  1. Eng 160-8

    A steady over all round, four singles from Taylor's over as Kate Cross and Sophie Ecclestone try to dig England out of this hole - one largely of their own making.

    You're not often going to achieve your highest chase in a World Cup when only one of your top five makes more than 12.

  3. Eng 156-8

    A brilliant over from Connell, two wickets to put her side in complete control of this match. West Indies are in touching distance of a second straight win to start this World Cup.

    England need something special to avoid back-to-back defeats.

    Katherine Brunt cannot believe it. It was short, wide and there to be hit. But it's just gone straight to Deandra Dottin and that is another soft dismissal - we've seen plenty of them today.

    WICKET

    Brunt c Dottin b Connell 1 (Eng 156-8)

    It goes from bad to worse for England! Three wickets in six balls and the defending champions are imploding. Katherine Brunt slashes at a wide delivery but it is straight to Deandra Dottin at backward point, a simple catch.

    West Indies are jubilant!

    It was going so well. Danni Wyatt plays that shot down the ground so well, it's a real strength of hers. It's a very good catch from Chinelle Henry but this is a huge task for England now.

    When you're chasing in white-ball cricket, the last thing you want at this stage is two new batters at the crease.

    Wyatt cannot believe what she has done. Suddenly, the potential shock is turning into the potential nightmare for England.

  8. wicket

    WICKET

    Wyatt c Henry b Connell (Eng 154-7)

    In the space of three balls, this match has turned 180 degrees! Danni Wyatt tries to hit over the top, doesn't get hold of it and Henry takes a good catch running back from mid-off. Shamilia Connell has a second wicket.

    The scoreboard was ticking over so nicely, I'm just not sure Dunkley needed to play that shot. The momentum goes back to the West Indies.

  10. wicket

    WICKET

    Dunkley c Henry b Taylor 38 (Eng 154-6)

    Just as England seemed to have taken control... It's not a great shot from Dunkley, who tried to pull a back-of-a-length delivery from Taylor over mid-on and picks out Henry for a straightforward catch.

    A valuable innings from Dunkley but she'll be frustrated not to have kicked on.

  11. Eng 150-5

    Crunched! Short, wide and powered away backward of point by Dunkley. Alongside Wyatt, she has really changed the tone of this innings for England.

    It might not have been quite as dramatic as those three wickets in the Ecclestone over during the West Indies innings but this partnership has arguably been just as transformative for the innings.

    For me, Emma Lamb has got to come in. Lauren Winfield-Hill has been a great player for England but she's had ample opportunity now and not taken it. It's time for change.

    Amy Jones is the best keeper in the world so I don't think she will lose her place in this World Cup at all, but she does need a score.

    For the first time today there is a sense of calm and control.

    Eng 144-5

    Dunkley carves the ball down to third for a single that brings up the half-century stand - and in quick time.

  15. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special

    That is the benefit of having these two at the crease. They are extremely fit and can turn those ones into twos easily.

  16. Eng 143-5

    Not the start Taylor was looking for, a wide first up and then a delivery so wide that it doesn't land on the cut strip - that's a no ball.

    Wyatt skies the free hit and has to settle for one but more good running between this pair adds two to the England total next ball. The runs are flowing nicely for Heather Knight's at the moment.

  17. Alex Hartley

    I like this option of Stafanie Taylor. It has been much harder to score off the spinners.

  18. Eng 135-5

    Dunkley 25, Wyatt 29

    England have gone at a little more than seven-an-over since Dunkley and Wyatt joined forces.

    Stafanie Taylor has seen enough and decides it is time to take matters into her own hands.

  19. Alex Hartley

    A great shot from Sophia Dunkley, putting the pressure right back on the bowler.

  20. Eng 133-5

    Oh hello! That is some shot from Dunkley - down the pitch to Selman and then cracking the ball up and over mid-wicket for four.

    England needed a counter-punch and that is just what they're getting.
