Need 113 off 81 balls
She follows that with a sweet straight drive back past the bowler for another boundary. Brilliant batting.
Rockets 21-2published at 82 balls
Tara Norris turns her arm for the first time, Sciver clips a ball off her pads for four.

Target 134
Four! An inside edge off Sciver's bat sends the ball squirting past the wicketkeeper. It wasn't the prettiest way to find the boundary but they all count.

Ex-England batter on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraYou still have time to rebuild. You've got to give yourself a few balls to get used to the pitch.

Target 134
Brunt joins her team-mate (and her other half off the field) Sciver in the middle. And she's off the mark by drilling Bell through the off side for four.

Johnson c Taylor b Bell 4 (Rockets 9-2)
Oh! Another mistimed shot from a Rockets opener as Johnson drags it to mid-wicket and it's the most simplest of catches. The home side are in a spot of bother here.
Rockets 9-1published at 93 balls left
Johnson gets hold of that one! Up and over the fielders for four.
Rockets 5-1published at 94 balls left
How did that miss?! Lauren Bell comes into the attack, Sammy-Jo Johnson takes a wild swing and nearly inside edges it onto her stumps.

Ex-England batter on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraThat was similar to Danni Wyatt's dismissal - she just hasn't got hold of it at all.

Ex-Middlesex captain on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraFor a moment I thought mid-on completely miscalculated that. It is a very important wicket indeed.
WICKETpublished at 96 balls left
Priest c Mandhna b Shrubsole 4 (Rockets 4-1)
NASA, we have a problem! Rachel Priest mistimes a shot and lofts the ball into the hands of Mandhana on the leg side. Early wicket for Shrubsole and Southern Brave.
Rockets 4-0published at 98 balls left
Target 134
Lift off for the Rockets! Priest swats a full toss - a ball which does not bounce - for four.
Rockets 0-0published at 99 balls left
Target 134
A nice bit of swing from Shrubsole to Priest and we start with a dot ball.

Right, batters Rachel Priest and Sammy-Jo Johnson are in the middle and England legend Anya Shrubsole has the ball in her hand.
