Fire all but make it directly to the final! Matthews chips this fullish ball around off over mid-on, and holds the pose, given how stylishly she had played the shot

full ball drifting into off, and driven to long-on

full and angling in to end outside leg. She went to reverse sweep, but almost gave it up while losing her balance. In the end, she missed the ball

tossed up, and dips on a full length on the stumps. Nudged to midwicket

ohhh, on the bounce to extra cover moving to her right! She again advanced down and looked to clip this fullish ball on the stumps, but got a leading edge, with the ball popping up for an opportunity

slower ball, and quite full just outside off. Dragged to mid-on

lofts over mid-off! She gets down the track, and gets to the pitch of this length ball slightly wide of off, before freely swinging her arms for four

good bounce off a length just outside off. Chopped away towards point for a rapid single

quite full ball, which angles in and hits her pad outside leg, as she looks to flick

on a length around fifth stump, and another push towards deep extra cover

more short-of-a-length stuff from Tryon, and punched to mid-off's left

another short ball, but this wider outside off. Slashed to deep point

short in length again, and outside off. Punched hard to long-off, which is wider than usual, and is in place despite there being a mid-off too

hint of Suryakumar Yadav in that swat-punch, as she reaches out at this shortish ball which is wide of off, and plays it wide of mid-off

fullish length, and just outside off. Tapped towards point

crashed to fine leg! That is also her fifty! This has been an aggressive knock from the word go. This time she finds the boundary by pulling hard at another short-of-a-length ball around middle

short of a length again, and the line is on off. Matthews goes to pull, but loses her bottom hand, with the ball rising towards deep midwicket

short of a length on off, and pulled powerfully to fine leg

shorter side of a length on middle and leg, and clipped to fine leg

nicely bowled! Slightly fuller length than the last ball, but the line is again tight and just outside off. Now Matthews looks to push, but is beaten
