L Duncan made a score of 24 but she was bowled by Carys Lloyd. Cheryl Hughes then got her first wicket as she had H Till caught by Rachel Sander.

Carys Lloyd then had L Bullock caught by Sander and with the next ball Hughes ran out S Short.
They weren’t done there as Hughes then also ran out K Thorn for a team hat trick and a fourth wicket in as many balls.
