- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.1 a belated appeal for lbw by the keeper, but turned down! And Invincibles review. There is no inside edge there, as Lanning drives forward and is beaten on the inside edge. Ball tracking shows the ball is pitching just about outside off, and lands on a good length. It then seams back in sharply, as replays confirm that it would have hit the leg stump. Wow! 2/13.2 skied to mid-off! The fielder hardly has to move a step to her right to catch this. Slater bowled on the fuller side of a length, with the line being wide of off again. Redmayne went lofting away from her body, and went for the shot with her bottom hand off. The ball went off from the bottom of the bat, and resulted in a wicket 10/26.3 a yorker-length ball around sixth stump, and driven away to deep point. And, and... there is a mix-up which results in a run-out! Griffith had called two early, but was sent back by Knight after the fielder at deep point did well to move forward and throw it in time for the bowler to collect, and strike the stumps at the non-striker's end 31/38.2 spooned back to the bowler! Wellington barely has to move to her left, as the ball arrives at a comfortable height. She tossed the ball up again, as it dipped on a full length outside off. Knight went pushing at it in front of her body, almost reaching out for it. In the end, it ended up getting chipped back for a return catch 37/57.2 trapped lbw, and the umpire raises her finger after a confident appeal by MacDonald-Gay! The ball was on a short of a length just outside off, and angled in by the bowler. It seamed in to striker the batter's back pad, and also kept low, as Gibson looked to swipe but missed 33/49.4 ohhh, stumped? Maybe. The square-leg umpire refers it to his TV colleague. This looks tight. Freeborn lost her balance, and the stumps were broken by the keeper just in time before the batter's back leg could make it inside the crease again. Villiers had tossed the ball up, and bowled on a fullish length outside off. The ball jumped off the pitch, as the keeper rose to collect it high, after Freeborn was beaten as she looked to sweep 41/611.3 chipped to mid-off! Dean got across her stumps early, and I think she first shaped to sweep, but seeing that the ball was full and just outside off, went ahead to play through the line. In the end, it landed right into mid-off's lap, with the fielder being closer in than usual too 47/718.2 bowled her! Quite short in length from Smale, who bowled it around middle stump. The ball turned away, as Gray went to pull but missed. I think she must have been beaten by the change of angle too, as this one angled across her 103/8Extras11 (b 1, lb 2, nb 4, w 4)TOTAL120/8 (20 Overs, RR: 6 per 6 ball)Did not bat: TG NorrisFall of wickets: 1-2 (Meg Lanning, 1.1 ov), 2-10 (Georgia Redmayne, 3.2 ov), 3-31 (Cordelia Griffith, 6.3 ov), 4-33 (Danielle Gibson, 7.2 ov), 5-37 (Heather Knight, 8.2 ov), 6-41 (Abigail Freeborn, 9.4 ov), 7-47 (Charlie Dean, 11.3 ov), 8-103 (Eva Gray, 18.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.2 Huge appeal for lbw and the umpire's finger is up in a jiffy. That looked plumb on first view. Pushes quicker on off and middle, she looks for a sweep, loses shape and is struck bang in front of the wickets. No review, too from her. 29/111.4 Cleans her up. Slower length ball on middle and leg, she shuffles right across eyeing a scoop, misses and sees her stumps in a mess 70/2Extras6 (lb 4, w 2)TOTAL121/2 (18.1 Overs, RR: 6.64 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-29 (Chamari Athapaththu, 5.2 ov), 2-70 (Alice Capsey, 11.4 ov)
