- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.5 punched into the covers, and a direct hit! Outstanding pick-up on the drive at mid-off, a first-time shy at the non-striker's end, and Smith didn't even try to run her bat in. Curtains! A dive might have saved her, but we'll never know! 3/19.3 the swing wins it! Bell unfurls another inswinger, Matthews gets inside her drive, and Wellington at backward point clings onto a flying edge. That's a huge wicket 52/35.1 Swept, top-edged, caught! First ball, and there's the wicket! Flighted delivery, enticing the slog-sweep, a looping top-edge and swallowed at short backward square. Easy game! 26/214.5 confusion in the covers, and the umpire signals the run-out! Flashed off the back foot, Wyatt gathers swiftly, unleashed in an instant, and Redmayne had no hope of completing the single! Big moment 74/69.4 massive inswinger and Taylor's gone first ball! We've got a review, but that looked plumb to me. Taylor was deep in her crease, feet going nowhere. Maybe an inside-edge could save her? Nope... now, was it doing too much? That's the other consideration. Nope, smashing leg! 52/411.4 one thump too many! Taylor flings it out wide, correctly anticipating another gallop to the pitch, and Luff is nowhere in the frame as the bails are whipped off! 65/518.3 another simple stumping! A giddy gallop to the pitch, fired past the ambitious slog to leg, past the off stump too, and into the braced gloves of Rudd 100/7Extras12 (lb 4, w 8)TOTAL110/7 (20 Overs, RR: 5.5 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Bryony Smith, 1.5 ov), 2-26 (Alice Macleod, 5.1 ov), 3-52 (Hayley Matthews, 9.3 ov), 4-52 (Sarah Taylor, 9.4 ov), 5-65 (Sophie Luff, 11.4 ov), 6-74 (Georgia Redmayne, 14.5 ov), 7-100 (Piepa Cleary, 18.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.5 short on the legs, goes to pull and misses but there's a big noises as it passes the hip. Big shout for caught behind denied. They appeal for DRS. Ultraedge shows it came off the glove. Decision overturned. Wyatt was in a groove but she has to go. Lost in all the DRS excitement was a superlative take down leg by Sarah Taylor. 16/18.4 waist high full toss on middle stump, Dunkley's eyes light up trying to heave this over the leg side rope but mishits this high over cover in the ring and this time a very easy chance is held onto. 58/2Extras6 (lb 2, w 4)TOTAL112/2 (16.4 Overs, RR: 6.66 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 1.5 ov), 2-58 (Sophia Dunkley, 8.4 ov)
