Verma departs for a run-a-ball 16 51/41.2 tighter line and she chips straight to extra cover! Good start from Farrant and the Invincibles. 1/14.2 ah, Mack attemps a similar shot, but picks out short fine leg, Eva Gray takes an excellent catch diving forward! 25/25.2 and the captain, van Niekerk, gets the breakthrough! Quicker ball, on middle stump, Jones advances down the pitch and is beaten, Sarah Bryce gathering to complete an important stumping 28/314.3 oh, and Erin Burns' excellent innings comes to an end. She didn't latch onto that one from Gregory and slapped it straight to deep midwicket! Grace Gibbs takes the catch to end Burns' knock 85/612.1 full and she heaves that skyward and leg side, there's a fielder there at long -on and she'll gobble that up!

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.4 and one is taken at last. Lovely loopy length ball at off stump, she steps out for the aerial drive and ends up skewing it off the thick outside edge. Simple catch in the covers for Verma and she takes it 90/115.3 knocks the top of middle! Loopy length ball at middle and leg, looks to swing that into the leg side but it spins past her swing and is past her 103/2Extras6 (lb 1, w 5)TOTAL133/2 (19.2 Overs, RR: 6.85 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-90 (Georgia Adams, 12.4 ov), 2-103 (Fran Wilson, 15.3 ov)
