    Time for drinks. How might England regret that drop? The Dottin drop earlier cost nine runs.

    WI 105-4

    Captain Heather Knight is England's seventh bowler, she's often bowled during the powerplays in this series. Taylor knocks a single, Cooper sweeps a well-run two - but is then dropped by Natalie Sciver, low down at mid-wicket where she's already taken two catches today.

    England know Stafanie Taylor is the big wicket and if they can get her, they can hopefully restrict them to a chaseable score.

  4. WI 102-4published at 35 overs

    England could do with a wicket - so turn back to their strike bowler Katherine Brunt, who wasn't too happy earlier with the condition of the popping crease she was running through, and it needed some emergency sawdust. Cooper steers the fiery Barnsley pacer for a single, then Taylor dabs straight to Heather Knight at cover and Cooper has to retreat sharply to regain her ground as Knight's throw hits the stumps. Taylor eventually gets one through to Tammy Beaumont who's on cover sweeper duty, and Brunt finishes the over by yelling an lbw appeal against Cooper - but there looked to be a bit of bat on that. So just two from the over.

    Lydia has returned to commentary duty on TMS, replacing Ali Maiden. She isn't happy:

    "Ali has left this seat really sweaty."

  6. WI 100-4published at 34 overs

    Laura Marsh to bowl her 10th over off the reel - Taylor, who's been playing risk-free cricket as she tries to anchor her side's innings, drills a single to long-on, while Cooper does likewise to rotate the strike. And skipper Taylor delicately nudges a two to fine leg to bring up the hundred for the hosts - from 204 balls.

    England assistant coach Ali Maiden on TMS: "The girls have cottoned on that Mark Robinson is quite superstitious. The girls got weighed this morning, as they do every morning, and Lauren Winfield had put a kilo on. She called it a "lucky kilo".

    "Apparently Robbo's wife messaged him the same message every morning throughout his coaching career at Sussex."

  8. WI 96-4published at 33 overs

    After 17 overs of uninterrupted spin, England turn back to Jenny Gunn's medium pace - and the Windies break the shackles as Gunn fires one too wide of off stump and Cooper threads it through the covers for four. A few more singles and a legside wide advance the score - nine from the over.

    Dr James Pope: Really enjoyed having England staff in the commentary box in this WIndies series. Great insight into the team, hope it continues!

  10. WI 87-4published at 32 overs

    West Indies help themselves to a couple of quick singles from Marsh's ninth over, but the boundaries have completely dried up.

  11. 'She's got an arm like a traction engine'published at 17:25 British Summer Time 19 October 2016

    England assistant coach Ali Maiden has a question for TMS commentator Henry Moeran:

    "Are you ever tempted to get any Alan Partridge quotes on air?"

    Henry's reply:

    "What, like: 'Crash, bang, wallop, what a boundary'? Or 'Liquid cricket'?"

  12. WI 84-4published at 31 overs

    As we've seen in the last few overs, Stafanie Taylor takes a single at will near the beginning of the over - then Britney Cooper unconvincingly tries to defend the rest of it. She can't connect with an ambitious sweep, but the ball squirms away and they run a leg bye.

    Good news - it looks like the ground staff are standing down, after we feared rain was on the way. Keep those fingers crossed.

    England assistant coach Ali Maiden on TMS: "We saw a couple of their girls being interviewed on TV and they said there had been a bit of niggle between the two sides, which we were quite surprised about actually."

  14. WI 82-4published at 30 overs

    Marsh and Hartley have bowled in tandem for half the innings here, but no need to change a plan that's working - Taylor heaves a single to long leg, while Cooper still looks all at sea against the spinners. The tall Trinidadian right-hander's default setting seems to be to lunge a pad forward and hope to get her bat on it.

  15. Postpublished at 17:19 British Summer Time 19 October 2016

    England assistant coach Ali Maiden on TMS: "Alex Hartley has bowled brilliantly so far. It's coming out really nicely. If we get Taylor out, it will be a big moment in the game."

  16. WI 81-4published at 29 overs

    England appeal for a caught behind against Cooper - bowler Alex Hartley seemed more convinced than keeper Amy Jones - and despite seeing two of her team-mates perish slog-sweeping, Cooper goes for a big heave and it flies off an edge past the keeper for two.

    England assistant coach Ali Maiden on TMS: From my viewpoint of view you keep mid-on up and keep Cooper on nought. I don't quite agree with that tactic.

  18. WI 79-4published at 28 overs

    Steady from Taylor who keeps the score ticking, but Marsh is bowling dead-straight and Cooper can only defend - though she eventually gets off the mark with a single to long-on.

    England assistant coach Ali Maiden on TMS: "Similar shot to Dottin and there's not much value in that. It's a really good catch from Nat running back and taking it over her shoulder.

    "I've got a two-fer so the coach will be happy."

    Apparently England head coach Mark Robinson is quite superstitious. When a member of his staff does a TMS stint and West Indies wickets fall, Robinson is keen for them to go back for more commentary!

  20. WI 77-4published at 27 overs

    A single from Taylor, and the tall Britney Cooper (who has replaced Aguilleira) sees off the rest of Hartley's over. The left-armer has a very commendable 2-16 from six overs.
