- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 full on middle, heaves this toward midwicket but gets a top-edge that floats over midwicket and a simple catch taken by Holder after backpedaling five yards. 1/115.3 full on the borderline of fourth/off stump, goes for a big slog sweep and misses hitting Lewis on the back leg. Big lbw shout upheld. Lewis reviews this but the evidence is tilting strongly against her from the initial replays. Sure enough she was hit in line with off stump and the ball was smashing middle halfway up. 116/312.2 shin height full toss on the legs, really could've been whacked anywhere over the leg side but Prendergast goes against her natural instincts and tries to just flick this gently which results in a leading edge that floats softly to extra cover on the ring. An underwhelming end to a knock that was overwhelming the West Indies bowlers. 91/218.6 full toss at thigh height, Richardson charges this and flubs a slog tamely back to Matthews at rib height taken reaching just outside her body length to the left. It came back at a gentle pace. Simple catch. 133/715.6 full on the legs, Little tries to play a release shot high over midwicket but flails and misses. The ball caroms off the pads and goes back into the stumps. 116/417.1 charges a full ball flighted on fourth stump, Delany miscues a drive trying to heave over mid-on and instead splices this to Henry at mid-off, who takes a simple catch at chest height on the ring. 127/517.3 full on off, charges and splices a drive trying to clear mid-off but it floats to extra cover where a catch is taken sliding on the knees moving left. 127/619.6 length ball on sixth stump, swing and a miss. They try to steal a bye but the keeper charges forward trying to win a footrace to the stumps with the non-striker. She'd have gotten there in the end well ahead of Waldron but underhands the ball into the stumps anyway from three yards out and connects to deny the run. 137/919.5 length ball on middle, heaves this over the bowler but Henry tracks back from the ring at mid-on to take a sharp catch while jogging in stride running 15 yards back from the ring claiming the catch at chest height while her feet became slightly tangled on the nailed in advertising mats behind the bowlers run-ups. She kept her balance well in the end. 137/8Extras15 (b 2, lb 5, nb 3, w 5)TOTAL137/9 (20 Overs, RR: 6.85)Did not bat: J MaguireFall of wickets: 1-1 (Amy Hunter, 1.3 ov), 2-91 (Orla Prendergast, 12.2 ov), 3-116 (Gaby Lewis, 15.3 ov), 4-116 (Louise Little, 15.6 ov), 5-127 (Laura Delany, 17.1 ov), 6-127 (Arlene Kelly, 17.3 ov), 7-133 (Eimear Richardson, 18.6 ov), 8-137 (Leah Paul, 19.5 ov), 9-137 (Mary Waldron, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.5 horrendous mixup! Hunter finally atones for her earlier errors at backward point! Short and wide, cuts this to Hunter on ring fielder on one bounce. Matthews called for a run immediately at the non-strikers end and Williams was caught off guard ball-watching. Hunter calmly fields on one bounce and throws an equally calm one bounce relay to the bowler. It's not accurate and pulls Paul three yards away from the stumps but Williams had basically given up and Paul has plenty of time to run back to the stumps and take the bails off with ball in hand while Williams is still several yards short. 28/18.3 back of a length beating an attempted back foot flick nailing Campbelle on middle stump. Big lbw shout upheld. After a chat, Campbelle goes for the review. It was not missing the stumps laterally. Only doubt was whether or not it was going over the top. She was hit high on the back leg but the ball didn't have far to travel. Ball-tracking shows three reds with the ball taking out a healthy chunk of the top of middle stump. 46/217.5 length ball on fifth stump, slapped to Delany at neck height on the ring at extra cover. Henry survives a pair of lives, the first of them on 23 before another in this over. But Delany holds onto the simplest of chances floating gently to her on the ring. It was not a great ball by any stretch, but Paul lucks out. 120/319.3 chaos! Gajnabi charges a full ball on middle, flicks this straight to short midwicket... and yet another misfield opens the door for an easy single. But for some bizarre reason Matthews wants a second run instead of wanting to keep the strike. Lewis charges in from long-on and fires a one-bounce relay to Waldron behind the stumps who takes the bails off with Gajnabi 10 yards short. Matthews wanted two the whole way there. I'm not sure why. Gajnabi was fully prepared to settle for a single so Matthews could have the strike but the captain was pushing for two all the way. 135/4Extras2 (lb 1, w 1)TOTAL140/4 (19.5 Overs, RR: 7.05)Fall of wickets: 1-28 (Rashada Williams, 5.5 ov), 2-46 (Shemaine Campbelle, 8.3 ov), 3-120 (Chinelle Henry, 17.5 ov), 4-135 (Shabika Gajnabi, 19.3 ov)
