Alana King to Tammy Beaumont, no run, big appeal from bowler and keeper, not given, and they've gone for the review. Another ripper from King who's just bowling beautifully.

Alana King to Sophia Dunkley, 1 run, look at the risks they're having to take because of all the pressure. Beaumont is struggling and has to put the dive in. Direct hit would've still sent her packing. Dips on a good length on off, Dunkley knocks it in front of short cover and they go for a very tight single. Would've been disaster if there was a direct hit

Alana King to Tammy Beaumont, no run, huge appeal from King but it looked like there was bat involved. That could've been the only thing to save Beaumont.

Alana King to Nat Sciver-Brunt, out Caught by Sutherland!! The risk paid off in the previous over, but it leads to her downfall this time. In looking to go big, Sciver-Brunt perishes. Was the buildup of pressure that led to this stroke with King bowling three quiet overs from this end. The England captain comes dancing down for the big shot, isn't quite to the pitch of this legbreak and ends up slicing it in the air off the outside half. Simple catch for Sutherland at mid-off.
