- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.3 horror mix-up, Lee is stranded! Short again, but straighter this time and Lee was rushed on the pull. Top edge looped up and over Taylor but didn't make it past the leg-gully region. Lee didn't know where the ball was and Lamb tried to send her back, but she reacted very late to it, scrambling to get back on her feet after slipping over. Taylor kept her cool, under-arming it to the fielder, who knocked the bails off with Lee miles short of her ground 8/13.4 top-edged sweep, straight to short fine leg! Full on the stumps, hint of turn as Lamb got down to sweep, and Baker - on debut - gets round to her right to snaffle a simple enough chance. Fire have their second 18/210.3 tight to the stumps, on a length, leading edge towards cover-point, and Redmayne dives over her right shoulder to take the catch! Good grab. Hennessy makes the breakthrough 49/314.5 cut straight to point! Width outside off, on a length, and Harman picked out Redmayne in the ring. Not her best innings, struggling for fluency and lacking intent between the wickets 80/417.4 on a length outside off with pace off, and MdP can only chip to mid-off. Big wind-up but didn't pick the slower ball, and sliced it straight to Smith diving forwards 106/518.4 skips down, hacking with a strong bottom hand, straight to midwicket on the edge of the ring! Easy catch for Harvey, Matthews tossed this up slightly slower, and Cross couldn't cut it over the infield 109/6Extras11 (b 1, w 10)TOTAL120/6 (20 Overs, RR: 6 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Lizelle Lee, 0.3 ov), 2-18 (Emma Lamb, 3.4 ov), 3-49 (Georgie Boyce, 10.3 ov), 4-80 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 14.5 ov), 5-106 (Mignon du Preez, 17.4 ov), 6-109 (Kate Cross, 18.4 ov)
