skied into the covers, a simple chance to Norris... who shells it! Oh my, what a finish! That should have been 1 from 1 with a new batter on strike... but instead Cross gets away with a horrid miscue!

The Meerkat Match Hero is Phoebe Litchfield: "So glad we got it done, not the most fluent innings, but a team effort. A dream come true to play here, so to be on the winning side is special. I'm not the biggest hitter so try to hit different pockets on the field. Bess hit the sixes, I just nurdle it around."
Right, the men's match is coming up shortly. Matt Roller is all over that. From myself and Thilak, thanks and goodnight!
5.39pm Well, that was a thriller, albeit an anticlimax at the end there. Superchargers squeak through by the skin of Tara Norris's palms.
Baz: "Rare game where the clear PotM is on the losing side. Doubt if they will give it to her though."

wider line, and Cross lamps surely the match-sealing boundary through point! Scores level and England's chase heroine does it again

Norris to Wareham, FOUR runs
pace off the ball, and skimmed past the cover fielder! So close to holing out, but it would have taken a blinder from Knight, stretching with an outstretched right hand. Holland sweeps round in the deep but her attempted claw-back deflects off her feet and over the rope. Crucial boundary!

Norris to Cross, 1 run
swung hard out to deep midwicket, Wareham wants two but it's just the single

Where's the ramp...

Norris to Cross, 2 runs
low full toss, plonked back past the bowler to long-on
Tara Norris, fresh from that dropped catch, has a chance to atone now

Amelia Kerr to Wareham, no run
steps across to off, but Wareham holds her nerve, dipping a well-flighted delivery under an expansive swing to leg. The pendulum swings again!

Filer to Wareham, FOUR runs
width, slapped, dropped! Tara Norris at backward point, perfectly placed for the miscued cut, but the ball bursts through her hands and away to the rope! Huge moment

Filer to Cross, 1 run
rushed through the pull, top-edged, but not quite enough legs to carry to deep square

Filer to Cross, no run
74mph, hits the pitch, rises into the hip, Cross can't do anything with that

Filer to Wareham, FOUR runs
flicked off the toes, superb timing! Scorches across the turf at deep midwicket. Back-to-back boundaries to flick the momentum again!
Filer's final set. Big moment. Could go any of several ways!

bosh! Full length, and dumped back through Glenn's legs, away through long-off. That'll help!
Kate Cross. What price the ramp now?
