Lauren Smith to Brunt, 2 runs, another top-edge off the slog-sweep, this one travels further, travels straight to the fielder and it's dropped. Right through the palms. But the equation is now 11 off 2. Brunt needs two sixes in two. No six has been hit in this match so far

DROPPED

05:42 AM

Lauren Smith to Brunt, 2 runs, that's come right off the top-edge. She goes deep in the crease for a slog-sweep but spoons it into the vacant mid-wicket region. Only two. It's getting more and more unlikely. 13 off 3

Lauren Smith to Piepa Cleary, no run, dot ball. Dot ball. Precious. So cleverly bowled this. She saw Cleary walking a long way across and bowled it even wider to beat her as she swung across the line. Despite it being wider of the wide line, because Cleary had moved well across, the umpire doesn't give a wide

Dejected faces in the Perth Scorchers camp. They will be wondering how it all went wrong after seemingly having the chase in control around the halfway mark. But that inspirational run-out of captain Susie Bates from Lauren Smith could well have been the turning point. The well set Bolton fell soon after and things just unraveled from there with the rate continuously slipping out of control and proving to be too much in the end for a valiant Katherine Brunt. Sarah Aley was brilliant with the ball, finishing with figures of 4/23.
