    Voll b Henry 16 (Aus 29-1)

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

  2. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on Test Match Special

    Just stand and deliver. A beautiful shot from Georgia Voll. It's not even a bad ball. Just a brilliant shot.

  3. Aus 25-0

    Dismissive.

    A scoop for four by Georgia Voll is followed by an almighty biff down the ground to continue the flow of Australian runs.

    I fear Michael may be right on the first part of his text at least.

    It will take a miracle for Australia not to win this and the final.

  5. Aus 18-0

    Target 126

    West Indies coach Shane Dietz was chatting to TV during the interval. He confirmed Deandra Dottin had a medical issue before play.

  6. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on Test Match Special

    It's really nicely played by Beth Mooney. A little tickle around the corner.

  7. Aus 16-0

    Problems already for West Indies. Beth Mooney calmly collects her first four and then takes three down to fine leg.

  8. Hayley Matthews is giving herself the second over. If you need a job doing...

  9. Geoff Lemon
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    That's what Qiana Joseph wanted to do during West Indies' powerplay and couldn't get on to one.

    It's possible.

    Georgia Voll picks up the length so quickly from Chinelle Henry and sends the ball flying into the crowd.

    Aus to knock this off in 10?

  12. Thanks, George.

    Another fine all-round effort from Australia's bowlers, despite the late flourish from Deandra Dottin, who has come back out to the field.

    Beth Mooney and Georgia Voll are making their way to the middle.

    I'm going to make a coffee and hand over to Ffion Wynne, who will talk you through the rest of this semi-final.

    While we wait for the chase, have a go at choosing your team of the tournament.

    Pick your XI from the players below, selecting two openers, three batters, two all-rounders, and four bowlers. A wicketkeeper needs to be chosen from the first two categories.

    We'll be revealing the team during the final on 5 July.

    Australia putting the Windies to the sword here. They really are the class act of women's cricket ... can't see anyone else winning the competition, unless the toss makes a difference in the final and they choose the wrong side.

    In the last five years, the lowest total that West Indies have defended (in a non-reduced T20I) is 115, against NZ in St Lucia.

    That West Indies score is higher than what we expected, so I think they'll walk off thinking they've done well.

    But the overall feeling will probably be pure disappointment.

    You can see with that innings from Deandra Dottin what could have been.

    WICKET

    Glasgow c Mooney b Sutherland 15 (WI 125-7)

    A clever slower ball to finish from Annabel Sutherland, who finds the outside edge of Jannillea Glasgow's bat.

    Beth Mooney takes a simple catch and Australia will need 126 to win and book their place in the final at Lord's.

  19. Katherine Sciver-Brunt
    Ex-England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    That was a brilliant little upper cut from Deandra Dottin. Lovely shot.

  20. WI 124-6

    Four more!

    Pure power from Deandra Dottin, who rocks back and crunches Annabel Sutherland past extra cover.

    That might be even better! An upper cut skips away for another four.

    How they could have done with this earlier.
