Lauren Bell provided the dream beginning for England Women in the 3rd T20I against West Indies Women at Chelmsford on May 26, 2025. The match came alive from the first delivery of the West Indies innings – courtesy of a peach of a delivery by Bell. Having England posted a target of 145 runs from 20 overs; the pressure was already on their batters of West Indies Women. Starting the innings, Qiana Joseph had no opportunity to settle as Bell bowled a magical first ball. It was a good-length ball that landed on middle and off and then suddenly swung inwards sharply. Joseph attempted to play across the line but missed the ball completely. The ball slipped between the narrow gap between pad and bat, clattering into the stumps and sending the bails scattering. It was a jaffa – the sort of delivery which are pleasant to watch as a cricket fans.
