Danielle Gibson has now taken four catches this season, without dropping any. The joint-most catches taken for any outfielder alongside Sophie Ecclestone.

Dani Gibson is not bowling at the moment but she's really contributing. She's covered so much ground and has taken two lovely catches, she makes it look comfortable.
We spoke about that 150 minimum for the Rockets - they'll have to get going for that.
Brilliant from Eva Gray, as she finishes with 4-19.
Alana King survives!

Emma Jones should be furious with herself - because that is one she could've hit anywhere.

Jones c Dean b Gray 0 (Rockets 129-5)
Two in two!
A leading edge from Emma Jones, which pops straight up in the air and Charlie Dean takes another smart catch running back from mid-off.
Nat Sciver-Brunt can only watch from the non-striker's end and Eva Gray is on a hat-trick!
Graham c Gibson b Gray 1 (Rockets 129-4)
Dani Gibson is having a cracking day in the field!
Another stunning diving catch on the boundary, again covering plenty of ground to get there and sliding on her knees to dismiss Heather Graham for just one.
Eva Gray has a third.

She gets a single to get Sciver-Brunt back on strike and that's job done as the next ball is swept powerfully for four more!

Ash Gardner doesn't quite get a hold of it. A comfortable catch and Gardner's wonderful partnership with Sciver-Brunt comes to an end.
Gardner c Griffith b Glenn 25 (Rockets 123-3)
A much-needed wicket for London Spirit!
Sarah Glenn can't quite believe it as she offers a short ball, but Ash Gardner clubs it straight to Cordelia Griffith on the boundary. Frustration for Gardner, knowing it should've been sent into the stands.

I don't know how she's done that. That ball is meant to be hit squarer than that - lovely, lovely shot from Sciver-Brunt.
This has been a masterclass from Nat Sciver-Brunt as she continues to pick the gaps perfectly.
A skip down the pitch to Bex Tyson, and whips the ball past mid-wicket for four.
The England skipper moves to 34 from 21 balls.

Lord's has been a low-scoring ground in the history of The Hundred but it looks a good wicket today.

A boundary each to Sciver-Brunt and Gardner off Charli Knott, which leads to Spirit calling for their strategic timeout.

I think London Spirit have brought themselves back into this game really nicely.
They've managed to drag things back a bit after the start, but this partnership here is key.

Issy Wong has really increased her use of slower balls over the seasons in The Hundred. Her slower ball usage outside of the powerplay:
Issy Wong holds her nerve.
Just two runs conceded.
Three dot balls from Issy Wong to Ash Gardner...
Image source, Getty ImagesYep, these two are in the mood and what a treat to watch two of the world's best in tandem.
Nat Sciver-Brunt wallops Sarah Glenn down the ground for a one-bounce four and the Rockets are setting themselves up for a very imposing total here.

That was a special shot from Nat Sciver-Brunt against Charlie Dean. It is the only instance of a right-hander hitting a six over cover with an off-spinner bowling around the wicket in The Hundred.
