To be able to execute that type of delivery at this stage is so good. No surprise we are going to see McGrath for the last five.

Rockets 111-7published at 5 balls left

A brilliant five balls from Tahlia McGrath, just four runs from them.
The task gets even steeper for Trent Rockets, while the Brave can sniff victory and a place in tomorrow's final.

West Indies all-rounder on BBC TwoThat's the most dejected 50 celebration I have ever seen.
50 for Nat Sciverpublished at 9 balls left
Need 27 runs to win
A single takes Nat Sciver to her fifty, but she barely celebrates.
She looks to the sky in frustration at not being able to get the boundary away, but it's been a brilliant innings. Rockets would have collapsed in a heap without her.

BBC Sport at the Ageas BowlIt’s not quite done. There’s still a slight feel of tension in the air and that’ll remain until the game is over or Nat Sciver is out.

Former England batter on BBC RadioThat was a bit of a bottom hand, wasn't it? Even though there were two fielders it was perfectly placed.
Rockets 106-7published at 10 balls left
Need 29 runs to win
Lauren Bell does brilliantly to bowl two dot balls, but Sciver gets some revenge with another four shovelled through the leg side.
It's a difficult equation now for the Rockets.

Here's why Southern Brave won't feel completely comfortable until Nat Sciver is out.

Carlos Brathwaite
West Indies all-rounder on BBC TwoSpoke earlier about Sophia Dunkley and Danni Wyatt patrolling the boundaries. It's just so important to get these little parts of the game right. Not only did Wyatt save a run, but also brought a wicket out of it. Nat Sciver can only afford to do this twice more.

Freeborn run out 2 (Rockets 102-6)
Another!
Nat Sciver sets off for two straight away and sacrifices Abbey Freeborn in the process.
Sciver has to be on strike for pretty much all of these last 14 balls, so it's a risk she had to take.
Rockets 101-6published at 15 balls left
Target 135
Same shot, four more!
Sciver looks very relaxed out there. Can she pull off something very special for the Rockets?

Former England batter on BBC RadioNat Sciver is so strong down the ground. She'll want to have as much strike as possible from here.

But Nat Sciver has not given up yet!
Straight down the ground for six more. A lovely strike.

Brunt run out Strano 2 (Rockets 88-6)
A great piece of work from Molly Strano, who had earlier dropped Nat Sciver.
Brunt hit the ball straight at her and set off for a single to try and get Sciver back on strike, but Strano takes out the stumps with a bullseye throw.
Rockets' hopes dwindle even further.
Umpire reviewpublished at 17:20 British Summer Time 2 September 2022
Oh dear.
Has Katherine Brunt been run out? It looks close, and Brave are buzzing. They're certain.

England captain on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraWell, that was the right call. That ball just gripped a bit, great thinking from Shrubsole to go for the kill and call on your premium wicket-taker.
