- BATSMENRB4s6sSR10.4 there's the breakthrough! Nitschke gives Roy the charge, doesn't quite get to the pitch, and Dhar at mid-off swoops low to gather. 75/20.4 there's her wicket! On the pads, Villani tried to paddle it round the corner, but under-edged into the crease and onto her leg stump 1/115.2 that, on the other hand, is out. A wild yahoo, beaten in the flight and it turned as well. An easy stumping and that's the end of a fine innings 103/3Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL123/3 (18.5 Overs, RR: 6.53)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Elyse Villani, 0.4 ov), 2-75 (Shelley Nitschke, 10.4 ov), 3-103 (Alex Blackwell, 15.2 ov)
