    The teenagers are taking the big wickets for the Invincibles. Smale getting Healy and now MacDonald-Gay doing for Rodrigues.

    Alice Davidson-Richards, who scored a century for England on her Test debut earlier in the summer, is the new batter.

    Charlie Walton: Really enjoying Heather Knight on co-comms. Obviously we don't want her injured, but to be able to have her in-depth knowledge and insight makes for really valuable listening.

    Capsey is back on the field and straight back into action with Jemimah Rodrigues out for 51. She really put her side in a healthy position.

    Not a bad first wicket to get!

    Rodrigues c Capsey b MacDonald-Gay 51 (Superchargers 104-4)

    Fifty and out for Jemimah Rodrigues and Alice Capsey, just back on the field, takes the catch!

    It's a wicket with her second ball for Ryana MacDonald-Gay as Rodrigues slices the ball high into the off side. Capsey was never dropping that one.

    Nicely guided from Jemimah Rodrigues and that will bring her up to fifty.

    50 for Jemimah Rodriguespublished at 71 balls

    Perfectly guided past short third by Rodrigues, four more to take her to a 31-ball half-century.

    A superb knock from the Superchargers opener.

    Rodrigues 47, Wolvaardt 25

    Smale finishes her 20 balls and it's been a solid effort from her. The big wicket of Alyssa Healy and figures of 1-25. Not bad at all.

    Meanwhile, with 30 balls left, Rodrigues and Wolvaardt going well, how many can the Superchargers get?

  9. Superchargers 97-3published at 67 balls

    Brilliant from Rodrigues, smoking the ball over the off side for another boundary.

    She has looked a cut above so far tonight. The Invincibles have had no answer.

  10. Superchargers 90-3published at 65 balls

    A fiery set from Ismail. At one point she fielded a defensive prod from Wolvaardt and shaped to hurl the ball back at her. It's fair to say international allegiances have been put to one side for a little while!

    Good running to end the set, Rodrigues getting back for two after clipping the ball into the leg side.

  11. Superchargers 86-3published at 61 balls

    How has that missed!? Shabnim Ismail returns and starts with a beauty.

    Her international team-mate Wolvaardt is beaten on the inside edge trying to drive, the ball somehow whistles past leg stump and then beats Lauren Winfield-Hill, too, before running away for four byes.

    So close.

    Jemimah Rodrigues is a natural born sweeper and that's what makes her so hard to bowl at as a spinner.

  13. Superchargers 82-3published at 60 balls

    Rodrigues shows Wolvaardt how to do with with a perfectly executed sweep shot, splitting the two fielders in the deep to add another boundary to her tally.

    Rodrigues 32, Wolvaardt 21

    Dane van Niekerk continues after the timeout and nearly strike in bizarre fashion with the first ball back.

    Laura Wolvaardt sweeps but gets it all wrong, the ball comes off the back of the bat and trickles just past off stump. What a way to go that would have been!

    It's been quite evenly balanced so far. Pressure has been building from Oval Invincibles but Wolvaardt and Rodrigues will feel they have to bat a majority of their innings for their team now.

    Smale is back into the attack and it is a very tidy set from the young left-arm spinner.

    Just three from it and we're going to have a strategic time out.

    It's all fun and games when you play but when you come into a team, especially from overseas, you need to leave your mark, try to impact the younger players and leave a legacy that way as well.

    Wolvaardt is so good through the off side but proves she doesn't always get those drives right with a thick outside edge. The result is the same though: four runs.

    We're halfway through the innings and the momentum feels like it is with the Superchargers at the moment.
