- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.1 And she outfoxed with a brute of a delivery! What a wonderful opening burst! Banged in short but with not much pace, lures her with the width and she attempts to upper-cut but has no oomph behind the shot, regulation run-of-the-mill catch at third man, perfect start for Leeds 0/14.2 Perfection personified! Pitch-perfect shortish nip-backer and too close too cut, such a crackerjack hitting the top of off and that's Picasso-esque! 26/32.5 Flips it on a shorter length, pulled her length back and curled it across off, shaping away, a nothing shot down the ground, too short for this shot, takes the top-edge and Kross pouches it very very comfortably with a smile on her face. Leeds will be mighty pleased with this start 9/29.3 Oh, that sounded like a six but isn't! Massive breakthrough goes without saying, hammered it leg-side and straight to the fielder stationed at deep midwicket, oh what did you do! Got the start but couldn't capitalize, strong slog sweep, reverse-cupped, didn't go through the shot fully with the requisite power to clear the ropes 55/419.2 need some boundaries, not enough runs on the board and they got just three deliveries after this for all the heavy lifting. That just died towards her, a snail-speed loopy fuller slowie on middle, she biffs it to midwicket, had to lunge at it, Lamb is well short of her ground at striker's end despite the full-length dive. An excellent knock in the cirumstances, would have been a lot worse had she not applied herself 105/915.5 Floats up from around the wicket, bit too full on leg, takes her on and picks out long-on! She is exceptional at this stage, tough to charge her late in the innings, not enough power and not underneath it fully to clear the rope, couldn't launch after a start, another timely breakthrough 89/517.3 Ballooned to the fielder running across mid-off, minimal timing, poor execution as she gets flummoxed by the slower one angled back into her at the stumps, losing their way, wickets continue to tumble 100/618.1 Over the wicket, beautifully tossed up and spinning towards middle, she tries to sweep it straightaway and it's a vociferous appeal for an lbw, not given by the on-field umpire and sent upstairs after a brief chart. Looks quite straight. Flat line on the ultra-edge as the ball moves all the way through to the pads. Looks very close, hitting just above the knee roll. Pitching in line, impact in line, and hitting the stumps high on leg-stump, excellent review, short stay for Sana, she will be livid with herself but she had to attack, no time to hang around however she is up against one of the best in the business, she is so sharp and doesn't give any room 101/718.5 Such an artist with the ball! Saw her springing down the track and bowled it short and wide, ball drifted away a touch and she gets stumped, regulation stumping, she wanted to hack it past point and the ball zipped away from the outside edge, great spell, a captain's delight 103/8Extras5 (lb 1, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL107/9 (20 Overs, RR: 5.35 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Davina Perrin, 1.1 ov), 2-9 (Alice Capsey, 2.5 ov), 3-26 (Tammy Beaumont, 4.2 ov), 4-55 (Ellyse Perry, 9.3 ov), 5-89 (Annerie Dercksen, 15.5 ov), 6-100 (Jemima Spence, 17.3 ov), 7-101 (Fatima Sana, 18.1 ov), 8-103 (Alana King, 18.5 ov), 9-105 (Emma Lamb, 19.2 ov)
