Lancashire’s Grace Potts bowled superbly to take a career-best 5-20 as The Blaze were restricted to 135-9 despite Beaumont’s 59 off 40 balls, which included eight fours.<\/p>\n
But the feat was trumped by Australian all-rounder Knott who turned the game with a triple-wicket maiden in the seventh over of Thunder’s reply, including the key dismissal of her compatriot Meg Lanning (21).<\/p>\n
Threlkeld kept the visitors in the hunt with 49 from just 36 balls, but she fell to Grace Ballinger (2-26) in the 17th over attempting a sixth boundary.<\/p>\n
Georgia Elwiss (3-12) then cleaned up the tail to give Blaze a fifth win from six and move them a point clear of Surrey.<\/p>\n
A fourth win in five games for Somerset was underpinned by spinners Liv Barnes (2-20) and Chloe Skelton (2-26) as Warwickshire were restricted to 123-8.<\/p>\n
Meg Austin and Mary Taylor top-scored with 31 apiece, but the visitors, who had won the toss, struggled to build partnerships.<\/p>\n
Bex Odgers got the reply off to a flyer with 25 off 16 balls, including five boundaries, before Holland took over, helping Somerset rack up 52-2 in the powerplay.<\/p>\n
The in-form all-rounder struck five boundaries in a 31-ball knock of 42 and dominated a third-wicket stand of 54 with Anika Learoyd (20) as the hosts condemned Warwickshire to a sixth successive defeat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lancashire’s Grace Potts bowled superbly to take a career-best 5-20 as The Blaze were restricted to 135-9 despite…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":626363,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-626362","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/626362","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=626362"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/626362\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/626363"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=626362"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=626362"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=626362"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
