FOUR! MORE RUNS! Loops it up on middle and off. Nat Sciver-Brunt makes a bit of room and lofts it down the ground for a boundary.

.
Tossed up on leg, Nat Sciver-Brunt looks to sweep but misses and gets hit on the pads. Appeal for LBW but it was pitching outside the line.

SIX! Century for Nat Sciver-Brunt! Dropped on 3, goes onto score a century. That's how you make the most of the lifeline. What a way to bring up as well. Angles across a full ball, outside off. Nat Sciver-Brunt lofts it cleanly over extra cover for a biggie. Smart cricket from Nat Sciver-Brunt as she held one end really well. Her 10th ODI century. Five in ICC Womens World Cup, a record!

Sugandika Kumari floats it up on middle, skidding a bit. Nat Sciver-Brunt closes the face of the bat too early and gets a leading edge to mid-wicket where it lands in the vacant area. A couple of runs.
Sugandika Kumari (9-0-52-2) to bowl the penultimate over.

THREE RUNS! Top effort in the deep. Fuller delivery on middle, Nat Sciver-Brunt heaves it to deep mid-wicket. Vishmi Gunarathne from deep square leg, runs across to her left and flicks the ball back in time. The ball almost rolls back into the fence but she does well to keep it in play. Saves a certain boundary.

Bye! Udeshika Prabodhani goes for the yorker-length delivery, outside off. Nat Sciver-Brunt looks to jam it out but misses and it rolls through the keeper's leg for a bye.

That could have been close! Tad fuller and on middle, Smith plays it back towards the other side of the stumps. Udeshika Prabodhani goes on the ground, and stretches her left hand out, in an attempt to deflect it into the stumps at the non-striker's end, but the ball bounces off the surface, evades her hands and rolls onto the stumps. It trickles away to long on for a single. The third umpire still wants to have a look at it. UltraEdge loads - a flat line on it. It was an umpire's review to clear it up. But had the ball brushed Udeshika's fingers, Nat Sciver-Brunt was out of her crease.

Straighter delivery on the pads. Smith clips it to square leg for a single.
Linsey Smith is in at number 10.
OUT! STUMPED! Sri Lanka Women pick another. Number 2 for Sugandika Kumari. Slides it full and down the leg side. Sophie Ecclestone takes a premeditated dance down the track, she fails to flick it away and the keeper, Anushka Sanjeewani, collects and whips the bails off. Ecclestone turns to slide her bat in but she was too late. Nat Sciver-Brunt loses yet another partner. Sophie Ecclestone goes for 3 (4) and England Women are 216/8 after 46.5 overs.
