- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 Bowled her! And ADR's stint at the top is short-lived once more. Ecclestone bowls it on a length. Slightly fuller than previous ball. Davidson-Richard goes back once more to hit across the line. Misses it because of the skid and sees the furniture disturbed. Early strike for MSG 0/11.3 A second wicket for Ecclestone and both MIL openers are back in the hut! Another ball that lands on a length around off and middle. Once again a batter plays back to a delivery she should have come forward to. Matthews looks to block it from the crease, gets a thick inside edge back onto the stumps. Ecclestone opens the bowling for the first time in this season and takes two in her first spell of two continuous sets of five 1/29.3 A very good low catch at short third. Armitage looks to repeat the previous shot. This time the ball is much shorter. On a length around off. She switches and looks to play the reverse scoop. Finds Ballinger, who takes it safely in the ring 37/45.3 Huge appeal from Ghosh, Ballinger joins in. Inside edge? MSG are confident and they have asked for a review. Length ball slanting away from her outside off. Quite wide outside off actually. Kerr goes back to slash and Ghosh takes a very sharp catch. There is a spike on the Ultra-Edge and MSG have a third. A slight confusion because it seems there was a gap between bat and bowl at the time the spike came up. A very, very good, smooth catch from Ghosh 20/316.2 Taken at mid-off! Good leaping take from Ecclestone. She started coming forward but then adjusted by going back and timed her jump nicely. Full ball on leg, fingers run across the ball. Carey made room and looked to drive through the line, got cramped and got it off the outer-half 78/614.1 Timeout and the wicket. Slot ball and the shot was on. Chathli looked to launch a flick from in front of the stumps. Looked more for timing than power as the follow-through wasn't full. Easy catch for long-on 60/518.1 Skied to cover and that's a massive blow for London. Henry saw the width and fullness in length, looked to go over cover with a flat bat, ball seemed to bounce more than she expected. Lack of pace too, and that could cost London 10-15 runs 87/718.5 Is that out or a crowd catch? Lanning points her finger up and comes in for high-fives. Shortish outside off, Monaghan reached forward and was too early on the cut. Lobbed low to Lanning at cover. This couldn't be going any better for MSG 87/918.3 Direct hit at the non-striker's. Has Ecclestone effected another? Yes, Norris walks. Mid-off waited for the ball to come in, took it low and threw it like an arrow. Norris run out before she could dive. Full ball was slapped to cover 87/819.4 Pitched up outside off, driven straight to cover. Lanning gets a touch low and takes it above shoulder, falls back and rises with a smile and ball in her hands 92/10Extras7 (b 4, lb 1, w 2)TOTAL92 all out (19.4 Overs, RR: 4.64 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Alice Davidson-Richards, 0.2 ov), 2-1 (Hayley Matthews, 1.3 ov), 3-20 (Melie Kerr, 5.3 ov), 4-37 (Hollie Armitage, 9.3 ov), 5-60 (Kira Chathli, 14.1 ov), 6-78 (Nicola Carey, 16.2 ov), 7-87 (Chinelle Henry, 18.1 ov), 8-87 (Tara Norris, 18.3 ov), 9-87 (Alice Monaghan, 18.5 ov), 10-92 (Kirstie Gordon, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.5 Appeal for lbw. Not given. Looked too straight. London have to review, no? They do indeed. Slow-mo replay in and this looks out actually, if she's not hit it. Length ball on middle, straightened a bit to go under the sweep and hit high on the back leg. Knee was on the ground, so height not an issue. Nothing on Ultra-Edge, she's a goner. Yep, ball tracking confirms that'd smash leg. Lanning falls with Super Giants one hit away 89/410.3 Bad ball ends Mandhana's knock. Overpitched on leg, Mandhana clears the front leg and thrashes it with a vertical bat. Face closes and Armitage takes an easy catch above head at midwicket 73/111.3 Length on leg, pulled and 'catch that' is the call from the keeper. Deep midwicket takes it. Straight to her. Super Giants' looking to end it quick, costs a couple of wickets. Shouldn't be too consequential 77/211.4 That should be out. Oh, it's not lbw but bowled. Full ball on middle, Schofield presses forward and looks for a square flick. Plays around it, ball makes a bit of contact, likely with pad, and hits middle 77/3Extras2 (lb 1, w 1)TOTAL95/4 (14.2 Overs, RR: 6.59 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-73 (Smriti Mandhana, 10.3 ov), 2-77 (Richa Ghosh, 11.3 ov), 3-77 (Paige Scholfield, 11.4 ov), 4-89 (Meg Lanning, 13.5 ov)
