Smith to Georgia Voll, out Bowled!! The slogsweep and Georgia Voll misses. It's fired full on off, Voll goes low to slogsweep and misses, the ball goes past the bat and hits off-stump halfway up. Voll is a naturally aggressive batter and she was going to go for her shots. Smith leaps in the air to punch it as she celebrates. Two quick wickets and England are right in this. Voll was so off-balance after missing that as she lay flat on her back while she stumbled. Looked ungainly and ugly. Gets up and walks off. Georgia Voll b Smith 6(7) [4s-1]
