Still, Lancashire needed to score at nearly six an over in their chase, and a mix-up between Lewis and fellow opener Alice Clarke saw Clarke run out with only 20 on the board.<\/p>\n
But Lewis and Smale broke the back of the innings with their composed partnership, although they survived a couple of close run-out calls before Smale fell to a good diving catch by Kemp at short mid-wicket off Mary Taylor.<\/p>\n
And when Fi Morris was run out for nine, Lancashire were 183-3 with the required rate at more than seven-and-a-half.<\/p>\n
However, captain Ellie Threlkeld added real impetus with 32 off 30 balls in a partnership of 60 with Lewis, until she fell to Freya Davies.<\/p>\n
But as long as Lewis was at the crease, Lancashire remained favourites. She reached her century from 121 balls before going on the charge to record her highest List-A score.<\/p>\n
