  1. Well, it appears we have got our maths wrong. England have done enough to have a better net run-rate than West Indies.

    That means it would take an almighty defeat for England against West Indies in their final game to miss out on a semi-final spot.

    This is a massive boost for England's confidence. Their march towards the semi-finals continues.

    But Scotland's tournament has come to an end. Their first World Cup has been filled with memories but no wins. But they will be back, no question.

    England win by 10 wickets

    And that's that.

    Maia Bouchier muscles the ball over square leg to seal a thumping 10-wicket win for England, who move up to second in Group B.

    Bouchier ends unbeaten on 62 from 34 balls - the highest score of the tournament so far. She was supported by Danni Wyatt-Hodge, who clubbed 51 from 26.

    Scotland's tournament comes to a disappointing end.

  4. 50 runs

    50 for Danni Wyatt-Hodge

    Village!

    England attempt a risky single and Danni Wyatt-Hodge is stranded in the middle of the wicket. But the throw is woeful and England can run three, bringing up a half-century for Wyatt-Hodge - who is almost too exhausted to raise her bat.

    That's a great shot from Maia Bouchier. She had to change her stance and she changes her hands around as well, allowing her to get more power and elevation.

  6. Eng 105-0

    England will not wrap this up in 9.3 overs, but it will not be long.

    A reverse pull from Maia Bouchier reaches the boundary to move England to within five runs of victory.

  7. Eng 100-0

    Scotland turn to Darcey Carter, their sixth bowler of the innings, but they just cannot stem the flow of runs.

    Carter tosses one up and Danni Wyatt-Hodge clatters the ball on one knee through the off-side.

    England need to score 10 runs of the first three balls of the next over to overtake West Indies' net run-rate.

    Brilliant batting from Maia Bouchier. She did get a few freebies to get herself going. Scotland haven't bowled well, but Bouchier has batted very well too.

    A nice moment there when Bouchier got to her 50, Danni Wyatt-Hodge loved it. These two really love batting with each other.

  9. 50 runs

    50 for Maia Bouchier

    What a knock from Maia Bouchier, as she hits her third T20 half-century from just 30 balls. She reaches the milestone with a powerful sweep over deep fine leg.

    She has a strike rate of 173.

    England are having some fun, aren't they? Danni Wyatt-Hodge has just paddle scooped a full toss from a slow leg-spinner!

  11. Eng 77-0

    Scotland turn to Abtaha Maqsood for the first over out of the powerplay, but it is a bit all over the place - including a wild full toss that Danni Wyatt-Hodge scoops over the wicketkeeper's head for four.

  12. Impressive, very impressive.

    If they do move above West Indies net run-rate they could afford to lose to them in their final game and still go through, though that will likely mean second place and a meeting with Australia...

    66-0 is England's highest powerplay score in their last 30 T20 internationals, stretching back to February 2023, and the last T20 World Cup

  14. Henry Moeran

    It seemed implausible when it was suggested at the halfway stage, but if England can chase down this target in 9.3 overs, they will go above West Indies on net run-rate.

  15. Eng 66-0

    Some more brutal hitting from Maia Bouchier and Danni Wyatt-Hodge, with Kathryn Bryce going for another 11 runs.

  16. England are not wasting their time here.

    Maia Bouchier set the tone in the first over.

    Poor Rachel Slater very much would like to be on that plane half an hour ago. Even if she bowled a beauty right now, there would still be a strong shot at it.

  18. Eng 51-0

    We all love a drive through the covers, don't we?

    This is from the top drawer by Maia Bouchier, though it was a juicy half-volley from Rachel Slater that was asking to be put away.

    Bouchier then clubs the next ball through mid-on to bring up the England 50.

    They are not holding back.

  19. Eng 40-0

    Wonderful timing from Maia Bouchier as she pounces on a wide ball from Rachel Slater and fizzes the ball through point.

  20. Katherine Sciver-Brunt
    Ex-England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Both Maia Bouchier and Danni Wyatt-Hodge are not pokey batters. They are very much at their best when playing the shots - not being reckless, but just striking it hard.

    If they can get this score up to 50 in the powerplay, they will be in a very good position.
