Enjoyable day in the Ch le St sunshine. Just felt The Blaze had that bit extra nous and skill throughout the game. Impressive batting from Armitage and bowling from Phoebe 'Tina' Turner.

I noticed them all saying "come on Tina”. Took me a minute to twig on it was Phoebe Turner 😉

Only saw the Blaze innings but was impressed by the Durham fielding and the quality of the Blaze batting
 
Notts had a formidable batting line up. The Malone drop when Jones spooned one up didn't cost us as much as I thought it would, but the Villiers drop off Bryce (K) certainly did. It was hit straight back to her at a comfortable height and I couldn't understand why the girls weren't celebrating as loudly as me.... until I saw the ball on the floor.

Notts bowled better than we did, they pierced the inner field a lot easier than we did and they were more competent in the field. Even when we hit the ball hard, they managed to stop a lot of singles. Outplayed today. You know we're in trouble when a bowler as experienced as Katie Levick bowls 3 wides in one over.... and then follows them up with a rank full toss

I couldn't understand why Villiers came in at 4, but she took an age to get going, so maybe that was why. I was disappointed with the Bess Heath dismissal. Gave herself no time to get her eye in before she pulled the reverse out and got herself bowled by Glenn. It felt to me as though the other Blaze leggie was only brought on so that Glenn could switch ends, and then Villiers hammered her first ball straight down Glenn's throat (Bates did the same) and from that point onwards the slide started. Up to that point I was sanguine that we were going to get to 250. In the end it was by no means certain that we'd get to 200, even when only 5 runs were needed with 3 wickets left.

I have enjoyed these 2 matches though
