Sophia Dunkley has adjusted her grip in the last year or so. She is making sure her hands don't go back to the old grip.

Dunkley 4, Sciver-Brunt 0
Sophia Dunkley is not hanging around.
She is off the mark with a well-timed drive that races away to the boundary through cover.

Nat Sciver-Brunt has only once opened the batting for England previously, opening in a rain-reduced five over T20I against West Indies in Derby back in 2020.
Zaida James has the ball for West Indies.
And Sophia Dunkley will take the striker.
Here we go.
Captain Nat Sciver-Brunt and Sophia Dunkley will open the batting for England and are raring to get back on the field.
A reminder that we will have a four-over powerplay in this second innings.
After a five-hour delay, we have had an eventful 8.3 overs of West Indies batting.
England have been set a DLS-adjusted target of 106 in 21 overs to secure a whitewash in this three-game one-day international series against the Windies.
And we will be back under way with the chase shortly.
Alleyne c Dunkley b Glenn 27 (WI 106-8)
Aaliyah Alleyne's impressive cameo comes to an end, and with that, the West Indies innings too.
Alleyne skies one to Sophia Dunkley at point and Sarah Glenn picks up her third wicket.

I don't think there was any doubt where Qiana Joseph was aiming. England set the field perfectly for it.
Joseph c Dunkley b Glenn 34
Qiana Joseph goes.
The Windies batter tries to hit Sarah Glenn, bowling the final over, for a maximum, but it ends up in the safe hands of Sophia Dunkley, at deep midwicket.

'Where has this been all day">Lauren Filer's penultimate over of the innings goes for 16 runs!

Fair enough, you need to swing for everything when you only have two overs left.
The pace on the ball is working wonders for West Indies at the moment.
Alleyne 19, Joseph 34
Lauren Filer is having a hard time against Aaliyah Alleyne.
Though not very convincing, the West Indies batter has four boundaries in a row here!
The tourists will take that, in whatever shape or form they come.
Joseph 34, Alleyne 7
Sarah Glenn almost gets the wicket of Qiana Joseph, who gets a massive leading edge but the ball lands safely between the fielders.
Aaliyah Alleyne then hits a boundary down to the third region as the Windies get some valuable runs on the board.
Joseph 32, Alleyne 1
Meanwhile, it's business as usual from Qiana Joseph at the other end.
The West Indies opener sends Charlie Dean to the rope through point, off the first ball.
Three more runs come from that over as Dean's stint with the ball comes to an end.

Full credit to Somerset CCC, letting people come back in to enjoy a makeshift T21. Really hoping the weather holds so we can see a result!

Alleyne 1, Joseph 25
West Indies finding it hard to get ticking here.
Sarah Glenn starts the over with a wide, but balls six dot balls to Aaliyah Alleyne.
Brilliant stuff from the England leg-spinner.

21 overs, you say? You sure about that?
Phil, Hitchen
Joseph 25 ,Alleyne 1
Aaliyah Alleyne opens her with a risky single as Nat Sciver-Brunt misses the stumps with her throw.
Six runs and a wicket coming off Lauren Filer's over.

Alice Davidson-Richards is quite a tall lass at mid-off.
She managed to get her hands up and grab that one.
Glasgow c Davidson-Richards b Filer 9 (WI 58-6)
Glasgow caught by Davidson-Richards at mid-off
Brilliant grab from Alice Davidson-Richards.
Jannillea Glasgow hits Lauren Filer for a boundary through the covers but the England pacer gets her revenge with the very next delivery.
Glasgow goes for a big one again but can only scuff it into the hands of Davidson-Richards at mid-off.
