    A brilliant start by the Rockets. Its good to see Scrivens returning to the line-up and scoring freely after being dropped earlier in the tournament.

    The relentless schedule and travel might be impacting the performance by the Invincibles. Although, they know its a must-win match so they need find the energy quickly.

    Trent Rockets will want to knock these runs off as quickly as possible.

    It has looked like under-17 cricket from the Invincibles but runs will slow down after the powerplay.

    Kalea Moore takes the ball after the strategic time-out.

    The 22-year-old off-break bowler is making her Invincibles debut today, having played one game for Southern Brave last season, nine the year before and five for Northern Superchargers in 2021.

    The Invincibles have to try squeeze Scrivens here and keep her on strike to frustrate Smith at the non-strikers end. The must look to take wickets otherwise its too easy for the Rockets.

    Amanda-Jade Wellington into the attack, and the spinner tightens things up.

    Three singles from her first five balls as the players go into a strategic time-out.

    When Smith is striking well, she reminds me of Lizelle Lee. She finds angles so well.

    Smith hammers the first ball of Kapp's new set through square leg. Five consecutive boundaries now for the Rockets.

    Byrony Smith gets in on the action!

    Marizanne Kapp takes the final set of the powerplay, and Smith takes two fours off it.

    She smacks through mid-wicket to make it five consecutive boundaries for Rockets, then sends another through the same area two balls later.

    The visitors on top as the fielders go out.

    Sophia Smale has got to go into the pitch here. That was too full and was well payed by Grace Scrivens.

    Or Smale needs to bowl around the wicket because any width here will go for four.

  12. Rockets 36-0published at 80 balls left

    74 runs needed

    Fours galore!

    A consecutive quartet for Grace Scrivens off spinner Sophia Smale.

    Through long-off, twice through backward square, and finally long-on.

    The opener races to 22 from 10.

    I would not be surprised if there is a little bit on that. Lauren Winfield-Hill was convinced more by the bowler rather than herself.

  14. Invincibles reviewpublished at 85 balls left

    Rockets 20-0; 90 runs needed

    Hello, is Smith now out?

    Nothing from the umpire but Invincibles are going to take a look at a caught behind down the leg side off Gibb's last ball.

    Nope, off the side of the pad - review lost.

    19-year-old Daisy Gibb comes into the attack - she's playing in just her second Hundred match after going 0-10 off five balls against Southern Brave the other day.

    A tight single brings Bryony Smith on strike and she slaps Gibb's second ball through square for four.

    A second pull through mid-wicket off the penultimate delivery adds another boundary, and Gibb over-stepped too so that's two more runs.

  16. Rockets 8-0published at 90 balls left

    102 runs needed

    Marizanne Kapp takes a second set of five deliveries, with the Rockets taking a couple of singles off it.

    Grace Scrivens' is out to mid-off, and gets the 21-year-old off the mark.

    The perfect start to the run chase for Trent Rockets, as Smith smokes the first ball through mid-wicket. Kapp does eventually find her line towards the end of the opening set.

  19. Rockets 6-0published at 95 balls left

    104 runs needed

    Bryony Smith adds two more, lifting the ball over point.

    The fielder on the boundary at deep third runs around the ropes and taps it back to a team-mate chasing back from the inner ring.

  20. Rockets 4-0published at 99 balls left

    106 runs needed

    Bang!

    Bryony Smith pulls Marizanne Kapp's first delvery for four through mid-wicket.

    A strong start for the Rockets.
