Meg Lanning 93(170)
65.4
Sciver to Lanning, out Caught by Knight!! You do not get too many opportunities to make amends in Test cricket, but Heather Knight will count herself very lucky. Dropped Lanning on 15, she finally gets her this time. The full away swinger in the outside off corridor, forcing Lanning to go with hard hands on the drive, the edge has been found and the England skipper snaffles it with a diving effort low to her right.
