  1. Aus 64-2

    Target 126

    Just one run off the over as Perry steals a single.

    Frustration for West Indies, though - they needed that kind of discipline at the beginning of the innings.

  2. Aus 63-2

    Aaliyah Alleyne starts her spell with four dot balls to Ellyse Perry, which are applauded by The Oval crowd...

    It's just about making sure you get the job done and Australia are being dominant, showing why they're ranked the best team in the world and feared by many teams.

    They're just cruising along.

  4. Australia are making light work of this.

    They've been a class apart here today.

  5. Aus 63-2

    Target 126

    Brutal.

    West Indies' body language is already completely deflated.

    Hayley Matthews puts an arm around the shoulder of her young bowler as Mooney chops another two boundaries past point to conclude a very productive Australian powerplay.

    West Indies had 35-0 at the end of theirs.

  6. Aus 53-2

    Beth Mooney also looks in good touch here, although she is being gifted a fair few of her runs.

    Two short balls from Jahzara Claxton are put away with ease, the first punched through the covers and the second is pulled firmly over the leg side.

    Australia cruise past 50 having barely broken a sweat.

    Sorry Saj (16:36), I'm not seeing it. South Africa have too much firepower and England haven't been fully tested as yet. England have the batting, but not sure the bowlers have the steel when under pressure.

  8. Aus 45-2

    Target 126

    Ellyse Perry is in at four for Australia, and she has been in sparkling form, coming into this game on the back of consecutive half-centuries.

    No wonder Hayley Matthews turned around straight away and went upstairs. That was absolutely out. Cannoning into the middle stump.

    Litchfield lbw b Matthews 4 (Aus 43-2)

    Well, what do I know?

    Hayley Matthews had gone back to her mark and everything, but they all have to come back together to celebrate as it's shown to be hitting middle!

    Litchfield departs for four and Matthews produces the goods for her side yet again.

  11. It doesn't fill me with confidence that all the fielders have gone back to their positions before the replay has even reached the big screen...

  12. West Indies review

    Now then...

    Phoebe Litchfield misses a reverse sweep and Matthews wants a second look.

  13. Here comes Hayley Matthews to try and produce some magic for West Indies.

    She's their leading wicket-taker so far, with nine.

  14. Aus 39-1

    Target 126

    England have still got to beat South Africa first, Saj!

    I think England will give Australia a good match, but they still look too good for us as well.

    This is just too easy for Beth Mooney.

  17. Aus 37-1

    Target 126

    Pure class from Beth Mooney.

    Karishma Ramharack is greeted by two boundaries in her first three balls.

    Two glorious shots through the covers and Australia are flying.

  18. How's stat?!

    Ben Jones
    CricViz analyst

    They may have lost a wicket, but Australia have been excellent in these opening overs. Their false shot percentage (5%) is miles below West Indies' 26% at the same stage today

    Slower ball yorker from Chinelle Henry. Not sure it was meant to be, but it just dipped on Georgia Voll at the last minute.

    But she has set the tone at the top of the order.

    Voll b Henry 16 (Aus 29-1)

    Hang on. Georgia Voll is not content with two boundaries in the over and swings again. This one is a clever slower ball from Chinelle Henry, however, and it yorks the Australia opener.
