Player of the match Lydia Greenway said: “It’s been another great team performance today. Charlotte and Laura got us off to a good start and everyone coming in knew what they had to do.

“I was really pleased to contribute and to play positively today, it was good to get out there and get some runs under my belt. I always enjoy batting with Sarah Taylor and today we rotated the strike well.

“We were comfortable with the target we set and our bowlers once again put in an excellent performance, all executing their plans to restrict the West Indies.

“We’re really pleased with our performance and we’ll be making sure we continue to the same standard as we head into the final match of the series at Arundel tomorrow.”
