- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.2 curls into the pads, a very ambitious appeal for lbw... but the stumping is much closer! Holland goes wandering, no idea where the ball has ended up, and the keeper Heath rushes up to flick off the bails! 8/16.3 makes room to leg, gets her stumps splattered! Very full from Wareham, Gibson almost yorked herself with the wrong footwork, and a bit of grip on a middle-stump line results in the off stump being pegged back 32/29.5 calamitous run-out! Knight is gone, she and Kerr almost have time to decide who is toast as they meet in the middle of the pitch. A full-stretched dive from Armitage at mid-on, an under-arm at the stumps. Didn't need the direct hit but got it anyway. Spirit's spirit is ebbing away! 53/48.3 full toss, and spannered straight at midwicket! Filth gets wickets! A rank full-bunger, any combination of contact and placement would have been six all the way. Inside it's a toe-ender! 43/315.1 honked in the air, up the slope, doesn't get the timing, and Cross swoops in to break a threatening stand! 90/516.3 slower-ball bouncer... and an excellent take at square leg! Glenn was forced to check her pull and lost her momentum through the stroke. Still got a good piece of it, but Higham raced in, dived forward and picked off a fine catch 101/619.5 tossed up, very full, they scamper one final single, or not as the case may be, as the keeper has whipped off the bails... but nonetheless... 134 for 6 is very competitive 135/7Extras5 (lb 2, w 3)TOTAL135/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.75 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Niamh Holland, 1.2 ov), 2-32 (Danielle Gibson, 6.3 ov), 3-43 (Grace Harris, 8.3 ov), 4-53 (Heather Knight, 9.5 ov), 5-90 (Richa Ghosh, 15.1 ov), 6-101 (Sarah Glenn, 16.3 ov), 7-135 (Charlie Dean, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 retreats to leg, has a wipe as Filer goes to her length ball, and a thin edge to the keeper! Kelly was properly rattled in that brief dalliance, and Spirit strike early! 7/18.4 full and straight, dips to pitch and strike the knee-roll, and up goes the finger! Playing across the line, Rodrigues reviews, but in vain, that's clipping leg and it's a big breakthrough! 56/214.3 switch hit, and straight to deep cover! Now this game has been flipped on its head! Nailed the shot well enough, chasing the width outside off, but it was up the slope and Monaghan ran back well and grabbed it above her head. Both big-hitters gone, and Spirit take command! 99/510.1 soft dismissal! A regulation legbreak, a half-cocked slap off the back foot, and a looping chance to point! That'll change the equation 63/313.3 honked down the throat of long-on! Long levers once more, but not enough elevation to clear Grace Harris. Big breakthrough, as the Bessinator goes 97/415.4 attempted ramp, gets nothing substantial on it! Ghosh sees the ball bobble off the face of the blade, into the body and away to the off-side, and flings out her right glove, diving round from behind the stumps! 105/6Extras6 (nb 2, w 4)TOTAL136/6 (19.4 Overs, RR: 6.86 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Marie Kelly, 1.3 ov), 2-56 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 8.4 ov), 3-63 (Hollie Armitage, 10.1 ov), 4-97 (Bess Heath, 13.3 ov), 5-99 (Phoebe Litchfield, 14.3 ov), 6-105 (Alice Davidson-Richards, 15.4 ov)
