    It's a big match today at Derby where India and New Zealand meet to decide the last semi-final place. The Kiwis have opted to field and India are 15-1 after five overs.

  2. Eng 12-0published at 5 overs

    No fireworks to illuminate proceedings yet, just singles to both openers from the Dottin over as England bide their time.

    Qiana Joseph is struggling with her lengths here. A couple of those deliveries should have been punished and sent to the boundary.

  4. Eng 10-0published at 4 overs

    Joseph again with a smooth approach to the crease, but nicely clipped for a couple by Winfield. There's a sight I was not expecting, a group of, one hesitates to say, mature ladies are in full voice at the boundary edge being enthusiastically exhorted by their leader.

  5. Eng 6-0published at 3 overs

    Five wides for England as Dottin's radar malfunctions and the ball evades the clutches of wicketkeeper Merissa Aguilleira, who must surely be nicknamed Christina.

  7. Eng 1-0published at 2 overs

    Beaumont cuts left-arm seamer Qiana Joseph into the off side for a single, her 331st run of the tournament, to get England off the mark. A sedate start.

    Australia can still pip England to group winners and they have won the toss and chosen to bat against South Africa at Taunton.

  9. Eng 0-0published at 1 over

    Some swing into the right-handed Winfield from Deandra Dottin and a confident lbw appeal but Australian umpire Paul Wilson dismissively shakes his head. I was best friends with a fellow called Paul Wilson at primary school, he went on to rack up a considerable debt at uni, but unless he emigrated a while back it won't be him out there in the middle.

    England openers Lauren Winfield and the top runscorer in the tournament to date, Tammy Beaumont, walk confidently out to the centre and we're all set for play.

    The floodlights are already on at Bristol and it looks decidedly gloomy. The covers have been on but it's dry at the moment.

    The calypso rhythms and talk of sun seem a little incongruous in the cold and blustery Bristol air. The rather more sombre "God Save The Queen" is lustily belted out by the England team who link arms across the shoulders. The West Indies have no chances of progressing but they are going through some high fives as they prepare to take the field.

    We're all set for the anthems and a couple of the beaming mascots are taller than the West Indians as we start with the wonderful "Rally Round the West Indies."

    Here's the table as we go into the final group matches, with England ahead of defending champions and six-time winners Australia on run-rate only.

    The hosts are determined to remain top, because that will enable them to remain at Bristol for a semi-final against the fourth-placed side on Thursday.

    Avoiding a trip on the British motorways is surely excellent motivation for a strong performance.

    The second and third placed sides will meet at Derby on Tuesday.

    England captain Heather Knight, who has announced an unchanged team: "The pitch is very dry and crumbling a bit so I think it will be quite hard to chase so I'm quite happy we're going to have a bat."

  17. West Indies chose to field firstpublished at 10:18 British Summer Time 15 July 2017

    West Indies have won the toss and skipper Stafanie Taylor, who was a bit undecided the other day and chose to both bat and bowl, external at one point, is adamant that her side will field first.

    England, Australia and South Africa are already through to the last four and the remaining semi-final place will be decided today as India and New Zealand meet in Derby.

    So who will play who? We shall find out as we say a warm welcome to our coverage of England against West Indies from Bristol and the other games at the Women's World Cup.

    Hello again, it's the final day of the group matches at the Women's World Cup and even the England men's captain realises the importance. He even knows the hashtag.
