- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.5 cagey stuff, shortish length and straightens down the line middle and it's a vociferous appeal in unison for an lbw, not given and immediately sent for further inspection. Slinked forward to get behind the line and missed it. Three reds, hitting middle fully and the decision has been overturned, successful review! Looked like height could be an issue but luckily for Kapp, it's clattering the middle peg fully 8/15.3 around the wicket again, lobbed up full into middle, loads up and takes the bait, heaved down the ground but finds deep midwicket to perfection, hangs onto it brilliantly and Chathli has to take the long walk back to the pavillion 40/215.5 gobsmacked by the fuller in length delivery speared wide of off, strikes it firmly but straight into the hands of Gardener at long off who makes no mistake and pouches it safe enough, was a great sliding take to her left, end of a wonderful knock 140/318.1 steps away to the leg side to access the gaps and find a boundary option, bowls it full on middle and she manages to lift it down to long-off, gobbled by Gardner at long-off, a simple catch 164/419.3 goes fuller and just outside off, goes down on one knee and sashayed across her stumps, ends up scooping it back to Winfield-Hill and departs 174/5Extras14 (lb 5, w 9)TOTAL176/5 (20 Overs, RR: 8.8 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Georgia Redmayne, 1.5 ov), 2-40 (Kira Chathli, 5.3 ov), 3-140 (Cordelia Griffith, 15.5 ov), 4-164 (Charli Knott, 18.1 ov), 5-174 (Danielle Gibson, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 some gyration into middle, hard length and teasing inward seam movement, she gets trapped on the backfoot and is unable to punch through the line, almost a carbon copy of the previous delivery, she thought about a review but then decided against it, captain goes without troubling the scorers 0/118.3 goes fuller and it was dipping onto the toes, goes big again and tonked straight into the hands of Gibson at deep midwicket, excellent knock even though she wasn't in form coming into this game 151/45.4 That looks stone dead, no confusion whatsoever and the finger goes up! On a length and skids on, turning in towards middle and she fails to flick it away, looks plumb and she doesn't burn a review 37/215.2 oh my word, that's a tremendous riposte! follows it up with a searing near yorker and it veers in just enough to sneak through her defence, can't connect on the pull and makes a mess of her stumps, big roar of celebration from Wong as she gets the big fish 114/3Extras7 (lb 5, w 2)TOTAL159/4 (20 Overs, RR: 7.95 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Lauren Winfield-Hill, 0.2 ov), 2-37 (Alice Capsey, 5.4 ov), 3-114 (Marizanne Kapp, 15.2 ov), 4-151 (Meg Lanning, 18.3 ov)
