    14.3 bullseye! An epic partnership comes to an end! Knight floats this up full on leg stump slanting this across from around the wicket. Lanning charges and misses a heave across the line, almost yorking herself. Middle stump is clattered halfway up. 162/1
    14.5 what's the line about waiting for a bus to come all day and then two come along at once.... flighted generously on eighth stump, Shafali charges and doesn't get to the pitch. She flails at this and gets a healthy toe edge through to the keeper. It would have been a straightforward stumping if there was no edge. The keeper holds on and takes the bails off just in case getting a two for one appeal. 163/2

    6.3 soft dismissal at short fine leg! Half-tracker outside leg, tries to baby this with a paddle flick behind square rather than go for a vicious smash and pays the price as a top edge flutters to the right of the fielder on the ring and she reaches across her body while jogging to her right to take this in stride at chest height. 56/2
    4.2 It's Shafali's day! Full on eighth stump, charges and smashes a drive flat to mid-off where Shafali Verma flings herself to her right on the edge of the ring and latches onto a super effort at ankle height. It was coming at a brisk pace and she had little time to get there, only moved a few yards but intercepted it brilliantly. Shafali has a wide-brimming smile. 41/1

    10.3 U-S-A! U-S-A! drag on! A length ball angled across fourth stump, Perry charges and gets a bottom edge that goes onto middle stump. A stream of Stars and Stripes explodes out of the stumps on contact. The best of Americana is on display at the Brabourne! 89/3
    10.5 ohhhhh say can you seeeeeee... a game-shifting medium pace spell! Length ball on the stumps pulls this loosely by the dawn's early light... whoops, I mean pulls this loosely toward deep backward square leg. Simple catch taken at waist height. 90/4
    12.2 ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED BY THE GREATEST AMERICAN-BORN PACE BOWLER SINCE JOHN BART KING?!?! Full outside leg stump, charges this and drives straight down the throat of long-on! Simple catch taken eight yards in from the rope at neck height. 93/5
    17.5 GIVE TARA NORRIS ALL THE FINEST WINES, MEATS AND CHEESES IN ALL THE LAND! THE FIRST EVER FIVE-WICKET HAUL IN THE WPL GOES TO AN AMERICAN! Length ball outside off, slapped tamely to extra cover and a simple catch taken at waist height on the ring. Team America is policing the day in Brabourne. 150/8
    12.3 WHAT HAS TARA NORRIS HAD FOR BREAKFAST?! SHE'S CARRIED A BOX OF WHEATIES IN HER SUITCASE TO MUMBAI! BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS! Fullish length on sixth stump, checks a drive and spoons a catch that floats low to short third on the ring. Lunging catch taken and Norris is on a hat-trick! 93/6
    13.1 short ball on the legs, goes to pull and top edges this ballooning to short fine leg and a basic catch is taken by Radha on the edge of the ring at head height. 96/7
