- Beaumont stars in record-breaking win
3rd over: England 16-1 (Beaumont 4, Taylor 11) Great effort from Chloe Tryon, diving to her right at mid-off to a lofted from from Beaumont but she can’t take the catch. Next ball, missed stumping off Taylor! Oh that’s a shocker. Both England players fortunate but Lizelle Lee has had a nightmare there with the gloves. Her keeping on this tour has been terrible and it could cost them big time here.
2nd over: England 13-1 (Beaumont 2, Taylor 10) Taylor didn’t get a bat the other day, shuffled down the order for the boshers after the massive start. She gets a couple to fine leg after a misfield from Ntozakhe. Then a boundary from another misfield – an even worse one – from the same fielder! Urgh! She had the perfect start picking up Wyatt but has now given the danger right-hander a start. She capitalises on it, smashing the last ball of the Kapp over through midwicket to make it back to back fours.
“Are Dani Wyatt and Tammy Beaumont the shortest opening partnership in history?” asls Peter Oxenbury from “a very sunny Taunton.” Sadly, it was short in length as well as height today for the two of them. To be fair, both have ample credit in the bank.
