- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.2 slog sweep and its caught at deep midwicket, with Brave's Lauren Bell on commentary. She goes "oh, no" as the ball went up in the air. Bouchier's looked in good touch and she would've backed herself against a tossed up delivery outside off. Matthews might just have held the pace back a bit to generate a slight mis-hit. 44/23.5 superb catch. Davidson-Richards at short-fine was leaping up, at full stretch, and she comes down with both hands around the ball. Lee will be disappointed. This was short and down leg. All she had to do was clear that fielder at 45. Couldn't. Though we're going through final checks about the legitimacy of the catch. Lee was told to wait but finally she walks off after the third umpire confirms Davidson-Richards hadn't grounded the ball as she landed. 22/116.4 Played on! Tossed up full and just outside off. Wolvaart moves a little to the off side and looks to heave it down towards long-on. Ends but getting a thick inside edge onto her stumps. Started slowly, but hit all four of her fours in the eight balls before her dismissal 112/415.1 Up and over, straight to deep midwicket! Matthews breaks the Rodrigues-Wolvaardt partnership. Tosses it up on middle from around the stumps. Rodrigues has to lean forward and use her reach to try and slog sweep it over the leg side. Looks like a long boundary and she hits it down to Kerr, who falls forward while hanging on to the ball 104/318.1 A stumping chance fluffed? Nope, given out! Matthews sees Molineux charging and darts it in to her. Molineux swings across the line but misses and is beaten on the inside edge. Chathli moves to her right, fumbles but gathers herself in time to catch the batter out of her crease 120/518.3 Straight to backward point! Full on leg, Grewcock goes for the reverse sweep. Ends up chipping it towards Norris, who does not err 121/619.2 Superb stumping this time, sensational from Chathli. Wong walks down the track and yorks herself with a full ball speared in. She fails to dig it out and the ball goes past her inside edge. She would have certainly been blinded by the batter's move and yet, Chathli does well to grab it in a single take and whips the bails off quickly 126/7Extras3 (nb 1, w 2)TOTAL126/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.3 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-22 (Lizelle Lee, 3.5 ov), 2-44 (Maia Bouchier, 7.2 ov), 3-104 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 15.1 ov), 4-112 (Laura Wolvaardt, 16.4 ov), 5-120 (Sophie Molineux, 18.1 ov), 6-121 (Jodi Grewcock, 18.3 ov), 7-126 (Issy Wong, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.2 bowled her! Matthews has been doing well with the way she's been moving around the crease to create her own angles. This time she makes too much room and isn't able to catch up with the ball on leg stump with her on the up drive. 42/116.5 Backs away to go over the off side, but misses. Lee appeals and definitely thinks there's an edge. And Brave opt for the review. They are actually celebrating. Massively flighted ball, enticing Armitage to go for the attacking shot over off. The ball is very close to the outside edge. Ultra-edge confirms the outside edge. Armitage falls with the win in sight for MI London 109/218.1 And Molineux delivers! Yorks Henry and puts her left-arm up. Spears it full and straight on off and middle, 54mph. Henry fails to squeeze it out. Well, she makes no contact with the ball.
