- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 Mady Villiers clings onto an absolute screamer! Wow. Superb work at short midwicket. Back of a length, a bit of width outside off stump, and Smith looks to drag it away over the leg side. Not out of the middle but a decent connection on it, and Villiers throws herself athletically over her left shoulder to take a one-handed blinder. Outrageous fielding. Kapp has 2 for 2 in 8! 2/21.1 and that'll do nicely! Scrivens backs away, outside leg stump, trying to manufacture something with only one run on the board. She looks to flash a length ball away through the off side but it skids through low, under the bat, and rips her off stump out the ground! 1/18.4 Kapp gets her third! 73mph, skids into middle and leg! On a length, angling in. Wraith looks to swing across the line which is a big risk on this pitch, and trudges off as she hears the stumps rattle 46/42.3 keeps low and crashes into the stumps! Rockets are blowing up on the launchpad! That is a proper grubber, hardly gets up at all. Angled across the right-hander, NSB looks to swing leg-side but the ball shoots through low into the bottom of the stumps. The old-fashioned gazunder... and it gazunder the bottom of the bat 3/310.2 chipped back to the bowler! Huge moment in both teams' seasons. Gardner has scored 70% of the Rockets' runs today but finally mistimes one. Shuffles down looking to work through mid-on but miscues it low back to the bowler. Excellent low catch off her own bowling 60/513.2 crashes into off stump! Angling across the right-hander, holds its line and pings into the outside half of off stump as Graham looks to work into the leg side, playing across the line. Simple and effective! 68/616.1 superb diving catch by Macdonald-Gay! Leading edge pops up into the off side, and the backward point fielder flings herself to her right and takes a speccie 77/716.4 chipped back for a straightforward caught-and-bowled! Speared in halfway down, keeps low, and Groves pops up a simple chance with a leading edge. Loops up, and Smale makes no mistake 77/8Extras3 (b 2, w 1)TOTAL91/8 (20 Overs, RR: 4.55 per 6 ball)Did not bat: KL GordonFall of wickets: 1-1 (Grace Scrivens, 1.1 ov), 2-2 (Bryony Smith, 1.3 ov), 3-3 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 2.3 ov), 4-46 (Natasha Wraith, 8.4 ov), 5-60 (Ashleigh Gardner, 10.2 ov), 6-68 (Heather Graham, 13.2 ov), 7-77 (Katie George, 16.1 ov), 8-77 (Josie Groves, 16.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.3 Heather Graham gets Stonehouse out of jail! Gardner floats one up, Chamari takes the bait and tries to pump over long off, but she finds the fielder "perfectly" 18/17.5 Gone! Full, on off stump, Winfield-Hill tries to paddle it around the corner but ends up wearing it right in front.There's a conversation with Capsey but she's on her way. Very plumb 33/28.1 WHAT A BALL! Alana King, you've done it again! And it's Capsey... Drifts outside leg, dragging Capsey down to meet the ball, pitching, then spinning into the top of off! That might be better than the Bess Heath delivery, you know... 33/317.1 Stonehouse takes the catch this time! Gamble pays off in this instance for Sciver-Brunt, as Scholfield tries to slog out to the deep on the leg side but skews one in the air... taken at midwicket 84/418.1 Gone! Stumped! Oh my days... Villiers charges down, misses as the ball turns through her and Natasha Wraith gathers cleanly outside leg stump before taking the bails off! 85/5Extras7 (lb 1, w 6)TOTAL92/5 (18.4 Overs, RR: 4.89 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (Chamari Athapaththu, 3.3 ov), 2-33 (Lauren Winfield-Hill, 7.5 ov), 3-33 (Alice Capsey, 8.1 ov), 4-84 (Paige Scholfield, 17.1 ov), 5-85 (Mady Villiers, 18.1 ov)
