Tahlia McGrath to Iram Javed, DROPPED! Second one in this innings and this was definitely a lot easier. A length ball, around off, Javed looked to go big, down the ground. But the ball holds onto the surface and the batter mistimes it back to the bowler. Tahlia McGrath is not quite ready for it, as she is moving to her left in her followthrough while the ball comes to her right. She tries to adjust but then, reacts a bit too quickly. The ball comes pretty late and she fumbles. Tries to take it in the second attempt but fumbles.
