    10.3 Takes the bait and holes out to long-off! Lots of revs on the ball, touch fuller and spinning across, mows it downtown and straight to the fielder, reverse cups it with ease, not a lot of power and elevation, rain delay often causes lapse of concentration, players have to restart 91/2
    7.3 Gibson has the last laugh, just couldn't elevate it past Cross at mid-off, tried to get underneath and it was a faster delivery and shorter outside off, she tries to larrup it over the fielder, hit her a bit high on the bat and didn't have enough power 67/1
    11.2 Looped in on a fuller length and stumsp-to-stumps, tries an adventurous reverse sweep and gets hit low on the pad, that looks plumb lbw, given by the umpire without any hesitation, they are trying to up the ante, continue with the momentum but have rocked back by two quick wickets 92/3
    17.4 Wrecks the stumps with a pitch-perfect nip backer, such an artist with the ball! Back of the cross-seam pearler and Kapp crouched to tonk it big down the ground, misses the line and the late movement, ends up making a mess of her stumps, excellent delivery, follows up with a fiery celebration 120/5
    13.4 Fires it touch fuller and it slides in at middle, she springs down the track and Sutherland takes a magnificent running catch at long-on; bat turned as she looked to big down the ground, Sharma among the wickets, feel like she has been introduced a touch late 105/4

    18.2 Charges and she cramps her for room, drags it away to midwicket inside the ring, think she made her ground by a whisker, no she hasn't, nothing past the crease as we see the zoom in angle, throw was in front of the stumps, she had to outstretch her hands and then get rid of the bails quickly, excellent keeping and Dean tried her best too with a full-length dive, almost made it back 124/6
    18.4 Shorter length ball slanting in from outside off, comes down the pitch and tries to heave it over long-on, hasn't got all of it, wickets continue to tumble, never easy to dominate Sharma who is so adept and accurate with her buffet of variations, watches the feet movement very quickly and can adjust her line and length accordingly, capitulation continues after the rain break 126/7

    8.1 Huge appeal for an lbw and the umpire raises the dreaded finger, once again, the same template, mayhem continues. Quicker, skiddier, length ball drifted back at middle, tries to get low and pull it away with a sweep, misses it and it's stone dead 59/3
    6.5 And she loses her shape while pulling it to deep midwicket, shorter and getting big on her, simple catch for the fielder, fielder didn't have to move a muscle to gobble it up; exactly what London need to halt the progress 57/1
    7.5 Fuller in length and swirling into middle and leg, just a casual nonchalant whip and it goes straight to the fielder at deep backward square or nearby, lovely running catch to her right, starts have been blazing from both sides but losing wickets in cluster has been a common theme of this match; this is what will make things interesting from a netral perspective, the ball didn't deserve a wicket though, it was a leg-side half-volley 59/2

    15.4 Oh, what an anticlimactic end to the innings! The pendulum swings again, she makes room to go enormous here and miscues the skier, taken at long-on Harris covers a lot of ground charging in from the rope and gobbling it up gleefully, it was a slower one, fuller as well, and she lifted high in the air, she toe-ended it 107/4
    18.2 Flips it on a length and gives room, she gets underneath and sends it for a trip into the sky and long-off just takes one step in and caught it brilliantly, Harris gives a thumbs up, excellent outfielder, what a crucial strike, timely breakthrough, but Sutherland is still out there, she holds the key, doesn't have a stiff task like before in the last game against Brave. This is not daunting 123/5
