODIs.
Before this, it was Hayley Matthews and Deandra Dottin in 2022.
Required run-rate: 6.95
Tammy Beaumont flies to her right like Hannah Hampton - sorry, Mary Earps fans - but cannot stop this powerful sweep from Qiana Joseph.
Dean responds with one that turns significantly to left-handed Joseph and takes the edge. It shoots low, however, meaning it's not really a chance for Amy Jones as the ball hits her shin.
The worm is West Indies' friend right now...
Image source, BBC Sport/CricVizKatherine Sciver-Brunt has her wish. Here's Charlie Dean...

Runs are being leaked here by England. They are finding it difficult going for left-handed to right-handed batters and also struggling with bowling change-ups in the first 10 overs. But that is Qiana Joseph for you.
I would be keen to go to spin fairly soon as the seamers aren't really getting much. The field is not particularly aggressive either.
Target 346
England are throwing themselves around in the field but runs are leaking. This time one from Em Arlott down the leg side gets a dodgy bounce and runs through Amy Jones' legs for extras.
Here's that 'chance' from a little earlier. I'm not sure any of the three fielders could have got there.
A mix up between the England fielders as the ball lands between three of them

This has been a solid start from West Indies, one of their most prolific powerplays against England. Hayley Matthews is timing the ball perfectly. She is capable of 200 in this game.
