- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.5 length ball on middle at 63 mph, tries to shovel this over mid-on but gets this more off the toe of the bat and pops it up straight to the fielder on the ring for a very simple catch. 15/16.5 flighted very full on middle and off, Matthews misses a sweep, huge lbw appeal upheld. About as stone dead as it gets. Redmayne wisely talks Matthews out of wasting a review and off the field goes Matthews. She was hit in front of middle and was probably taking out middle and leg halfway up. 45/213.3 Knight slides this on a bit flatter on the stumps, Redmayne goes back to cut but is hustled a touch and is late on the cut, the ball keeps a touch low too as it skids on and beats the attempted shot. 71/67.1 And strikes first ball! Short and wide, Luff chases after it trying to run it off an open face for a cheeky single to third man to get off the mark but gets it too fine and a thin edge is well held by the keeper Beaumont standing up to the stumps for a golden duck. 45/38.5 full on off, punches this in the air trying to clear Munro at long-on but doesn't get the distance and a simple catch is taken three yards inside the rope at chest height. 50/49.2 good length ball on middle, Cleary tries the same shot and this time pops it up gently to midwicket fielding well inside the ring for a very easy catch taken at knee height stretching forward. 50/517.2 charges and is beaten by a quicker ball flat on middle, Hennessy continues with a heave across the line but misses and is bowled. 83/816.1 flighted full on middle, tempted into a big sweep and top edges this to deep midwicket. Easy catch taken 10 yards in from the ring by Gibson at head height looking into the sun. 78/718.4 length ball heaved to wide long-on, fielder five yards inside the ring takes a catch reaching across her body to the right. 91/9Extras10 (b 4, lb 4, w 2)TOTAL95/9 (20 Overs, RR: 4.75 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-15 (Bryony Smith, 1.5 ov), 2-45 (Hayley Matthews, 6.5 ov), 3-45 (Sophie Luff, 7.1 ov), 4-50 (Alice Macleod, 8.5 ov), 5-50 (Piepa Cleary, 9.2 ov), 6-71 (Georgia Redmayne, 13.3 ov), 7-78 (Katie George, 16.1 ov), 8-83 (Georgia Hennessy, 17.2 ov), 9-91 (Alex Griffiths, 18.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.3 knocks leg stump! Short of a length and skiddy as it comes in off the surface. Looks for the pull but it wasn't short enough, and she misses 23/22.2 swung straight to midwicket! Lovely bowling against a team desperate for boundaries. Slow, dipping, very wide outside off. Tryon steps out and is forced to reach with the slog. She can't get it over the infield 12/14.5 taken at mid-on! Mathews does it again. Slows it right down, invites the batter to create all the power. Dottin gets deep in the crease to this rising length ball and can only end up slicing it as she looks to pummel it 36/3Extras4 (b 1, lb 3)TOTAL96/3 (11.3 Overs, RR: 8.27 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Chloe Tryon, 2.2 ov), 2-23 (Tammy Beaumont, 3.3 ov), 3-36 (Deandra Dottin, 4.5 ov)
