- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.1 Straight up in the air and taken! Potts is breathing fire with the ball! Hard length ball on middle-leg, tries to whip it away to the on-side area, mistimes it towards the right of square leg. Kemp tracks back and moves to her right side, settles underneath and completes the catch. 9/21.1 Soft dismissal! Length ball on around the fifth stump channel, Lee charges down the track and goes for the big heave across the line, miscues it to the widish mid-off area and Wareham tracks back to gobble it up. Lee departs for a duck! 1/119.1 Full and overpitched in the slot, gets underneath the line of the ball and tries to send it downtown, doesn't get quite hold of it and chips it towards long off. Wareham comes around and covers her ground, dives in and completes the catch 116/511.4 Caught at mid-off! A touch fuller length ball and Rodrigues attempts to loft it over the infield, moves across and gets inside the line of the ball, mistimes the lofted stroke straight to the mid-off fielder at the edge of the circle for a regulation catch. 58/315.4 Direct hit at the bowler's end and Molineux bites the dust! Slight fuller and pushes with soft hands t othe mid-off fielder, collects it cleanly and sends a bullet throw at the non-striker's end, hits the target and Molineux wasn't even in the scenario at that time! 82/4Extras13 (b 4, lb 4, w 5)TOTAL121/5 (20 Overs, RR: 6.05 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Lizelle Lee, 1.1 ov), 2-9 (Maia Bouchier, 3.1 ov), 3-58 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 11.4 ov), 4-82 (Sophie Molineux, 15.4 ov), 5-116 (Laura Wolvaardt, 19.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.2 Voll departs! Fuller length ball flighted on the stumps, gets down on one knee to play the slog sweep, gets the thickish leading edge and hits it towards square leg. Glenn moves to her left side and gobbles it up, takes a brilliant grab! 24/13.5 What just happened out there! Generously flighted fuller length ball, advanced towards the spinner to play off the front foot, got beaten by the extra bounce and had to hurry back to the crease. Lee fumbles at first while gathering the ball, but then managed to recover quickly and clipped the bails off just in time! 25/26.5 Kemp has holed out at long off! Looped up a fuller length ball around off, shimmies down the track and had to reach for the widish fuller length ball, miscues it to the long off fielder for a regulation catch in the end. 44/312.2 Bowled'em with a slower delivery! 53 mph delivery back of the hand on the stumps, plays the slog stroke way too early and gets the bottom edge and drags it onto the stumps. Massive smile on Bell's face. 70/58.3 Cleaned her up! Good length ball darted on middle-off, Prendergast plays off the front foot half-heartedly, misses the line and length, the ball crashes onto the stumps! 49/417.3 Length ball pitching well outside off, steps out of the crease to wallop this one over the infield, slices the knuckle ball to short third and Corteen-Coleman takes a well-judged running catch to her right side. 105/6Extras10 (w 10)TOTAL122/6 (20 Overs, RR: 6.1 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-24 (Georgia Voll, 3.2 ov), 2-25 (Ella McCaughan, 3.5 ov), 3-44 (Freya Kemp, 6.5 ov), 4-49 (Orla Prendergast, 8.3 ov), 5-70 (Georgia Wareham, 12.2 ov), 6-105 (Grace Thompson, 17.3 ov)
