Eng 4-1published at 0.2 overs
Target 82
That's more like what we expected.
Nat Sciver-Brunt gets a ball on the pads first up and whips it away for four.
Lovely shot from the England skipper.
After that dramatic start, England settle in and take six from the first over.
That wicket should at least concentrate the minds of the batters. These 82 runs still need scoring. Well, 76 more now.

A wicket first ball! And it's a beauty too!
Wyatt-Hodge b James 0 (Eng 0-1)
Hang on just a moment...
What a start for West Indies.
Lovely delivery from left-arm spinner Zaida James, just getting the ball to drift in to Danni Wyatt-Hodge.
The England opener tries to fire it through the off side, misses and is bowled.
Might we have a proper contest after all?
Thanks, Adwaidh.
Yep, I'm expecting this to be one of my shorter stints on the live text.
But I'm ready and raring to go, as are the England openers so let's enjoy this chase while it lasts...
That's all from me for now.
And it looks like England are cruising towards a series victory against the West Indies.
Time to hand you over to Sam Drury, who'll take you through what should be a brief and straightforward chase for the hosts.
England all-rounder Charlie Dean, speaking to Sky Sports: "We started so well in the powerplay, Em Arlott bowled brilliantly well and we all chipped in. So good innings.
"When you get wickets early on, you really have to pounce and I'm pleased with how we went about it today.
"Dunks' catch was brilliant, we hung onto all our catches and that's what we want to do.
"We want to be the best team in the world and being ruthless and winning these games in a good manner is how we can go about it.
"You've got to be adaptable but it was quite nice not to bowl in the powerplay today, the girls did a brilliant job."
England will be pleased with their bowling and fielding displays today.
There was only one direction the West Indies innings was going once they lost their leader Hayley Matthews for six runs.
Now it's up to the batters to finish the job in Hove.
The chase is coming up shortly.

It was a very bang average innings.
Teams get bowled out for 80 but there was no impetus from West Indies.
Melissa Story
Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra
Plenty of smiles on the faces of the England players.
A below par score from the West Indies. You can imagine England will be wanting to chase this down quickly.
Ramharack 5, Fraser 4
Four dots in a row from Issy Wong before a slower ball is dispatched to the leg side for a couple by Karishma Ramharack.
Wong then beats Ramharack in the final delivery as Windies finish with a paltry 81-9.
A job well done by the England bowlers.

Hayley Matthews in the dugout does not look too happy at all.
Fraser 3, Ramharack 1
The penultimate over of the West Indies innings and only three runs come out of it.
Linsey Smith keeps things tight against the Windies tail-enders.
Issy Wong will bowl the last over.
Soham Sarkhel
CricViz analyst
Issy Wong's slower balls have been very effective across this series. Out of her nine such deliveries, she has conceded just eight runs and picked up two wickets.
Fraser 3, Ramharack 1
Two more overs to go.
Lauren Bell finishes her spell with 3-28.

I'd like to see England come out here and see just how quickly they can chase it down.

Good communication between Nat Sciver-Brunt and Heather Knight, you could hear Sciver-Brunt's shout from here.
She took that well as she was backpedalling.
Fletcher c Sciver-Brunt b Bell 2 (WI 75-9)
West Indies lose their ninth wicket.
It's a slower delivery from Lauren Bell and Afy Fletcher skies it. It was up in the air for a while and England skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt gets underneath it and completes the catch.
Bell has her third wicket of the evening.
Fletcher 2, Fraser 3
Issy Wong completes the 17th over conceding just three runs while picking up the crucial wicket of Shabika Gajnabi.
All of England's bowlers have been at the top of their game today.

Very early days but England look revitalised. This looks like a team again, not a poorly led, under-performing clique. Thank you Charlotte Edwards.
