  1. Rockets 24-0published at 15 balls

    Sammy-Jo Johnson opens up her stance a little and is able to clear mid-on with a powerful drive off Emily Arlott. She plays a similar shot of the final ball of Arlott's set but this time the ball plugs in the lush outfield at cow corner.

    Rachel Priest picks up the merest smidgen of anything short from Erin Burns, rocks back and pulls through the mid-wicket boundary for four.

    A couple of balls later it's a premediated slog-sweep from Sammy-Jo Johnson to find the rope herself.
