McGrath to Filer, OUT, a little tickle, and the keeper is up in celebration! England lose their ninth, with ten runs still in arrears. Filer tried to slash that far away from her body, without really getting close to the pitch of the ball. This was a length ball around off, which moved away, and sharply so. Filer had a go with a fairly flat bat, and got the edge
