- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR16.5 plumb in front, and Bouchier departs too! Zipped in full on middle and off. Bouchier shapes for the reverse and then misses it completely. Seemed adjacent enough and Bouchier runs out of time to review, although it must be added that she was happy to walk off initially. Anyway, Bouchier has to go for 38, and the Rockets keep chipping away! 99/39.2 gone this time! Seems like another change-up, and this back of a length delivery outside off holds in the surface. Lee has to fetch it and miscues it completely because she is early into the stroke. Phillips misjudges it a touch but takes it bending forward at deep mid wicket. Vital wicket for the Rockets! 49/115.4 popped to mid off, and Wolvaardt has to go! Hard length on middle and off, and this seems to stand up a little. Some tennis-ball bounce and the ball hits high on the bat as Wolvaardt looks to go downtown. A tame chip to Gardner, and the Brave skipper has to walk back for a scratchy 21-ball 24! 95/217.1 knocks her over first ball! Fizzed through on a back of a length on off. Grewcock hangs back and then plays for the ball coming in with the arm. The ball, though, straightens just a shade, breezes past the bat and then topples the off bail. Adams on a hat-trick now! 99/418.1 castled! Darted in very full on middle and leg. Franklin shuffles across a week early and is then unable to access the ball. Plays all around it and hears the rattling of middle stump soon after. Bates on the wickets board too! 102/5Extras4 (b 1, w 3)TOTAL117/5 (20 Overs, RR: 5.85 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-49 (Lizelle Lee, 9.2 ov), 2-95 (Laura Wolvaardt, 15.4 ov), 3-99 (Maia Bouchier, 16.5 ov), 4-99 (Jodi Grewcock, 17.1 ov), 5-102 (Phoebe Franklin, 18.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 through Dunkley this time! Looped up on a length on middle and off. Dunkley backs away and swings for the hills. Loses shape fully and the ball straightens enough to beat the bat and crash into the stumps. TCC on the board early and successive low scores for Dunkley! 2/14.5 goes straight up, and taken! Back of a length, tucking up the batter outside leg. Mooney tries to clip it away but the ball pops up off the leading edge. Lee loses track of it for a moment but recovers in time to complete the simplest of catches. Rockets in a whole heap of trouble! 10/33.4 terrible mix-up, and Luff has been run out! Hard length, tucking up the batter outside leg. Luff jams it into the mid wicket region. Mooney seems to call for the single but then sees Luff's hesitancy. Sends her partner back once Luff has gotten up to full speed and that is a recipe for disaster. Easy for Bouchier as she runs up to the batter's end stumps, and Luff is nowhere in the frame! 6/212.4 holes out to deep backward square leg, and the Rockets skipper has to go! Slowed up a touch and angled into the pads. Gardner looks for the pick-up sweep but does not muster the requisite distance. Regulation catch for Franklin, and TCC has popped up with another timely breakthrough! 63/413.4 skied and taken! Rockets losing their way now! Back of a length outside off. Heath, ambitiously. looks for the switch hit and makes a meal of it. No distance at all, and no timing either, and an easy catch for Grewcock at cover. Brave firmly in the ascendancy again! 66/516.4 oh dear - that is a very freakish dismissal! Back of a length outside off. NSB slaps it back towards the bowler, who misfields it initially but still manages to somehow fumble it onto the stumps. Adams, backing up for the quick single, cannot get back in time and she has a wry smile on her face as she trudges off. Rockets six down now! 100/619.1 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! 117/7Extras2 (w 2)TOTAL118/7 (19.3 Overs, RR: 6.02 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Sophia Dunkley, 1.3 ov), 2-6 (Sophie Luff, 3.4 ov), 3-10 (Beth Mooney, 4.5 ov), 4-63 (Ashleigh Gardner, 12.4 ov), 5-66 (Bess Heath, 13.4 ov), 6-100 (Georgia Adams, 16.4 ov), 7-117 (Nat Sciver-Brunt, 19.1 ov)
