England secure ODI series whitewash against West Indies despite poor weather, Nat Sciver-Brunt top scores in Taunton

England beat the West Indies by nine wickets to wrap up a 3-0 ODI series whitewash at a rain-soaked County Ground.

Play was paused for more than five hours in Taunton due to poor weather, but England were ruthless when the action got underway.

Nat Sciver-Brunt top-scored for the hosts with a knock of 57 to help wrap up a convincing victory.

Sarah Glenn impressed with the ball in hand, finishing with three wickets as the tourists were limited to 106-8 in their innings.

The West Indies suffered through a disastrous start to proceedings. Opener Realeanna Grimmond was caught for a duck after edging the ball into the hands of England wicketkeeper Amy Jones, leaving her side on 1-1.

Things went from bad to worse moments later when Zaida James was bowled for a duck by Em Arlott.

That left the West Indies on 2-2, and it was 4-3 less than two overs later, after Stefanie Taylor was lbw off another excellent delivery from Arlott.

Qiana Joseph and Shemaine Campbelle got the tourists back on the right track, helping them up to 43-3 before rain stopped play.

The action got back underway at 5pm, but it was more of the same from England.

Amy Jones stumped Campbelle before Sarah Glenn sent Shabika Gajnabi packing to leave the West Indies on 46-5.

Alice Davidson-Richards then produced an excellent catch at mid-off to dismiss Jannillea Glasgow.

Joseph reached 34 before being caught by Sophia Dunkley. Aaliyah Alleyne also impressed with a knock of 27, but she was eventually caught by Dunkley.  

England, with 21 overs to secure the whitewash, made a great start, reaching 40 before Dunkley was lbw to Karishma Ramharack.

However, that was not enough to stop England as Sciver-Brunt and Alice Capsey took England up to 109-1 to wrap up the victory.
