Surrey cemented their place at the top of the Women’s Vitality Blast with a thrilling four-wicket victory over the Bears at Edgbaston. Bryony Smith’s side edged to their eighth win in ten games after bowling the home side out for 139. Sterre Kalis resisted with 38 (30 balls), but wickets fell frequently to a focused attack led by Alice Davidson-Richards (three for 11) and Alexa Stonehouse (two for 23). Surrey’s batters also found the going hard, but Emma Jones hit a fluent 46 (39) before an unbroken stand of 42 in 24 balls between Davidson-Richards (28, 18) and Kalea Moore (22, 14) saw them home with two balls to spare.
