- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.5 Tries to launch it but can't clear long-on. You could sense Winfield-Hill's urgency there. Made room, then took off. Baker noticed the cues and landed it slow and around a back of length. Winfield-Hill had to generate her own power and tried to belt it down the ground but could only drag it to long-on. 90/35.2 Done in flight and Jones is onto the stumping in a flash. Bates took big hops early and Levick pulled her length back and kept the line wide. It was tossed up and curved away. Bates had to search for it due to the bounce and poked at it last second but was too late. 31/15.3 Sharp reflex catch by Jones to make it two from two! Length ball pitches around fourth and spins away, gets high bounce and Capsey tried to cut it square. She tickled it, Jones maintains balance and takes it around the right shoulder. 31/216.5 Yorker rips past the closing bat face and rattles middle and leg. Scholfield was on the move and tried to clip it square but her positivity worked against her thanks to Flintoff's skill and pace. Great cameo nonetheless. 112/417.5 Rips away from the bat swing and Jones is onto the stumping in a flash again. A bit of MS Dhoni in how she pushed the ball into the stumps without taking her gloves back. The ball was on a length and Griffith didn't get to it despite charging down the ground. She had made a bit of room and the ball spun away further to deny access, she tried to go over extra but missed it 116/5Extras6 (lb 2, nb 2, w 2)TOTAL142/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.1 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-31 (Suzie Bates, 5.2 ov), 2-31 (Alice Capsey, 5.3 ov), 3-90 (Lauren Winfield-Hill, 13.5 ov), 4-112 (Paige Scholfield, 16.5 ov), 5-116 (Cordelia Griffith, 17.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.3 The boundary dry-up is followed by Devine's wicket! Devine made room and got one following her, tried to help it away with the pull. The ball flew straight to Kapp at deep-backward square, who took the catch and threw it back with what seemed to be a mix of nonchalance and annoyance. MacDonald-Gay is chuffed as she hugs the keeper 68/117.1 Great stumping from Winfield-Hill! Took it just behind the stumps and whipped the bails off quickly. Flintoff charged and tried to launch it down the ground, played down the wrong line. She tried to hit her way out but couldn't snap out of the struggle 104/412.3 Short third takes it, MacDonald-Gay breaks through again! It was full and wide, there for Jones to slash over cover. She wound up and sprung at it too hard, the bat catapulted back and the ball skewed off the bottom to the right of Griffith, at short third, who took a good, running catch 81/216.1 Misses the ramp, hits top of middle. Burns pre-meditated by going across early, Burns went slow and into the pitch. Burns tried to launch it fine, with the bat scooping up from low to high, but the ball angled in and went on to hit the stumps. 101/318.1 Jones sacrifices her wicket to keep Wong on strike. Wide ball was swiped to long-on. Wong had completed just over a quarter of a run but Jones had crossed over to ensure strike didn't change 114/519.5 Top edged to short third and Invincibles clinch it by 10 runs. Wong had gone across, got a length ball outside off, she tried to slap it away but ballooned it to Chathli 132/6Extras4 (b 1, nb 2, w 1)TOTAL132/6 (20 Overs, RR: 6.6 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-68 (Sophie Devine, 10.3 ov), 2-81 (Amy Jones, 12.3 ov), 3-101 (Erin Burns, 16.1 ov), 4-104 (Tess Flintoff, 17.1 ov), 5-114 (Eve Jones, 18.1 ov), 6-132 (Issy Wong, 19.5 ov)
