That shot brings up Perry’s 15th WBBL half-century. 3.43am GMT WBBL: 12 overs: Sixers 99-0 v Stars (Perry 44, Healy 51) That’s 50 for Healy, from just 29 balls.

Superb partnership batting. 3.36am GMT WBBL: 10 overs: Sixers 83-0 v Stars (Perry 41, Healy 38) The first update from the WBBL is to tell you what you already know, that Ellyse Perry and Alyssa Healy are terrifyingly good at cricket.
