  1. Vipers 101-1published at 25th over

    Adams 58, Bouchier 0

    Jenny Gunn starts a new over and Georgia Adams collects a single.

    New batter Maia Bouchier is on strike. She produces a couple of plesant-looking drives but they are straight to fielders.

    That's the halfway point of the innings.

  2. wicket

    McCaughan c Heath b L Smith 35 (Vipers 100-1)

    Finally! Linsey Smith outfoxes 18-year-old Ella McCaughan who feathers one to keeper Bess Heath.

    The Diamonds have their voices back in the field.

    Maia Bouchier is the new woman in. Time to build some dots.

  3. 100 runs

    100 for the Viperspublished at 23.4 overs

    Adams 55, McCaughan 37

    A couples of quick singles and that's the 100 up for the Vipers....it's the fourth three-figure opening partnership they have produced in this competition.

  4. Vipers 97-0published at 23rd over

    Adams 55, McCaughan 34

    I've been super impressed with Jenny Gunn's aggression and variations.

    She's asking all sorts of questions of the batters. It's just a shame she's come into the attack when both players at the crease are set.

    Still no closer to a wicket.

  5. Vipers 94-0published at 22nd over

    Adams 53, McCaughan 33

    I think Alex has got it spot on (see 11.42 entry), Vipers are in total control of this match.

    Another over, four runs are added.

    The Diamonds need this partnership broken.

  7. Vipers 90-0published at 21st over

    Adams 52, McCaughan 30

    Another good over from Jenny Gunn. No theatrics just very economical bowling.

    Looking into the Vipers' opening partnership, this pair have been the foundation of the side's six wins out of six in the group stages.

    First-wicket stands of 111, 105, 84, 10, 155, 52 and now 90*.

    It's just easy for the Vipers at the moment. If I was in this situation I'd bring some catchers in and try to put some pressure on."

  9. Vipers 88-0published at 20th over

    Adams 51, McCaughan 29

    Linsey Smith comes back into the attack.

    You sense a switch has been flipped for the Vipers now. Ella McCaughan adds another four, six from the over.

    What a brilliant opening partnership this has been, The Northern Diamonds desperately need a wicket.

  10. 50 runs

    50 for Georgia Adamspublished at 19th over

    Vipers 82-0

    A fantastic 68-ball 50 from Georgia Adams.

    A single on the off-side takes her to a fourth half century of the campaign.

    So far she's struck 37, 55, 44, 89, 154*, 41 and now 50* this summer.

    Sensational form.

    Shot!

    Ella McCaughan has been playing second fiddle to Adams for long periods of this innings.

    Now she starts to up the gears, moving across and opening up the legside for two brilliant boundaries.

    Nine from that over.

  12. Vipers 69-0published at 17th over

    Adams 47, McCaughan 14

    Georgia Adams has been incredible this summer. She's the leading run scorer in this competition for a reason!

    Another good over from Jenny Gunn, three from it.

    Adams is now 45 not out. She looks like she's timing it gloriously."

    And Phoebe Graham backs up her bowling partner with six fine deliveries. Again only one from the over.

    Something's gotta give...

  15. Vipers 65-0published at 15th over

    Adams 44, McCaughan 13

    The Northern Diamonds turn to former England international Jenny Gunn.

    Eleven tests, 144 ODIs, 104 T20s, you can't get much more experience than that.

    Only a single off her first over.

  16. Vipers 64-0published at 14th over

    Adams 43, McCaughan 13

    Ella McCaughan grabs her second boundary off the final ball of Phoebe Graham's over.

    That'll do her a world of good, she was just stalling slightly with Adams clocking up most of the runs.

  18. Vipers 57-0published at 13th over

    Adams 43, McCaughan 8

    Georgia Adams is continuing her fine form and hits Katie Levick for three fours off the 13th over.

    That'll bring up the Southern Vipers' 50. Adams is just seven away from another half century.

  19. Vipers 45-0published at 12th over

    Adams 31, McCaughan 8

    Phoebe Graham returns and this time it's Ella McCaughan who goes onto the attack.

    A lovely, late cut adds another three down to third man.

  20. Vipers 41-0published at 11th over

    Spinner Katie Levick comes into the attack.

    Georgia Adams immediately smashes her for four, but Levick recovers and finishes her set well.

    Adams' lowest score in the Rachael Heyhoe-Flint Trophy is 37 - her best is 154 not out.
