Fantastic stuff from Ecclestone, she has changed the game. From England wondering where they could buy a wicket, she has taken three, there was a run out off her bowling as well and Heather Knight's side on right on top now.

Knight c Wyatt b Ecclestone (WI 98-4)
They're four down now, there's no reprieve for Kycia Knight as she hammers the ball to Danni Wyatt at cover. It's a very sharp catch and Ecclestone has her third wicket!

Good review. The impact was outside off and the decision is overturned. West Indies remain three down, albeit still trying to recover from the loss of those three quick wickets.

WI 98-4
Campbelle on the sweep, misses and that looks close... the umpire agrees and raises the finger. West Indies send it upstairs.
WI 95-3published at 25 overs
Kycia Knight comes down the wicket to Ecclestone and lofts one over mid-on for a couple, which is a good option. The Aussies attacked Ecclestone expertly and put her off her rhythm, which is the key to playing her.
And as we reach the halfway mark of West Indies' innings, it's time for me to depart and hand over to Sam Drury to take you through the next 25 overs. In a bit!

WI 92-3published at 24 overs
Heather Knight is having a bowl and picks up where her spin twin Ecclestone left off, conceding just a single.
Feels like England are on the charge now, there's a lot more noise and energy out there and it looks like an entirely different pitch to what Dottin and Matthews were cruising on earlier.
WI 91-3published at 23 overs
Rebuilding time for the West Indies here. They can't afford to lose another wicket, as their three biggest stars - Dottin, Matthews and Taylor - have all departed.

WI 89-3published at 22 overs
The new batters are Kycia Knight and Shemaine Campbelle, by the way.
Kate Cross played a big part in those wickets falling, applying the pressure with a consistency that only she and Ecclestone have managed so far.
And I've somewhat jinxed her, as she bowls three wides and goes for a four from the last ball of that over.

And breathe!
Cricket, eh? That was bonkers. West Indies were absolutely cruising, batting looked simple, and all of a sudden they're all over the place.

Taylor c Jones b Ecclestone 0 (WI 81-3)
What is going on? I've barely had time to describe the run out and Sophie Ecclestone has another!
What a ball first up. Good length, some awkward bounce from Ecclestone's height and captain Stafanie Taylor had to play, it takes the edge high on the bat, or maybe even glove, and Amy Jones does the rest!
What an over, what a bowler Sophie Ecclestone is.

Dottin run out 31 (WI 81-2)
Something about London buses ...
It's not great batting, to be fair, but lovely fielding from Danni Wyatt as the pair attempt a quick single - but Wyatt pounces at cover to dive and hit the stumps with an underarm throw and Dottin isn't even in the frame.
England are back in it!
