    She just hasn't been able to pick the change of pace at all. You can respect the way she's got out there, seeing if she can get hold of it.

    WICKET

    Joseph c Gardner b Molineux 16 (WI 55-2)

    A frustrating knock comes to an end.

    Qiana Joseph tries to clear the ropes as Sophie Molineux returns to the attack, but only picks out the safe hands of Ash Gardner.

    Stefanie Taylor joins Shemaine Campbelle in the middle.

    The brutal reality is that Joseph should retire from the crease & let the next WI batter in for the sake of the team. It might already be too late, WI need a good score or they're toast & it's not happening for Joseph.

    Going at six runs an over against the best team in the world is not going to win you a semi-final.

  5. WI 55-1

    A bright start from new batter Shemaine Campbelle, who sweeps behind square for four before punching through the covers for another boundary.

    Still, Australia well on top.

    It's not the wicket West Indies wanted to fall. Hayley Matthews had to be there and stay there. You feel like she was so important for the West Indies. A huge wicket.

    WICKET

    Matthews b Wareham 30 (WI 47-1)

    A massive wicket for Australia.

    Hayley Matthews - perhaps feeling the pressure building - tries to paddle one round the corner but is bowled round her legs.

    Georgia Wareham strikes with her first ball.

    She sets herself up for the slower ball and she waits and waits and waits and then hits it. That's the difference. She's been swinging.

  9. 6 runs

    WI 45-0

    It's been a long time coming, but Qiana Joseph finally nails one.

    A big six over long-off.

  10. WI 38-0

    The other issue for West Indies is Qiana Joseph isn't as quick between the wickets as Hayley Matthews.

    They really should have got two after a top-edged hook shot, but it's only a single and Jospeh is back on strike.

    Is it time to retire Qiana Joseph? Either retire or go out swinging.

  12. WI 37-0

    A tidy over from Ash Gardner despite that dropped catch.

    West Indies are going at less than a run a ball, which simply won't be enough.

    That was so random. She had hold of that for ages.

  14. Joseph dropped on 6

    The first ball Qiana Joseph gets out of the middle of the bat is straight down the throat of Georgia Voll at deep midwicket.

    However, she puts down a fairly straightforward catch, perhaps worried about the boundary sponge behind her.

  15. Australia have put the brakes on a little bit here.

    Matthews dropped on 27

    Potentially a big moment to end the powerplay.

    Lucy Hamilton dives full length to her left and gets a good hand on a powerful pull shot from Hayley Matthews.

    It's only a half-chance, but it goes down as a drop nonetheless.

    They're toying with Qiana Joseph now and she's getting frustrated. I feel like Hayley Matthews is getting even more frustrated.

  18. WI 34-0

    Two more dots for Qiana Joseph before a miscue over cover brings one.

    She has six off 16.

  19. WI 32-0

    A much-needed boundary for West Indies as Hayley Matthews guides one past short third for four.

  20. WI 28-0

    Qiana Joseph keeps chewing up balls.

    Four straight dots to finish the fifth over. Something has to give.
