5:44pm That will be all from us for this game. Some more action lined up in the Hundred today, and you can keep track of it right here. Until next time, from all of us at Cricinfo, it is goodbye!

Nat Sciver-Brunt, Player of the Match: Happy to be here on the winning side. Wicket was a bit slow, they bowled pretty well in the first half. Happy to be able to come in and get going. (On her batting position and if it was tactical or injury management) A bit of both. Probably batted quite well as a side, so for the others to have a hit. And a bit of management (of my calf injury) as well. We have got a lot of people in form and high on confidence. We have balanced our side nicely, and (being) high on confidence is the main thing. (On how they intend to spend the next week) Building up to Sunday, we sort of know what we need to do. Couple of days to refresh and then back in on Thursday or Friday. We have some special fans. Great atmosphere and glad we could get a few more wins (at home) this season.

5:37pm A strange little run-chase. It began at snail's pace, with the Rockets slumping to the lowest-ever powerplay score. They then opted to hold NSB back, meaning the onus shifted solely onto Gardner. Thankfully for them, Gardner ticked along nicely through the middle, with NSB then applying the finishing touches (well, almost). The Brave gave it a proper rattle in the powerplay and with 30 balls left, perhaps had the game in their grasp too, only for NSB to snatch it away. They are still very much in this tournament, although if they want to have another crack at the Rockets this season, they will have to take the longer route.

Knott to Garth, 1 run, edged, and that will be enough for the Rockets to make it six wins on the spin! Flighted up again, on a length outside off. Garth charges down, wafts at it and gets enough on it to beat the keeper to her right. A slightly anti-climactic end but the Rockets propel themselves into the final, and they do so with another win!

Knott to Nat Sciver-Brunt, 1 run, OUT, NSB sprawls on the second, and she might just be short here! A bit of drama right at the end! Loopy full ball outside off. NSB drags her sweep into the deep mid wicket region. England's captain chances her luck on the second but even a full-length dive cannot save her. Scores level now, but NSB cannot take her side past the finish line this time!

Bell to Nat Sciver-Brunt, no run, slow and short outside off. NSB does well to reach it but cannot do much with it otherwise. Scuffed into the off side

Bell to Elwiss, 1 run, length outside off. Elwiss nurdles it into the point region and calls NSB through for the single

Over-rate penalty slapped on SB too. One less fielder allowed outside the ring

Bell to Elwiss, FOUR, Elwiss with another body blow! Very slow outside off and this sits up nicely. Elwiss, having picked it, waits for it and blitzes it past mid off!
