    0.1 given lbw first ball!! Henry is pumped, and is busy punching the air. Lanning has a word with her partner, who advises her to walk back - so UPW decide not to review. This is what happened: Henry swung the ball in, and landed it on a full length on middle and leg. I thought the ball straightened after pitching, before striking Lanning in front. She went for the drive but missed, and that hardly required much appealing from Henry for umpire to raise his finger. Replays show it would have been umpire's call on clipping the leg stump 0/1
    5.6 taken at extra cover!! A bit of a tame dismissal. Kapp bowls a slower one, and gives the ball plenty of revs. Like before, Deepti looks to slog with her front leg out of the way. Except that this ball is short in length, and around off, while Deepti is playing from leg. She attempts a heave, but her bottom hand comes off the bat, and the ball chips off the toe end of the bat to the fielder 36/3
    3.6 gone!! Taken by Lee. Kapp looks more angry than happy. She digs in a short ball around off, with the ball climbing steeply to finish close to Knott's throat. She looks to pull after backing away, but the bounce has got her. The ball takes the top edge, and settles into Lee's gloves. No reaction from Kapp, but DC have their second 29/2
    8.1 strikes first ball!! Deol goes for the sweep, but falls lbw. She has a word with Dottin... and reviews. I thought that was plumb, but we'll see. Charani angled it on, and got the ball to dip on a fullish length middle. In fact, Deol has started walking back already on seeing the first replay. The ball passed from below her bat, and there' no bat involved there. Replays show the ball would have hit the middle of middle stump, and that means DC have their fourth 40/4
    9.4 loud appeal for lbw, but not given. Kapp gives her everything at that while appealing... and Rodrigues reviews. It was a short-of-a-length ball pitching on off, and seaming in to finish on leg. Dottin looked to flick, but was beaten on the inside edge. There's no bat involved, and replays show the ball would have hit the top of leg. Kapp has her third, and UPW hardly have any momentum 52/5
    12.3 taken at mid-off!! A well-judged catch by Mani. She turned halfway to her left, and kept her eyes on the ball, which dropped from over her left shoulder. Henry bowled it on a short of a length on off, and Shaikh looked to loft down the ground. But that wasn't timed at all, and only ended up getting ballooned up to the 25-yard circle 76/7
    11.6 sliced to cover point!! Just when it had finally started looking good for UPW, the partnership is broken. Mani tosses the ball up nicely, and goes full and wide-ish of off. Giri goes driving away from her body, and ends up finding Shafali right on the edge of the circle 74/6

    16.5 lofted to long-on!! Shobhana goes for the big hit, but finds the fielder. Charani bowled this full, and got it to dip on a full length on middle and leg. Shobhana got her front leg out of the way and went heaving, but that didn't have any timing and power 94/8

    1.5 an ugly dismissal. Lee falls after hitting and missing a few. Her bottom hand comes off the bat as she reaches out at this length delivery wide of off, and fails to connect with the swipe. The ball pops up for the mid-off fielder, who turns halfway to her right, and takes it while moving back 11/1
    14.2 taken at cover point!! Shafali departs after looking off-colour. In fact, she goes to a short ball a little wide of off. Shikha went slightly wide outside, and Shafali ended up slashing the ball straight to Lanning, who didn't have to move a step to catch that 97/3
    12.3 gone this time!! The ball dies on to Ecclestone, but she makes up for her drop of Wolvaardt earlier today. The umpires, though, have referred to check for the fairness of the catch. Yup, it's clean. The ball drops nicely into the hands, which touch the ground as Ecclestone tumbles. Wolvaardt was down the pitch, and looked to heave at this length delivery around off. But like Shafali earlier in the over, she couldn't send it all the way 84/2

    15.2 gone!! Are we in for some drama?! DC have lost back-to-back wickets. This time it's Kapp. She gets a full delivery dipping on middle, and one that's slower. But she still goes for the loft down the ground by getting her front leg out of the way. Kapp does go through with the shot, though, but only gets height, and little distance. Gaud, from long-off, ends up at mid-off, and takes the catch 98/4
    16.2 what a catch!! Are DC letting it go despite being in a winning position?! UPW dropped much easier catches earlier today, but this one, from Deepti - and one from Ecclestone before - certainly comes at a crucial time. Deepti stretches her hands out to her right, and grabs the ball low, after Henry swats this length ball around off pwoerfully 101/5
