Always difficult to have the keeper up when a bouncer like that is bowled. That missed everyone.

Brave 46-3published at 45 balls
Oh, that's unlucky.
Katherine Brunt goes shorter, but with keeper Abi Freeborn up to the stumps, she isn't able to gather and the ball runs away for four runs.
Brave are rebuilding nicely here, but at some stage they'll need to go on the accelerator and with that will come danger.

Here are the first two wickets that Trent Rockets picked up.
They were both big wickets.

Tidy start from England leg-spinner Sarah Glenn too. She concedes just four runs from her five balls.
It feels like Rockets are well and truly on top at the moment.

Heather Knight
England captain on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraThree of the best leg-spinners are on show today. All three of them are quite different as well.

Yeah, as I thought. Maia Bouchier is comfortably home.
That is good running.
Umpire reviewpublished at 15:27 British Summer Time 2 September 2022
Has Maia Bouchier been run out as Southern Brave look to get back for a second run?
My hunch is no, but the umpire wants to check.

Brave 34-3published at 35 balls
Lovely start from Alana King, conceding just two singles from her first set of five balls.
Her compatriot Tahlia McGrath has moved to eight not out, her highest score in the tournament this year.
That shows how below-par she has been.

England captain on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraI did say the Brave were going to be in this position. Bouchier and McGrath will have to do some rebuilding here.

It isn't going to get any easier for Southern Brave.
Australia's star leg-spinner Alana King is into the attack.

BBC Radio commentatorIt's another wishy-washy shot from a Brave batter. That decision from Villani at the toss is proving to be a masterstroke.

West Indies all-rounder on BBC TwoThe big three are gone! Such a soft dismissal, just guided it to third man. This is more of a precarious situation for Southern Brave now.

Mandhana c Glenn b Sciver 16 (Brave 32-3)
The big three are gone!
England all-rounder Nat Sciver comes into the attack and she strikes with her third ball.
She does a little shorter and Smriti Mandhana just guides it into the hands of Sarah Glenn. It feels like another soft dismissal.
Brave desperately need a partnership from Tahlia McGrath and Maia Bouchier.

Marie Kelly, on player mic: "We didn't start with pace because it was all about match-ups. Mandhana is a bit more comfortable against pace so we wanted to take pace off it. Couldn't have asked for a better start against such a team."

A first look at pace today as Katherine Brunt comes into the attack.
Tahlia McGrath drives back at her, is that a chance? No. It is really low to the ground and Brunt has to trap it down with her boot instead.
It is a tidy start from Brunt, with just two singles coming off it.

West Indies all-rounder on BBC TwoThe way that Mandhana has used this set of five has been brilliant, her approach has been great. Exceptional cricket, going against the turn.

Lydia Greenway
Former England batter on BBC RadioI don't often see Mandhana sweep a lot, but on this occasion since the ball was wearing down the leg side she executed it. Very nicely played, it was an instinctive shot.
