Good luck to @englandcricket in the #WT20 final against West Indies in India later this afternoon! http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ce9d2CDWwAAnUwi.jpg
Meanwhile, the English FA have given their best wishes to their cricket counterparts. Could a win today be followed by glory at Euro 2016 for the footballing contingent?
WI Women are 135/1 and need 14 runs from 12 balls - that's easily doable, but this is where the nerves come in. Play it safe and risk a frantic finish, or go for broke and risk a collapse?
... go for broke it is! That's a four off the first ball of the penultimate over, which leaves 10 runs needed off of 11 balls.
Poor fielding sees Dottin smash another four, and now it's just 6 from 10.
Five games down, one to go. Here's @josbuttler on the key moments on the road to the final: the-ecb.co.uk/JamOdL http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CfHR7OtXEAQyGZE.jpg
