    WICKET

    Capsey run out (McCartney) 10 (Eng 200-3)

    Gone!

    Alice Capsey did not manage to get her bat back and Ireland pick-up a fortunate wicket.

    The players will take drinks prior to Freya Kemp takes up her position at the non-striker's end.

  2. Umpire review

    Could Alice Capsey be in trouble here?

    Sophia Dunkley drives straight down the ground, the ball deflects off Kia McCartney's thumb and clips the stumps.

    Capsey might not have grounded her bat in time here - the umpires are going to take a look.

    Sophia Dunkley's second fifty came off just 37 balls to bring up her run-a-ball hundred.

    Her most productive shot in this innings has been the cut, with five boundaries coming from the shot.

  4. Eng 197-2

    A third over without a boundary, but England take eight runs off Cara Murray's over.

    The leg-spinner has been Ireland's most economical bowler today, she's going at five an over.

    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    Four women's ODI centuries have been scored at New Road.

    Two have come from current England openers Maia Bouchier and Sophia Dunkley.

    The other two were from Lauren Winfield-Hill and Tammy Beaumont who both hit centuries as England reached their record ODI total of 378 against Pakistan here in 2016.

  6. Eng 189-2

    England work five singles off Kia McCartney's latest over.

    Alice Capsey has had her troubles against spin in ODI cricket, two thirds of her dismissals coming against spinners for an average of just 16. In particular she has found herself trapped in-front often with 40% of her dismissals coming LBW, more than double the global average (15%).

  8. Eng 184-2

    Alice Capsey comes out at four for England.

    She takes a single to cover off her second ball to get off the mark.

    Jodi Grewcock has just given her wicket away. It should have been punched left or right for easy runs but she instead punches it straight at the fielder.

    WICKET

    Grewcock c & b Murray 35 (Eng 183-2)

    England are dominating, but that's the second soft dismissal.

    Jodi Grewcock departs for 35, simply pushing the ball straight back to spinner Cara Murray.

    A start, but Grewcock will be pretty disappointed with that.

  11. Eng 181-1

    A tidy shot from Jodi Grewcock.

    The left-handed number three punches Kia McCartney's delivery past mid-off in the air for four.

    Sophia Dunkley has played magnificently well today.

    And you can see from the celebrations how much it has meant for her. The reaction from the England dressing room also shows this is a very popular player and a popular hundred as well.

  13. 100 for Sophia Dunkley

    Eng 173-1

    A century off a century of balls!

    Sophia Dunkley brings up her second international century at exactly a run a ball.

    She finds the boundary on the off side to move to 99 and then reaches her landmark from the next delivery, pushing a single past Louise Little.

  14. Phil Long
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    Jodi Grewcock has moved past her previous high score in ODIs of 24, which came in the previous game.

    Her scores in ODIs so far are 3, 10, 9 and 24.

    Another productive over for England. Sophia Dunkley has been helped on by the bowler there.

    Frustrating for Ireland as they can't seem to bowl six balls in the same area to put some pressure on their opponents.

  16. Eng 167-1

    The century is in sight for Sophia Dunkley.

    She moves into the nineties with four through long-off, then adds another boundary off the last ball of Arlene Kelly's over, wristily dispatching the ball behind square.

  17. Ffion Wynne
    BBC Sport cricket writer on BBC Radio Sports Extra

    Jodi Grewcock has done well to get herself a start. She will definitely want to make the most of it now. Pressure is off her as she has got time on her hands.

  18. Eng 156-1

    A trio of singles of Louise Little's fifth over.

    Jodi Grewcock drives the opening ball to mid-off, where there's a mis-field but England only take the one run.

  19. Ffion Wynne
    BBC Sport cricket writer on BBC Radio Sports Extra

    I think England will probably have an eye on their ODI record score of 378. They've got nine wickets in hand.

  20. Eng 153-1

    Thanks Adwaidh, England looking very strong here.

    Jodi Grewcock drives Marie Kelly down the ground and Cara Murray does some good work, diving from mid-off and just about keeping her face out of a pile of sawdust used to mark out the bowlers' run-ups.

    Only a single there, but Sophia Dunkley does pick-up her 11th four through the covers, bringing up England's 150 from 155 balls.
