Fletcher to Bates, OUT, leading edge! Taken at mid-off. West Indies are on a roll! For a player who has tried to be as orthodox as possible, this is a weird shot. Leans forward, and even when she is not to the pitch - credit to the bowler Fletcher for shortening her trajectory there - she plays with a closed face looking for runs against the turn. Credit to the captaincy too, Midwicket was wide open to tempt that shot.

Fletcher to Bates, no run

Fletcher to McGlashan, 5 runs, terrible throw from Dottin, and it's been ushered to the midwicket boundary. It was a simple little dab into the offside, and again they look for a scary little single. Dottin gets in quickly and have a fine chance to produce the second run-out of the over. Threw it right over the bowler

Fletcher to Bates, 1 run, looped right up on middle, driven to long-on
6.2
Fletcher to Devine, OUT, and we have a direct hit, and it could well prove decisive! Devine's short of her ground! Just like this ball was short of a length. Seemed like a simple put away towards point, and it was. Devine went deep in her crease and placed it just wide of the fielder. But her mistake was that she did not run in a straight line. She was running down the legside of the pitch, and veered to her left all on her own.

SFM Devine run out 22 (19m 14b 4x4 0x6) SR: 157.14

Fletcher to Bates, 1 run, tossed up, but with a little room, it sets up a drive through the covers
 

Double change. Here's Fletcher with some legspin
