BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraIs there another twist in the tale? It feels a little bit too late for Welsh Fire but this is definitely a bit of a wobble. They will need to do something spectacular to win it from here.

Sciver c Smith b Cleary 54 (Rockets 92-5)
And she gets the huge wicket of Nat Sciver!
Did that just stick in the pitch? Sciver is all a-tangle and sends a leading edge towards a tumbling Bryony Smith.
Well then! 11 still needed to win...

Former IPL batter on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraThat is a massive wicket for Welsh Fire. Wickets are what they need to get back in this game. The beauty of The Hundred is the new batter will now have to face the strike. Could this be the start of the hat-trick?!

Brunt c Baker b Cleary 20 (Rockets 82-3)
Well, that's a start!
Katherine Brunt hoicks Piepa Cleary, who has bowled well for no reward so far, high into the air and Hannah Baker settles herself at mid-wicket to take the catch.

Former IPL batter on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraNat Sciver with an innings of pure class. It was sensible also. She came under a lot of pressure when they lost a couple of wickets. Once she was set she was able to play some shots. She has 50 off 35 deliveries but has hardly broken sweat.
With Sciver and Katherine Brunt at the crease Trent Rockets have nothing to worry about. Welsh Fire are only getting back into this if someone takes a hat-trick!
50 for Sciverpublished at 30 balls left
Rockets 81-2

Darren Sammy and Charles Dagnall are having a dance to the DJs on TV.
I'll be honest, one of them has better moves than the other.

It's as easy as you like for Sciver and Brunt to just lean back and knock the singles around.
