    5.3 pokes fatally outside her eyeline! That's a huge moment in this contest, Mandhana was the source of Brave's limited momentum, but Sciver has got one to pop and stop on her, and a spliced edge loops into the hands of backward point! 32/3
    0.3 oh my, Wyatt has hacked a sweep straight to short backward square! Back to back ducks, as Smith skids another one through, a poor bit of shot selection, and now the cat's among the pigeons! 1/1
    1.4 chipped in the air to short cover! Attempted hack through the line, another poor option as she fails to get to the pitch, and flobbed into Villani's hands! Big breakthroughs and the Rockets are firing! 9/2
    11.2 more air on this one, and McGrath comes a cropper as she lofts to wide mid-off! Inside-out was the intention, but it was just a leading edge as a deep-set Munro swallowed the offering 66/4
    17.3 stunning low grab from Villani at mid-off! Pace off the ball as Brunt serves up the back-of-the-hander, and that's scooped up low to the turf as the fielder plunges forward 109/5
    19.5 another swing off a good length, but straight to Brunt at midwicket She turns to salute the crowd, so to speak, and that's the end of a vital cameo. This is on! 134/6

    7.3 tossed up, Smith misses a reverse-sweep... hits middle! Adams' lollipops do the trick for Brave, as they finally break this opening stand. Smith stepped across and exposed her poles in aiming a malevolent blow, but completely failed to connect 40/1
    8.1 strikes first ball! McGrath gets her Aussie team-mate, Villani scooping straight to short fine leg! Moved across and looked to ramp a full delivery, nowhere near enough on it and Adams stooped to take the catch above her bootlaces 42/2

    8.4 gets another, McGrath plucks the return catch! Nonchalant from the Aussie allrounder, who threw her hands up and the ball stuck - she didn't react at all, just looked over her shoulder to check it hadn't got through. Full ball, good connection from du Preez, but she chipped it too close to the bowler 45/3
    11.4 chipped to long-on, McGrath in action again! Kelly advanced and struck the ball firmly in the air, but in the direction of the fielder set back. Taken low down as she scampered in, and although the umpires want to check, the catch was clearly clean 62/4
    14.2 bowled 'er! Top of off stump... Floaty legbreak and it slides under the bat and then straightens down the line, with King aiming a big hack across the line. Wellington extends her lead at the top of the wicket-taking charts 84/5
    15.5 tip and run to mid-off, Brunt is slow to get going... and Strano's direct hit does for her! Tight lines from Shrusbsole and Rockets were getting desperate. Rolled nicely along the carpet for the pick up and throw, Brunt half a yard short as the stumps lit up 88/6
    17.1 fullish length and squeezed through midwicket, they have to push for two... but Freeborn isn't getting back at the bowler's end! Sciver needed to get back on strike, and Wyatt's throw left Bell with time to finish the job 102/7
