Men's competition: Southern Brave 34-1 against Trent Rockets
Jason Roy is having a fair bit of luck in Nottingham.
In our last update we said Joe Root had spilled a blinder at backward point, and now Tom Moores has missed the chance to stump Roy.
The Brave batter attempted a big shot off Reham Ahmed but Moores wasn't able to gather cleanly and took the bails off the stumps without the ball in hand, and Roy was able to get back.

If I was Meg Lanning and I was the best player, I might have been reviewing that. It might have been worth having a little look.

A calamity of errors! But that was well bowled, what a response from Katie Levick. A huge wicket for the Welsh Fire.

Welsh Fire's players appeal and it's given out.
Lanning ums and ahs about a review but decides to walk off. Only for television replays to show she got a bit of glove on it before it struck the pad.

A must-win game for both these teams. Alice Capsey has just kept getting to the boundary. This powerplay has belonged to the Oval Invincibles.

Lanning picks up two more boundaries off Davis - via a thump past cover and a chop through the slips.
Men's competition: Southern Brave 18-1 against Trent Rockets
Almost brilliant from Joe Root!
Jason Roy plays a full-blooded cut shot and Root flies to his left at backward point and almost takes a one-handed stunner.
He's got it in his grasp but the ball just pops out as he makes contact with the ground.
Just two boundaries from the powerplay as Rockets are restricted to 18.

Meg Lanning then opens her boundary account against Jonassen with a crisp flick square for four.

Now all that pressure from losing the first wicket will be starting to release and the Oval Invincibles can start getting into the innings.
Boom! This is more like it from Alice Capsey.
Shabnim Ismail drops it short and wide and Capsey powerfully cuts it the boundary for four.
Next ball Ismail is too straight and Capsey pull it for four.
Capsey makes it three consecutive fours with an effortless flick off her toes to the rope.

Image source, Getty ImagesThere's the breakthrough!
Trent Rockets chose to bowl first so they will have wanted early wickets and they've got the key one of James Vince.
It is Rockets' captain David Willey as he bowls Vince, who didn't really move his feet.

Meg Lanning has been on fire so far this comp, and it shows in Oval Invincibles' powerplay form. In the three matches so far, the Invincibles have scored 127 runs for just one wicket in 75 balls of the powerplay.
Meg Lanning is off the mark with a nudge off the pads to a delivery from Georgia Davis. Alice Capsey edges one to third for single of her own.
Slim pickings so far against Welsh Fire's new-ball pair.

No foot movement from the Oval Invicibles' batters so far.
Brilliant start by Shabnim Ismail who looed full of fire in a brisk first set. Alice Capsey gets herself off the mark with a single to mid-off.

First ball of the game and Shabnim Ismail gets rid of the skipper. Lauren Winfield-Hill looks like she might have just nipped back, there was no real foot movement. It catches her on the crease and she just drags it onto the stumps. Perfect start for the Fire.

It's a bit of a nothing shot from the Oval Invincibles skipper who hangs her bat to a delivery outside off stump and chops on.
Alice Capsey the new batter.

The Oval Invincibles have made this their fortress so I'm expecting a big performance from them. Both sides need a win.
Fireworks and smoke greet the players of Welsh Fire as they sprint on to the outfield at The Oval.
Fire's Hayley Matthews is coughing and spluttering having inhaled some of the pyro.

Image source, Getty ImagesOver in Nottingham and the men's competition, Trent Rockets have won the toss and will bowl against Southern Brave.
They are looking to bounce back from a defeat by London Spirit on Thursday and have brought in spinners Calvin Harrison and Callum Parkinson for Sam Hain and Sam Cook.
They've also drafted in Nottinghamshire wicketkeeper Tom Moores as a temporary replacement because of injuries that Tom Banton and Tom Alsop are carrying.
For Brave, who also lost their last match, Chris Jordan misses out with a groin injury sustained against Northern Superchargers and he's replaced by Jordan Thompson.
We'll have updates from this game and you can listen to ball-by-ball radio commentary.
