BALL 2: A left arm spinner’s dream from Nonkululeko ‘lefty’ Mlaba, that pitched on the line of middle stump, spun just enough that the ball even kissed the outside edge of Amy Jones’ bat, before it clattered into the off-stump. Mlaba won’t easily forget her maiden Test wicket.

SHOT: Thumping off drive by Sophie Dunkley off Sekhukhune past mid-off. The old down on one knee made it look picturesque.
FIVE: The number of double century partnerships in women’s Tests. Sciver’s and Davidson-Richards’ was the first since 2003.
