Bowling	O	M	R	W	ECON	0s	4s	6s	WD	NB
Cassidy McCarthy	4	0	29	1	7.25	10	4	0	1	0
13.5 to NAJ Wraith, pace, 70mph bumper, Wraith is late on the pull - and McCarthy settles under the top edge! First of the day for McCarthy, The Blaze chip out another. 113/5
Grace Ballinger	3	0	27	1	9.00	6	3	1	0	0
1.2 to D Perrin, big wicket, Ballinger strikes second ball! Perrin has been in good form but falls trying to impose herself. Skips down the track and launches high into the off side, but without any distance. Well held at cover. 4/1
Kathryn Bryce	3	0	27	0	9.00	3	3	0	1	0
Kirstie Gordon	4	0	28	1	7.00	8	2	1	0	0
18.2 to A Surenkumar, Gordon strikes, Warwickshire lose another. Surenkumar tries to club over the off side but doesn't have the legs and cover circles around for a comfortable catch!. 150/7
Sarah Glenn	4	0	29	3	7.25	7	2	0	1	0
12.3 to IECM Wong, miscued and taken at cover! Wong's bristling knock comes to an end, but she's done her bit for the Bears. Tossed up by Glenn, does her in the flight with Wong trying to get down the track, maybe a hint of spin and a big top edge is the result. 100/3 12.4 to L Harris, loopy full toss, boshed straight to long-on! Laura Harris comes and goes for a golden duck, and The Blaze are firing again! Not Glenn's best ball, by any means, but it results in a second wicket of the day. 100/4 16.6 to SL Kalis, bail-trimmer and Kalis is gone! Perfect length, bounces enough to beat the attempted cut, then just brushes the off bail with enough force to dislodge it! Glenn ends her spell with a third wicket, edging the game back The Blaze's way. 140/6

Bowling	O	M	R	W	ECON	0s	4s	6s	WD	NB
Issy Wong	3.1	0	14	4	4.42	12	2	0	1	0
0.3 to TT Beaumont, explodes through the forward defensive, stumps rattled! Pitched up, draws Beaumont on to the front foot and then nips back between bat and pad to castle the senior Blaze opener. Brilliant start with the ball from Wong. 2/1 0.4 to KE Bryce, short ball, gloved behind - Wong has two in two! And it's the talisman, Karhtyn Bryce, who goes first ball! Fiendish delivery, back of a length and it just keeps following Bryce as she tries fend it away. 2/2 11.4 to SJ Bryce, banged in short, top-edged and taken! Wong strikes again, and The Blaze are in trouble now. Head-hunting bumper and Bryce flashes at a pull while turning away, picks out fine leg, where Taylor takes the catch and celebrates gleefully!. 86/5 19.1 to G Ballinger, Wonderful catch from Kumar to seal the Bears' place in the final! Got good hold of it, hoisted out through the leg-side from round the wicket, but not quite enough. Wong mops up with her fourth of a stellar spell. 143/10 Previous Next See all photos
Em Arlott	4	0	35	2	8.75	8	5	0	2	0
5.6 to M Kelly, Kelly falls, slower ball does the trick this time! Jumps out and goes for another big shot but this time she's nowhere near middling it, top-edged high towards point where Perrin makes no mistake. Arlott strikes with the final ball of the powerplay to tip the game back towards the Bears. 57/3 18.4 to KL Gordon, walks way too far across her stumps, and another one bites the dust! The last rites are upon us. 142/9
Amu Surenkumar	2	0	25	0	12.50	3	2	1	0	0
Georgia Davis	2	0	22	1	11.00	2	4	0	0	0
17.6 to GA Elwiss, down the track, and stumped! She had to keep coming, but Davis did her in flight, and Wraith whipped off the bails. That feels like game, set and match. 135/8
Hannah Baker	4	0	25	0	6.25	7	2	0	1	0
Millie Taylor	4	0	20	3	5.00	12	2	0	0	0
9.3 to H Graham, chipped back to the bowler! Mille Taylor's left-arm wristspin brings another key breakthrough for the Bears. Floated up and Graham steps out, tries to clip down the ground, ends up sending a catchable chance at a nice height. Taylor makes no mistake. 74/4 12.5 to EC Claridge, huge wicket! Claridge beaten all ends up, came down the pitch, had a hack across the line, bowled middle and leg. This game is heading south now for The Blaze. 89/6 15.2 to S Glenn, walks across her stumps, and misses it! She was doing a good job of tonking it, but tried to get cute this time, and got in a proper tangle to the fuller length. 114/7
