FOUR! Struck well through the off side! Length-delivery, just outside off, Georgia Plimmer nicely transfers her weight on the back foot and punches it through covers. Jemimah Rodrigues gives it a long chase from the inner ring to the boundary, gives her everything with the dive, but the ball wins the race eventually. Plimmer didn't try to hit it too hard, just the timing on the shot was exquisite.

WIDE! Down leg on a good length, Plimmer misses to nudge it away and the keeper, Yastika Bhatia dives low to her left and collects it nicely. Wide called.
