  1. Sco 19-0

    Big fan of this intent from the Scottish openers, refusing to let England settle.

    Darcey Carter whacks back-to-back fours off Linsey Smith.

  2. 6 runs

    Sco 11-0

    Target 201

    And obviously, the next ball goes for six!

    Cracking shot from Katherine Fraser as the ball sails over mid-wicket.

  3. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on Test Match Special

    Well, it should've been taken really. It's a tough chance, not the easiest one to take.

  4. dropped catch

    Fraser dropped on 0

    Sco 5-0

    They're always difficult running back, but Dani Gibson would back herself to take that.

    It's skewed up in the air from Darcey Carter, and Gibson gets two hands to it as she charges back from extra cover but can't cling on. It bounces away for four too, just to really rub salt into the wound.

  5. Sco 1-0

    Nicely guided past point by Darcey Carter to get off the mark.

  6. WinViz has it 99-1 in England's favour against ScotlandBBC Sport/CricViz

    WinViz only sees one winner...

  7. Right then, let's get going.

    Lauren Bell has the ball in hand while Darcey Carter and Katherine Fraser will attempt to get Scotland off to a quick start.

  8. England batter Alice Capsey: "It's brilliant to get to 200, the way that Gibbo and Kemp finished there was awesome, just getting to watch the ball flying all around all parts.

    "Looking forward to going back out there and hopefully defending it.

    "When I came in, Dunks was flying so it was just about supporting her to begin with, I was just trying to get myself in and find the gaps.

    "The key is to just bowl straight, keep it simple and change the pace a bit, you can cash in on anything wide. That'll be the message from the batters who have been out there but we've got an incredible bowling attack and we back them."

  9. How's stat?!

    Sanket Tendulkar
    CricViz analyst

    England scored 70 runs in the last five overs, powered by a 61-run partnership between Freya Kemp and Dani Gibson.

    This is their joint second-highest runs scored in the final five overs at a T20 World Cup, behind only the 73 they scored against Sri Lanka earlier in this edition.

  10. Cheers, Elizabeth.

    That was a very entertaining finish from Dani Gibson and Freya Kemp, who are fulfilling their roles to perfection at the moment.

    For Scotland, they need to put any disappointments about their fielding innings to the side. This'll take something special.

  11. England are well set to make it three wins from three, with Scotland chasing a huge 201.

    To guide you through Scotland's innings, here's Ffion Wynne.

  12. Katherine Sciver-Brunt
    Ex-England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    I was desperate to see these two, I've been desperate for it all tournament. That is what they are capable of.

    What a partnership and what a treat for this Headingley crowd. You just have to be here to appreciate how good that was.

  13. Dani Gibson and Freya Kemp put on 61 (21) for the sixth wicket, including 11 boundaries.

  14. Eng 200-5

    Of course Dani Gibson finishes the innings with a boundary. 200 up for England. A fast and furious finish.

    Gibson finishes unbeaten on 30 (11), Freya Kemp made 39 off 16.

  15. Eng 196-5

    Four more! Dani Gibson whacks through the covers.

    The over has gone four, single, four, single, four. Lovely.

  16. Katherine Sciver-Brunt
    Ex-England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    I said 180, these two have certainly offered us a show. Great job from both of them.

  17. Eng 191-5

    Freya Kemp guides the ball behind square for four. Hannah Rainey chases around the rope in vain.

  18. Eng 186-5

    It continues... Dani Gibson slaps Priyanaz Chatterji through the covers for four.

  19. Katherine Sciver-Brunt
    Ex-England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    This is not a good scenario - Scotland could've easily avoided it.

    Kirstie Gordon will be kicking herself and Kathryn Bryce will be kicking herself even more. Not a good decision and Scotland have paid for it dearly. The momentum now is massively with England.

  20. Eng 182-5

    An over to forget for Kirstie Gordon and Scotland.

    Dani Gibson's three walloped boundaries are followed by a single, a crunched four for Freya Kemp, and a two.

    21 runs off the 19th over, 41 runs off the past 12 balls.
