    Rudd lbw b Levick 1 (Vipers 172-6)

    No! Don't sweep it when it's that full!

    Carla Rudd is plumb in front.

    A third wicket for Katie Levick. She was expensive in the opening powerplay but has come good in the last five overs.

    All Diamonds.

  4. Vipers 172-5published at 36th overs

    Windsor 8, Rudd 1

    Emily Windsor strikes a fine boundary through the covers, for a rare bright spark for the Vipers.

    The Diamonds have their tales up now. That Georgia Adams wicket looks crucial.

    Windsor 3, Rudd 0

    "15 overs of fun now girls," shouts Diamonds skipper Lauren Winfield-Hill.

    The Vipers elect to use their five over powerplay period.

    Batters Emily Windsor and Carla Rudd have a lot of rebuilding to do.

    165-5 in the 35th over - any thoughts of getting to 280, 290 are really over now. How this game has turned round in the last 10 minutes is extraordinary. All the result of leg-spin."

    Adams c Armitage b Levick 80 (Vipers 165-5)

    Huge wicket!

    Georgia Adams strikes a beautiful four to reach 80 and notch up her 500th run of the competition.

    Next ball she goes big but doesn't have the power against the long boundary.

    Hollie Armitage has safe hands on the boundary. A massive scalp. Levick is on a role.

    Adams 76, Windsor 1

    The Southern Vipers have lost 3-8 in 16 balls. The momentum has definitely switched.

    Hollie Armitage has figures of 2-7 from her two overs so far.

    Emily Windsor is the new batter in.

    Scholfield c Campbell b Armitage 3 (Vipers 157-4)

    The Diamonds are on a role!

    Another wicket for Hollie Armitage, what a bowling change!

    Paige Scholfield goes for three after chipping it straight to Ami Campbell.

    Adams 76, Scholfield 1

    Allrounder Paige Scholfield comes to the crease.

    She gets off the mark with a quick single to finish the over.

    Great stuff from Levick.

    Dean lbw b Levick 2 (Vipers 155-3)

    Comeback on?

    A second wicket in as many overs as Katie Levick traps Charlie Dean in front.

    Plumb in front.

  12. Vipers 154-2published at 32nd over

    Adams 75, Dean 2

    New batter Charlie Dean is straight off the mark with a single.

    Northern Diamonds need to capitalise now. This is the first period of the game they've truly been on top. Can they make it count?

    That was a pretty regulation catch. Bouchier will be kicking herself as she walks off but she was a useful ally for Georgia Adams."

    WICKETpublished at 31.1 overs

    Bouchier c MacDonald b Armitage 28 (Vipers 150-2)

    Breakthrough!

    Hollie Armitage is into the attack and with her first ball she strikes!

    With an ugly long-hop Maia Bouchier could hit this anywhere, instead she plops it straight to the fielder at mid-on.

  15. Vipers 150-1published at 31st over

    Adams 73, Bouchier 23

    I love working with Paul Grunill, there isn't a cricket stat he doesn't know!

    He's just alerted me the highest total in the Rachael Flint-Heyhoe Trophy is 303-5 by Lightning against Central Sparks. The best by Vipers is 288-1 v Western Storm.

    And I'd say the batting side look on to break those records. Bouchier cracks another boundary, 150 up now, with the partnership already at 50.

  16. Vipers 137-1published at 30th over

    Adams 72, Bouchier 21

    Expensive over, nine from it with two boundaries for Maia Bouchier.

    We often say that you should double you score after 30 overs.

    If that's the case, the Vipers are on for 274.

    With nine wickets in hand I think they can push on even further. 290? 300 even?

    There's hardly any movement left in the ball now. This is perfect batting conditions.

  17. Vipers 128-1published at 29th over

    Adams 71, Bouchier 13

    That is just glorious by Georgia Adams, who makes room and steers a ball from Katie Levick through backward point for her 10th four. She only needs nine more runs to reach 500 in the RHF Trophy this summer.

  18. Vipers 120-1published at 28th over

    Adams 65, Bouchier 11

    Phoebe Graham returns - she has 0-28 from six overs so far.

    Maia Bouchier drives the opening delivery but a brilliant stop by Lauren Winfield-Hill denies her a run.

    Bouchier clips through mid-wicket for four but then pulls a full toss where mid-wicket where Ami Campbell cannot hang onto tjhe catch.

    She needn't feel bad, though, as it's a no-ball, giving the Vipers a free-hit. Georgia Adams comes down the track and attempts a big heave but makes no contact.

  19. Vipers 114-1published at 27th over

    Adams 65, Bouchier 6

    A rare half-volley by Jenny Gunn and Maia Bouchier times it beautifully through the covers for her first boundary. She adds a single to Lauren Winfield-Hill's left hand at cover and Georgia Adams is content to block the final ball of the over.

  20. Vipers 108-1published at 26th over

    Adams 64, Bouchier 1

    Maia Bouchier pinches a quick single to get off the mark. Lauren Winfield-Hill's throw hits the stumps at the bowler's end and rebounds into Linsey Smith's shin. Ouch!

    Good footwork by Georgia Adams as she rocks onto the back foot and dabs the ball away for four to third man.

    The two batters end the over with another quick single and it could have been curtains for Bouchier if Beth Langston's throw had been a direct hit,.
