A stellar 56 from Grace Scrivens (which included five fours and two sixes) was the backbone of the English innings, before Ellie Anderson ripped through the West Indian line up, taking five wickers. Alexa Stonehouse also picked up two wickets. Ashmini Munisar and Djenaba Joseph were shining lights for the West Indies on a tough afternoon, with Munisar picking up two wickets and Joseph making 44 not out with the bat.
