Amelia Kerr to Fatima Sana, out Bowled!! Googly and bowled. Flatter, turned in, Fatima Sana looks to chop it down and misses the line of the delivery. She went back to a delivery to which she should have been forward to. The ball turned in sharply and quickly as well. The ball ended up hitting the sticks. Fifth one down and half the side is back into the hut. Fatima Sana b Amelia Kerr 2(4)

Lea Tahuhu to Omaima Sohail, out Lbw!! Lea Tahuhu draws first blood! She has struck in her first over. Pitched up by the bowler, Omaima Sohail looks to flick it away but gets beaten. Rapped on the pads and the umpire reckons this would've crashed into the stumps. Omaima Sohail has a word with Muneeba and decides to walk off. Doesn't waste a review and that's a good call I guess. Replays confirm, this was hitting the leg-stump. Omaima Sohail lbw b Lea Tahuhu 3(15)
