Held ball on Langman, Lightning were just starting to chip the scoreline back
Fever all over Lightning here. 19-10
Maweni vs Fowlers I proving ot be a mismatch in most cases let alone Pretorius and Fowler. Lightning need Maweni to stay on Fowler, she is getting caught switching players with Pretorius and its not good.
I think Lightning should test Anika Lee-Jones in the 2nd quarter, see if it works. If not, you still have a half of netball to bring back the score with your usual lineup1/4 time: Fever 21-12
Koenen 5/5 (100%)
Wood 3/4 (75%) 2/3 (67%)Fowler 16/16 (100%)
Teague-Neeld 3/4 (75%) 1/1 (100%)An even start, but from about the 4 minute mark, Fever dominated. Great defence forcing Lightning errors, and then clinical finishing at the other end.
Pretty sure that was a massive obstruction by Francis on Wood’s miss.
Nearly 5 minutes into the second, Fever lead 26-13, already starting to blow out

Lightning getting some good plays in here. Three in a row.
Fowler tried to get moving, split up the 2 on 1, ended up causing a turnover with the passing outA couple of Fever turnovers in a row, has the score at 26-16.
It’s still 8 turnovers to 3 against Lightning.
Lightning 2 on 1 paying dividends, great transition into attack and they finish it off nicely. Scoreline back to single digits
At the moment Fever has just one weakness, ATN’s sudden willingness to take shots. She’s missed 4 attempts and only one of them has been rebounded by Fowler. If not for that, the margin would be even greater.
Wood hesitated on a super shot and decided to pass out, unfortunately, it caused a turnover. The lightning attack doesn’t seem to know what they are doing. Maybe we’ll see Proscovia come on?
Woods shooting is not good today. 64% in normal time and 40% for supershots. It is costing lIghtnign because they win the ball back but can’t convert
Half Time: Fever lead 39-23
Can the Lightning keep it under 30
Langman having a tense conversation with the umpires about lack of advantage and contact calls on players charging out from the line on centre passes, and the contacts coming especially from Charles. Asked the umpires to get a bit more into those calls because she’s getting pushed from behind by Charles.
In Wood’s on-court interview she has just said that they are getting a lot of shoves on the body and the umpire’s calls aren’t coming (or something along the lines of that). I think she said something after that thugh about having to just continue on and about areas of her game that she needs to work on.
And now Bruce is approaching the umpires but we can’t watch because ad break time.
