- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.2 Excellent sharp piece of fielding, takes a screamer off her own bowling! A genuine wicket-taker! Tight shortish length and it straightens at middle, she gets cramped and tries to bash it downtown but finds Sharma in the way and she takes a superb catch to her right! 56/111.3 Sharma has the last laugh! She's a genuine wicket-taker! On a length and frustrates her with the flight, ball turns towards her as she premeditates and lofts it down the ground, Ross takes a gem of a catch at long-on, charged in and timed her forward lunge to perfection, pocketing it low. Sharma gets the prized scalp! Didn't get enough power behind it 77/310.5 On a slightly fuller length and gets a little bit of turn across middle, takes a few steps down and larrups it straight to Cross at mid-off 72/213.5 Stumps shattered, what a sight! Through the gate from over the wicket, hard length and it skids on, nibbles in and beats her ambitious heave towards midwicket, Gibson is spot on and deadly accurate with her lines and lengths, cross-seam delivery gets better of her 89/415.2 Over the wicket, lands it full on off, wallops it downtown and hasn't got all of it, the fielder didn't have to move a muscle and was perfectly stationed there to gobbled it up 91/517.4 Slower and pitched up on off, slow through the air, gets tempted to go big down the ground and perishes in the process as she tried to tee but the bat turns, and gets the outer face of the bat, goes high in the sky and taken comfortably at short cover, she is absolutely ecstatic to take the catch, big smile on her face as she thought she is in trouble for a moment but pouched it comfortably in the end 99/618.5 Lots of flight and landed fuller, gets it to whizz back sharply as she tries to cut, inside-edge onto the pad and the keeper plucks it out of thin air, one-handed grab and she stumps her in a flash! Marvelous piece of wicket-keeping, they have been splendid in the field 104/719.5 Shimmies leg-side and she follows her up with a full incoming delivery, jags in markedly, pushes it into the vacant spaces at deep midwicket, tries to scamper back for a couple and she is not even in the picture.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.5 Stonehouse has the last laugh! Length ball on the stumps, this one straightens after hitting the deck. Smith stands tall inside her crease and tries to smoke this one over the midwicket area; she struck it beautifully but didn't get enough elevation to evade the infield and picks out Kerr at midwicket inside the ropes. Brilliant catch taken by the fielder there. 8/13.3 Oh dear me, Jonassen is well short of her crease! Good length ball on the stumps, taps it with soft hands to the left of Henry and sets off for a quick single. The bowler is well aware of the situation, rushes in to collect the ball and sends a quick throw at the keeper's end. A suicidal run-out and the Leeds lose their second wicket. 24/210.4 Bowled'em and Litchfield has to depart! Slower through the air ball on the stumps channel, backs away early and steps out of the crease to send this one downtown, misses the length and doesn't even bother to get back inside the crease. It was an arm ball and crashed onto the middle stump. 81/3Extras6 (lb 4, w 2)TOTAL109/3 (13.4 Overs, RR: 7.89 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Bryony Smith, 0.5 ov), 2-24 (Jess Jonassen, 3.3 ov), 3-81 (Phoebe Litchfield, 10.4 ov)
