Signing off - A double-header awaits us on Thursday, June 25. First up, India take on Bangladesh in Manchester at 1.30 pm GMT, before the Netherlands face South Africa in Bristol at 5.30 pm GMT. With Australia all but through to the semifinals, both matches could prove pivotal in shaping the race for the second qualification spot from the group, with India, South Africa and Bangladesh all still in contention. As always, you can join us earlier for the build-up. Until then, take care and goodbye.
The captain of England Women - Charlie Dean says that she is feeling really great, having qualified for the semi-finals. Adds that the batters did their job really well, starting from Danni Wyatt-Hodge to Alice Capsey to Heather Knight, everyone played their role. On her bowling performance, she comments that she is never satisfied with her performance because she always feels she can do better. About the dropped catches, she thinks that the fielding is not an issue. She backs her teammates and praises them for putting up a great shift on a hot, sunny day. On Nat Sciver-Brunt's fitness, Dean says she does not have any update to share at the moment, but she hopes Nat is back in the playing XI soon.
The skipper of West Indies Women - Hayley Matthews says it was extremely hot out in the middle, but does not believe choosing to bowl first was the wrong decision. She feels England started well with the bat and admits her side missed their lengths at key moments. More than anything, though, she believes West Indies let themselves down in the field. On playing at Lord's, Matthews says it was a special occasion, noting that for some players it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play at such a historic venue. Speaking about her caught-behind dismissal, she says she did hear a noise but does not believe she hit the ball. Feels there was a gap between bat and ball on the replays, but adds that the umpire's decision has to be respected and accepted. Matthews also provides an update on Stafanie Taylor, sharing that Taylor experienced chest tightness and difficulty in breathing. That forced her to leave the field during England's innings, and she was subsequently unable to bat.
Let's hear from the captains...
Earlier in the day - Hayley Matthews opted to bowl first, but her side could not execute their plans with the ball as well as they would have liked. Against a deep England batting line-up, it was important to keep chipping away with wickets to contain the scoring, but that never quite materialised. England received valuable contributions throughout the order. Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Alice Capsey and Heather Knight were among the runs as the hosts powered their way to 186.
A chase that never took off - Unlike the West Indies pacers, who were a bit too short early on, England's new-ball attack hit their straps straight away. Hayley Matthews fell to a contentious caught-behind decision, while Deandra Dottin briefly threatened to kickstart the chase but could not last long enough to make a decisive impact. After her departure, the innings hit a roadblock as England's bowlers maintained their discipline through the middle overs and gradually pushed the target out of reach. Chinelle Henry's maiden T20I fifty helped reduce the margin of defeat, which could yet prove important should net run rate come into play in deciding the final semifinal spot from this group.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Danni Wyatt-Hodge has been given the award for her entertaining knock of 65 runs from 42 balls. On being asked about the reason behind her exceptional performance, she says that she just came out expressing herself. Adds that she tried to play correct shots and it worked very well for her. Mentions that she always tries to pick up the gaps. About the weather, she says that it was a very hot day, similar to what they experienced in Dubai a couple of years back. She says they batted really well and came out all guns blazing. On her run-out dismissal, she says that they will talk about it before the next game so that they can avoid such incidents in the upcoming matches.
Qualification secured - A fourth straight win seals a semifinal berth for England, who become the first team to book their place in the last four. Among the pre-tournament favourites, the tournament hosts have certainly lived up to expectations so far. As for West Indies, their fate remains in their own hands despite this defeat. Victory over Ireland in their final group-stage fixture will be enough to secure a semifinal spot.

DRINKS BREAK! England are firmly in control of proceedings, with the required run rate for West Indies now being over 16.

West Indies, meanwhile, have not managed to find those big overs needed to keep pace with the asking rate. Sophie Ecclestone comes back on.

Freya Kemp To Chinelle Henry
Just in! Full-length delivery, on off, Chinelle Henry drives it to the right of the mid off fielder. The long on fielder runs to her left and picks the ball before throwing it at the bowler's end. Kemp collects the ball and dislodges the stumps, as Jahzara Claxton dives to get home. The decision has been sent upstairs, where the replay shows that as Claxton dived, the bat bounced off the shoulder and lost contact with the ground, but some part of her bat was grounded inside the crease before the stumps were broken.

Sophie Ecclestone To Shemaine Campbelle
Beaten! Speared in, full and on off. Shemaine Campbelle reaches out in front and tries to force it down the ground but is beaten on the outside edge.
DRINKS BREAK! West Indies suffer a big blow right at the end of the Powerplay. England's pacers were far more disciplined in the opening exchanges, not allowing the West Indies openers to get away early. The required rate has already climbed beyond 10 and, with two of their key batters back in the shed, 187 is beginning to look a long way away for the visitors. It was Shemaine Campbelle who saw West Indies home against New Zealand earlier in the tournament, and they will be hoping she can produce another rescue act. Jannillea Glasgow joins Campbelle out in the middle. Sophie Ecclestone to bowl after the break.

Charlie Dean To Deandra Dottin OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Charlie Dean has the last laugh. She yet again bowls it flatter and fuller, on middle and leg. Dottin tries to slog it once again, clearing her front foot, but this time she gets the connection from the toe end of the bat. The ball loops toward long on, where Alice Capsey initially runs forward, but then she recovers and backpedals to grab it to her right just before the boundary cushion. Deandra Dottin was starting to look good, but has to depart now. West Indies are 46/2, needing 141 from 84 balls.

Oh, there's a little nick, but the keeper fails to gather it. Short, outside off, angling in. Deandra Dottin charges down the track and tries to power it downtown, but the ball catches a slight outside edge. It deflects past Jones and the ball rolls away to deep third for a couple of runs.

Linsey Smith To Hayley Matthews OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! England manage to overturn the on-field call. Hayley Matthews is not happy at all, and you can understand why. A decision that will be talked about in the days to come. Flatter and a bit short, outside off. Matthews gets a bit low and flashes at the ball. She misses and it is taken behind by Amy Jones. Jones goes up in appeal but it is turned down. Charlie Dean wastes no time in taking the review. The third umpire is called into action. There is a spike when the ball is next to the ball but from the front-on replay, there appears to be a tiny gap between the bat and the ball. The third umpire takes the spike into account and gives her verdict. A huge moment in the contest, and one that leaves Matthews visibly frustrated as she makes her way off. West Indies are 21/1, chasing 187.

Had to hurry! Full and outside off. Matthews advances and carves it over cover-point. Freya Kemp runs around in the deep to her right and gets rid of the ball quickly. Her throw is a bit away from the stumps and lacks the desired power. That allows Dottin to get home. A better throw could have found Deandra wanting.
