    This would be the equal fourth highest chase in the women's Hundred, and the highest at this venue eclipsing the previous best of 144 - the highest by a visiting side in this comp was London Spirit chasing 114 last season.

    Oval Invincibles have set a really competitive total here. The average winning score is around 135 so they have gone significantly ahead of that.

    There are encouraging signs for Welsh Fire though, in terms of how well Alice Capsey and Marizanne Kapp played. The way they also manipulated the field by playing those ramps and sweeps is definitely something Welsh Fire's batters can learn from.

  3. Invincibles 150-5published at 100 balls

    Marizanne Kapp superbly ramps Freya Davies for four off the penultimate delivery of the final set.

    With a half-century beckoning Kapp fluffs her lines off the final ball - miscuing a pull - so has to settle for an unbeaten 47 off 32 balls.

    Welsh Fire need 151 to win. It looks like a big ask.

    Something the viewers may have missed is that whilst they had that review, Tammy Beaumont kept saying 'Dunkley, Dunkley, Dunkley!'

    She has placed one of her best fielders at long-on now because Shabnim Ismail wants to go full and straight, so more balls will naturally come into that area now.

    So you put your best fielder there to save a couple of twos and potentially take a catch.

  5. Brave target 140 with 10 balls leftpublished at 90 balls

    Men's competition: Southern Brave 121-3 against Trent Rockets

    We're back under way at Trent Bridge after the ankle injury sustained by Adam Hose. We'll bring you any update as we get it.

    Michael Bracewell hit the first ball after the resumption for four and he's going well with 22 off 13 balls.

    James Coles is struggling a bit with 13 from 13.

  6. Invincibles 143-5published at 95 balls

    Marizanne Kapp goes down on one knee to the third ball from Shabnim Ismail and spectacularly ramps her South African compatriot for four.

    Hayley Matthews has varied her pace brilliantly in this innings.

    She just forced Amanda-Jade Wellington wide for that wicket and forced her to move around her own crease.

    A brilliant performance from a big player.

  8. Gardner survivespublished at 90 balls

    Ball-tracking shows it would have bounced over the stumps.

    Joanne Gardner gets a life.

  9. Fire reviewpublished at 90 balls

    Joanne Gardner attempts to sweep her first ball from Hayley Matthews and is struck in the midriff.

    Welsh Fire skipper Tammy Beaumont sends it upstairs after appeals for lbw are turned down on the field.

    For a minute I thought the ball was so slow that Amanda-Jade Wellington would have time to get back.

    That is really good stumping!

    Amanda-Jade Wellington just could not get her bat back behind the line quick enough.

    Smart glovework by Sarah Bryce and clever bowling by Hayley Matthews.

  12. Umpire reviewpublished at 89 balls

    Well bowled by Hayley Matthews who sees Amanda-Jade Wellington dancing down the wicket, slows her pace down and push it wide.

    Sarah Bryce whips off the bails.

    It's sent upstairs but looks close.

  13. Hose suffers right ankle injurypublished at 81 balls

    Men's competition: Southern Brave 107-3 against Trent Rockets

    We've got a delay at Trent Bridge because of a serious-looking ankle injury for Trent Rockets' Adam Hose.

    He was attempted to stop a boundary, but the ball spun the other way and that has resulted in the injury to his right ankle.

    They have put up a screen to give Hose some privacy while he's being treated.

    There's been a delay of more than five minutes so far.

  14. Invincibles 134-4published at 87 balls

    Welsh Fire skipper Tammy Beaumont on the player mic: "We have kept getting ourselves back in the mix by taking wickets, which has been helping us to release the pressure on us a little bit. I think it is really down to these last few balls now and seeing how many we can restrict them to.

    "I would like to keep them to 150 runs here."

    On batting in the top three this afternoon: "I think you start thinking about batting at the Oval days before you get here. I think you want to have a net on the outfield first, it is definitely one of the best nets in the country so getting out on a ground like this is always on your mind."

  15. dropped catch

    Wellington dropped on 14published at 85 balls

    Carbon-copy shot from Amanda-Jade Wellington against Freya Davies but this time she sends it down the throat of Katie Levick at short fine.

    However, Levick fumbles the chance. It was well hit, but she should have held that.

  16. Invincibles 128-4published at 84 balls

    Freya Davies is a little short with the penultimate ball of her set and Amanda-Jade Wellington steps across and whips it square for four.

    We are seeing pretty clear indications that Amanda-Jade Wellington has been given quite a simple brief by Oval Invincibles, which is to take the attack in the final 20-25 balls.

    She tried the reverse sweep from her first ball and didn't quite get hold of it, but know she's thinking I'll just whack it down the ground instead for back-to-back fours.

  18. Invincibles 121-4published at 80 balls

    Amanda-Jade Wellington is the new batter and she gets off the mark with a four via an uppish drive off Katie Levick, which just misses the hand of the diving Hayley Matthews.

    Wellington then hammers Levicks next ball down the ground for back-to-back boundaries.

    It looks as though someone instructed Hayley Matthews to bowl that one.

    She held her hands up after taking that wicket, she didn't want to take the credit but the team will be happy nevertheless.

    It's great to see Hayley Matthews back bowling. Welsh Fire need another wicket, so I think they need their leading wicket-taker.

    She is very good at mixing up her pace and her variations. She has got that real slower ball back of the length, which will make Paige Scholfield's eyes light up and hopefully for Matthews it either goes to deep long-on or deep mid-wicket.
