2. 22.622.6, 6 runs

  Murray to Gibson, no run
  stock ball on a length, Gibson drops back and cloths it to mid-off
6. 22.222.2, 1 run

  dragged down slightly, 42mph and creamed off the back foot to deep cover

2. 21.621.6, 2 runs
  McCartney to Gibson, 2 runs
  short again and swung away past short fine leg, the boundary rider behind square comes around to tidy up

  McCartney to Gibson, no run
  looped up full outside off, drilled along the baize to mid-off

  McCartney to Kemp, 1 run
  round the wicket, pushed through and swatted away through the off side
6. 21.221.2, 1 run

  143/4Murray 5-0-31-1Kemp 27 (29) · Gibson 15 (13)
2. 20.620.6, dot ball
  Murray to Kemp, no run
  dropped on a length, again Kemp muscles it leg side but can't beat the fielder in close
3. 20.520.5, dot ball
  Murray to Kemp, no run
  smoked off the back foot, but picks out midwicket. Kemp is chuntering away to herself out there. Looks like she wants to be in the dressing room with her feet up
4. 20.420.4, dot ball
  Murray to Kemp, no run
  full toss, bunted back, Murray throws herself to her right and snaffles it on the bounce
5. 20.320.3, 1 run
  Murray to Gibson, 1 run
  slow and loopy, 40mph/64kph on the stumps. Gibson backs away and crunches a cut through the infield
6. 20.220.2, dot ball
  Murray to Gibson, no run
  flighted googly, pushed to mid-on
7. 20.120.1, 4 runs
  Murray to Gibson, FOUR
  tonked down the ground, bounces away! Gibson clears the front leg and goes big. Not the cleanest hit but mid-on was up and it falls safely
1. End of over 206 runs
  138/4Maguire 5-0-38-0Kemp 27 (26) · Gibson 10 (10)
2. 19.619.6, dot ball
  Maguire to Kemp, no run
  touch short, 57mph/91kph and skidding behind the pads. Kemp wanted a wide, but she had walked across - the ball well inside the blue leg-side marker for the umps
3. 19.519.5, 3 runs
  Maguire to Gibson, 3 runs
  drifting on to the pads and worked away to fine leg. Deep third, I think, ends up reeling it in before reaching the rope
4. 19.419.4, 1 run
  Maguire to Kemp, 1 run
  full outside off, pace off again, larruped out to the cover sweeper
5. 19.319.3, dot ball

  Maguire to Gibson, 1 run
  back of a length and swatted down the ground, cut off at mid-on
7. 19.219.2, 1 wide
  Maguire to Gibson, 1 wide
  another cutter, short and wide of off and Gibson can't reach it. Actually passed inside the trams, I think, but given wide
8. 19.119.1, dot ball
  Maguire to Gibson, no run
  slower delivery on off, jabbed with a high front elbow to mid-off
1. End of over 198 runs

  Murray to Gibson, no run
  better length, tossed up on off, defended
4. 18.418.4, 4 runs
  Murray to Gibson, FOUR
  full toss, clubbed to the fence! Gibson strides forward and munches this in no-nonsense fashion over cover and away
5. 18.318.3, 1 run
  Murray to Kemp, 1 run
  pushed through and whipped down the ground off the back foot
6. 18.218.2, 2 runs
  Murray to Kemp, 2 runs
  Kemp jumps out impetuously, doesn't properly connect with a slam over cover. Plugs and rolls away to the sweeper for two
