Johnson c Gibson b Sharma 25 (Rockets 132-2)
This might actually not be the worst thing for the Rockets. Johnson was hardly flying. It brings a genuine hitter to the crease...

Another down the ground, but falls short of the converging fielders.

WOW! Sciver is absolutely on it now. She smashes another six. Two on the bounce.

Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraThe fielder misjudged it horribly. You could see it happening in slow motion, she took two steps forward and it sailed over her head.

BOOM! Sciver clocks one over mid-off for six. Brilliant. The sound of that connection was glorious.
Rockets 119-1published at Ball 82
Wickets in hand here for the Rockets. What is possible?
Gibson tries to limit the visitors' ambitions, but Sciver lofts a four over the fielder at long on. She misjudged it. Stepped in from the rope and the ball fell over her.

Sciver enters the party with a slap sweep to the rope between square leg and midwicket.
Rockets 110-1published at Ball 79
Run out chance as the Rockets pair go for a quick single after a reverse sweep. The fielder can't hit, though.

The wicket really has stemmed the runs. Sharma keeps it tight.

Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraThere's been a few balls since a boundary, a good sign for Spirit.

A noticeable slowing in the scoring rate since Priest departed. 150 was on with her at the crease.

Sciver goes for a little steered reverse and almost presents a catching opportunity. There is a strangled cry for LBW too. Nothing doing, though.

Here is a little taster of what we've just seen from Priest...
Rockets 103-1published at Ball 70
Sciver is already timing it. A fielder prevents her getting a first four with a back foot club to mid-off.
