Mithali Raj breaking records today but doing so selfishly- her century coming at a treacle slow strike rate and losing India the game.

proximity of records have a habit of doing that to a player. even SRT wasn't immune, so Raj is in esteemed company

Interesting final round of games in store. Obviously India/NZ is the big one for the fourth semi final place, but the relative order of the top four teams is yet to be sorted out. If England beat WIndies they will almost certainly qualify top, otherwise they'll be in second (their NRR is such that they are unlikely to end up lower). South Africa and Australia get to fight it out for second/third or first/third (depending on whether England win or not). And one of Pakistan or Sri Lanka will finally notch up their first win of the tournament, while the other side will go home with the wooden spoon, 0 from 7.

Interestingly, a quite possible scenario for the semis is an immediate replay of Australia v South Africa!

no sign of DVN picking the ball up yet

Aus don't look on the verge of collapse, of course. Got to protect those figures

Every time I have a check on the score they seem to lose another wicket.

Sciver (alas for my fantasy team !) and Taylor rather back to earth today...but Knight and now Gunn and Marsh have seen England to a defendable score.
No guarantees as West Indies have some fine hitters ; but I understand this pitch is not the easiest for batting and I've a hunch it will be enough.

Australia should win with 268 and NZ will have work to do against India for the fourth spot...

Stephanie Taylor doesn't review a ball that was going down leg, and then Hayley Matthews reviews a ball that was plumb.
:no
