3.55pm: That will be end of live action with the match getting abandoned due to rain. That means the series will be decided on Sunday. After a delayed start, Australia kicked off the 29-over contest with the big wicket of Hayley Matthews, thanks to Kim Garth. Alana King, who replaced the injured Darcie Brown, rattled the West Indies with three quick wickets. Annabel Sutherland then joined the party with the wicket of Chinelle Henry and picked up two more wickets before the washout. For West Indies, Aaliyah Alleyne, at No.7, helped the team cross 100 with an unbeaten 28 off 41 balls. They reached 107 for 8 before the rain stopped the game in the 26th over. Batting has been West Indies' concern in both their games and come Sunday, they would be looking to put up a better show to level the series. Australia currently lead the series 1-0 and looks firm favourites to clinch the series.
That will likely be the end of West Indies' innings. Not a huge amount of spare time to work with. Believe they can play until 5.25pm, so work back from that to get what we'd need for a 20-over chase. Stay tuned as we will bring you further updates.
3.20pm: It has started raining. Covers are coming on. West Indies batters make their way out of the field. Australia players are helping with the covers. Pretty strong winds over there. A few are holding down the one in the middle while others help with the big one that is yet to be pulled on. "We could get blown away here," says Healy on the microphone. Everyone out there from the Australia squad - coaches and backroom staff - are seen helping.
