    That is a lovely cricket shot. Wellington bowls a little slower through the air and she overpitched, which allowed Davidson-Richards to use her feet and loft it back down the ground.

    That'll help! Alice Davidson-Richards dances down the pitch and whacks one for four straight past the bowler.

    This is proper rain now. Proper rain.

    Before the three wickets fell, Lauren Winfield-Hill entertained us with the classic six-and-out combination.

    There's a bit of rain around and it is getting darker overhead. It is just a very light drizzle at the moment.

    As much as it can be difficult to bat and bowl when it's wet, it does make fielding very fun. The boundary fielders have been impressive by utilising the soft ground for lots of diving and sliding stops.

    More spin bowling with Fi Morris coming on. Wolvaardt gets one away for four though which will ease some nerves.

    Morris just dragged the ball a bit short - when the ground is wet it can be hard for spinners to grip the ball and you can see Morris vigorously trying to dry it.

    The spinners seem to be coming into play with a little bit of turn. But the batters are still there, plugging away.

    And Wellington finishes it with another beauty that completely baffles Wolvaardt. Brave well on top now, they're buzzing out there and looking up for the battle.

    That was a beauty from Wellington. Get a slip in!

    The Southern Brave are going for this now as they bring Amanda-Jade Wellington back for a second set of five.

    Laura Wolvaardt plays and misses at one before getting a lucky edge for four off the next.

    Three big wickets have fallen - but we do know the Northern Superchargers bat deep.

    And here's Greg James again to explain what a reverse sweep is.

    A lovely way to get off the mark - Alice Davidson-Richards goes for the reverse sweep and gets two.

    She tries it again next ball but misses.

    Heath c Norris b Bell 2 (Superchargers 41-3)

    Another one down! It's a very short stay at the crease from Bess Heath as she also tries to whack the ball into the stands but ends up hitting it straight to the fielder on the boundary.

    Lauren Bell has got her team right back in this game.

    That's not a great piece of cricket there from Rodrigues, especially with Wolvaardt having just come in.

    Rodrigues wanted to go after the bowler but she didn't time her pull shot. That's a big blow for the Superchargers.

    Rodrigues c Bouchier b Bell 18 (Superchargers 39-2)

    That's the one they wanted!

    Rodrigues goes for the big shot off Lauren Bell but doesn't time it very well and skies a simple catch to mid-on. The celebration from the Brave tells you all you need to know about how much Rodrigues' wicket means.
