To begin with it looks as though that was going to go over the stumps but the bail wobbled and dropped off.
That is a damaging time to lose Sterre Kalis.

Kalis b Glenn 45 (Bears 140-6 The Blaze)
Another important wicket for The Blaze.
Sarah Glenn in for her final ball which Sterre Kalis looks to cut, but she misses a ball which straightened and clipped the off stump bail.
Kalis falls short of fifty and the Bears lose a key wicket at a bad time.
The England wrist spinner finishes with super figures of 3-29.

Sterre Kalis is down onto one knee and pulls Sarah Glenn down to the fine leg boundary.

Bears 119-5 The Blaze
Em Arlott dabs Kirstie Gordon into the legside and gets off the mark with a third-ball single.

Much lies on the Dutch batter now you feel with five overs to go.

Dave Bracegirdle
BBC Radio Nottingham commentatorA very easy caught and bowled for McCarthy there and that is a third wicket to go down in pretty quick succession.
From 100-2 to 113-5 the Blaze are coming back. Bears middle and lower order need to chip in here to make sure a lot of that earlier work is not wasted.
In an ideal world they could still push up to 170, but it was all going so well.

Wraith c and b McCarthy 4 (Bears 113-5 The Blaze)
With Issy Wong back in the pavilion, Sterre Kalis takes up the mantle.
Cassidy McCarthy tries a slower ball but it sits up nicely for Kalis to whip it square for four more.
But then The Blaze strike again!
McCarthy bangs one in short and Nat Wraith gets the attempted pull all wrong, as a top edge loops back to give the bowler an easy catch.
Great fightback from The Blaze - three wickets for 13 runs.

Bears 103-4 The Blaze
Nat Wraith just about survives the hat-trick ball from Sarah Glenn and it squirts away behind square for a single.

Harris c sub b Glenn 0 (Bears 100-4 The Blaze)
Two in two.
New batter Laura Harris is served up a full toss and can't resist. She mistimes it and holes out to sub Josie Groves long on.

Sarah Glenn picks up her first wicket of the day and it's a big one.

Super knock.

Bears 98-2 The Blaze
Grace Ballinger races in again but Issy Wong picks up the length brilliantly.
She plonks it into the legside and over the rope at deep midwicket for her second six.
Wong is up to 58 and The Blaze are in a spot of bother.

Nikki Chaudhuri
Commentator on BBC 5 Sports ExtraWhat striking we are witnessing from Issy Wong. It has been quite noticeable that she has been trying to use the crease, use the angles. She is looking to make space all the time.
50 for Issy Wongpublished at 11.2 overs
Bears 90-2 The Blaze
Image source, Getty ImagesIssy Wong pulls Grace Ballinger into the legside and bisects the boundary riders perfectly for four more to bring up her 50 off just 32 balls.
She's playing a great hand here,

Bears 85-2 The Blaze
Sterre Kalis skews Kathryn Bryce's third delivery high into the offside and it loops up towards Sarah Glenn but drops over her shoulder.
Issy Wong picks up a couple of twos to go to 46.

Bears 78-2 v The Blaze
Sarah Glenn in for her second over and has to make a tumbling stop to retrieve a wild throw.
Then a rare drag down from the England bowler and Sterre Kalis pulls it away for four deep square leg boundary. She's not going to miss out on that.
Kalis and Issy Wong trade singles to make it eight from the over and take us to halfway.
The partnership is up to 42 and The Blaze will be keen to separate it sooner rather than later.
Bears begin to motorpublished at 9 overs
Bears 70-2 v The Blaze
Heather Graham becomes the sixth Blaze player to have a bowl.
Sterre Kalis opens the face and tickles it down to the third man boundary for four.
Graham overcompensates and strays onto the pads of the Dutch batter and she helps it on its way for back-to-back fours.
Kalis goes to 15 from 13 - this pair are looking dangerous.

Bears 58-2 The Blaze
Kirstie Gordon overpitches slightly and Issy Wong is on to it.
She steps down the ground and launching it over the bowler's head and over the long on boundary for the first six of finals day.
A single moves her to 37 off just 23 balls before Sterre Kalis completes a productive over with another single.

Bears 47-2 v The Blaze
The powerplay is over so it's time for Sarah Glenn to turn her arm over for the first time today.
Much better calling from Issy Wong as they speed through for a couple - a wild throw didn't help the Blaze.
A brilliant diving stop behind point from skipper Kirstie Gordon saves three.
Just five from the England spinner's first over.
Bears score 42-2 from powerplaypublished at 6 overs
Bears 42-2 The Blaze
Kirstie Gordon into the attack.
Her second ball is a bit of a loosener, straying down leg an Issy Wong easily helps it around the corner for her fifth boundary.
A single then moves the Bears batter on to 25 from 16.
The skipper finds her line, length and flight and strings three straight dots together to new batter Sterre Kalis.
Decent powerplay from The Blaze, but Wong looking good.

BBC Radio Nottingham commentatorThat looked a risky, risky single. Blaze have been handed a wicket by some poor running and a poor piece of calling.
