  1. Brave 17-3published at Ball 25

    That's the 25-ball powerplay done.

    It's fair to say that Trent Rockets have dominated that period of the game.

    There's a bit of a rebuilding job on now.

    It looked like a premeditated shot, she cleared her foot pretty early.

    Wyatt c Johnson b Sciver 7 (Brave 14-3)

    The Rockets are dominating!

    After picking up the boundary last ball, Danni Wyatt looks to attack again, but her attempted, let's say hack picks out mid-on.

    Brave have lost three big wickets so far.

    Early signs that this looks like a good wicket, that sat up nicely for Wyatt.

  7. Brave 14-2published at Ball 18

    Shot!

    Nat Sciver has turned to herself with the ball, but she drops a little bit short, and Danni Wyatt swivel pulls to the boundary.

  8. Next batter: Stafanie Taylorpublished at 11:12 British Summer Time 24 July 2021

    West Indies captain Stafanie Taylor is the new batter.

    She's a powerhouse, so expect some big strokes if she gets in.

    It was a brilliant piece of fielding, Sarah Glenn on her knees and she threw it in.

    Dunkley run out (Glenn) 6 (Brave 8-2)

    She's gone!

    Sophia Dunkley crunches a drive down the ground, but England spinner Sarah Glenn does brilliantly to slide across on her knees, gather cleanly and throw towards the stumps.

    Kathryn Bryce does well to pick up, and knock off the bails and beat Sophia Dunkley's dive.

    Another BIG wicket.

    I think Dunkley is really struggling, she's already starting to walk off.

    Has Sophia Dunkley been run out here?

    It was brilliant work by Sarah Glenn.

    Another bowling change for the Rockets as Scotland international Kathryn Bryce comes on.

    Sophie was one of the sought-after players in The Hundred and you can see why.

  15. Brave 5-1published at Ball 9

    That's a shot!

    Sophia Dunkley is having a fantastic summer. She's made England Test and One-Day International debut, and she gets off the mark here with a thumping drive back past the bowler.

    One of the stars has gone for Southern Brave but another one is emerging in Sophie Dunkley.

    Mandhana c Kirk b Johnson 0 (Brave 1-1)

    The bowling change works!

    Nat Sciver was debating whether to keep Katherine Brunt on after a successful first set of five, but she decides to bring on overseas player Sammy-Jo Johnson and it brings immediate rewards.

    Smriti Mandhana tries to clip off her legs, but picks out deep square leg.

    Big wicket for the Rockets.

    Had she hit, Wyatt would have been gone for all money. She's feeling the pressure.

  20. Brave 1-0published at Ball 4

    That's the pressure of The Hundred!

    After three dots, Danni Wyatt knows she's got to score, so she takes on an incredibly risky single to mid-off, but Sammy Jo Johnson's throw misses the non-striker's stumps.

    Wyatt would have been out by a mile.
