Great Britain v Chinese Taipei

Great Britain are the first to get on the board thanks to a Georgia Corrick home run over centre field. The world No. 16 are 2-0 ahead after three innings.

Could that be the play of the game? Bottom of the fourth and Morgan Salmon catches the line drive from Chia-Wen Shen at third before pulling off a double play, firing to Chloe Wigington to tag out Yi-Hsuan Su at first.

Pregame

The forecast for the rest of the day is also very promising.

Pleased to say after taking this stunning catch against Ireland yesterday, Botswana's Bonolo Molefhe is ok but won't participate in this tournament any further. After some rest and recuperation she will be able to play again in a couple of weeks.
