  1. Invincibles 81-4

    Two new batters in now as Paige Scholfield and Amanda-Jade Wellington are tasked with rescuing the Invincibles' innings.

    They haven't got much time to settle in though, with only 25 balls to go.

  2. Phoebe Graham
    Southern Brave bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Meg Lanning went to play the sweep there but there was not enough distance. A very simple catch for Sciver-Brunt and you can tell Lanning is disappointed.

    Two very competent batters have gone in those three balls.

    Ash Gardner strikes again!

    Meg Lanning can't believe it, as she is gifted a slow, loopy delivery that she wants to launch into the stands but instead, it's plopped straight into the hands of Nat Sciver-Brunt at long-on.

    This could be a game-changing spell from Gardner.

    But the partnership is broken!

    Huge wicket for Trent Rockets as Marizanne Kapp chips an innocuous delivery straight back to Ash Gardner.

    There's barely a celebration, the wicket really came from nowhere.

    Meg Lanning strikes at 187 when she's batting beyond the halfway mark of the innings in the women's Hundred, a huge increase from her 123 strike rate in the first 50 balls of the innings.

  6. Invincibles 77-2

    A boundary each for Meg Lanning and Marizanne Kapp off Heather Graham, and this is a huge partnership.

    Lanning slog sweeps beautifully over square before Kapp slashes a wide delivery down past deep third.

  7. Invincibles 67-2

    Up and over cover, a much-needed boundary for the Invincibles after the loss of Capsey.

    Meg Lanning moves to 40 from 32 balls.

    That is why the Trent Rockets have taken the timeout. It stopped the flow of the batters and Capsey went for a 'stweep' - a stand-up sweep.

    And the timeout works wonders!

    Alice Capsey can't make the Rockets pay for those two drops as she departs for 15, playing across the line to be trapped lbw by Kirstie Gordon.

    Capsey doesn't even bother thinking about the review there.

  10. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    In the last 30 balls the run-rate has really picked up so it will be a case of Trent Rockets finding a way to slow the Invincibles down.

  11. Invincibles 60-1

    Nicely done by Heather Graham, who drags back a bit of control for Rockets with just three runs conceded from her first five balls.

    Trent Rockets subsequently call for their strategic timeout.

  12. Invincibles 57-1

    Lanning guides one through pointGetty Images

    She's up and running now! Three boundaries off Cassidy McCarthy and Meg Lanning is flying.

    She guides one effortlessly past the keeper, pulls the next through the leg side before driving gloriously through the covers.

    The Invincibles have caught up really well here.

  13. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Meg Lanning has faced Alana King plenty of times in the nets and that was probably the best shot we have seen so far.

  14. Henry Moeran
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    That is into the stands! Meg Lanning got all of that over mid-wicket and that would have felt beautiful.

  15. 6 runs

    Invincibles 43-1

    That is some way to get the run rate moving!

    Meg Lanning slog sweeps Alana King for six!

    Alice Capsey is the most dropped batter in the history of the women's Hundred with 17 of the 35 catching chances she's offered up ending up as drops, a catch success rate of just 51%.

    Another chance goes begging!

    Capsey skips down the pitch to Ash Gardner's first ball, gets an edge through to Threlkeld who puts down a tough chance but also misses the stumping.

    Naturally, Capsey whacks the next ball for four!

  18. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    That was a full bunger from Alana King, she was just trying to force the ball. She got that one wrong which you very rarely see from her and Capsey gets it away it for four.

  19. Invincibles 28-1

    Double spin, with Australia's Alana King into the attack.

    She starts with a full toss, a gift for Alice Capsey, who scoops it over her shoulder for four.

    Interestingly, Oval Invincibles have registered two of the three lowest Powerplay scores of the competition (17-2 vs Southern Brave & 13-1 vs Trent Rockets) as well as three of the four highest (54-0 vs Birmingham Phoenix, 42-0 vs Manchester Originals and 41-1 vs Welsh Fire)
