    Trent Rockets skipper Nat Sciver was named hero of the match, and she told Sky Sports: "I am very happy with the win. I feel the bowlers did well and Rachel Priest had a lot of stumpings! I think the seam bowlers were brilliant, their batters looked to hit square and our plans worked.

    "Personally, I am really enjoying my batting. I'm looking to be a bit more aggressive. The first few games we have gone at it hard and looked for boundaries early. Our confidence is definitely there. We would like to be a bit more clinical but three wins has put us in contention for the eliminator."

    There were some cracking shots in the Trent Rockets' chase, before it all got a little wobbly towards the end.

    That win takes Trent Rockets up to fourth in the table, with Welsh Fire fifth.

    You have to give credit to Welsh Fire for making it interesting at the end but Trent Rockets deserved to win. It was a wonderful knock from Nat Sciver which has been the difference. Katherine Brunt played a sensible part as well. Overall it was an entertaining match.

    Hannah Baker is a very exciting young prospect. The control she has at the age of 17 is remarkable.

    Welsh Fire have to make sure there are no easy singles in the ring. It's the only way you can make the Trent Rockets batters play a silly shot. Everyone has to be tight and close.

    A big appeal from Hannah Baker as she strikes Emily Windsor on the pad, but it's not give, and Windsor recovers to nab a single from the next ball.

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news but there are some hefty grey clouds just starting to creep over. It is windy though, so they might blow past us.

    Oh, that's poor fielding, and Trent Rockets can nab a single...

    ...and another! The target is down to single figures.
