Live Cricket Streaming Somerset Women vs The Blaze Women, ECB Women's One-Day Cup

The Blaze 224-6 (Beaumont 99*, Elwiss 72) beat Somerset 222-9 (Learoyd 97) by 6 wickets.

Tammy Beaumont and Georgia Elwiss posted measured half centuries to guide the Blaze to a comfortable six-wicket victory over Somerset in the Metro Bank One Day Cup women's competition at the Maer Ground in Exmouth.

Crafting her highest total of the season, Beaumont contributed an unbeaten 99 from 109 balls with 12 fours and a six and shared in a match-winning stand of 131 for the third wicket with Elwiss, who made 72 from 76 deliveries and hit 11 boundaries, as the visitors chased down a target of 223 with 10.5 overs to spare.

Anika Learoyd top-scored with a disciplined innings of 97 from 118 balls as Somerset recovered from 33-3 to post 222-9 after being put in, but Kirstie Gordon and Charley Phillips claimed 2-37 and 2-33 respectively to spearhead an impressive Blaze performance in the field. A fifth straight win enabled the Blaze to maintain their lead over Hampshire at the top of the table, while a fourth consecutive defeat saw Somerset lose further ground on the front-runners.

Skipper Gordon won the toss, inserted the home side on a drying pitch and watched her seamers make short work of the top order. Grace Ballinger created pressure at one end, while wickets fell at the other as Somerset slipped to 33-3 in an underwhelming powerplay. Phillips accounted for openers Niamh Holland and Bex Odgers and Orla Prendergast struck with her third delivery, bowling Sophie Luff via an inside edge as the Blaze applied an early stranglehold.

Australia A international Learoyd and Jess Hazell defied bowler-friendly conditions to stage a partial recovery, the fourth-wicket pair proving adept at rotating the strike as they added 53 in 14.5 overs. But just as scoring became easier, Gordon made a double intervention with her slow left arm to reduce the hosts to 96-5 and reassert East Midlands authority. Hazell had accrued 32 from 52 balls when she dragged a slanting delivery onto her stumps, while Katie Jones was lured onto the front foot and stumped by Sarah Bryce.

Things might have gone from bad to worse for Somerset had Elwiss, fielding at extra cover, not put down a presentable chance offered by Learoyd on 21 off the bowling of Prendergast. The Australia A international made the visitors pay, batting with great restraint and maturity to raise a half century from 81 balls. Demonstrating an understanding of the conditions and the situation her team found itself in, Learoyd worked the field to accrue singles and punished the bad ball when it came along, in the process providing the innings with a stabilising influence.

Finding acceleration when it was needed, Somerset's overseas hired hand brought pressure to bear on the fielding side for the first time, helping herself to 10 boundaries before falling to a brilliant return catch from Kathryn Bryce just three runs short of a hundred. Having played second fiddle in a restorative stand of 94 for the sixth wicket, Alex Griffiths opened her shoulders to contribute 43 from 58 deliveries, including the only six of the innings, as Somerset achieved respectability.

Required to make the most of the new ball, Somerset struck an early blow, Griffiths inducing Marie Kelly to chip to mid-on. Leg spinner Lola Harris then pinned Kathryn Bryce lbw in her first over from the sea end to further reduce Blaze to 48-2 in the 11th. But England batter Beaumont remained unfazed by events at the other end, mustering a series of eye-catching cover drives to afford the reply crucial momentum.

Refusing to allow herself to become tied down, new batter Elwiss demonstrated attacking intent from the outset, punishing anything short of a length and matching Beaumont blow for blow in a progressive third wicket partnership which threatened to take the game away from Somerset.

Elwiss was first to 50, reaching that landmark from 53 deliveries with 7 fours. Beaumont's half century occupied 73 balls and included six boundaries. Luff recalled leading wicket-taker Griffiths and deployed debutant off spinner Jasmine Westley in an attempt to engineer a breakthrough, but an asking rate of four an over meant the third wicket pair were able to go about their business without taking undue risks.

Westley claimed a first professional scalp, having Elwiss held by Luff at mid-wicket with the score 179-3 in the 34th, at which point the visitors required a further 44 at less than three an over. Enjoying the best of the conditions, Beaumont was left tantalisingly short of three figures as Sarah Bryce hit the winning boundary in the early-evening sunshine.

Somerset batter Anika Learoyd said: "If we're going to be honest about it, we didn't set ourselves up well enough in the first 10 overs. It was tough at 33-3, but Jess (Hazell) and I put together a decent partnership. It was a case of absorbing pressure at the same time as trying to play with intent. We focused on putting the bad ball away and it eventually became a bit easier out there. That was a big ask for me, because I'm not renowned for my patience. I held my cards a little bit closer to my chest for a little longer than I would usually have done. I was able to expand when Alex Griffiths joined me, but we were 40 or 50 short and it was always going to be difficult to defend 222. Tammy Beaumont was telling me she had not made a decent score all season, but she looked a level above everyone else in this game. We're lacking momentum right now and the next game at Durham is going to be really important for us."

Blaze batter Tammy Beaumont said: "I'm not worried about being left on 99 not out. I would never have been forgiven had I ended up with a hundred and we'd missed out on the bonus point. I needed that innings, because I've had a disappointing season so far with a run of low scores coming into this game. Fortunately, I was able to pay back those who have shown faith in me and put a big stand together with Georgia (Elwiss). But our bowlers set things up for us with Grace Ballinger and Charley Phillips outstanding with the new ball. One creates pressure and the other takes the wickets - it's been like that all season. It really does help when we are able to restrict the opposition and stop them reaching a par score. That's five wins on the bounce and we're in a really good place ahead of an important game against Hampshire."

Warwickshire Women defeated Lancashire Women by four wickets in a Metro Bank One Day Cup game at Southport reduced to 42 overs per side due to rain.

Chasing a target of 227, Charis Pavely, the leading run scorer in the competition, made 63 – the top score in the match – before a brilliant, unbeaten seventh wicket stand of 75 off 66 balls between Mary Taylor (42 not out) and Nat Wraith (34 not out) clinched victory with 9 balls to spare as Warwickshire finished on 230-6.

Lancashire made 226-9 after being put in to bat with the bulk of the runs coming from skipper Ellie Threlkeld (39) and Maddie Penna (38) during a third wicket partnership of 83. Cross marshalled the lower order adroitly in making 34 off 33 balls while Taylor returned her best Warwickshire bowling figures of 3-47 and both Phoebe Brett and Georgia Davis took two wickets apiece.

Cross struck early in the Warwickshire reply bowling Amu Surenkumar for 4, but Georgia Redmayne, the Australian overseas player brought into the side for two games ahead of the start of the T20s, batted with assurance until edging behind off Grace Potts for 28 with the visitors 45-2 at the start of the 12th over. Pavely and Meg Austin added 49 in 7 overs with Pavely hitting a six and two fours as 17 runs were taken from Grace Johnson in the 18th over. Cross returned to snare Austin for 22 but a 36-run stand for the fourth wicket between Pavely and Abbey Freeborn took Warwickshire to 130-4 in the 28th over. Freeborn was well caught by Potts at fine leg for 20 and Chloe Brewer run out for 3 by Penna just after Pavely had reached a 49-ball fifty with 88 required from 73 balls. As the rate required increased, Pavely hit out but fell for 63 caught by Cross off Norris in the 32nd over but with the game in the balance, Wraith and Taylor kept Warwickshire in the hunt with a scintillating partnership, much of it made as rain fell steadily. It was Taylor who struck the winning runs in the 41st over as the sunny conditions returned.

Eve Jones and Seren Smale posted a steady opening partnership of 36 for Lancashire before both fell in quick succession, Jones edging Taylor to first slip for 19 followed by Smale lbw to left arm spinner Phoebe Brett for 14. Threlkeld and Penna produced an excellent partnership to rebuild, both driving down the ground with purpose to take the score to 120-2 in the 24th over. Davis took two wickets in six balls as both set batters departed to ambitious shots, Penna bowled for 38 reverse sweeping and Threlkeld caught at short extra cover on the drive for 39. Fi Morris (21), Ailsa Lister (27) and Cross, with a hard hitting 34, put some impetus into the remainder of the hosts innings despite further wickets for Brett (2-35) and Taylor. That helped the Lancashire lower order take 63 from the final ten overs to reach 226-9 but Warwickshire chased it down impressively.

Francesca Sweet’s maiden half-century for Hampshire - a well-paced 50 - helped her new county claim a rain-affected Metro Bank One-Day Cup victory over Yorkshire at a Clifton Park venue where she scored runs before.

Almost a year ago to the day in York, 21-year-old Sweet impressed with a Tier 2 fifty for Leicestershire in a 50-over defeat against Yorkshire.

On this occasion, she was on the right end of the result as last year’s One-Day Cup finalists totalled 205 for seven from 38 overs and then comfortably defended an adjusted target of 213 to claim their fifth win in seven matches and consolidate second place in the table.

Opening batter Ella McCaughan top-scored for Hampshire with a composed 51 before Yorkshire responded with 196 for eight. Amanda-Jade Wellington’s leg-spin returned one for 31 from eight overs added to an earlier 41 not out. Hampshire won by 16 runs on DLS.

Yorkshire were in a position of health, with their visitors 127 for five from 29.1 overs before a rain delay of nearly 90 minutes.

The overs had been reduced a couple of times already, and this time down to 38 overs per side.

In the final 8.5, tall right-hander Sweet and Australian overseas Wellington scored the bulk of another 78 runs added.

Wellington hit five fours in 27 balls, while Sweet’s first Hampshire innings - in her third appearance - also saw her hit a handful of boundaries in 57 balls. She was particularly strong over cover.

Aussie Jonassen continued her excellent start to life with the White Rose. She has contributed with both ball and bat this season.

Two Hampshire wickets fell immediately before the players left the field for rain - there was even some hail at one point - following a delayed start until 10.45am. McCaughan was one and her opening partner Rhianna Southby another.

Southby was first - caught at deep square-leg on the pull against the seam of Ines Blackwell for 31, breaking a 12.2-over first-wicket partnership.

Composed McCaughan later fell caught at midwicket off Maddie Ward’s spin - 127 for five in the 30th.

Jonassen’s trio of wickets had left Hampshire at 93 for four in the 22nd over.

She had Abi Norgrove caught and bowled, the batter undone by extra bounce and a top-edge.

She then had returning Hampshire captain Georgia Adams caught at short mid-wicket for one before getting left-handed Naomi Dattani caught behind playing back.

Adams was playing only her second game of the season following a month out with a quad injury.

After Sweet and Wellington had shared a sixth-wicket 72, Yorkshire’s openers Lauren Winfield-Hill and Georgie Boyce shared 63 inside 13 overs.

But when both fell in the space of three balls to Dattani’s left-arm swing and Wellington’s leg-spin - Boyce caught behind for 22, Winfield-Hill stumped on 35 - Hampshire were back in business.

And for Yorkshire, that opening stand was as good as it got as they slipped to a fourth defeat in seven.

Jonassen miscued Poppy Tulloch’s seam to mid-off shortly afterwards and Adams’ off-spin removed Ami Campbell - 85 for four in the 20th.

From there, Hampshire were ruthless. They squeezed impressively despite Sterre Kalis’s 46.

Bex Tyson’s left-arm spin accounted for two wickets and Dattani struck again before Beth Langston and Grace Hall added respectively for the hosts, taking it down to 24 needed off the last over from Adams.
