That’s it from me, thanks for your company and comments. Raf Nicholson’s report will be along very shortly and we’ll be back to OBO the second match of the series from Northampton on Wednesday, it’s a 1pm start for that one.

Goodnight!

Charlie Dean is named player of the match and she looks elated after getting her side home at the end.

One from one, and a brilliant start from us. To restrict them to 200 made it more do-able for us. To be not out at the end with Tilly (Corteen-Coleman) was fantastic and what a day she’s had there, too.

She came in with a plan, she takes everything in her stride. She held her nerve and was brilliant with ball and bat. With the ball, Maddy [Green] and Melie [Kerr] had a brilliant partnership but we felt we could stay patient, and those wickets at the death made it easier for us.”
