- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.4 appeal for stumping. Winfield-Hill is absolutely certain and the umpire sends Lee on her way. Outstanding bowling from Baker, looping the ball up on middle and off, drawing Lee just that inch or so out of her crease whether she knows it or not. Then once the legbreak grips and turns past her flailing drive, it's all Winfield-Hill. Such quick hands. 41/110.3 gooone. That's Deepti's 13th wicket of the season, she's joint-top now. Bouchier makes room. The response from the bowler is to go slow. And keep the line wide(ish). Suddenly the batter has to reach out for the ball. Wait for it too. That takes power away and the shot barely carries to where mid-on might have been. Sutherland takes a fine running catch coming in from the boundary 56/39.2 bowler her. Cross holds her nerve even as she's faced with the batter doing something different. Wolvaardt made room to open up the off side, her strong side. She looks to lace the length ball through extra cover but in the end, she makes no contact and loses her stumps 54/216.2 has she swept it onto her stumps? Nope. That's just Baker seeing an opportunity as Knott now moves outside off stump to try and open up scoring areas. The legspinner loops it up, gets it to dip and sneak behind the batter to hit her stumps 89/419.1 slugs it over the top and caught at deep midwicket. Length ball, there to be hit, just didn't get enough power on it and Litchfield takes a simple catch 108/519.2 slower ball. Goes straight up. Taken by short fine with keeper watching on. Dattani looks for the slog into the leg side but the lack of pace does her in. Winfield-Hill aborted her run to take the catch allowing Smith to take the catch 108/619.5 steps over to the off side to pull the shortish delivery over to deep midwicket. They run two on the throw but don't get there 114/7Extras3 (nb 3)TOTAL114/7 (20 Overs, RR: 5.7 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-41 (Lizelle Lee, 6.4 ov), 2-54 (Laura Wolvaardt, 9.2 ov), 3-56 (Maia Bouchier, 10.3 ov), 4-89 (Charli Knott, 16.2 ov), 5-108 (Jodi Grewcock, 19.1 ov), 6-108 (Naomi Dattani, 19.2 ov), 7-114 (Issy Wong, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.1 Edge, taken! Bell strikes in the powerplay, her first in this edition! Very much a height-based wicket this. Bell bangs it in short and gets extra bounce. Smith clears the front leg and looks to pull from just outside edge; thin, loud edge to the keeper. Bell's all smiles 12/13.2 Wong outskills Litchfield, leaps and gets swarmed by her team-mates! Litchfield danced down despite Lee coming up to the stumps, looked to pull the shortish ball from leg stump. Couldn't make enough room, wasn't helped by the lack of pace and bounce off the pitch. May have come back in off the pitch a bit. Swished air and saw leg stump rattled as she turned back. Would've been stumped even if it'd missed. Game well and truly on! 13/215.2 That's one of the two wickets mentioned! A bit like Litchfield, a shortish ball beats Winfield-Hill's pull and hits the stumps. Winfield-Hill stayed in the crease and made room, got done by the lack of bounce, she expected true bounce, missed the ball and got leg stump rattled. 95/49.2 Easy catch this time, extra cover ran right and leapt up to take a high catch. Molinuex was right under it, so it was a case of adding a bit of mayo as she leapt and fell into the ground. Safe enough though. Shorish ball outside off, may have stuck in the pitch and straightened a touch. Sutherland stood leg side of the ball and looked to pull it through midwicket. Wanted a single, so didn't power it too much, top edged it. Brave keep fighting 54/315.3 Two in two, Vinod might have been on it! Reviewed, lbw looks close! Length ball on middle, Gibson stayed in front of leg stump - slightly leg side of the ball - so she couldn't cover the line and missed the flick square, on the up, and got hit on the back leg. Hawk-Eye returns umpire's call clipping leg, WONG ON A HAT-TRICK! 95/5Extras18 (b 8, lb 2, w 8)TOTAL116/5 (17.4 Overs, RR: 6.51 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Bryony Smith, 2.1 ov), 2-13 (Phoebe Litchfield, 3.2 ov), 3-54 (Annabel Sutherland, 9.2 ov), 4-95 (Lauren Winfield-Hill, 15.2 ov), 5-95 (Dani Gibson, 15.3 ov)
