Kemp b Matthews 4 (Eng 156-5)
Ah. No Freya Kemp fireworks this evening.
The all-rounder moves across her stumps and tries to sweep Hayley Matthews, but ends up bottom-edging the ball on to her own stumps.

England will be looking forward to another big finish today. Between overs 18 and 20 in this tournament, they have scored 114 runs off 39 balls without losing a wicket at a run rate of 17.53 runs per over - miles ahead of the other teams. They have hit a boundary on 18 of those 39 deliveries.

Knight has made that shot part of her repertoire and she is able to be so specific with the angles she wants to reverse.

She'll know she needs to get going, with Dani Gibson waiting in the dugout.

Image source, Getty ImagesDanni Wyatt-Hodge was very proactive with her footwork today. The West Indian spinners looked to bowl slower and a bit wider to her today, which she countered by often moving across her crease. She moved across the crease to 30% of the deliveries today; this figure was only 5% in her innings against Sri Lanka.

The running was really poor between Wyatt-Hodge and White in that partnership.
This could be fun.
Here's Freya Kemp.
Wyatt-Hodge run out (Glasgow) 65 (Eng 144-4)
The Lord's crowd applauds for Danni Wyatt-Hodge as her brilliant innings comes to an end.
Heather Knight drives the ball straight to cover and calls for a single that was never on, and Wyatt-Hodge is well short of her ground. A frustrating end, that.

Oh no. That is a stinker.
Heather Knight drives the ball straight to Hayley Matthews at cover, but the Windies skipper inexplicably drops it. Of all players, you'd back her to take that every time.

Danni Wyatt-Hodge is just toying with West Indies now.
With six overs left, England should be looking at 180/190. I think if you go near 200 with this West Indies team, it will be a big task for them.
England will really be putting the foot on the gas now.
Close!
Heather Knight survives a tight run out chance after Danni Wyatt-Hodge's drive was well saved by Hayley Matthews at cover, and there was a bit of hesitation between the two. But Matthews had to throw whilst on the move, and it was comfortably wide.
Wyatt-Hodge responds by whacking the last ball of the over down the ground for another four - a lovely way to take us to the second drinks' break.
Image source, Getty ImagesI think this tactic from West Indies has run its course. It has become too predictable.
Wide outside off stump again but Danni Wyatt-Hodge can get into position so early, and slog sweeps for a one-bounce four.
Poor bowling, again.
Alleyne bowls a full toss on Heather Knight's leg stump and she just has to help it on its way.

I think Heather Knight is under pressure here - could England have thrown Freya Kemp and Danni Gibson in to keep the momemtum going?
Despite that Capsey dismissal, England remain in control according to WinViz.
Image source, CricvizWest Indies just haven't been able to capitalise on the pressure whenever they've taken a wicket.
Karishma Ramharack gives Heather Knight a freebie down the leg side to get off the mark with a sweep for four.

That probably wasn't the best option for Alice Capsey there, she went for the big strike.
Capsey c Henry b Ramharack 28 (Eng 104-3)
Alice Capsey looks to the sky in frustration as she picks out long-off.
She'd hit a glorious reverse sweep for four earlier in the over, and she actually gets hold of this one quite nicely but it just doesn't have the distance, and Chinelle Henry takes a simple catch.
Heather Knight joins Danni Wyatt-Hodge.
