Jess Kerr to Amy Jones
A bit of a loop, curving into the right hander, another yorker length ball, Jones looks to dig it out but misses. The ball hits the Kiwi keeper's right leg and deflects to the off side. That could have so easily been four byes.

Rosemary Mair to Amy Jones
FOUR! And again! Missed it the first time? Don't bother about the replays or highlights. Here comes another. The off cutter, around middle, Jones backs away to the leg side and swings it over mid-wicket. One bounce and into the fence. The stand is worth 70 (65)

Rosemary Mair to Amy Jones
FOUR! GLORIOUS! Probably the best of the three boundaries. Full, around off, Amy Jones comes forward and drives it between mid off and cover for a hat-trick of fours!

Sophie Devine to Heather Knight
OUT! LBW! Hurrah for the legend in what could be her final over in WODIs! That looked so plumb that even Heather Knight, who has had plenty of gos with the review system this tournament, chooses not to review. In fact, Jones has a chat with her, but Knight just walks off, even showing a smile which might have meant, 'Naah. Don't think I can get everything my way.' Jokes apart, coming to the ball, it was full and straight. Knight looks to play across the line and misses, with the ball staying low a touch, getting hit on the pads. Devine appeals for LBW with a smile and the umpire raises her finger in a flash. The 83-run stand has been broken and Heather Knight departs for 33 (40). England Women are 158/2, just 11 runs shy of claiming the second spot in the points table. Ball Tracking returns it as umpire's call on leg stump. Not so straight then, as we felt initially.

The cutter to finish, on middle and leg, DWH leans and flicks it towards short mid-wicket. A wide spoils what could have been a wicket maiden for the skipper!
