44.6

Jess Kerr to Shafali VermaFOUR MORE! 17 runs off it! An expensive one by Jess Kerr. Short in length again, jagging back in from the surface, Shafali Verma swats it with her wrists, and along the ground to beat the chasing fielder at deep mid-wicket for a boundary. Shafali Verma is looking in a good nick as she has timed the ball pretty well so far.

04.3

Jess Kerr to Shafali VermaBack of a length ball angling down the leg, Verma turns it away towards short fine.

64.2

Jess Kerr to Shafali VermaSIX! BOOM! Clean as a whistle! Jess Kerr rolls her fingers on the leather and takes on the pace off, lands it on a good length, around off, Shafali Verma brings her bat with a horizontal angle, and cleanly lofts it over the bowler's head for a cracking six.

1Nb4.2

Jess Kerr to Shafali VermaFuller-length delivery around off, Verma gets ahead and pushes it towards mid on. Uh, oh! Jess Kerr has overstepped here and it is called a NO BALL. Free Hit to follow.
