Lucy Hamilton to Jemimah Rodrigues, out Caught by Ashleigh Gardner!! As soft a dismissal as it can get! Jemimah Rodrigues was looking so good out there but a lapse in concentration has led to her downfall. A half-volley on the pads, Jemimah Rodrigues flicks it uppishly and doesn't bother to keep it down. Perhaps she was a bit early into the stroke and couldn't control it. Gardner, who is stationed deeper at square leg, makes no mistake. Things have opened up once again. With that, the players take Drinks as well.
