    Trent Rockets player on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    Maia Bouchier is a fantastic player. She is one who continues to amaze me. She hits the ball cleanly all the time.

  3. Sophia Dunkley walks off with an unbeaten 23 from 13 balls to her name.

  4. Brave 166-3

    A single off the final ball, and Southern Brave have set the highest total of the women's tourmanent so far.

    Welsh Fire will need a mammoth 167 to win.

  5. Brave 165-3

    Here's the hat-trick ball...

    ...and Maia Bouchier gets a thick outside edge that goes for four!

    Every wicket helps! Hayley Matthews will be pleased with that, getting her international team-mate out.

    It's hitting the stumps!

    Stafanie Taylor goes without scoring! Hayley Matthews has a little grin on her face as she watches her international team-mate depart.

  11. Oh, I'm rubbish at these.

    It's hit Taylor on the back leg as she tries to sweep...

    Trent Rockets player on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    She's put on a show for the fans and this tournament is so much better for top players like Smriti coming over from India and performing like this.

    This has been an amazing innings to watch.

    Mandhana c Hennessy b Matthews 78 (Brave 161-1)

    Smriti Mandhana holes out!

    She aims downtown and is very well caught by Georgia Hennessy on the boundary. A genuinely superb knock comes to an end. What an innings.

  17. Brave 161-1

    Sophia Dunkley reverse sweeps and then comes charging through for a single.

  18. Hayley Matthews, who has been the most miserly bowler amongst the carnage, will bowl the final set of five.

  19. Brave 160-1

    Mandhana 78, Dunkley 22

    Five to go.

  20. Not out

    No. Terrific bat slide from Dunkley to get home.
