Oxfordshire slipped to a 56-run defeat against Norfolk in the ECB Women’s County Championship at Hethersett and Tas Valley CC.
Norfolk openers Peggy Tirimanna and Lois Nethersell put on 88 for the first wicket in the Division 5 East clash before leg-spinner Vicky Strode removed them both.
Oxon benefited from three run outs thanks to two throws from Emilia Bartram and one from Sam Moore, but Norfolk still reached 189-8.
The visitors were soon behind the run rate in reply, although Genny Porter gave them hope. Her 44 featured five fours and one six, but Oxon were all out for 133.
