- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.3 appeal for a stumping! Back of a length just outside off. Dunkley gets her front foot out of the way and swipes at it agriculturally. Jones is quick to whip off the bails once Dunkley misses, and Jones might have done really well here. Dunkley's back toe is grounded but her heel is not grounded behind the crease. A shade short, and Kapp has sent back both openers! 34/21.1 timmmmbbberrrr, and Kapp is on the board early! The ploy to bowl Kapp ten on the trot works a charm. Back of a length on middle and off. Mooney stays back and looks to stab it away. The ball shapes in late and that is enough to topple the top of middle. Kapp is chuffed, and the Rockets lose their star overseas opener! 1/18.3 leg stump out of the ground, and Kapp has three! Zinged in on a length on middle and leg. Luff shuffles across to play the sweep but the ball keeps coming in with the angle. Misses it altogether and her leg stump is left in a mess soon after. A handy cameo, but one that has, perhaps inevitably, been ended by Kapp! 65/312.3 holes out to deep mid wicket, and captain gets captain! Slowed up a little on a length on off. Gardner marches down but is not to the pitch of the ball. Swipes at it and does not get hold of it completely. Into the breeze too and deep mid wicket makes no mistake. Big, big wicket! 95/59.5 well, this does carry, and Dean is on the board too! Back of a length just outside off. A bit of hold in the surface and this stands up too. Adams checks her back-foot punch but all she manages is a tame chip back to the bowler. Easiest of return catches for the LS skipper, and the visitors keep chipping away! 71/418.1 taken at long on! Pushed in on a back of a length on middle and off. Jones looks to go downtown but does not have the room to swing her arms fully. A slightly half-hearted effort in the end and the simplest of catches for Harris at long on! 130/6Extras8 (b 1, lb 2, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL142/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.1 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Beth Mooney, 1.1 ov), 2-34 (Sophia Dunkley, 4.3 ov), 3-65 (Sophie Luff, 8.3 ov), 4-71 (Georgia Adams, 9.5 ov), 5-95 (Ashleigh Gardner, 12.3 ov), 6-130 (Georgia Elwiss, 17.4 ov), 7-130 (Emma Jones, 17.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.4 does her all ends up, and Harris perishes! Looped up on a length outside off and plenty of overspin on this. Harris looks to go downtown but is nowhere near the pitch of the ball. Swishes at it anyway and the ball floats off the outer half of the bat. Snared by Luff at cover point, and Gardner pops up with a crucial breakthrough! 55/18.3 shanked to deep mid wicket and both openers back in the shed now! Into the track outside off and this seems to stick in the surface. Jones swipes at it but does not muster the requisite power. Easy take for Emma Jones on the fence, and the Rockets establishing a foothold in the contest now! 61/217.3 stumped by a mile, and Kelly has to go! Bates holds her nerve and hangs this up on a length outside off. A bit of grip and the ball spins enough to go past Kelly's swish. Mooney collects and effects the stumping, with the batter well short. Kelly walks back, but has the damage already been done? 130/59.3 scooped straight to short fine, and the Spirit losing their way now! Lobbed up on a length on middle and off. Kapp gets down low but does not have enough pace to work with. Tries the lap irrespective and only finds Bates inside the ring. Rockets tightening their grip on this game! 63/310.1 you miss, I hit, says Gardner! Back of a length on middle and leg. Spins into the batter and Kalos, looking to mow it over cow corner, misses it completely. Leg stump knocked back and the Spirit, from a position of relative strength, are now four down! 67/4Extras4 (lb 1, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL146/5 (19.2 Overs, RR: 7.52 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-55 (Grace Harris, 6.4 ov), 2-61 (Amy Jones, 8.3 ov), 3-63 (Marizanne Kapp, 9.3 ov), 4-67 (Sterre Kalis, 10.1 ov), 5-130 (Marie Kelly, 17.3 ov)
