- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.3 pinned on the pads and given! Wow, Anya wins the battle of the England veterans. Beaumont is livid, with herself more than the decision, as Sue Redfern raises the finger 4/12.3 Huge swipe. Huge top-edge, steepler for the keeper but she clings on calmly enough. Two important early strikes for the Vipers 19/27.4 top-edged through to the keeper, and the third wicket falls! Rocks back on the cut, but beaten by some extra bounce outside off and a fine take too 47/38.5 middle stump out of the ground! Kelly aimed across the line as Smith speared it in from round the wicket, and paid the price for over-ambition. Big trouble now... 51/413.1 lofted in the air, and straight down the throat of long-off! Dean strikes with her first ball of the morning, and Blaze are not going down in a blaze of glory right now... 67/516.6 tried to give herself room, but too much room! A hint of turn on and around off stump, de Klerk attempted to cut away through point, but back goes her off stump. The only Blaze right now is a housefire 95/617.3 bowled her! An urgent thrash across the line, but Adams is bowling an off-stump-to-off-stump line, and sure enough, she hits the off stump, halfway up. 120 is looking deeply optimistic now 98/719.3 slower ball, very full length, Higham climbed through the line, found the thin edge, and a good low take from the keeper 110/8Extras10 (w 10)TOTAL114/8 (20 Overs, RR: 5.7)Did not bat: G BallingerFall of wickets: 1-4 (Tammy Beaumont, 0.3 ov), 2-19 (Sarah Bryce, 2.3 ov), 3-47 (Georgie Boyce, 7.4 ov), 4-51 (Kathryn Bryce, 8.5 ov), 5-67 (Sarah Glenn, 13.1 ov), 6-95 (Nadine de Klerk, 16.6 ov), 7-98 (Sophie Munro, 17.3 ov), 8-110 (Lucy Higham, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.5 one stroke too many! Bouchier goes for broke on the full length, misses out, and loses the top of leg! 67/110.4 attempts the pull but that one skids on... and Wyatt is given out lbw! Just back of a length, and the tournament's leading wicket-taker does the needful... but it's surely too late? 88/211.3 huge swipe, and McCaughan is stumped! A gallop down the pitch, making room to leg as she did so, but comprehensively beaten by the dip and off come the bails 94/3Extras1 (w 1)TOTAL118/3 (14.2 Overs, RR: 8.23)Fall of wickets: 1-67 (Maia Bouchier, 6.5 ov), 2-88 (Danni Wyatt, 10.4 ov), 3-94 (Ella McCaughan, 11.3 ov)
