- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.6 that's a beauty! Full length, angled in, hint of outswing, flicks the top of off as Jones plays all around the off-stump line. You-miss-I-hit stuff, and a wicket maiden puts an abrupt end to England's confident start 55/134.4 pace off, big launch, brilliant take from Voll! Beaumont went for the glory strike, didn't time the slower ball, but Voll at long-on had to back-pedal to the rope, cling on above her head, then lob the ball back into play as she lost her balance. A step out of play with the ball in the air and a safe grasp to prise the critical wicket of the innings 147/417.5 huge appeal for lbw! Not give Slides on from round the wicket, and McGrath calls the review. Knight on the back foot, deep in her crease. Will the angle save Knight? Nope, it's three reds! Smashing leg stump 90/222.2 taken at mid-off! King earns her reward. NSB coming down the pitch, looking to go straight, bat skews across the ball a touch as it turns. A simple catch for Sutherland who just had to take a few steps outside the circle 105/339.1 Oh Good Lord that is an ugly dismissal! A rash gallop down the track, misreading the flight and dip entirely, and running straight past an ungainly shovel to leg, before flinging herself desperately back at the crease. The stumps have already been long broken, and England's abject slide gathers pace 166/636.6 back-of-the-hand slower ball wriggles through Lamb's defences! So it begins... England's middle-order woes are becoming insurmountable. Lamb leant forward, but had no answer to Sutherland's wiles.
An inside-edge into her padsNope, straight into the pads, and onto the stumps. England are in trouble now 160/547.5 a wipe across the line, pinned on the back leg! Capsey reviews, as she must... but this looks adjacent to leg stump. She was down on one knee for the slog-sweep, but the bat was a long way from the ball. She's already taking off her gloves before the three reds appear on the screen. A gutsy knock, that probably counts more for battles to come than the one currently underway 227/748.1 flogged to cover, two quick wickets! Dean was obliged to keep swinging, but she found the wrong line to attack, hitting across the ball as the shot skewed in the air to Litchfield on the edge of the ring. 240 feels distant now 227/849.1 round the wicket, thumped into the pocket at deep midwicket... a miscommunication as Smith turns for the second, is sent back, and run out by three yards as Voll gathers the return, lines the stumps up from a distance and pings them down. She had a choice between racing Smith to the crease or trusting her eye. The latter was good! 236/9Extras13 (b 5, lb 4, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL244/9 (50 Overs, RR: 4.88)Fall of wickets: 1-55 (Amy Jones, 8.6 ov), 2-90 (Heather Knight, 17.5 ov), 3-105 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 22.2 ov), 4-147 (Tammy Beaumont, 34.4 ov), 5-160 (Emma Lamb, 36.6 ov), 6-166 (Sophia Dunkley, 39.1 ov), 7-227 (Alice Capsey, 47.5 ov), 8-227 (Charlie Dean, 48.1 ov), 9-236 (Linsey Smith, 49.1 ov)Bowling O M R W Econ 0s 4s 6s WD NB M Schutt 4 0 21 0 5.25 16 4 0 0 0 KJ Garth 7 2 43 0 6.14 27 7 1 0 1 A Sutherland 10 1 60 3 6 31 9 0 1 0 S Molineux 10 0 52 2 5.2 27 6 0 0 0 AM King 10 1 20 1 2 41 0 0 0 0 A Gardner 9 0 39 2 4.33 26 2 0 2 0

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.3 gone, cleaned up! Terrific delivery from Bell. Pitches around middle and leg, shapes away from the left hander, skims past the edge and cannons into off stump 2/13.1 dragged on! England have a second and the game is opening up. Strange shot by Voll, came out of the crease then aimed to slog sweep, takes the bottom edge into off stump. Voll ends up losing her balance completely and rolling on her back. Smith strikes again with the new ball 21/25.2 gone, back to the bowler! Well, well. Short of a length, Perry went onto the back foot, looking to work to the on side and the leading edge pops back up the pitch 24/315.5 taken at midwicket! Very sharp catch. Was a touch short again outside off, Mooney went for the pull and couldn't keep this one down, or find the gap. NSB grabs it to her left 68/4Extras6 (b 1, w 5)TOTAL248/4 (40.3 Overs, RR: 6.12)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Phoebe Litchfield, 0.3 ov), 2-21 (Georgia Voll, 3.1 ov), 3-24 (Ellyse Perry, 5.2 ov), 4-68 (Beth Mooney, 15.5 ov)
