- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.1 gone first ball! Kerr's woes continue. Pitched up and swinging away, this new ball. Kerr seems a bit desperate and wants to smash it away but she can only edge it behind and Lizelle Lee throws herself to her right, can't hold on on first attempt but grabs on to it the second time. 2/16.3 talk about a comeback! Nandani strikes after being hit for two fours and she has Kamalini caught behind! Pitched up well outside off almost like a wide yorker, Kamalini doesn't get close to it and has to reach out with a horizontal bat again, and gets a thick edge behind for another diving catch for Lee 51/214.2 Should've been four but NSB finds Jemimah at cover. She turns and throws the ball in delight before racing to the bowler. Was a quicker 91ks full ball. Slightly side-arm release. Still allowed the step-hit. The field on the off-side was mostly in the ring. Ends a great knock from NSB 117/318.3 Middle stump dinked, Nandani pumps her fists and roars in delight. Carey stood leg side of the ball, took a couple of steps forward and looks to pull it off a length.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.1 there comes the first wicket, and who does it come from? Nat Sciver-Brunt. An offcutter which she rolls her fingers over, lack of pace, slightly full, and Lee wants to smash that down the ground but she finds mid-on for the easiest of catches 15/14.3 beautiful delivery knocks over off stump! Shafali was struggling and she walked down the pitch, presented the straight face of the bat, but with a gap between bat and pad, and Carey's seam movement finds that gap 32/24.5 off stump gone again! The crowd loves it, the DC dugout is stunned. Unlike Shafali, Wolvaardt was looking in good touch but she drives away from the body without much footwork, the ball seams in off the pitch and knocks over the off stump 33/35.2 excellent one-handed catch and Rodrigues is gone too! Horror run for the DC line-up. Rodrigues goes after the wide delivery that Ismail has rolled her fingers over, gets the thickest of edges that goes behind. Kamalini throws herself to her right and the ball sticks into her right glove. She didn't have a great day yesterday but what a catch this is, she is getting mobbed by her team-mates 33/46.6 that's what you call six and out! Kapp goes after that one too, driving it away but she only manages a thick outside edge which flies away to short there for a dolly 46/511.4 Through her! Legbreak from beyond the perpendicular goes straight. Stump-to-stump ball lands on a length and clatters middle stump after beating the hard sweep 86/617.1 Carey takes it on the long-off boundary and raises both her hands. She took it on one leg and held her shape after taking it around head-height. Was a full ball lobbed outside off, one in Henry's wheelhouse. She got low and had a swipe across her ankles. Ball was there to be hit, nearly sailed over. Good innings from Henry 133/814.5 The wide line does the trick. It has Rana reach out and slash, top-edges it and finds cover. Carey makes amends. Was a back-of-hand slower ball at 84ks 108/717.6 Right up... and keeper takes it. Another googly from Kerr. Length ball on fifth, angling away, Mani danced down and swiped across her knees. Wanted to go straight 136/918.6 At the stumps, and that's the game. Fullish length ball on middle and leg, 82ks. Nandani looked to flick it through midwicket, got a leading edge that popped straight to backward point 145/10Extras11 (b 2, lb 1, w 8)TOTAL145 all out (19 Overs, RR: 7.63)Fall of wickets: 1-15 (Lizelle Lee, 3.1 ov), 2-32 (Shafali Verma, 4.3 ov), 3-33 (Laura Wolvaardt, 4.5 ov), 4-33 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 5.2 ov), 5-46 (Marizanne Kapp, 6.6 ov), 6-86 (Niki Prasad, 11.4 ov), 7-108 (Sneh Rana, 14.5 ov), 8-133 (Chinelle Henry, 17.1 ov), 9-136 (Minnu Mani, 17.6 ov), 10-145 (Nandani Sharma, 18.6 ov)
