Thanks Callum. Kal and Cal reunited - we should have our own sitcom.
Yet again in The Hundred a team lose early wickets and then recover in the middle and latter stages. The beauty of this competition is that things can change so quickly.
It looks a good wicket though, I fancy Trent Rockets to chase this down.

That's me done for this game.
Kal Sajad will take you through the Trent Rockets chase. It should be a cracker.

Southern Brave batter Stafanie Taylor, who made 45 off 31 balls, on Sky Sports: "It's a good wicket. Once you get yourself in, you get value for runs.
"We have to bowl really well to restrict them, but we have the bowlers to do it."

The Trent Rockets are probably listening to Kingdom Rapper in their changing room now, to get them pumped for this chase.

Stafanie Taylor and Anya Shrubsole put on an unbroken 76 for the sixth wicket.
Their experience was invaluable for Southern Brave.

So far in the Women's Hundred we've seen first-innings totals of 135 and and 128 so that is about par so far.
The bad news for Southern Brave fans is that both of those teams lost...
Will Trent Rockets make it three from three for chasing sides?

Four more!
Stafanie Taylor gets down on one knee and sweeps Katherine Brunt to the square leg fence.
Brave 128-5published at Ball 98
Short from Katherine Brunt and although Stafanie Taylor doesn't quite time the pull she picks up four.
Southern Brave are going towards a competitive total here.

Katherine Brunt is going to bowl the final set of five.
She's gone for just seven runs from her first 15 balls.

Ex-Middlesex captain on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraThat's what Shrubsole wanted. She moved about three or four paces to the off side and went over the fielders.

Anya Shrubsole!
I said Southern Brave would be relying on Stafanie Taylor, but Shrubsole has taken them towards a competitive total here.
She moves a few steps outside off stump and slices over the top of the covers to move to 38.
Brave 117-5published at Ball 93
More excellent fielding!
Stafanie Taylor absolutely crunches a cut, but Sarah Glenn does brilliantly at full stretch in the covers to keep it to just a single.
Trent Rockets have saved at least five runs with some great fielding.

Nat Sciver is going to bowl the penultimate set of five.
She's taken two wickets already today.

Sarah Glenn finishes with 1-32 from her 20 balls. Southern Brave have played her well.
With 10 balls left, Nat Sciver and Trent Rockets have decided to take the tactical time-out. They might just want to take some sting out of the Brave momentum. Anya Shrubsole and Stafanie Taylor have put on 56 for the sixth wicket now.
