  3. England win by one wicketpublished at 17:24

    For England, the opening stand between Charlotte Edwards (30) and Tammy Beaumont (31) laid an ideal platform, while Nat Sciver kept cool in the chaos of the closing overs, her 19 not out crucial as wickets tumbled all around her.

    No other batters reached double figures though so plenty to work on.

    Anya Shrubsole was the pick of the England bowlers, taking 1-11 from her four overs, while the 24-year-old's pair of twos off the first two balls of the final over was also vital in earning the victory, even if she wasn't there at the end.

    Sally Smith: A win is a win - sometimes you have to win ugly though.

    Martin Jubb: Hell's bells. These last two WT20 games have been mad. What happened to easy wins?? And @ejrainfordbrent, external is right- we can't bat.

    England captain Charlotte Edwards is a very relieved woman after her side scraped home, telling Sky Sports: "We want to play better. We got ourselves in a great position to win the game very comfortably. 

    "We got the win and that's the most important thing."

  7. England beat West Indies by one wicketpublished at 17:11

    For all that England lost their way badly in the second half of their innings, we have to give credit to West Indies for the way they somehow dragged themselves back into the game and came oh so close to snatching victory. 

    Afy Fletcher finished with figures of 4-12 from her four overs while Shaquana Quintyne wasn't too shoddy either with 4-19 from her quota.

    Adrian Love: Will England ever win comfortably? Don't think my heart can take much more of this.

    "Well done to England for getting over the line, but there is a big, big issue with the batting. They are not going to win a World Cup with the way they are playing."

    Right, let's catch our breath. That's three wins from three and takes England closer to qualification for the semi-finals with a game against Pakistan to come on Sunday. They are doing it the hard way, though, scraping past India by two wickets when chasing 90 on Tuesday and cutting it even finer here. 

  13. England win by one wicket - 109-9published at 20 overs

    Wow! Sciver fails to connect but the England batters set off for a bye and the throw from the wicketkeeper, Merissa Aguilleira, misses! England win off the final ball! Despite themselves. They got away with one there. Thrilling finish.

  14. Eng 108-9published at 19.5 overs

    A scampered single for Rebecca Grundy. England guaranteed a super over at least but can Nat Sciver win it off the final ball?

  15. Eng 107-9published at 19.4 overs

    Left-hander Grundy facing...here's Dottin. A wide! Down the leg side. What a bonus for England. Two from two now.

  16. Pakistan v Bangladeshpublished at 16:51

    Here it is, a superb set of boundaries from Bismah Maroof. Three on the bounce. Pakistan within touching distance of victory now.

    And Sidra Ameen marks her half-century...

    "It was just back of a length and cramped Anya for room. The danger is that Rebecca Grundy is coming in - she's not renowned for her batting."

    Shrubsole b Dottin 4 (Eng 106-9)

    Oh, my. Anya Shrubsole is cleaned up by Deandra Dottin. It's all down to Rebecca Grundy now. How has this happened? Three from two required, one wicket left.

  20. Eng 106-8published at 19.3 overs

    A dot ball from Dottin. Three from three. Could a super over be in store?
