England claimed a one wicket win on the last ball to beat the West Indies in their third T20 Group B game.
With a target of just 109, England fell to 83-6 after being well set on 59-0.
They needed 7 from the final over and despite losing Anya Shrubsole, scrambled a bye from the final ball to pick up the win.

It doesn't bode well for the England batting, beating India with just 6 balls remaining after another collapse on tuesday, then they went from 62-3 to 87-8 before scraping over the line.
Openers Tammy Beaumont and captain Charlotte Edwards put on 59 for the first wicket before England imploded like their male colleagues the day before. Losing 9-47, the English players can only blame poor shots for their wickets and must improve before playing Pakistan on saturday.
However, the English bowling seems to be their biggest strength. Shrubsole continued her fine form with the ball, taking 1-11 from her four overs including that of Stefanie Taylor, whose partnership with Deandra Dottin almost took the West Indies to a winning score.
The win sees England continue unbeaten in the tournament, with a win against Pakistan or West Indies failure to beat India on saturday sealing their place in the semi-finals of the tournament they won in 2009.
