Fire vs Brave, 17th Match at Cardiff, Women's Hundred, Aug 12 2023 - Ball by Ball Commentary

Big lbw appeal. Not given. Ball deflects off the pad to cover and Shrubsole steals a single. No review left for Fire and Brave hurtle to a win. Was a length ball from wide of the crease that pitched outside off and angled in sharply to beat the flick. Hawk-Eye shows it would have gone down leg.

Ismail misses the direct hit with underarm throw and the game has been tied!. Brown tried to tuck the full ball to the leg side. It deflected off the pad and Ismail got across to her diagonal right, picked up the ball and rolled it towards the stumps. Misses it by a bit and now Brave can't lose

They try to steal two but the throw at the non-striker's end is sharp. Ismail takes the bails off in a flash. Southby isn't close. Third umpire gives it out. One run taken, Brown back on strike. Length ball was forced to deep midwicket with the horizontal bat.

Too quick for Brown and Bryce! Back of length zipping in just down leg, Brown swung across and missed it. Bryce went low to the left and couldn't lay glove on it. She's disappointed but Brave will take those!

Pacy bouncer at 73mph is pulled into the acreage at midwicket, Harris runs across from long-on and Brown didn't get off to a quick start. But she was able to make it as the fielder couldn't charge in quickly enough.

Davies runs out Moore at the non-striker's end. Full outside off, Moore tried to whack it towards mid-on. Hit it into the pitch and the ball skewed to the right of Davies. She ran across and underarmed the ball straight into the stumps. Moore was on one knee and had to spring up before taking off. Great clarity from Davies.

Low full toss angles in towards Adams. She whips it flat in the air but hits it straight to Dunkley at deep midwicket! Another twist. Dunkley is chuffed. Beaumont tries to remain calm.

Too full. The slower one is thrashed over long-on. Ismail jumped as high as she could but was not able to reach it

Slower one into the pitch, pulled to deep midwicket

Comes down and gets followed by a 63mph length ball, tries to hammer it. Gets it off the bottom of the bat to long-on

Swipes across, gets a decent connection and it races along the ground but Dunkley is square at deep midwicket. Goes right to her

Pulls the shortish ball into the grass on the leg side. Gets it a few metres to the left of deep square leg

Stands in front of off stump and clobbers it wide of midwicket. Got deep in the crease and swooshed it away, went well to the right of deep midwicket

Chipped over wide mid-off. Deep extra cover is too wide. Adams took a couple of steps down the ground, was able to stay leg side of the ball and drove it with a high follow-through

Full around off, driven to cover

Dunkley takes a great low catch to send back Tryon. She didn't spot it at first, her hands were searching as she strode to the right. But once she did, she got on the right knee and took it well. The ball was full and following Tryon as she made room, she swung across. Hit it flat in the air but couldn't place it in the gap

Makes room and gets followed by a bumper around head-height. Tryon swings hard and the ball brushes the helmet and goes to the keeper

Fullish ball on middle. Wide of the crease again. Stirred to long-on

Slow on a length from wide of the crease. Pulled from middle stump to deep midwicket. Tryon stayed leg side and tried powering it through but had no pace to work with

Length on off, makes room and bunts to cover with the horizontal bat
