    This is where Sciver can let loose and show her skill to the crowd.

    The foundations are set. The big score is on. Sciver is off the mark straight away.

    I can't believe I said the Hundred hundred was on. I'm sorry, Rachel Priest.

    WICKETpublished at Ball 67

    Priest c Beaumont b Gibson 76 (Rockets 101-1)

    GONE!

    Beaumont makes amends for her earlier drop, this time taking the catch as Priest clubs one her to her in the deep.

    A vital wicket for the Spirit. We won't be seeing a Hundred hundred just yet.

    That was powerful, nearly took Freya Davies and the umpire with her. We could be on for the first Hundred hundred.

    Priest 76, Johnson 19

    Straight down the ground from Priest. It is a caught-and-bowled chance but it would have been some catch. More chance of it taking Davies' hand with it.

  8. Rockets 97-0published at Ball 63

    Freya Davies is back. She bowled well earlier.

    She does superbly on her return with a variety of pace and length.

    The highest total in the women's side of the Hundred is 149-7, set by the Superchargers against the Rockets. That is very much in danger of being bested here.

    Away from Lord's a couple of the Hundred's overseas stars have been getting musical.

    India's Jemimah Rodrigues, and South Africa's Laura Wolvaardt, who are both playing for Northern Superchargers, have been tuning up their guitar and vocal chords.

    Have a listen.

  11. Rockets 95-0published at Ball 60

    Johnson's job now is just to give Priest as much strike as she can.

    Or maybe not. She heaves one herself and over the rope it goes.

    Rockets are on fire. How have these lot not won a game yet?

    Spirit call a time out. Yep. Smart move.

  12. Rockets 89-0published at Ball 58

    Priest goes big again and is lucky to see her slog sweep drop short of Beaumont in the deep.

    A very good shot, that's a big six. Dattani is trying to bowl straight but it's in the arc for Priest.

  14. Rockets 88-0published at Ball 57

    Can Dattani make the breakthrough with the ball? Nope.

    Priest heaves her for another six. Massive.

    When it's your day, it's your day. Priest is just chancing her arm now and swinging.

  16. Rockets 82-0published at Ball 55

    Could have been a run out chance as the batters hesitate over a single. But the Spirit fielder can't hold on to the ball and the home side miss out.

    Rockets rub salt in the wound with a wild, edged four.

    This is getting messy for Spirit.

  17. Rockets 76-0published at Ball 52

    Spirit can't cope with Priest. Gibson bowls full and the Rockets batter steers it down to wide third man for four more.

    Rachel Priest is a real problem for London Spirit. It's the first time she has fired in the competition but this is what she was brought in for.

    She's targeted that short boundary and has done it so well.

  20. Rockets 71-0published at Ball 50

    It is all about Rachel Priest. She's absolutely in the zone and powering the Rockets to a score.
