    These two are ticking along nicely, just doing the basics well, but you do fear for England if this partnership is broken.

    The worm shows England Women are 23 runs ahead of West Indies Women. England Women are 128 for 5 after 30 overs. At the same stage West Indies Women were 105 for 4.

    England need less than a hundred now. Things get easier psychologically from here, as you can just start ticking off how many you need.

  3. Eng 128-5published at 30 overs

    Not quite the impact she had in the tournament opener. England take 10 from Dottin's first over as this partnership continues to grow at a good rate.

  4. Eng 124-5published at 29.2 overs

    Having given Dottin the big build-up, she promptly oversteps and Dunkley profits from the free hit with a leg-side heave. The ball just beats the fielder in the race to the boundary cushion.

    Here comes Deandra Dottin, the match-winner with the ball against New Zealand...

  6. Eng 117-5published at 29 overs

    Selman's over is bookended by singles, the only runs from a tidy over.

    West Indies are clearly in good spirits and there are smiles all round as Stafanie Taylor almost trips over her own feet as she came in from mid-wicket to prevent a single and then theatrically hits the deck having done so.

    England should have bowled West Indies out for 160. 180 max.

    It's going to be a good finish one way or the other, this.

  9. Eng 114-5published at 28 overs

    Wyatt and Dunkley are giving England a welcome injection of energy here, plenty of positive intent and the scoreboard is ticking over that much quicker.

    Six from the over, including two for Wyatt with a well-time shot through extra cover off the back foot.

    Jack Rule: I will keep banging on about this but why is Danni Wyatt not opening the innings? Look how she has taken the attack to the bowlers and scored quickly.

  11. Eng 109-5published at 27 overs

    Dunkley 9, Wyatt 21

    Good running from Wyatt and Dunkley, even taking on Dottin to pinch a couple of quick singles into the offside as they take four from Selman's over.

    One of those four came from a wide. Both sides have struggled with them in this game, England will welcome those bonus runs right now.

    Time for drinks.

    The worm shows England Women are 11 runs ahead of West Indies Women. England Women are 109 for 5 after 27 overs. At the same stage West Indies Women were 98 for 4.

    Apparently the done thing in Dunedin is to bring your sofa to the cricket.

    Sophie Dunkley has at least arrived at the crease with intent. England could do a lot worse than counter-punch here.

  14. England 100-5published at Over 26

    Sophia Dunkley is in at seven for England and is quickly about her work with a paddle sweep for two to get off the mark before cutting the next ball away to the fence.

    Wyatt thumps the last ball over mid-off for another boundary. Positive early signs for England from this partnership.

    Beaumont lbw b Mohammed 46 (Eng 94-5)

    A huge blow for England! Beaumont was trying to work the ball legside, it was very straight though and once she missed, she was in trouble.

    The review might have been more in hope than expectation. Ball-tracking comes back with three reds to confirm her fate.

    I think this is straighter, and has hit her in line this time. This could be a mortal blow to England's chances.

    Another big appeal as Beaumont advances to Mohammed and this time the umpire's finger goes up. The England opener reviews...

    Thanks, Ffion. It does all look set up for a very exciting finish...

    Target 226

    A quick bit of research tells me that I was in Year Seven when Shakera Selman made her ODI debut. That's a weird thought.

    England are halfway through their chase in terms of overs, and that's my cue to hand over to Sam Drury to see you through to the close. We could be in for a classic here.

    Bye for now!

    Another change of bowling as another experienced campaigner, Shakera Selman, comes into the attack.
