Then came some stability in the innings with Winfield and Hollie Armitage seeing off openers and settling in to the rest of Surrey's young attack. The pair found runs difficult to come by but Surrey should have had Armitage at slip, but the chance went down. The fifty partnership came up with a flick through square leg from Winfield. But Armitage then departed edging Cecily Scutt's left arm spin to keeper Lucy Binns for 25, 89-4. Winfield reached her 50 (85 balls) and took Yorkshire past 100 as she began to look to hit the ball over the infield Salliann Briggs holed out to cover off Jess Jackson for 4, 108-5 with plenty of overs left. Laura Spragg only last two balls before chipping one down the track for Jackson to take a good catch high above her head.
Winfield was kept off strike for a couple of overs and Phoebe Graham got to five before lifting one to the infield to give the impressive Jackson her third wicket, 115-7 and a possible upset on. Winfield went back to attacking the bowling, launching the ball to the leg side boundary with some powerful drives and sweeps. This was the innings that brought all the runs as she added 33 for the eighth wicket with Kennedy Nuttall, whose contribution was four, though Surrey dropped Winfield in the deep when she was on 70, there weren't many other chances. Nuttall was eventually run out taking a quick single to mid on by a direct hit from Jackson (to go with 3-27 from her 10) to leave Surrey 148-8. Winfield kept attacking but on 96, her luck ran out as she hoisted one towards long off, where Beth Kerins ran round and just clung on to the catch, a disappointing end to an innings that formed the bulk of the total with 15 fours. The end came soon after, Aimee Simms pushed a single square, hesitated, went and was run out by Hannah Jones's throw to Clarke for 5 with Katie Levick 4 not out, 169 all out, an achievable target if Surrey showed application.
Surrey began their chase cautiously with Spragg and Levick giving little away, apart from an early set of 5 wides from Spragg sprayed past Winfield. Sophie Pout was first to go, caught by Hazell inside the circle for two, 14-1. This brought Sciver in who started whittling down the runs required thanks to the favourable required run rate with 13 year old Hannah Jones, they saw off the opening bowlers, but Jones was out caught by Watson off Graham for 13, 44-2. Sciver then started swinging away, hitting a couple of fours straight and square down through backward square leg, as Kirsty White chipped a return catch to Hazell for 1 having helped a partnership of 31, 75-2. That was to be Hazell's only wicket despite some fierce appealing. Sciver motored along to her 50 from 60 balls, but lost Scutt lbw to Simms for 8 with 77 still remaining.
Briggs then brought back Levick from the pavilion end, and set a field with four fielders in the leg side arc, when Sciver then hit one straight to Armitage at deep midwicket to fall for 68 off 91 with 10 fours, 122-5, and it was up to Clarke and the tail to see what they could do. Kerins though, was bowled by Simms for 6 and Lucy Binns was bowled by Spragg for 4 as the score became 138-7. Clarke hit two fours to bring up the 150, and with Jackson it looked like they might do it. Briggs decided to bring on Armitage from the Vauxhall end with 17 needed from 30 and, after starting with a wide, trapped Clarke LBW next ball for 22. She then bowled Robson off stump third ball for a duck before finishing it off next over as Jackson (6) charged, missed and the ball clipped the off bail as Surrey were all out for 157 to lose by 12 runs, Armitage finishing with handy figures of 3-2 from 10 balls.
