  1. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 19.5 overs

    Paul c Henry b Connell 1 (137-8)

    And another wicket!

    Leah Paul smashes the ball up into the air which Henry makes scampering backwards.

  2. Ire 137-7published at 19.4 overs

    Two balls to go. Happy Ireland fans?

  3. Not outpublished at 19.3 overs

    Ire 137-7

    No it wasn't it came off the glove. As you were.

  4. West Indies reviewpublished at 19.3 overs

    Ire 137-7

    West Indies have a review left, they might as well use it. Was Waldron sweeping Connell actually an lbw?

  5. Ire 135-7published at 19.1 overs

    Ireland were on 116-2 just a couple of overs ago...

    Connell is bowling the final over.

    That is just not good enough at this level.

  7. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 19 overs

    Richardson c & b Matthews 15 (Ire 133-7)

    Richardson goes, striking the ball straight back to bowler Hayley Matthews for a simple catch.

    Ireland have collapsed.

  8. Ire 131-6published at 18.2 overs

    Richardson 15, Waldron 2

    Eimear Richardson is back on strike and paddles new bowler Hayley Matthews round the corner for two more.

    That's a good effort from Afy Fletcher, top effort.

    New batter Mary Waldron nabs the strike.

    A great over from West Indies' Afy Fletcher, she finishes with figures of 2-21.

  11. Ire 127-6published at 17.3 overs

    So then, the first three balls off this over have gone for zero runs and brought two wickets.

    Two rather limp aerial drives from Ireland.

  13. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17.3 overs

    Kelly c Matthews b Fletcher 0 (Ire 127-6)

    A two-ball duck after a nothing-shot to the fielder.

    Ireland can't get Eimear Richardson on strike.

  14. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17.1 overs

    Delany c Henry b Feltcher 1 (Ire 127-5)

    Skipper Laura Delany goes, chipping the ball straight to Chinelle Henry.

    A wicket, and almost as important, a dot for West Indies.

  15. Postpublished at 18:15 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2023

    An over that brought 11 runs. Three more of those and Ireland will make 160.

    That last shot was the best we saw in that over.

  17. Ire 127-4published at 17 overs

    Finished with a four. Ireland add yet another boundary as Eimear Richardson drives one to the ropes.

    Chinelle Henry has to be careful and make sure she doesn't bowl like she did against India.

    Should be out!

    Ireland try a single that isn't there but bowler Chinelle Henry drops the ball while trying to run out Eimear Richardson at the non-strikers end.

    Like Nathan Lyon that.

    Still, it ain't as good as this shot from Lewis earlier...
