- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 Wicket first ball! Smith tries to steer the back of a length ball but gets an inside edge onto the stumps. What a start for Fire 0/11.2 Chopped on. Length ball outside off, Scrivens goes for the drive but gets an inside edge back onto the stumps 3/28.4 That is a breathtaking running catch! Fired it quick on middle and leg, she loads up for a slog sweep, finds Franklin at deep midwicket who ran at the speed of light and pouched it perfectly while sprinting in from the deep, it's as good as it gets! 55/311.5 Enthusiastic appeal for stumping, good length ball came back in sharply as she tries to reverse sweep but gets it horribly wrong, Bryce removes the bails quickly and she knew she got her,that's a huge breakthrough, she lost her balance while trying that adventurous shot 72/418.3 Tries to lift it up and over square leg and got a top-edge, troubled by the extra lift of the surface and Elwiss takes the simplest of the catches at short fine 121/5Extras3 (lb 1, w 2)TOTAL130/5 (20 Overs, RR: 6.5 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Bryony Smith, 0.1 ov), 2-3 (Grace Scrivens, 1.2 ov), 3-55 (Natasha Wraith, 8.4 ov), 4-72 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 11.5 ov), 5-121 (Ashleigh Gardner, 18.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.5 Mid-off takes a stunner on the second attempt, shortish and slanted across off, chipped away tentatively, not a lot of conviction behind the shot, Gordon got her hand on it and almost grassed it, quickly recovered and showed magnificent presence of mind to make amends. Rockets get the early breakthrough they were after 4/12.4 Massive appeal for an lbw and that looks stone dead in real time! Umpire agrees and raises the dreaded finger. Beaumont doesn't even bother sending it upstairs, she knows she is in trouble. Shuffled across a touch to maneuver it across the line and couldn't lay bat on it, tough shot to execute, captain does the job! 19/26.4 Adjudged lbw! She might leak runs but takes wickets too! Vociferous appeal and umpire agrees. Hard length, kicked back and thumped her pads as she missed the pull, three reds on the DRS and she has to take the long walk back to the pavilion. That is a prize scalp because she's a dangerous customer. Trent Rockets with another timely breakthrough, keeping an upper-hand in the game. The emotion, the jubilation was massive after the wicket 49/313.3 High full-toss outside off, throws her bat at it and miscues it to backward point, Smith made the ground quickly and took a fabulous catch, that was high and not high enough to be adjudged as a no-ball, much-needed breakthrough for Rockets! She was kneeling while playing that one so looks like it's the correct call, wasn't a no-ball 87/4Extras12 (b 2, lb 1, w 9)TOTAL131/4 (19.3 Overs, RR: 6.68 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Sophia Dunkley, 0.5 ov), 2-19 (Tammy Beaumont, 2.4 ov), 3-49 (Hayley Matthews, 6.4 ov), 4-87 (Jess Jonassen, 13.3 ov)
