another on-pace delivery that thuds into the pads. They cross over for a leg-bye
Brave vs Originals, 10th Match at Southampton, Women's Hundred, Aug 18 2022 - Ball by Ball Commentary
6.09pm Southern Brave make it three and three while Originals suffer their second loss in three games. Brave got off to a shaky start in their defence of 136 but a late rally, led by Amanda-Jade Wellington and Lauren Bell, saw them home. Both bowlers varied their pace brilliantly to pin down the Originals. Lamb battled with a 45-ball 57 for Originals, but Shrubsole got her and tipped the game Brave's way. That's all we have for you from this game. Do join us for Brave Men vs Originals Men. Until next time, this is Deivarayan Muthu signing off for Ashish Pant and Chandan Duorah.
Amanda-Jade Wellington is the Match Hero: I was nervous, but I was also confident. Mandhana and Wyatt set the pace for us. I think we've had a great start and we've been at this situation many times, but this year we're taking it game-by-game. I've had a lot of practice; I was just happy to be in the CWG, here I'm getting games and landing the wrong'un in the right spot. The extra pressure of adding a slip in was crucial for us.
Shrubsole, Brave captain: I'm really proud of the girls. That was a game we probably didn't deserve to win, but we hung on and got over the line. I just let her go on with it and is a quality legspinner who spins it. The English players are not used to [that style].

full and sliding into the pads, Threlkeld can't put bat on ball
What a way to go. Griffith has been run-out at the bowler's end via a ricochet. Slower ball floated outside off, drilled in the air, McGrath sticks out her hand and finger-tips it back onto the stumps. Kind of sums up the day for Originals
on a length and outside off, slog-swept away between deep midwicket and long-on for four. Wyatt dives across to her right and dives in vain
down the track, meets a slower full-toss and swipes it down to long-on
Originals need 16 off the final set, which will be bowled by McGrath
backs away and slices this slower ball outside off to backward point. Fine set from Bell
another slower ball, more back-of-the-hand variety from Bell, brushes the pad and they hare across for a leg-bye. A direct hit could've been tight
another slower ball into the pitch, swiped away to deep midwicket. Just a single
Originals need 19 off 8 balls, with two new batters in the middle
another slower legcutter, banged into the middle of the pitch. These slower balls are sticking into this surface. Cross swings hard but can only (mis)hit it as far as mid-off
slower ball floated outside off, swing and a miss. Good legcutter from Bell
Sliced straight into the hands of Adams at short third. Nice and full, possibly a slower one, Shrubsole hides it away from the swinging arc of Lamb. She throws her bat at ball. Off the outside half to Adams for a dolly catch. Is that the game?
full on middle and leg, whipped away to deep midwicket. They hare back for the second. Clear communication this time from Originals
shortish and outside off, flayed off the back foot to sweeper cover
back of a length and outside off, swiped away in the air, lands in front of wide long-on
darted into middle, plinked into the leg side. There's a little mix-up between the wickets. Tahuhu is caught short at the bowler's end. Shrubsole takes off the bails. Nice, flat throw from Wyatt
flapped in the air, but does not carry to the keeper or short fine leg
Mandhana settles under this skier at mid-off. Tossed up liberally outside off and turns away, Ecclestone advances down the track, but is nowhere close to the pitch and ends up slicing a loft to Mandhana. Lobbed to the infielder. This is turning out to be another nice set from Amanda-Jade Wellington
swept flat and hard to deep square
dragged down on middle, pulled away to the right of deep square. Dunkley dives in vain as the ball rolls away into the leg-side fence. Lamb notches up a half-century - her first this season
heaved against the break into the leg side. Slogged away into the gap at deep midwicket for a double
