- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.1 there's the wicket Rockets have deserved! Stonehouse hits her length again, more swing back into LWH's arc. She took on the lofty launch but could only scuff a tame lob to mid-off, where McCarthy, fittingly, was on hand to take her share of the opening spoils 13/114.3 pop goes the weasel, mark two! Lanning this time looks to take on the offbreak, but her big launch has absolutely no muscle in it, and plops simply into the hands of Nat Sciver-Brunt at long-on 78/412.1 Nailed in front of middle and leg! Never any doubt from the Rockets there! Round the wicket, curling in on the angle as Capsey lined up the pull, but was struck plumb on the knee-roll and turned immediately on her heel. The Time-out strikes! 60/214.1 pop goes the weasel! Loopy offbreak, Kapp tried to drive through the line, and managed only to tap it straight back into the bowler's hands. Easy peasy 77/315.5 urk... Legspinner done by the legspinner's wider line! Wellington looking to get a move on, but that was slower, wider, dipped as the batter advanced, and Threlkeld improves her day with a smart gather outside off and a simple stumping 86/517.4 another hack through the line, brilliant grab by McCarthy at mid-off! That had a lot of height on it, and not a lot of distance, she had to charge in and dive forward, and clung on well inches from the turf 91/618.3 tossed up outside off, so wide it would have been called as such... but Franklin wanted to get bat on ball, and managed only to skew another chance to point.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.5 goes downtown, holes out to long-on! Superb take from Gardner, doing a knee-slide on impact as she raced round behind the bowler's arm. Scholfield was advancing too, but the communication was good. The breakthrough comes but is it too late? 51/112.3 tries to go for the gallop, holes out to mid-off! Scrivens has a brain-fade and gifts her wicket away, and now we have a tussle! Scholfield didn't have to move. It was a key knock but it's over too soon for her team 75/48.4 comes down the pitch, holes out to mid-off! Crucial gun-on-gun moment, but is it too late for Invincibles? NSB tried to go large, but the pace confounded her and the looping drive plopped into the grasp of Capsey 56/211.1 chipped down the ground! Out of nowhere, Gardner looks to lift it over the ropes, but long-on was safely in place to pocket the chance! Gardner looks sheepish as she troops off, with an opening for Invincibles 71/3Extras2 (nb 2)TOTAL113/4 (16.4 Overs, RR: 6.72 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-51 (Bryony Smith, 6.5 ov), 2-56 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 8.4 ov), 3-71 (Ashleigh Gardner, 11.1 ov), 4-75 (Grace Scrivens, 12.3 ov)
