- BATSMENRB4s6sSR6.3 good length ball outside the off stump. Villani charges and is beaten by the movement after pitching. She has been good today whenever she stepped down the track, but not this time. Healy is standing up to the stumps and completes the stumping in a flash. Good bowling and equally good keeping 23/17.1 good length ball pitching on the leg and middle. Bolton, on the backfoot, looks to glance it away and is beaten. She is struck on the pads and the umpire has no hesitation in giving her. Both the openers are back in the hut 26/28.2 good length ball outside the off stump. Sciver is looking to drive and gets the outside edge back to the keeper. Healy dives to her right and takes the catch 29/39.5 short ball outside the off stump. Banting had the entire field to herself, but chooses to pull it to Smith at midwicket. Poor awareness of the match situation as she could have played it anywhere on the field. The lack of runs and the pressure to up the run-rate is showing and the wicket is an indicator of the fact 41/414.1 good length ball on the off stump. Newton was moving quite a bit around the crease in the previous over. This ball too, she moves across and looks to flick it. She misses and the umpire raises the dreaded finger. On replays, it seems that the impact was outside the off stump 61/515 and that's the third wicket for Coyte. She looks to drive a ball pitched on the middle stump and is too early into the stroke. She misses and the off stump is pegged back 66/619 fuller ball outside the off stump. Brunt has no option but to look for runs as she lofts it to long-on where Gardner runs in and takes an easy catch 90/816 comes down the track in an attempt to get another boundary, but Burns it up to the task and she pitches it short. Ebsary spots it and is quick to rock back in an attempt to cut it. She misreads the bounce and the ball flies to the keeper, standing up, off the glove. That's a top catch by Healy 71/719.4 fuller ball outside the off stump. She slogs it to wide long-on where Gardner picks up and throws it to the bowler's end where King is short. Good fielding by Gardner and Burns throws it on the stumps. King is just short 94/920 Fuller ball on the leg stump. She looks to punch it to long-on and take a couple. The couple would've got them to the triple figures. It was not to be as Gardner lets go off another scorching throw and this time it's much closer to the stumps and Burns just has to flick her wrists downwards onto the stumps to get the run-out decision 99/9Extras11 (lb 2, nb 1, w 8)TOTAL99 all out (20 Overs, RR: 4.95)Fall of wickets: 1-23 (Elyse Villani, 6.3 ov), 2-26 (Nicole Bolton, 7.1 ov), 3-29 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 8.2 ov), 4-41 (Megan Banting, 9.5 ov), 5-61 (Thamsyn Newton, 14.1 ov), 6-66 (Heather Graham, 14.6 ov), 7-71 (Lauren Ebsary, 15.6 ov), 8-90 (Katherine Sciver-Brunt, 18.6 ov), 9-94 (Emma King, 19.4 ov), 10-99 (Emily Smith, 19.6 ov)

She is beaten by the turn and is too far down the pitch to get back into the crease.
