And then we dropped her first ball of the 9th over, which felt like the game right there. Fortunately Fraser clung on to the return off the last.ball. Good catch. We needed that. Jones was teeing off

[Durhamfootman]

We’ve gone pace off early

[Durhamfootman]

One brings two. Beaumont top edges one straight up for an easy catch

[captaincolly]

Need a couple of quick wickets. 96/2 and they loom comfortable.

[Durhamfootman]

Villiers put down a return catch off K.Bryce

[Durhamfootman]

It was straight at her too

[Durhamfootman]

They’ve just gone past our 25 over score in 19 overs

[Durhamfootman]

After Katie Levick bowled 3 wides and a full toss in an over and then Villiers got creamed for 4 and followed it up with a wide, I decided to call it a day. I figured that they'd beat us with 15 overs to spare, but I see that they actually did it with 12

[Durhamfootman]

oh crikey, this will be interesting

Surrey women are currently 233-2 off 38 overs and they must be looking at 300+

Not sure we have the firepower to chase that sort of total down, but I guess we'll see

playing at Beckenham, which I know nothing about, so it might be a tiny ground, for all I know...... IPL proportions perhaps

[Durhamfootman]

Although Alice Capsey has just holed out, so maybe there's an opportunity here to slow the rate down a bit

[Durhamfootman]

we certainly won't be able to afford losing Bates early like we did on Sunday

[Durhamfootman]

348!

'kin 'ell

even if we assume that they are playing on a subbuteo pitch, scorecard pressure will probably wreak havoc on our reply. No taking a few overs to get your eye in with a total like that

[Durhamfootman]

Surrey scored 90 off their last 8 overs

[Durhamfootman]

70-3 after 12 overs including a first baller for Hollie Armitage

It's a struggle. I reckon we could easily lose this by 150 runs.... maybe even 200 runs

[Durhamfootman]

200-8 and we have no batting left

With all these England internationals on show, ain't it typical that of our two, one can't buy a run and the other is out injured
