  1. Invincibles 22-1

    Just the second boundary of the innings and the first to Meg Lanning, who gets an assist from Jodi Grewcock as she misfields on the boundary.

    Frustration for the Rockets and Kirstie Gordon.

  2. dropped catch

    Capsey dropped on 1

    Invincibles 17-1

    First blemish for the Trent Rockets.

    Alice Capsey slashes at a wide-ish delivery from Cassidy McCarthy and edges behind, but keeper Ellie Threlkeld spills it.

    It was travelling very quickly to Threlkeld but she's a brilliant keeper and would expect to take that.

  3. Kieran Parmley

    13-1 is the second lowest powerplay score in the Women's Hundred this year, with Welsh Fire's 12-2 vs Manchester Originals as the lowest.

    Stonehouse has been on it from ball one. The batters are trying to create something because this is a very low powerplay score.

    The Invincibles have lacked a little bit of intent.

  5. Invincibles 13-1

    What a start from the Trent Rockets!

    Alice Capsey is the new batter and she faces three dot balls from Stonehouse to conclude a dominant powerplay for the visiting side.

  6. Phoebe Graham
    Manchester Originals bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Alexa Stonehouse has built pressure today and it was a straight forward delivery into the stumps.

    Lauren Winfield-Hill looked to go up and over out of pure frustration.

    The pressure tells on the Invincibles skipper!

    Lauren Winfield-Hill tries to get things going but can only plink the ball straight into the hands of Cassidy McCarthy at mid-off. It's a soft dismissal but the result of all the dot balls that Rockets' openers had built.

    Well-deserved for Alexa Stonehouse.

  8. Phoebe Graham
    Manchester Originals bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    I wouldn't change anything for the Trent Rockets at the moment. I would be saving the Aussie spinners and Kirstie Gordon for the middle and death stage.

  9. Invincibles 13-0

    Cassidy McCarthy surprises Lauren Winfield-Hill with a short delivery that whizzes past her nose, and though the Trent Rockets haven't broken the partnership, they've kept things under control really nicely.

  10. Kieran Parmley

    Trent Rockets have struggled to take wickets inside the powerplay this year, picking up only three powerplay wickets in their five previous games before today.

  11. Invincibles 10-0

    Brilliant from Alexa Stonehouse, who concedes just a single from her next five balls.

    A curious lack of intent from the Invincibles openers so far in this powerplay.

  12. Invincibles 9-0

    A cautious start from Lanning and Winfield-Hill.

    McCarthy concedes just four singles, though Winfield-Hill is furious to miss out on a full toss from the last ball.

  13. Phoebe Graham
    Manchester Originals bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Stonehouse does swing it in and gets the lovely shape with the new ball but also has more skills to bring to the game outside of the powerplay.

  14. Invincibles 4-0

    Good response from Stonehouse, with a couple of dots to the Invincibles skipper.

    Cassidy McCarthy will share the new ball.

  15. Invincibles 4-0

    Lovely start for Lauren Winfield-Hill as she drives sweetly through the covers for Invincibles' first boundary.

  16. Back to this game, and Lauren Winfield-Hill and Meg Lanning, who has a few World Cups to her name, are in the middle for the home side.

    Alexa Stonehouse has the ball for Trent Rockets.

  17. 'Being picked is a really nice phone call'

    Oval Invincibles batter Alice Capsey on Sky Sports speaking about being picked for the Women's World Cup: "A really nice phone call to have. It will be a really exciting challenge ahead of us."

    "Playing 50-over cricket at a World Cup is a challenging format. You have to play really well to win a game of 50-over cricket. Indian conditions and the travel add different aspects too but it is really exciting."

    On playing in India: "Every time I go out there it takes a few days to adjust. I am lucky to have been out there over the last few years. It is awesome to play out there so a World Cup will be really exciting."

    On her batting: "I have done a lot of work mentally over the winter about how I go about an innings. I got stuck with having too many options so I have tried to simplify things and bring that into my franchise game."

  18. In cricket news away from The Hundred, Charlotte Edwards has named her squad for the upcoming World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.

    There's no room for Kate Cross, Alice Davidson-Richardson on Maia Bouchier in the 15-player group but Sarah Glenn and Danni Wyatt-Hodge have been recalled.

    England's first game is against South Africa on 3 October.
