Brave vs Originals, 11th Match at Southampton, Women's Hundred, Aug 01 2024 - Ball by Ball Commentary

Bang! Finishes the game in style with another four down the ground. Length ball at off, gets behind and spanks it up and over mid-off for four, impeccably orchestrated knock, an unblemished innings, she is a treat to watch when on song!

On a length and angled it straight at stumps, gets behind and pulverises it over the bowler's head for a four, superb shot, margin of error is minimal against Wolvaardt, scores are level

Charges in, round the wicket, fuller and offers width, that's a cardinal sin at this stage, a loosener and she says thank you very much, gets down low and creams it over extra cover for four, not the best of the starts and she knows she erred

Round, floated fuller at an innocuous pace at middle and leg, hauls it away to deep square region and sets off for a couple

Round and once again that tough yorker length on middle, she springs down and clips it away to deep midwicket, pushing for the second

Over the wicket, yorker length at middle, thrashes it down to short mid-off, good work from Adams, sticking to her guns

Pressure telling...more flight and befuddled her in the flight, length on middle, came down and squirted it to short third who fumbles at a crucial stage

Round the wicket, pitched up on middle, came down and rifles it through the line between long-on and long-off, Adams got her hand to it and took the pace off, long-off charges in and keeps them down to one

Pace-off back of a length ball on middle, picks the length early and gets in a good position to swat it uppishly towards deep midwicket

On a length and takes the pace off, middle-stump line, tucks it into the leg side

Bowls too full and gives little bit of room, no one patrolling the fence on the off-side and she stays back, times it sweetly to the boundary at cover, all along the floor with so much power and fizz!

Over the wicket, heat-seeking yorker tailing in at middle and leg, that was a scorching thunderbolt, too hot to handle and she can't work it away, on the shin and dies down quickly in front of the stumps

Slowish fuller one dipping in from outside off, slapped to sweeper cover and hares for the second, marvelous runnning!

Floated up fuller right up to the toes, unable to flick it away, that's an expensive over. Can Lauren create panic and get them ahead in the contest?

Skips down the track and places it towards long-on

Hacked away over backward square for four, quicker on the pads and she uses brute force in her wrists to tonk it away

Picturesque! Comes down the track and thumps it over cover for four, proper cricket shot right out of the textbook, quality written all over it

Tossed up on the pads, brushed the pads and deflects behind square on leg

Fuller length and jags back at middle, smites powerfully down the floor but can't bisect the fielders at cover. Massive over coming up, Brave find themselves in a similar position as in the last game

Slightly shorter and angled in at middle, whippy pull towards midwicket
