Sophie Ecclestone is going nowhere as she wants to keep the strike and sends Smith back on a sharp call. The long on fielder, Georgia Voll, gets enough time to throw it back to the bowler, but throws it a bit wayward. Sophie Molineux moves to her left a bit and collects the ball on the bounce. She has enough time to throw the ball onto the stumps. Scores a direct hit at the non-striker's end, with Smith nowhere in the frame.
