Scorer: Chandan Duorah | Commentator: Alan Gardner

5.15pm: Well, that wasn't the most satisfying, but we were bound to get a mismatch at some point. Anyway, no rest for you cric-curious types, as we've got another men's match coming up at Headingley - Northern Superchargers versus Welsh Fire, looking to live up to the high standards set by Jemimah Rodrigues in the early game. Toss news will be coming through soon, so head over

5.05pm: That's a proper smashing for Brave, who were rated by many as the favourites for this tournament but have been vaporised by the Rockets in their opener. They never got going with the bat, only lifted above a run a ball by Ross Whiteley late on, and then the bowling was sloppy, free hits and wides all over; unbeaten fifties from Dawid Malan and D'Arcy Short meant the home crowd could sup their pints in peace during the chase

Marchant de Lange takes Hero of the Match for his 5-20: "Unexpected, just delighted with the performance. Always good when you take a wicket with your first ball, so really happy. Good surface, little bit of bounce, which is good to see as a fast bowler. It's a strange one, a new tournament, but sticking to the basics, adapt, and try your level best."
