    It's just staggering that Sophie Ecclestone has never taken an international five-wicket haul.

  2. WI 135-4published at Over 37

    Ecclestone is, indeed, back on and picks up where she left off, probing away, nothing loose and that is another maiden.

    Wickets would be nice but England will be happy enough with another uneventful over from the skipper. Knight has done her bit in keeping runs to a premium and now it looks like Ecclestone is going to return to the attack.

    West Indies have got to get a minimum of 180. Sophie Ecclestone has got three overs left, and if she takes another wicket now I genuinely can't see them getting past that, to be honest.

    Campbelle 23, Nation 10

    Shemaine Campbelle and Chedean Nation are sticking at it for the Windies. Brunt gets through another over - with another wide just to keep those frustration levels up.

    She tests Campbelle with a bouncer that is taken well once again by Jones.

    Apart from the wides, Katherine Brunt hasn't bowled too badly. She just needs to be able to channel that frustration now.

  7. WI 127-4published at Over 34

    Just a few signs of that West Indies are coming to after being stunned by those four quick wickets. It's only singles but five of them from the Knight over, rotating the strike, is a decent start.

    Katherine Brunt is absolutely ticking. She has properly stomped off and hit herself on the forehead!

    But that was properly wide.

  9. WI 116-4published at Over 32.3

    West Indies will take runs anyway they can get them at the moment and Brunt gives them a few freebies with one that slides down leg - even the ever-impressive Amy Jones can't stop that. Five wides.

    We need a guest for our next episode of No Balls. We really want Nasser but I find it intimidating asking the big dogs.

  11. WI 112-4published at Over 31.3

    It has been a while but West Indies have a boundary as Campbelle skips down the track to Knight and hits over mid-on. A much-needed release of pressure.

    There's plenty in the pitch for the spinners. A bit of patience from West Indies can get them up to 200, and you never know from there.

    Mark Burt: Ecclestone had a horror show against Australia. Today’s performance is the real her. Talk about bouncebackability.

    A steady over from Brunt on her return to the attack, just two from it as runs continue to prove hard to come by for West Indies.

    Time for drinks.

    I don't think we have misread the pitch. Sophie Ecclestone is just world class, and Australia just played her so well in the first game.

  16. WI 105-4published at Over 30

    Knight keeps things tight again for England, just a pair of singles from the over.

    A bit of a surprise to see Katherine Brunt preparing to bowl the next over...

  17. WI 103-4published at Over 29

    Ecclestone rattles through another over as England continue to put the squeeze on. As yet, West Indies have been unable to find an answer to the questions posed by the left-arm spinner.

    Have we all misread the conditions here. We knew it was a used pitch, but some of the deliveries Sophie Ecclestone has bowled, she's made it look like a snake pit.

    West Indies might have to think about seeing off Sophie Ecclestone and attacking the other bowlers.

  20. WI 100-4published at Over 28

    West Indies reach three figures, it has taken a good while longer than they might have expected following the flying start given to them by Dottin and Matthews.

    Knight gets through another over, the England captain is a reluctant bowler but has bowled nicely so far today.
