- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.1 caught at cover! Villani's torture ends. This was full outside off, not quite a half-volley, she tried to drive on the up but her weight was back and she mistimed a simple catch to Haynes at cover and this is held easily 3/16.1 caught behind! Brilliant bowling and even better captaincy! Perfect length, fourth stump line, it just nipped away, Lanning was caught on the crease and just got a little outside edge through to Wilson. 20/35.5 LBW! Johnson has been way too good! This was a yorker length, it initially looked to be heading down leg but it swung late, du Preez got in a horrible tangled and played all over it. She was hit plumb infront on the foot. 20/210 leading edge caught at cover! Slightly shorter length, not that short though, Sciver goes back to try and work against the spin into the leg side, gets a leading edge and it balloons to cover where Haynes takes the catch moving forward! 36/412.3 caught at midwicket! Haynes hangs on again! Slightly shorter, she goes back and tries to lift this over Haynes who is close saving one at midwicket, she doesn't get it high enough and Haynes jumps up to take the catch 53/610.3 caught at deep midwicket! King slog sweeps it straight down Litchfield's throat at deep midwicket! King could not have picked her out better if she tried. Good catch by Litchfield on the run to her right 37/515.4 sky ball caught by Haynes this time at cover! She waves to the crowd after holding this. This was a full ball outside off, Osborne had sliced two drives in the air previously over cover and survived both, she didn't survive the third as Haynes set herself and took it easily 66/717.4 clean bowled! Back of a length angled into the top of off, Flintoff gave room to cut but it was too close, she missed and it crashed into the top of off 73/820 Faltum run out trying to run a bye! A swing and a miss from Faltum and Brunt called her through, Wilson underarmed to Darlington who calmly got back to whip the bails off with Faltum run out by miles 86/8Extras5 (lb 3, w 2)TOTAL86/9 (20 Overs, RR: 4.3)Did not bat: SF DayFall of wickets: 1-3 (Elyse Villani, 2.1 ov), 2-20 (Mignon du Preez, 5.5 ov), 3-20 (Meg Lanning, 6.1 ov), 4-36 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 9.6 ov), 5-37 (Alana King, 10.3 ov), 6-53 (Annabel Sutherland, 12.3 ov), 7-66 (Erin Osborne, 15.4 ov), 8-73 (Tess Flintoff, 17.4 ov), 9-86 (Nicole Faltum, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.2 given lbw! The keeper up meant Beaumont was pegged in the crease, it was a good length, nipping back, beating the inside edge and the umpire thought was hitting the top of the stumps! It looked good 24/18 sliced to backward point and it's taken by Villani! Trenaman walks down to drive on the up but it just stopped in the pitch a touch, she was through the drive early and sliced it in the air to backward point, it was an easy catch for Villani 44/29.5 clean bowled! Good bowling. Not great batting. Looped up above the eye-line but every full, Johnson tries to slog sweep across the line and it dips under the bat and crashes into off stump 54/3Extras0TOTAL87/3 (13.4 Overs, RR: 6.36)Fall of wickets: 1-24 (Tammy Beaumont, 4.2 ov), 2-44 (Rachel Trenaman, 7.6 ov), 3-54 (Sammy-Jo Johnson, 9.5 ov)
