England secured their second win of the Women's World Cup with a routine seven-wicket victory over Sri Lanka. Wicketkeeper Sarah Taylor (74 not out) struck her first half-century since she returned to cricket following a break from the game with anxiety issues.

Taylor shared a third-wicket stand of 148 with captain Heather Knight (82) as England reached their target with nearly 20 overs to spare at Taunton. Sri Lanka had been restricted to 204-8 as spinner Laura Marsh took 4-45.

Elsewhere in the tournament, West Indies were bowled out for 48 at Leicester as South Africa romped to a 10-wicket win in only 38 deliveries, while unbeaten Australia beat New Zealand by five wickets at Bristol and India beat Pakistan by 95 runs in front of a sell-out crowd at Derby.
