    That was some really nifty glove work.

    Wilson st Rudd b Wellington 2 (Invincibles 24-2)

    No need to review that one! Amanda-Jade Wellington is having a brilliant tournament with the ball and it's continued here! She lures Fran Wilson out of her crease with a loopy ball, Wilson misses and Carla Rudd finishes it off in style.

    Oh, and a beauty to finish the powerplay from Shrubsole! Fran Wilson is bamboozled and they even consider a review, it was that good.

    You get the feeling this could go down to the wire.

    Shrubsole continues to bowl well, and the Invincibles seem happy to just tick off the singles from her.

    I'm not convinced Wilson would have been safe had that hit the stumps...

    94 more runs needed

    Fran Wilson could do with some runs. And her first run comes from a risky single that ends in a dramatic dive, as if she knows she's under pressure too.

    A good start from Tara Norris, despite that first ball going for four.

    That had snow on it! She had a lot of time to think about that. It's a crucial wicket because Adams will hurt you.

    That's a really good catch. It was up there a long time.

    Adams c Bouchier b Norris 8 (Invincibles 21-1)

    And she gets her revenge! Adams goes for another big shot, trying to heave this one over the leg side but Maia Bouchier is waiting for it - and holds on to a smart catch.

    And what a welcome! Georgia Adams smashes her first ball straight back down the ground for four.

    Tara Norris is going to have a bowl.

    Shrubsole bowls another tidy set of five, with the batters just milking a few singles from it.

    The target less than a hundred runs away for the Invincibles now.

    The worm shows Oval Invincibles Women are four runs ahead of Southern Brave Women. Oval Invincibles Women are 17 for 0 after 15 balls. At the same stage Southern Brave Women were 13 for 0.

    And another! Crunched away this time, van Niekerk cashing in on a short and wide ball from Lauren Bell. A diving Sophia Dunkley had absolutely no chance.

    The next two balls are wide. Not a great start from the Brave.

    Lovely! Dane van Niekerk gets off the mark with a glorious four.

    Heather Knight on commentary earlier said the run map would give an indication of whether the pitch here today is slow. She said if Dunkley's runs were mainly scored into the leg side, it was a sure sign it was slow...

    As the summer goes on, this pitch in Southampton gets slower and you need your batters to show patience. The bowlers who targets the stumps begin to have more success.
