    0.1 clean through, and that is a dream start for Grace Ballinger! This is a beautiful delivery. Starting on a length on off and then curving back in devilishly. Scholfield does not get to the pitch of the ball and wafts at it, leaving a massive gap between bat and pad. The ball waltzes through and then crashes into the stumps. Scholfield a little bewildered as she walks off, and the experiment to change up their opening combination has not quite worked for the Invincibles! 0/1
    11.5 big lbw shout, and given! Reviewed by Lanning! Fired in on a length on middle and leg. Lanning plays the flatter trajectory and stays back. The ball skids on after pitching and rushes Lanning on her attempted dink into the on side. She seems to get rapped on the back leg, and the only question here is whether this was sliding down. No bat involved, and Ball Tracking reckons the ball would have clipped the outside part of leg stump. Umpire's Call, and Lanning has to go after an uncharacteristically scratchy knock! 64/4
    4.2 soft dismissal, and Cross is on the board too! Thrown up fuller and wider, enticing Capsey into the lofted inside-out drive. She gets it completely wrong, though, and slices across it too much. Might have come off the toe-end too because of how far she had to reach out, and all she does is pick Armitage at extra cover out to perfection! 19/2
    8.2 middle stump knocked back, and Sutherland wins round one of the battle of the all-rounders! This is zipped in full on middle stump, and seems to shape away just a smidgen. That happens very late and it also squares up Kapp as she is looking to play down the wrong. The ball sneaks past her bat and then crashes into the stumps. Sutherland has her first, and the Superchargers firmly on top now! 39/3
    18.2 miscued, and taken at long on! Slower ball on a fullish length just outside off. Winfield-Hill does not pick the variation and is too early into the stroke. Has to reach out in front too, meaning she does not time it at all. Cross charges in, lunges forward and snares a sharp chance. Decent cameo by the skipper but now, someone else will have to take OI past 125! 110/5

    19.2 dragged on, and no need for a fielder this time! This is another very, very wide delivery. Much, much fuller too and almost ends up being a yorker. Wellington, having shimmied across, looks to flick it away but all she does is drag it onto her stumps. Not sure if she will be able to do that if she tried again, but Cross has a beaming smile on her face and will not mind an iota! 122/6

    5.3 another miscue, and Perrin has been put out of her misery! This has been a very scratchy innings and ends in that fashion too. Hard length, which angles into leg stump and cramps Perrin for room. She hacks at it anyway and the ball skews up off the top edge. Smale runs back a little from mid wicket and does the rest! 37/1
    12.3 popped back to Smale, and that is a wicket the Invincibles really needed! Back of a length on middle and off. Holds in the surface a little and ADR is a tad early into her punch. Bunts it uppishly towards the bowler, who watches it all the way, despite being in close proximity to the non-striker, and gobbles up the chance. She is pumped, and the Invincibles might have a window of opportunity here! 84/2
    13.1 goes straight up, and Wellington gets rid of Litchfield! Googly fizzed through on a length just outside off, and Litchfield, for a change, makes a mess of the switch hit. Not quite to the pitch of the ball, and that means the ball loops up off the top edge. Anderson, on as a sub, settles under it at short third and does the rest. Is this game turning? 85/3
