    Maia Bouchier looks frustrated. She would have wanted to see England home.

    WICKET

    Bouchier c Prendergast b Kelly 104 (Eng 223-3)

    Ah. Maia Bouchier gives it away after getting to her ton. She's hit Arlene Kelly straight to long-on. Bouchier has done plenty to win this game for England but won't be there to finish the job.

    Ex-England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    It's all about looking for the players who can convert scores into hundreds. We are looking for the next generation to replace Tammy Beaumont and Heather Knight.

  4. Eng 223-2

    England are have spaces to fill in their top order after the retirements of Heather Knight and Tammy Beaumont. This is timely for Maia Bouchier.

    Superb hundred by Bouchier who has shown particular skill against the spinners both today and through her ODI career. She averages 74 at a strike rate of 121 against spinners from her 17 ODI innings.

    A magnificent century from Maia Bouchier. What a way to make a statement with England looking for more batting stability.

  7. 100 runs

    100 for Maia Bouchier

    There it is!

    Back in the ODI team and back in the runs. Maia Bouchier gets to her century in 91 deliveries. She will face better bowling attacks in her career but it has been a good knock in the circumstances.

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

    You would have think something terrible would have to happen here for England to lose from here.

  9. Eng 216-2

    Bouchier 98, Capsey 21

    There's no century for Maia Bouchier in this over. England are making light work of this chase.

  10. Eng 215-2

    Target 282

    Smiling faces have gathered on the England balcony. They're ready to cheer Maia Bouchier's century.

    She keeps the strike and moves to 97.

  11. Eng 213-2

    This helps those stats. Alice Capsey puts away a short ball down the leg side from Kia McCartney.

  12. Rufus Bullough
    CricViz analyst

    Capsey has shown encouraging signs against pace bowling in her ODI career so far, but has struggled massively against spin:

    • v Pace - Avg 31, SR 99
    • v Spin - Avg 17, SR 64

  13. Eng 208-2

    Need 74 more runs to win

    Maia Bouchier ticks on to 94 not out when given a freebie of a loopy full toss. She swings it over mid-on for her 10th four. This would be her second ODI hundred.

  14. Rufus Bullough
    CricViz analyst

    The ball from Murray to dismiss Grewcock was the equal slowest bowled by the wrist spinner so far today, turning big off the surface through the gate of the left-hander.

  15. Eng 200-2

    Bouchier 89, Capsey 14

    More runs for Alice Capsey, who squeezes a wide ball down through where the slips would be. It cannot be cut off before bumbling on into the boundary rope.

    I feel like Capsey has really taken a step forward with her game this year.

  16. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Oh that has been absolutely larrupped for six by Capsey!

  17. 6 runs

    Eng 191-2

    Need 91 more runs to win

    Alice Capsey has had far more rest than she could have after her day behind the stumps. And now she plays the most dismissive shot of the day by smacking spinner Cara Murray for six over mid-wicket. That's the first six of England's innings.

  18. Timothy Abraham

    This should be a formality for England.

    Here's Matthew Henry to guide you through the rest of the contest.

  19. Eng 182-2

    Maia Bouchier into the 80s after working Jane Maguire into the gaps.

  20. Eng 177-2

    Sophia Dunkley has laid the foundation for England's chase at Grace Road with a fluent 73 off 61 balls.

    Here's the best of it.
