England Women vs New Zealand Women, 27th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Smith to Bates, out Caught by (sub)Lamb!! Oh dear! Not the ideal way to go. Bates missed out on a couple of juicy full tosses in the last over and she makes a meal of this one too. Full toss that dipped enough wide of off stump, Bates goes really hard on the flat-bat slap and ends up chipping a dolly of a catch to Lamb at mid-off. Telly umpire checks for a possible no-ball and it's dipping enough to below the waist. That was a clear case of the ball slipping out of Smith's palm there. Bates c (sub)Lamb b Smith 10(16) [4s-2]
