- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.4 leading edge... and taken by mid-on. Capsey moved a few steps to her left, and grabbed the ball with a reverse cup. Sana went with a short length this time, and bowled on the stumps. Harris went flicking, but may have played too early. The ball ballooned up for a simple catch 6/18.4 got her!! King has Jones dismissed rather awkwardly. The ball holds on the pitch, and Jones falls. King bowled this short outside off, and the ball turned away while also jumping off the surface. Jones went to cut, but the ball popped up off the top edge for cover to complete a comfortable catch 50/213.3 End of Kelly's struggle at Lord's today! Length ball on middle, spinning into leg. She opts for the reverse hit. Spoons it to backward point for a dolly. A simple one for Sana, who has now been part of each of the first three wickets today 75/317.2 A King at Lord's! Pegs leg back to bowl Dean around her legs. Tossed up on middle and leg. Dean gets inside the line but then opts to play the reverse sweep. She misses. The ball actually lands outside the line of leg and spins back in to peg that stick back 100/4Extras7 (lb 3, w 4)TOTAL140/4 (20 Overs, RR: 7 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Grace Harris, 1.4 ov), 2-50 (Amy Jones, 8.4 ov), 3-75 (Marie Kelly, 13.3 ov), 4-100 (Charlie Dean, 17.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.4 Perrin falls!! Her slow innings ends. The fielder at long-off is well inside the field of play, and doesn't have to move a step to catch this. Perrin stepped down the pitch and made room, and looked to loft, but couldn't clear the fielder 47/32.2 the keeper is confident for a caught-behind chance, but Kapp not so much. It's not given... and Spirit review. There doesn't seem to be an outside edge on first look. But wait, there's a reason why I'm not an umpire. UltraEdge does show a spike, so Spence is gone. Jones does well to rise and take it close to the off stump, as Spence half-jabbed at this short-of-a-length ball just outside off with an angled bat 10/16.2 brilliant catch at the edge of the deep-midwicket boundary. George tumbles to her, but manages not to touch the boundary cushion with her right foot. But it was hit well, to be fair. Perry hoicked at this fullish ball around off, and hit that powerfully. But the longer boundary came into play 29/219.1 Deception of the highest order! A loopy legcutter on middle and leg, and on a length. Almost like a legspinner with a longer run-up. Lamb goes for the pull but she is through her shot before the ball arrives. Spins in a touch to disturb the woodwork 102/711.2 Juicy full toss, catching practice in the deep! Phoenix continue to slide. It was there for the hitting. Capsey is never in control of her heave across the line. Finds deep square leg running to her left. Wonder if it is the shoulder. Either case, a very good take from Higham in the deep. And Capsey trudges off 58/412.4 Superb take from Jones and that's gone! Another feather of an outside edge. This one was more audible. Rainey pitches it up outside off. A hint of movement away. Dercksen goes for the drive and only nicks it behind 62/515.2 Huge appeal for caught behind. The umpire stays unmoved and Dean signals the 'T'! Beaumont starts walking. Short and sprayed down leg. Beaumont gets down to pull but fails to do it. Jones gathers it well down leg. A slight sound was audible, and it is indeed another feather of a bottom edge. Three in this innings and a very good take by Jones 79/619.5 Plumb in front! Quicker length ball slanting in on middle. King misses her heave across the line and is a dead duck. A massive 33-run win for Spirit 108/8Extras4 (w 4)TOTAL108/8 (20 Overs, RR: 5.4 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Jemima Spence, 2.2 ov), 2-29 (Ellyse Perry, 6.2 ov), 3-47 (Davina Perrin, 9.4 ov), 4-58 (Alice Capsey, 11.2 ov), 5-62 (Annerie Dercksen, 12.4 ov), 6-79 (Tammy Beaumont, 15.2 ov), 7-102 (Emma Lamb, 19.1 ov), 8-108 (Alana King, 19.5 ov)
