- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR17.1 knuckle ball, Mandhana, one bent knee, swings it away to deep square leg and it's been taken. Mandhana won't get her fifty much to the delight of the Utilita crowd. 120/25.4 caught off a full toss. But that's actually clever from the bowler. She sees Scrivens leaving her crease and lobs it up well wide of her reach. Or at least intending to do so. Scrivens somehow catches up with the ball but is bent so out of shape she has no hope of getting any power into the shot. A flat-bat flap straight into covers hands. Bell and Corteen-Coleman have their own celebration ready to go, a kind of hippity-hop dance. 37/117.3 bowled her. Wong has two in this set. "Go well Issy" is the sign held up by a young fan up on the hotels and she's done pretty well here. When everyone is looking out for her knnuckle ball, she goes top pace and wrecks the stumps. Ghosh walks back with a brilliant half-century in conditions that weren't easy for run-scoring. Also she had to go for the shot here. This is the death overs. She needed to slog even if she ran the risk of getting out. 122/318.4 appeal for lbw and it's given. Bryce's efforts to shift across her crease to sweep doesn't work as Molineux fires it through. This is sent up for a DRS check. UltraEdge says no bat or glove. Ball-tracking says three reds. 127/4Extras9 (b 1, lb 1, w 7)TOTAL139/4 (20 Overs, RR: 6.95 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-37 (Grace Scrivens, 5.4 ov), 2-120 (Smriti Mandhana, 17.1 ov), 3-122 (Richa Ghosh, 17.3 ov), 4-127 (Kathryn Bryce, 18.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.2 an excellent catch by Villiers. Another length ball from Bryce. Lee backs away and pulls it towards deep midwicket. For a moment, it looked like clearing Villiers but she stretched and took it behind her body while controlling her momentum to ensure she stayed inside the boundary line 36/15.5 Looks like Bouchier has been run out at the non-striker's end. Yes, she is walking back. It was a length ball. Wolvaardt backed away and hit it back towards the bowler. Bryce went for the catch, stretching her right hand out. The ball brushed her fingers and ricocheted onto the stumps. Bouchier was outside her crease 36/216.1 a length ball at the stumps. Wolvaardt looks to go over deep midwicket but fails to clear the fielder 94/414.3 down the track and looks to launch it big. No connection with the bat and Ghosh breaks the wicket. But was Molineux back by then? We are going upstairs. And after a few replays, the TV umpire decides the bat was just in the air when the bails came off 87/316.4 full on the stumps. Knott goes for the sweep but gets a top edge towards short fine leg. A straightforward catch but Ballinger almost drops it. It slips through her hands but she uses her body to hold onto it 95/517.4 short of length down the leg side. Wong backs away and pulls it straight to short fine leg. Ballinger makes no mistake this time and takes it reverse cups in front of her face 99/6Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL112/6 (20 Overs, RR: 5.6 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-36 (Lizelle Lee, 5.2 ov), 2-36 (Maia Bouchier, 5.5 ov), 3-87 (Sophie Molineux, 14.3 ov), 4-94 (Laura Wolvaardt, 16.1 ov), 5-95 (Charli Knott, 16.4 ov), 6-99 (Issy Wong, 17.4 ov)
