- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.2 What a superb riposte! Just got carried away, she smartly pulled her length back and got it to spin away fractionally from middle, Bouchier stepped down the track and played down the wrong line, ball rattles the stumps as Smith wheels away in jubilation. 26/13.4 Another one bites the dust, Smith is on fire! Bit fuller on middle and off, she tries to smoke it out of the park over deep midwicket but hasn't got all of it. Sometimes too much aggression can backfire, credit to Smith for sticking to her guns and bowling tight at the stumps even though she leaked a few boundaries but kept coming back. Excellent bowling, very cagey 27/24.2 Oh dear! What is happening out there? Knott has to go! Back of a length just outside off, ball holds up in the surface, she went for the lofted drive and picks out mid-off who didn't have to move a muscle to gobble that up. Brave find themselves in a pickle. They need some rebuilding work! 27/36.2 Over the wicket, length and angling in from outside off, clipped off the pads to short midwicket and it's a brain fade moment, aimlessly sprints down the pitch and the single was never on, Kemp is short of her crease at non-striker's end, fantastic pick-up and a quick direct throw. Armitage with stellar piece of work, very agile and pounced on the run-out opportunity 36/49.2 Good length with a hint of spin outside off, Brave stick to their style and try to break the shackles, can't put pressure back on and spoons it to extra cover who takes the simplest of the catches. Kemp looks absolutely disconsolate after getting a start. Brave in dire straits, was batting well but couldn't carry on and give them a shot in the arm 47/516.5 Right into the blockhole at middle, blocked back to the bowler who ran forward after the follow-through and pings a sharp throw at striker's end, looks like nothing is working for Brave today, it's been a forgettable day so far, couple of run-outs, miscued shots, Tryon didn't anticipate that throw and was galloping, no dive 79/712.4 Round the wicket, bangs it on a hard length and it's zinging back at Dattani who tries to whack it towards midwicket and ends up making horrible mess of her stumps, the off-stump is disturbed and just when they were getting a semblance of control, another wicket falls down 59/618.2 How often have we seen that in this innings? Slower delivery angled into the pads, thumped to the midwicket sweeper and Southby pushed for the second, throw was bang on target, short of the crease and has to go 86/8Extras5 (lb 1, w 4)TOTAL100/8 (20 Overs, RR: 5 per 6 ball)Did not bat: MR Corteen-ColemanFall of wickets: 1-26 (Maia Bouchier, 3.2 ov), 2-27 (Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 3.4 ov), 3-27 (Charli Knott, 4.2 ov), 4-36 (Georgia Adams, 6.2 ov), 5-47 (Freya Kemp, 9.2 ov), 6-59 (Naomi Dattani, 12.4 ov), 7-79 (Chloe Tryon, 16.5 ov), 8-86 (Lauren Cheatle, 18.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.3 On a length at middle, shuffles across a touch and tries to heave it midwicket in the ring but is unable to find the necessary elevation and the fielder takes a gem diving to her right, Dattani with a fabulous work inside the ring 17/13.5 Bustling in and clatters the stumps with a jaffa right at middle stump, plays all around it, she gets that late inward seam movement from a length. What a miserly set! 18/212.2 Cries of catch and that's a superb catch by the captain again! Length ball curls back a wee bit and she launches it straight through the line but it didn't sound right, lapse of concentration right after the strategic break 61/410.2 Over the wicket, half-volley in her hitting arc and she tries to hit it out of the park, that went miles in the air as if it had defied gravity and then descended down quickly as Adams takes a phenomenal catch, eyes locked on the ball and snaffled safely at long-on region 47/319.3 Rip through the stumps! How can there be no twist? Lauren Bell responds with a pinpoint accurate yorker at middle, stumps are uprooted and the dreadful death rattle means Richards has to go back to the pavilion. Huge breakthrough but is it too little, too late? 97/715.2 What drama! What an unfortunate way to get out! That ball had so many twists like a mystery novel, touch fuller and swerves back into middle, attack and bashes it back towards Richards who got her fingers on it and it deflects straight back at stumps at non-striker's end, batter was outside her crease and is run-out. 77/516.4 Adams has the last laugh! Trying to waft it away, exposing her stumps, was a quicker one that curled back, she was way too early in her attempt to cut that one and the bails have come off 85/6Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL100/7 (20 Overs, RR: 5 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-17 (Hollie Armitage, 2.3 ov), 2-18 (Marie Kelly, 3.5 ov), 3-47 (Annabel Sutherland, 10.2 ov), 4-61 (Phoebe Litchfield, 12.2 ov), 5-77 (Bess Heath, 15.2 ov), 6-85 (Georgia Wareham, 16.4 ov), 7-97 (Alice Davidson-Richards, 19.3 ov)
