Wraith reached her half-century off just 28 balls and brought the crowd to their feet with one huge six into the children’s nursery on the leg side boundary.

Natasha Wraith’s brilliant 83 helped Warwickshire Bears Women win a final ball thriller against fellow strugglers Lancashire Thunder in a dramatic match at Blackpool.

Tilly Kesteven’s 73 looked to have put Thunder well in control after some fine spin bowling from Sophie Morris and Vinali Weerappuli, who took three wickets each, had restricted the Bears, to 160-9. But a late collapse from the hosts saw them lose two wickets in the final over to lose by just one run.
