- BATSMENRB4s6sSR9.2 that's a terrible ball to get out to.Joseph bangs in a short ball halfway down the pitch. Winfield rocks back and pulls powerfully from outside off but the lack of pace on the delivery works in the favour of the bowler this time.Winfield musters all the power she can and makes pretty good connection, too. But she picks out the only fielder in the deep in the leg side, hits it straight into the hands of the deep midwicket fielder. First international wicket for Joseph 47/121.1 oh gosh. Beaumont has thrown it away. Loopy legspin from Fletcher, Beaumont gets down and tries to paddle a filthy full toss to fine leg, but hits the ball into her helmet. The ball subsequently lobs well into the air, allowing Aguilliera a chance to move a few steps to take the catch. Good innings, but a lot more was on offer. 91/310.1 that's a poor shot. Full, wide outside off and Taylor slashes hard outside off, makes an ill-advised attempt at reaching out for it and sends a thick edge flying the way of the first slip fielder. Hayley Mathews does well adjusting to the awkward height it comes on at and snaffles it with relative ease. The dangerous Sarah Taylor is gone 54/243.3 oh, what a beauty from Matthews! That is an unplayable ball, has turned a mile. Pitches outside off and Knight swipes across the line, the ball spins in sharply to go through bat and pad and crash into middle 172/721.3 another one. Fletcher strikes again. Two in three. Legspin is conquering the world. Fletcher gets the massive wicket of Nat Sciver, one of England's best. Tossed up generously on leg, down leg, Sciver plays all around it, trying to clip through midwicket. The ball spins and hits off and middle. A legspinner's dream ball 91/426 a big appeal is quickly struck down. But Taylor chooses to review. Has to be a strategic decision from Stafanie. It was flat down leg, Wilson missed her sweep, the ball lobbed up off the body towards the keeper, who collected cleanly. Actually, wait, there seems to be a deflection from the bottom of the bat. Yes, she has. Hits the toe of the bat, then onto the body and then another lob to the keeper. Fletcher wreaking havoc. 105/536.4 too easy for the keeper. This is beautifully bowled by Anisa Mohammed. Bowls it on a length, makes sure not to give it too much flight. Brunt blindly charges down the track and swipes across the line, ends up letting the ball go between bat and pad.The keeper completes a straightforward stumping 141/6Extras26 (lb 2, w 24)TOTAL220/7 (50 Overs, RR: 4.4)Fall of wickets: 1-47 (Lauren Winfield-Hill, 9.2 ov), 2-54 (Sarah Taylor, 10.1 ov), 3-91 (Tammy Beaumont, 21.1 ov), 4-91 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 21.3 ov), 5-105 (Fran Wilson, 25.6 ov), 6-141 (Katherine Sciver-Brunt, 36.4 ov), 7-172 (Heather Knight, 43.3 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR23.3 appeal for lbw and given. Matthews goes for the review straightaway. Seemed like it would head down leg. Flighted and sliding down leg, she was perhaps deceived by the angle as she gets down to sweep. But the ball straightens sharply after pitching to hit her in front of middle and leg. This could be gone unless it has pitched outside leg. It hasn't. Ball-tracking shows it would have hit middle and leg. Ends up being a waste of a review 64/39.4 as expected, a run-out ends the stand. Good length outside off, steered towards backward point where the fielder is quick on it. A quick throw to the keeper's end. There is absolutely no run there. Kycia responded immediately but was still short by a few metres, that's how bad the judgment of that run was. 34/112.3 given, by umpire Anil Chaudhary. Taylor chooses not to review. Was that sliding down? May have been. Struck her in front of middle, but could it have been going down? Such a big wicket that. It was a genuine offbreak that turned just enough. And with the pitch taking so much turn, was it a good non-review? Missing the stumps, says HawkEye. Thought as much. Not good from Matthews. 37/231.1 in the air and a great running catch at deep backward square leg. This wicket belongs to the fielder. Nothing great about the ball. Short and Nation swivels around, gets on top of the bounce and finds the middle on the pull. Beaumont runs to her right and gets down to her front, right behind it to snaffle it. Judged to perfection 89/526.5 this time it's plumb. No questions about impact or height. Gets down for a sweep from outside off and the ball spins in to beat the bat and hit her on the pad. Right in front of middle and off. Looked plumb and the umpire needed little time for that one 73/431.3 plumb. Looked out right away. Tries to flick across the line and gets hit in front. Misreads the angle, does not come into her as much as she thought. It is straight and comes on with the arm to hit her plumb in front 90/635.2 given! No reviews left. Fletcher was struggling against the straight ball. Sciver had intentionally been bowling straight, and Fletcher plants her front foot, far too forward. And the ball hits the pad in front of leg stump. Missing leg, says HawkEye 99/736.4 that looked plumb-er than the previous one. Full and straight from around the wicket, the batsman missed her flick and is struck right in front. No, says umpire Chaudhary. Heather Knight asks for the review. Won't be surprised if this is overturned. No bat. All reds. And Peters is done for. To be fair, that was a terrible decision. Looked plumb 100/849 fuller ball, sliding on leg, misses the flick and hits her on the pad. Cross-seamer from Shrubsole. Seemed like it may head down leg but Anil Chaudhary thinks it's out 128/9Extras15 (lb 7, nb 1, w 7)TOTAL128/9 (50 Overs, RR: 2.56)Fall of wickets: 1-34 (Kycia Knight, 9.4 ov), 2-37 (Stafanie Taylor, 12.3 ov), 3-64 (Hayley Matthews, 23.3 ov), 4-73 (Deandra Dottin, 26.5 ov), 5-89 (Chedean Nation, 31.1 ov), 6-90 (Merissa Aguilleira, 31.3 ov), 7-99 (Afy Fletcher, 35.2 ov), 8-100 (Akeira Peters, 36.4 ov), 9-128 (Anisa Mohammed, 48.6 ov)
