  1. 'We're a bit off'published at 14:35 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2023

    West Indies batter Stafanie Taylor: "It feels nice to be out there and getting runs, I just wish I was there until the end. It's not a total we wanted. We spoke about getting 140 against a strong India side. We're probably a bit off, we just need to go out there and defend it.

    "I'm not ready to bowl yet, hopefully before the tournament ends. I'm feeling much better today.

    "I don't think the conditions will change much. I think the pitch is really good. We will have to try and restrict."

    Cheers Tom, the players are walking back out. Shamilia Connell will open the bowling...

    India will be favourites but a couple of early wickets and you just never know.

    Here to take you through their reply is Josef Rindl.

    West Indies looked fairly well set at 77-1 but two wickets fell in the 14th over to spark a mini collapse.

    I think India will be really happy with their work. They dismissed their best batter early on. West Indies need to find some power in the middle of their innings.

  6. Innings break - India need 119 to winpublished at 14:31 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2023

    So West Indies scramble their way up to 118-6 which means India need 119 to win and make it two from two at this World Cup.

    Given the power in their batting line-up you'd think they will not have too much trouble knocking those runs off.

  7. WI 118-6published at 20 overs

    That will be a no. Chedean Nation goes for the big shot but misses and West Indies end on 118-6, which you'd think is not quite enough.

  8. WI 118-6published at 19.5 overs

    Rashada Williams is the new batter and three successive singles means Chedean Nation will be on strike for the final ball.

    Can she finish with a big shot?

    It's coming apart now for West Indies.

    Fletcher b Deepti 0 (WI 115-6)

    Not the best shot you will see.

    New batter Afy Fletcher goes for a wild swing but is nowhere near the ball and it smacks into the stumps.

    I don't think West Indies will be unhappy with the way the middle order has performed.

    Bowled her!

    Shabika Gajnabi attempts to heave the ball onto the summit of Table Mountain but gets nowhere near the ball and it smacks into the stumps.

  13. WI 133-4published at 18.4 overs

    In the air - but safe!

    Chedean Nation has no idea where the ball has gone as a wild swipe comes off the edge and flies just over the fielder at point.

    You cannot blame West Indies for taking some risks at this stage.

    Some sharp fielding and an ineffective dive accounted for Chinelle Henry as the West Indies collapsed in the middle of their innings.

    As a whole the Indian attack has been really good.

  16. WI 107-4published at 18 overs

    Frustration for Pooja Vastrakar as the final ball of her spell flies down leg off an inside edge and away fine for four.

    Still, she ends with more than respectable figures of 1-21 from her four overs.

    It is missing the bat by an entire foot.

  18. Not outpublished at 17.2 overs

    It was ambitious. The ball was nowhere near the bat. Awful review.

    Shabika Gajnabi has attempted a premeditated ramp shot but gets nothing on it - or does she?

    India have sent it upstairs in the hope Gajnabi has feathered and edge behind.

    This feels ambitious.

    That was a good shot from Shabika Gajnabi. That's what we wanted to see.
