Superchargers 105-0published at 48 balls
Yeah, it definitely hasn't worked.
Back-to-back boundaries from Davidson-Richards, the first clubbed through mid-wicket as Charli Knott bowls far too short again and the next is drilled through the covers.

That timeout hasn't worked out yet.

When she has looked to whack it, she really has stayed in the shot and it is coming off the middle of her bat like a trampoline.

That's a lovely, somewhat teasing sight for London Spirit - Phoebe Litchfield going through some sprints and stretches in the outfield.
She's in next, followed by Annabel Sutherland.
Good luck.

Davina Perrin gets a chance to chill at the non-striker's end as Alice Davidson-Richards whacks Charlie Dean through mid-wicket for another boundary.
Dean, looking a little frazzled, calls for the strategic timeout.

Former England fast bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra 3That's another monster. These aren't small hits from Davina Perrin.
The bowler was just desperate not to get it smashed back over her head so she dug it into the pitch, but because it was an off spinner it just sat up.
It was a nice pie for Perrin to devour. That went five or six rows back, that isn't a small hit at The Oval.

Talk about a return to form.
Superchargers 84-0published at 40 balls
This is remarkable.
It's an absolute pie from Charli Knott, pitching halfway down and sitting up perfectly, but the power from Perrin is sensational.
That is her fifth six already!

CricViz analystDavina Perrin took 25 balls to reach her half-century, the joint second fastest of the women's Hundred this year alongside teammate Phoebe Litchfield (25 balls vs BP) - Deandra Dottin (24 balls vs NSC) still holds the fastest of the tournament.

Former England fast bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra 3Can England change their World Cup squad? This is unbelievable - 68 runs from 29 balls is huge.
There aren't many players in the women's game that can hit the ball like this. I don't even think I've seen Grace Harris hit a ball that big before, it was humongous!

When do we start talking about the century?!
Too short from Eva Gray again, and that has been sent miles.

Sam Drury
BBC Sport cricket writer at the Kia OvalThis is some knock from Davina Perrin.
Power and precision, combined to near-perfection.
Alice Davidson-Richards has got the best view in the house at the non-striker's end - she's only faced six balls so far!

Steven Finn
Former England fast bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra 3I'm glad I tipped Davina Perrin before this game! She is someone that I'm really excited about because she is a real talent. She has expertly hogged the strike as well.
That was some shot to get to fifty - she just rocked back in the crease, it was a back of the length slower ball from Eva Gray, and she just biffed it down the ground like she was in a baseball batting cage.
It was a home run straight over the bowler's head.
Superchargers 62-0published at 32 balls
Spirit haven't helped themselves with this performance in the field, however.
A full toss from Eva Gray flies to the ropes.
Superchargers 58-0published at 31 balls
Goes to fifty with a six!
Davina Perrin has 54 of Superchargers' 58. Wow.

Slammed down the ground by Perrin as she moves to 48 from 24 balls.
What a knock!
