But despite the best efforts of Keune, the innings slide away, with Keune last man out, run out.

Keune’s innings was nicely paced.

He was careful when to attack, hitting nine fours and two sixes, but he also defended the good balls during his 153 ball stay at the crease.

There was a flicker of hope late when Shelly Savage rallied with 26 before she was last batter out.
