- BATSMENRB4s6sSR12.1 length ball on fifth stump, charges and goes to heave getting an inside edge to short fine leg and sets off for a single. Harmanpreet was never interested though from the non-striker's end as this was going straight to the fielder and Bhatia is stranded halfway down the pitch. The throw from Meghana to the keeper is true and the bails are off with Bhatia six yards short. 84/30.4 Gardner kept on encouraging the cover drive and it finally comes off in the form of a head high catch on the ring to Dunkley! Fullish length ball floated up on seventh stump, Matthews slaps this firmly but can't keep the ball down and it's a straightforward catch. 1/110.6 yorker full on middle and leg stump, shuffles across and misses an awkward scoop before it comes off the pads to fine leg. LBW shout denied. Gujarat calls for a review. It was extremely full and she was hit fairly deep in the crease. Ball-tracking shows this smashing leg stump with three reds. Decision overturned. 75/219.4 superwoman cape being worn by Harleen Deol! Full on middle, Harmanpreet charges and heaves this to wide long-on. Deol covers 20 yards charging to her right and flings herself with a diving effort to latch onto this ball parallel to the ground at knee height before sticking the landing. 160/716.6 full and wide, slices a drive that swirls over backward. Garth tracks back from the edge of the ring and lunges to take a superb over the shoulder catch. 135/417.2 charges a low full toss at shin height on the stumps and punches this firmly straight back to the bowler at head height. Rana does a bunny hop reaching up in front of her face to take a simple catch. 136/518.4 full and heaved out to the boundary for a long single. They want to come back for a second and the relay from Deol over the stumps to to Sutherland at the bowler's end is true to get Kazi by three yards. 145/619.5 short and well outside leg, heaves a pull toward Dunkley at deep square leg, who tracks a few yards to her right and slides on one knee to steady herself before taking the catch at shin height. Third umpire is looking at replays of this which cast some doubt on this being taken cleanly but looks like more of an optical illusion than anything. Finally confirmed as out after a few minutes delay. 160/8Extras7 (b 5, lb 1, w 1)TOTAL162/8 (20 Overs, RR: 8.1)Did not bat: S IshaqueFall of wickets: 1-1 (Hayley Matthews, 0.4 ov), 2-75 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 10.6 ov), 3-84 (Yastika Bhatia, 12.1 ov), 4-135 (Amelia Kerr, 16.6 ov), 5-136 (Issy Wong, 17.2 ov), 6-145 (Humaira Kazi, 18.4 ov), 7-160 (Harmanpreet Kaur, 19.4 ov), 8-160 (Amanjot Kaur, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.1 good length ball darting in on middle stump, Dunkley goes back and defends down the wrong line. Big lbw shout. Awfully long wait by the umpire before eventually raising the finger. Dunkley takes the full 15 seconds before calling for a review. This one feels like it has umpire's call written all over it. She is hit on the knee roll playing back in her crease but is hopping on her toes. Indeed, ball-tracking shows this is shaving leg stump on umpire's call. The decision stays out. 0/15.2 full on leg stump, clears the front leg again and skies a slog straight to long-on. Kerr takes a very comfy catch three yards in from the rope at head height. 34/25.6 good length ball on fourth stump turns in and skids extremely low underneath a pull shot. It thuds into Sutherland on her knee with her pad exposed flexing for the shot, contact is in front of off and the lbw shout is upheld. Sutherland storms off without reviewing. That was stone dead, and a touch unlucky with the variable bounce which we haven't seen much if any of prior to that ball. 34/311.3 charges a fullish length ball on fifth stump, doesn't get to the pitch and skies a sliced drive toward long-off. Wong settles under this 10 yards inside the rope and swivels sideways to take this at chest height. 57/614.5 yorker on middle, awkward flick across the line misses and this is stone dead lbw. Rana waits some time before choosing to review this. It's clear she hasn't hit this. It's going to be a wasted review. Replays show she was struck on the toe in front of middle. 90 seconds of our lives we'll never get back on DRS. Ball-tracking has three reds lighting up ripping out the stumps. 85/716.3 length ball on fourth stump, Garth charges and shovels on the up toward Harmanpreet at mid-off. She lunges forward from the ring and takes a sharp shoe-top catch. 95/817.3 full outside leg stump, shuffles forward down the pitch then back to her crease to try to avoid a stumping all while playing an awkward sweep shot. Everything is out of sync and the ball pops up off the gloves to the keeper coming out from behind the stumps to take the catch in the area of forward short leg. 96/9Extras2 (w 2)TOTAL107/9 (20 Overs, RR: 5.35)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Sophia Dunkley, 0.1 ov), 2-34 (Sabbhineni Meghana, 5.2 ov), 3-34 (Annabel Sutherland, 5.6 ov), 4-48 (Harleen Deol, 8.6 ov), 5-48 (Ashleigh Gardner, 9.1 ov), 6-57 (Dayalan Hemalatha, 11.3 ov), 7-85 (Sneh Rana, 14.5 ov), 8-95 (Kim Garth, 16.3 ov), 9-96 (Tanuja Kanwar, 17.3 ov)
