- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.4 skied a mile up and taken! Loopy length ball in and around off. Voll hares down, trying to smash this into the sightscreen. Not quite to the pitch of the ball, though, owing to the dip Kerr gets, meaning that Voll has to reach out. Cannot generate any power and long on does the rest! 92/37.1 deceived completely and McCaughan has to go! Excellent bowling by Matthews. Slowed up on a length on middle and off. McCaughan charges down but the ball dips late, meaning she is nowhere near the pitch of the ball. Swishes across the line and pops a simple catch to Armitage at extra cover. MI London finally on the board! 49/17.3 Darted in on a length on leg. Voll dinks it to the edge of the ring in the mid wicket region. The call is for two and Kemp has to scramble to make it back. Looked pretty close, and MI London look quite confident too. And rightly so. Kemp, despite a lunge, is short of her ground and that is back-to-back run-outs for Kemp this season. Voll the partner on both occasions, and MI London have two in quick succession! 51/219.4 a bit of respite for Matthews right at the end, but the innings is not done yet! Banged half-way down. Looks like a seam-up ball and this whistles over Devine's head as she advances and swings herself off her feet. The keeper takes off the bails, but the wide has been called. A bruising captain's knock nevertheless by Devine! 171/4Extras6 (w 6)TOTAL177/4 (20 Overs, RR: 8.85 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-49 (Ella McCaughan, 7.1 ov), 2-51 (Freya Kemp, 7.3 ov), 3-92 (Georgia Voll, 12.4 ov), 4-171 (Sophie Devine, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.4 straight to deep square leg, and Potts has the last laugh! An intriguing match-up right at the beginning and it falls Potts' way. This is bashed in short on off. Matthews walks down and hacks it flat. Plenty of power on it but she could not have picked out deep square leg better either. Big moment in the game! 10/15.1 more success for Potts, and she is breaking the back of this batting unit! Hard length just outside off and this seems to skid through. Wyatt-Hodge has a hack at it but because she is late on the stroke, she can only jam it off the inside edge onto leg stump. Potts has three, and MI London in a world of trouble! 33/33.1 goes straight up, and Potts has two! Fullish outside off and shaping away a touch. Chathli advances, looking to go downtown. Cuts across it too much and only gets height on it. McCaughan settles under it at extra cover and makes no mistake! 17/26.2 Kerr perishes too! Rammed in short outside off, which is a riposte to the batter advancing. Kerr still tries to flat-bat it but the ball gets big on her. A tame chip to mid on in the end, and Voll does well to gobble up the chance. MI London four down, and this innings is only 32 balls old! 41/47.4 sharp grab at backward point, and Devine gets into the wicket-taking act too! Short, wide and there to be hit. Carey, though, does not keep it down. Nor does she try to clear the fielder in the ring fully. A half-hearted slice and Graham moves sharply to take it near her right shoulder. Half of the MI London side back in the shed now! 50/58.4 excellent by Wareham, and MI London keep crumbling! Back of a length on the stumps and this seems to stop in the surface. Armitage wants to push this down the ground but the lack of pace means she hits it aerially. Wareham darts to her right and snares the chance to pile further misery on MI London! 56/615.1 Henry bites the dust now! On a length in and around off. Henry has no option but to take it on but she slices across it way too much. No distance at all and her struggles come to an end. MI London on the brink now! 102/717.2 nearly a collision, but the catch is taken! No damage done too, thankfully. Hung up on a length outside off. A feeble swish across the line and the ball loops up off the outer half of the blade. Backward point and short third nearly bump into each other, but the former ensures the catch is completed! 114/916.2 dragged on! Flighted up full just outside off. Monaghan shuffles across and looks for the sweep. Gets a bit of glove on it and inadvertently sweeps it onto her stumps. Smale are delighted, and MI London are now eight down! 111/818.2 big lbw shout, and given! And that should be that! But hang on, Gregory has reviewed! Fizzed through on a back of a length on middle and leg. The ball grips and then spins to fizz past the outside edge. Impact is on the back leg. Height could save Gregory. No bat involved, and Ball Tracking has the ball clipping the top of middle and off. Umpire's Call, and MI London fall to their second convincing defeat! 117/10Extras8 (nb 1, w 7)TOTAL117 all out (18.2 Overs, RR: 6.35 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Hayley Matthews, 1.4 ov), 2-17 (Kira Chathli, 3.1 ov), 3-33 (Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 5.1 ov), 4-41 (Melie Kerr, 6.2 ov), 5-50 (Nicola Carey, 7.4 ov), 6-56 (Hollie Armitage, 8.4 ov), 7-102 (Chinelle Henry, 15.1 ov), 8-111 (Alice Monaghan, 16.2 ov), 9-114 (Alice Davidson-Richards, 17.2 ov), 10-117 (Danielle Gregory, 18.2 ov)
