8:53pm Superb bowling performance from Warriorz, who used just the one over of pace. All spin throughout and you'd imagine they have done more than enough. Giants once again struggled to force the pace, epitomised via the struggles of Deol. The power never really came through in the innings and they finish a tad below par, even though they had wickets in hand. Only Litchfield and Gardner seemed to have gauged the surface well but it was not enough. Ecclestone the pick of the bowlers while Athapaththu was splendid, too, bowling in the powerplay as well as the death.

Sophie Ecclestone: "I feel like I used my pace very well. Varied it up and picked up a few wickets. We don't have a complete all-round performance yet. Beth plays really well, and nice to get one up. Always a bit scared of running-out off my bowling. Some balls have spun, some have skidded on. Taking pace off worked for me."

Don't go away, do stick around for the chase, that will get underway shortly

Ecclestone to Hemalatha, OUT, Direct hit and it is curtains for Litchfield! Superb from Thakor in the field. Gets quickly from cover to her left, collects the ball and nails the direct hit at the striker's end. Hemalatha pushed a tossed up ball on off towards the off side and set off with Litchfield responding. Even a full-stretched dive is not enough
