- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.2 Off stump knocked over. Dunkley made room and tried to slap the length ball, it drifted in and cramped the batter for room. Beats bat, so it's fifty and out for Dunkley. She started by shaping to charge down the ground but had to adjust due to the length and the drift. 92/22.3 Beaumont charges and whips it, holes out to deep midwicket! Adams' powerplay introduction pays off. Beaumont got close to the pitch of the ball and timed the flick well, but Wyatt was close to the boundary and got the ball coming right at her. 19/114.2 Through her! Slower one at 56mph is dug into the pitch. The legcutter didn't get much bounce, Harris crouched and tried to pull it but the ball snuck under bat. She was too early on it too. But a good cameo from Harris nonetheless. Shrubsole has her first. 114/318.5 Charges and heaves, finds long-on. Wide ball on the fuller side, Elwiss tried to swipe it across but got it off the bottom. Great end to Adams' spell 138/419.5 Takes a couple of steps down and smears the full, wide ball back down the ground. Throw comes in from the deep, McCaughan comes in for the second but falls well short. 144/5Extras6 (b 1, nb 2, w 3)TOTAL144/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.2 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-19 (Tammy Beaumont, 2.3 ov), 2-92 (Sophia Dunkley, 12.2 ov), 3-114 (Laura Harris, 14.2 ov), 4-138 (Georgia Elwiss, 18.5 ov), 5-144 (Ella McCaughan, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.2 That's among the best timed shots of the day but she finds Ismail at deep extra cover. Mandhana made room and went inside out, the ball was full and at the stumps. She didn't want to keep it on the ground, timed it really well but placement was off. 78/20.5 Catching practice for Harris. She was standing wide at first slip and the shortish ball was guided from over middle stump. Wyatt had started making room, looked like she was shaping for the pull, but she had second thoughts. Presumably due to the pace. The angle back in didn't help with the open-faced bat. Ismail is thrilled and Fire celebrate. 1/113.1 Leading edge carries to mid-off. Not a common way of a wicket coming by but it's key. Bouchier took a few steps down the crowd and tried to tuck the ball square. The ball held in the pitch which meant Bouchier closed the face of the bat too early. Ballooned to mid-off. Is that the gamechanger? 92/318.4 Low full toss angles in towards Adams. She whips it flat in the air but hits it straight to Dunkley at deep midwicket! Another twist. Dunkley is chuffed. Beaumont tries to remain calm. 136/613.2 Appeal for caught behind, given! Length outside off, may have gone away a tad bit. Kemp tried to drive it through cover and tickled it. Bryce's reflexes helped to take it close to her left knee. Two in two 92/416.5 Dunkley takes a great low catch to send back Tryon. She didn't spot it at first, her hands were searching as she strode to the right. But once she did, she got on the right knee and took it well. The ball was full and following Tryon as she made room, she swung across. Hit it flat in the air but couldn't place it in the gap 116/518.5 Davies runs out Moore at the non-striker's end. Full outside off, Moore tried to whack it towards mid-on. Hit it into the pitch and the ball skewed to the right of Davies. She ran across and underarmed the ball straight into the stumps. Moore was on one knee and had to spring up before taking off. Great clarity from Davies. 136/719.3 They try to steal two but the throw at the non-striker's end is sharp. Ismail takes the bails off in a flash. Southby isn't close. Third umpire gives it out. One run taken, Brown back on strike. Length ball was forced to deep midwicket with the horizontal bat. 143/8Extras10 (b 4, lb 5, w 1)TOTAL145/8 (20 Overs, RR: 7.25 per 6 ball)Did not bat: LK BellFall of wickets: 1-1 (Danni Wyatt-Hodge, 0.5 ov), 2-78 (Smriti Mandhana, 10.2 ov), 3-92 (Maia Bouchier, 13.1 ov), 4-92 (Freya Kemp, 13.2 ov), 5-116 (Chloe Tryon, 16.5 ov), 6-136 (Georgia Adams, 18.4 ov), 7-136 (Kalea Moore, 18.5 ov), 8-143 (Rhianna Southby, 19.3 ov)
