Scorer: Binoy George | Commentator: @PeterDellaPenna
5.50 pm Welsh Fire continue to struggle and remain winless on the season whereas the Southern Brave continue to maintain an undefeated record at the top of the table with four wins from four matches.
Sophia Dunkley is the Hero of the Match: "I just tried to bat through the innings and be positive and anchor it a bit. It was a tricky pitch with the rain. But getting a score on that, we had the bowlers to defend it. I think our bowlers were outstanding today, reading the conditions from ball one."
That's it for today's coverage of this women's match. Flick over to the men's match feed for coverage of the second half of today's doubleheader between Welsh Fire and Southern Brave. On behalf of my commentary partner Ashish Pant, I'm Peter Della Penna. Take care!

Shrubsole to Bryce, 1 run, OUT, full on off, heaved to deep midwicket for one. She wants to keep running a second to keep strike even though mathematically they can't win. Hartley doesn't get the memo and stays put. The relay to the bowler's end catches Bryce short trying to get back and that's all she wrote. A win for Southern Brave.

Kemp to Bryce, FOUR, loopy low full toss on the body, Bryce waits for it and heaves this out to deep backward square leg. Dunkley charges in going for a catch, doesn't get there and compounds the error by allowing the ball to get past her to the rope for four.
