5.44pm Well, that was more thrilling than the fare up at Manchester... talking of which, I'd better get back to the mop-up of that contest. Til next time...

Gibb to Jones, FOUR, steps across to the off-side, spanked through backward square! What utter scenes! Blaze of glory for Jones as she picks the gap and signs off a magnificent season for the soon-to-be-defunct Blaze!
A dot to deny Blaze the treble... two to win... a single for the Super Over... buckle up!

Gibb to Jones, no run, swing and a miss, so nearly a run-out too, nearly overthrows to boot! Hampshire are also appealing for the caught-behind. Yikes. She tried to smear it off the length, missed it entirely ... and now the Super Over is loading!
Two from two... a dot here would be fun!

Gibb to Jones, 2 runs, steps to the off-side, thumped to deep midwicket ... Bouchier circles round, doesn't take on the catch, and instead saves the boundary... could she have risked it for a biscuit?

Gibb to Higham, OUT, slower ball, outside off... if she'd left it, it was a wide! Instead, she's toe-ended it to cover, and she's run herself out in pursuit of the single! My goodness, the things pressure does... Jones set off irrespective... at least she's back on strike...
LF Higham run out 4 (7b 0x4 0x6) SR: 57.14

Gibb to Jones, 1 run, back of a length, tight line, clubbed to mid-on, and they take the single. Four from four, but with Higham now on strike...

0
Gibb to Jones, no run, loops the slower ball down the track, smashed hard but back at the bowler! Priceless dot...
Daisy Gibb has the ball, with wickets you sense the only way to save this...
