The first ball of the 34th over in the Indian innings from Georgia Wareham was tossed up on the off stump with some dip on it. Jemimah Rodrigues, who was eyeing the lofted inside-out shot over the head of the cover fielder, couldn’t execute it well, finding Phoebe Litchfield, who dived full stretch to her right to complete an impressive catch.
