- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.5 good length ball flighted on the stumps line, walks forward and plays off the front foot, a hint of spin and strikes the front pad of Voll. Massive appeal and the finger goes up straightaway! Voll opts to review it after a quick chat with Kemp. Flat line as the ball passes the bat, confirmed by the Ultra Edge. Ball tracking is coming up now. Pitching in line, impact is in line and hitting the middle stump. That's plumb and Sharma finds the breakthrough! 51/21.2 Looks close and given! Good length ball shapes back in just enough to deceive Bryce as she shuffles across and walks forward to negate it to the on-side. The batter plays down the wrong line and gets pinged on the front pad in front of the stumps. Doesn't even bother to review it, gives a fist bump to Voll and trudges back to the dugout. 9/110.3 Litchfield takes a brilliant catch! Floated a fuller length ball and Wareham gets down on one knee to play the slog sweep, struck it hard and flat to the left of deep midwicket. Litchfield rushes to her left side, covers her ground and dives fully stretched to gobble it up. 61/311.1 Bowled her with a peach! Generously flighted a good length ball on middle-leg and turns away sharply, beaten her all ends up as Prendergast tries to defend off the front foot, plays down the wrong line and the ball crashes onto the off stump 61/413.2 Sharma strikes! Back of a length ball hung up in the air on middle stump line and turns in on the pads. Graham tries to parry it down with the spin, fails to keep it down and chips a dipping catch to short midwicket. Cross dives in front and pouches it nicely. 70/514.2 Miscommunication in the middle and Thompson has to depart! Pace off fuller length ball on the leg stump, plays across the line and inside edges to short fine leg. Thompson was watching the ball, unaware that Kemp was already charging down to the keeper's end. Left with no choice, Thompson had to commit to the impossible run. She sacrificed her wicket with a full-stretch dive, but was still caught short of her crease. 73/618.1 Clipped the leg stump! Slower through the air ball on the stumps with a hint of turn, steps out of the crease to flick it away across the line, fails to connect and the ball brushes off the inner thigh pad and rattles the leg stump. 108/719.4 Yorker ball on the off stump line, tries to play the lap scoop and gloves it to the keeper behind the stumps. Southby was already midway for the single; Kemp refused and left her stranded in the middle. This time Sutherland didn't make any more mistakes, collected the ball from the keeper and completed the run-out at the bowler's end. 119/8Extras7 (lb 1, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL121/8 (20 Overs, RR: 6.05 per 6 ball)Did not bat: G PottsFall of wickets: 1-9 (Sarah Bryce, 1.2 ov), 2-51 (Georgia Voll, 7.5 ov), 3-61 (Georgia Wareham, 10.3 ov), 4-61 (Orla Prendergast, 11.1 ov), 5-70 (Heather Graham, 13.2 ov), 6-73 (Grace Thompson, 14.2 ov), 7-108 (Niamh Holland, 18.1 ov), 8-119 (Rhianna Southby, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.3 Thompson takes a stunner! Fuller length ball around the off stump line, gets underneath the line of the ball and tries to heave it away, toe-ends the ball and chips it wide of mid-on. Thompson moves to her right side and leaps in the air, pouches it and holds onto it in the end. What a catch! 0/110.2 Soft dismissal! Length ball on the stumps that goes straight on. She steps out of her crease trying to whack it over mid-off, but ends up playing a nothing shot as she attempts to work it across the line. Instead, she chips it straight to mid-off for a simple catch. 91/36.4 Clean bowled and Smale is pumped up! Arm ball on a length on middle-leg stump, shuffles across early to play the paddle sweep, fails to get inside the line of the ball and misses the straight delivery, getting bowled out in the process. Finally, some space to breathe for the Welsh Fire bowlers. 55/212.4 Smale strikes! Bowls a juicy, full toss right in the hitting arc of Sutherland. Full swing of the bat but doesn't generate enough power or elevation there, picks out the deep midwicket fielder who was stationed near the ropes. 107/4Extras6 (lb 2, w 4)TOTAL122/4 (14.4 Overs, RR: 8.24 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Bryony Smith, 0.3 ov), 2-55 (Lauren Winfield-Hill, 6.4 ov), 3-91 (Phoebe Litchfield, 10.2 ov), 4-107 (Annabel Sutherland, 12.4 ov)
