  2. 'We want to beat the West Indies'published at 13:47 British Summer Time 13 October

    More from England captain Heather Knight, on Lauren Bell's performance: "We've got some any options, which is very pleasing. Linsey Smith hadn't done anything wrong, we just wanted to get Bell into the competition and see what she can do in these conditions, and she was outstanding in a slightly different role bowling in the middle.

    On facing West Indies next: "We will try to win. We will take it one game at a time. We have put ourselves in a good position with the net run-rate, just in case, but we want to win."

  3. 'Pure class Bouchier and Wyatt-Hodge'published at 13:45 British Summer Time 13 October

    England captain Heather Knight, speaking on Sky Sports: "Really pleased with the performance. I think the pitch has got a lot better and the outfield has had a trim. I thought we let them get a bit too many, but we bowled brilliant in those conditions.

    "Then, it was pure class from Maia Bouchier and Danni Wyatt-Hodge. A few of us got the tickets for Kasabian tonight, so very grateful they finished it early so we can get there in time! Bouchier was disappointed with the way she batted the other day. So, to see her go out and have the resilience to do that was great.

    On net run-rate: "We wanted to put ourselves in a good position with the net run rate, so once we had a very good powerplay, it was about how quick we can get it. We talked about it before. The target was 10.5 overs to get above South Africa. Then it was just about getting it as fast as we could. The amount of running they did, it's tough in this heat and they are knackered now."

  4. Wyatt-Hodge hits rapid 51 in win over Scotlandpublished at 13:37 British Summer Time 13 October

    Not to be outdone, Bouchier's opening partner Danni Wyatt-Hodge hit 51 from 26 deliveries, with a mammoth strike rate of 196.15.

  6. 'Only learning to take from World Cup'published at 13:32 British Summer Time 13 October

    Scotland captain Kathryn Bryce, speaking on Sky Sports: "It's been a pretty tough tournament for us, but a massive honour to be here and lead the team out in a massive tournament like this. There can only be learnings that can be taken from it moving forward. It's just about getting the basics right and doing it over and over again with real quality every single time.

    "I think it's always challenging playing in a different stadium for the first time and facing a different team. On this stage as well, the girls are gradually getting used to that. it was the final game and we just went out to enjoy that."

    On the retiring Lorna Jack-Brown: "She's been playing for Scotland for 18 years. It was great to go out and celebrate her career. She's been a huge part of the Cricket Scotland journey. From playing cricket in tiny club grounds to be able to say goodbye at a World Cup stage is really special."

    Player of the match Maia Bouchier: "There was great communication between Danni [Wyatt-Hodge] and I. We knew we had to stick to our strengths which we did really well and we got the team to a win.

    "We got told about net-run-rate in the eighth over and it’s really important at this point in the tournament, there’s such fine margins. Our bowlers did really well to keep their runs down too.

    "We want to take the trophy now. We’re keeping an eye on everyone’s scores and putting ourselves in a really positive position but we’ve got to keep our calm and not think too far ahead.

    "I was proud of my personal performance and I backed myself out there to get us the win."

    I think Scotland will be disappointed with the way they bowled. They had done a decent job in the tournament before today. They will not be happy they didn't put any pressure on England and didn't hold on to that catch earlier either.

    If you have Maia Bouchier and Danni Wyatt-Hodge in that mood and you get them going, they can be unstoppable.

    That partnership between Maia Bouchier and Danni Wyatt-Hodge was fantastic to watch. They were very positive. They got off to a brilliant start and they just continued.

    These two are probably the fittest in the England squad, but they are absolutely exhausted after that innings.

    That final four from Maia Bouchier has proven to be important. By reaching 113-0 it means England have done enough to have a better net run-rate than West Indies.

    That means it would take an almighty defeat for England against West Indies in their final game to miss out on a semi-final spot.

    This is a massive boost for England's confidence. Their march towards the semi-finals continues.

    But Scotland's tournament has come to an end. Their first World Cup has been filled with memories but no wins. But they will be back, no question.

    England win by 10 wicketspublished at 10 overs

    And that's that.

    Maia Bouchier muscles the ball over square leg to seal a thumping 10-wicket win for England, who move up to second in Group B.

    Bouchier ends unbeaten on 62 from 34 balls - the highest score of the tournament so far. She was supported by Danni Wyatt-Hodge, who clubbed 51 from 26.

    Scotland's tournament comes to a disappointing end.

    Village!

    England attempt a risky single and Danni Wyatt-Hodge is stranded in the middle of the wicket. But the throw is woeful and England can run three, bringing up a half-century for Wyatt-Hodge - who is almost too exhausted to raise her bat.

    That's a great shot from Maia Bouchier. She had to change her stance and she changes her hands around as well, allowing her to get more power and elevation.

    England will not wrap this up in 9.3 overs, but it will not be long.

    A reverse pull from Maia Bouchier reaches the boundary to move England to within five runs of victory.

  16. Eng 100-0published at 9 overs

    Scotland turn to Darcey Carter, their sixth bowler of the innings, but they just cannot stem the flow of runs.

    Carter tosses one up and Danni Wyatt-Hodge clatters the ball on one knee through the off-side.

    England need to score 10 runs of the first three balls of the next over to overtake West Indies' net run-rate.

    Brilliant batting from Maia Bouchier. She did get a few freebies to get herself going. Scotland haven't bowled well, but Bouchier has batted very well too.

    A nice moment there when Bouchier got to her 50, Danni Wyatt-Hodge loved it. These two really love batting with each other.

    Scotland turn to Abtaha Maqsood for the first over out of the powerplay, but it is a bit all over the place - including a wild full toss that Danni Wyatt-Hodge scoops over the wicketkeeper's head for four.
