- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.4 over the wicket, length at middle, skips down and thumps it towards the bowler as she gets down and gets her fingertips on it, the ball stays within the line of the stumps and the bails come off, non-striker is not inside the crease and that's a rather unfortunate way to get out after such a stupendous innings. Gets a huge round of applause, entire crowd is up on their feet, applauding the effort, it's been an unblemished innings, one for the memory vault! Fabulous stuff from the incredibly talented player, gets applause from the opposition teammates as well 171/39.4 fuller and skids onto the toes, clipped to deep backward square, tries to scamper back for a brace and looks in trouble, clean pick-up by Knott and she quickly dislodges the stumps, Davidson is absolutely livid with herself, adomonishing herself while walking back to the dugout, short of the crease. Excellent throw by Griffifth, she has got a rocket arm. Much needed breakthrough for Spirit who were under the pump 105/115.2 goes full on leg, she prances down the track and lashes it down the ground, unable to clear the rope, finds the fielder to perfection as she gobbles right in front of her face, excellent catch and a vital breakthrough! Phoebe provided the impetus and didn't let the scoring rate drop down a wee bit, not putting pressure on Perrin for all the heavy-lifting 169/216.5 over the wicket, back of a length on middle, she inverses her stance and crucnhes a pull but an incredible catch at backward square will bring an end to her innings, one handed stunner while diving to her left. Annabel has to take the long walk back to the pavilion 176/417.1 over the wicket, tossed up and outside off, lifted it off the front foot and finds the fielder at cover, pockets a low catch 176/5Extras15 (lb 1, w 14)TOTAL214/5 (20 Overs, RR: 10.7 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-105 (Alice Davidson-Richards, 9.4 ov), 2-169 (Phoebe Litchfield, 15.2 ov), 3-171 (Davina Perrin, 15.4 ov), 4-176 (Annabel Sutherland, 16.5 ov), 5-176 (Hollie Armitage, 17.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 that is a sensational start, Ballinger draws the first blood with an absolute corker of a delivery, neither too short, nort too full, nibbles away to the off-stump and beats her ambitious sweep, clattering the bails and crashing onto the off-stump! 0/11.1 frantic bit of batting, how often you see that happen when teams are chasing a mamoth total? Hard length and not much room to break free, lofts it down the ground and finds fielder at deep midwicket to perfection, already light years behind in this game 7/27.5 oh-ohww, flummoxed her with a full-toss on off and she loses it in the air, back of the hand slower ball attempted but she will be mighty pleased with the end result, forced to extra cover and it's time for a strategic break 75/42.2 wrecked her stumps! Sent back with a brute of a delivery, doing the needful! Troubling length, just a little short of a length and it nips back a fraction to beat her ambitious swing towards midwicket, dream ball for a pacer. What a spell by Ballinger and London continue to implode, that's the scoreboard pressure 12/38.2 shortens her length and keeps it just outside off, she slinks back and slaps it straight to extra cover in the ring, lapse of concentration. The rain and little pause could have also broke the rhythem, getting stiffer and stiffer now as half of the team goes back to the dugout 79/59.4 over the wicket, tocuh fuller than a length and it skids away to off-stump, miscues the skier, finds the fielder at short cover who takes a regulation catch, I won't fault the approach, she had to go. Well-disguised slower one does the trick 87/616.5 over the wicket, pitched up on fifth stump line or thereabouts, spooned straight to the fielder at mid off, no real conviction and power behind. Cross bringing all her vast experience to the fore and getting the job done, master of her craft, still going strong as she approaches the twilight of her career 149/717.2 slow yorker dipping in at leg, goes leg side and fended to point, gobbled under throat, easy catch. It wasn't clubbed hard. Wheels continue to come off and Spirit are going down quickly 153/817.3 back of the hand nip-backer on a teasing fuller length and it jags back just enough to beat the bat and thump the pads, umpire raises the finger quickly in agreement. Review taken straightaway. Clear gap between bat and pad echoes third ump. Let's move further to the ball tracking. Loads up. Pitching in line, impact outside off andf hitting the top of middle so Gray will continue to walk off, just hoping against hope that it might just go over the stumps, big fist pump from Sutherland and a huge smile on her face, two in two for her after a torrid start earlier in the day 153/9Extras8 (lb 2, w 6)TOTAL172/9 (20 Overs, RR: 8.6 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Grace Harris, 0.2 ov), 2-7 (Kira Chathli, 1.1 ov), 3-12 (Danielle Gibson, 2.2 ov), 4-75 (Cordelia Griffith, 7.5 ov), 5-79 (Charli Knott, 8.2 ov), 6-87 (Issy Wong, 9.4 ov), 7-149 (Charlie Dean, 16.5 ov), 8-153 (Sarah Glenn, 17.2 ov), 9-153 (Eva Gray, 17.3 ov)
