Middlesex all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraVery good start. Tammy Beaumont plays proper cricket shots. She looks to hit the ball straight and on the ground. She is controlled and measured.
Spirit 19-0published at 90 balls left
This is a very good start from Spirit, and they still have plenty of quality batting to come.

Middlesex all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraGo on Tammy. That is what we like to see. She has a lot of time at the crease. We spoke about the intent to come down the wicket and meet the ball on the full. She is trying to upset Johnson's length.
Spirit 18-0published at 91 balls left
Timed! A proper cricket shot from Beaumont, driving along the turf back down the ground.
Spirit 13-0published at 92 balls left
Having opened the batting, Sammy-Jo Johnson has the ball in hand.
And England's Tammy Beaumont has her first runs in The Hundred as she leans forward and clips her through the leg side for four.

Need 144 from 96 balls
A much more convincing shot, a back-foot crunch through cover and it's four more to Dattani.

Middlesex all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraShe saw Rachel Priest playing the power sweep. That was definitely a slog sweep. They need to take advantage of this power play.

Dattani takes a swipe, a top edge sends the ball sailing over the wicketkeeper for four. Brunt is seething.

Signs of swing for Brunt. A dot ball to start.

It will be Dattani on strike. The legend Katherine Brunt to bowl.

Priest was well set to become the Hundred's first hundred but fell short, with Tammy Beaumont taking a smart catch.
'Really nice to get some runs'published at 16:19 British Summer Time 29 July 2021
Trent Rockets' Rachel Priest on Sky Sports: "I've unfortunately been making a notoriously slow start at these tournaments, but it was really nice to get some runs. It's a really nice wicket.
"Today was just about being a little bit clearer in the mind. I was a bit scrambled in the first couple of games, and today was about see ball and hit ball.
"It is a beautiful ground, and it really runs away once you get it. It just came off for me today.
"We always think we've got enough runs on the board, but this is a really good team, so we're going to have to be on top of our game."
