England v West Indies: third women’s cricket ODI – live

It’s drizzing at Taunton, the skies are dishwater grey.

West Indies: Qiana Joseph, Realeanna Grimmond, Zaida James, Stafanie Taylor, Shemaine Campbelle (c, wk),Shabika Gajnabi, Jannillea Glasgow, Aaliyah Alleyne, Jahzara Claxton, Karishma Ramharack, Ashmini Munisar.

Three changes for England and a real jig of the order – NSB will open the batting.

England: Amy Jones (wk), Nat Sciver-Brunt (capt), Emma Lamb, Sophia Dunkley, Alice Capsey, Alice Davidson-Richards, Em Arlott, Charlie Dean, Kate Cross, Sarah Glenn, Lauren Filer.

West Indies are still without Hayley Matthews, so Shermaine Campbell captains again. She’d have bowled first too – and reports that Qiana Joseph is fit again and will open. Ashmini Munisar also plays, Afy Fletcher and Cherry-Ann Fraser miss out.

Under very threatening skies.

“We’ve batted twice, says NSB, “ we decided to look a bit differently at the game. Three changes – Tammy, Lindsey Smith and Lauren Bell are missing out – Charlie Dean, Em Arlott and Sarah Glenn are back – while we’re giving some more opportunities to the batters who have missed out and some shuffling of the order as well.”

We have eyes, ears and pen in Taunton – Raf is ready and waiting:

“Having an iced coffee and a yoghurt flapjack in Tom Lammonby’s new cafe, 9/15, down the road near the Ring of Bells pub. Highly recommended! Weather currently dry. Iced coffee may be optimistic though.”

Good morning! After a whirlwind few weeks, it all comes to an end today at Taunton, for the third and final ODI and the last match of this white-ball series against West Indies.

If England win today, they will be undefeated this summer, and the margins of victory - by over a hundred runs in the ODIs and T20 wins by eight and nine wickets, and 17 runs - show the gulf between the two sides.

England are bouncing – the collegiate captaincy of NSB working well, and some tasty performances from top – Tammy Beaumont and Amy Jones – to bottom - Lauren Filer and Lindsey Smith. But there have been some bright sparks for West Indies too – not the least the sparkling half century by debutant pocket rocket Realeanna Grimmand in the last game.
