  1. Invincibles 104-3published at 13 balls left

    Need nine from 13 balls

    Short from Nat Sciver and Marizanne Kapp just whacks it away to the boundary.

    That feels like the game.

    Trent Rockets were looking out of it, but that set of 10 or spell of 10, changed it.

  3. Invincibles 99-3published at 15 balls left

    Need 14 from 15 balls

    Tidy end from Katherine Brunt, conceding just three runs from her final set.

    She has figures of 0-22 from her 20 balls today.

    Win predictor has it 94-6 in Invincibles' favour at the moment.

    What an incredible 12 months Alana King is having!

    Ashes winner, Big Bash winner, gold medalist and now tearing it apart in The Hundred.

  5. Invincibles 96-3published at 20 balls left

    Need 17 from 20 balls

    Another four.

    Marizanne Kapp manages to create some width from Nat Sciver and threads away to the boundary.

    Glorious.

    This game has really changed in the last 15-20 balls.

    Everything Rockets do well, it can be standout piece of fielding or even the basics, it's all cheered. Even dot balls are being cheered.

    It got tight, but have Oval Invincibles sneaked ahead again?

    The worm shows Oval Invincibles Women are eight runs ahead of Trent Rockets Women. Oval Invincibles Women are 90 for 3 after 75 balls. At the same stage Trent Rockets Women were 82 for 3.Image source, BBC Sport

    Need 23 from 25 balls

    Hmmm, a slight pressure reliever.

    Mady Villiers works away for three before Marizanne Kapp hits away to the boundary.

    Sarah Glenn finishes with 2-29 from her 20 balls.

    Well done, Nat Sciver for keeping her on. It's a bit of a masterstroke.

    Target 113

    10 DOTS IN A ROW!!

    Alana King is some talent.

    A double-maiden.

    Invincibles now need 33 from 30 balls. Is pressure building?

    Wondering if Alana King can bowl 10 dots in a row?

    Good captaincy from Nat Sciver, bringing the mid-wicket in because they need some dots.

    Target 113

    Alana King has just bowled a maiden (they are still a thing in The Hundred).

    Five dots in a row.

    She is going to continue and bowl out.

    Invincibles' middle-order is not as good as the Rockets. They'll feel they are back in it now.

    Is there going to be a twist here?

    Leading the side, Suzie Bates looked frustrated there.

    Bates b Glenn 41 (Invincibles 80-3)

    Hello! Do we have a game on our hands?

    Suzie Bates looks to back away and give herself some room but Sarah Glenn follows her and an underedge goes into the stumps.

    Invincibles only need 33 from 40 balls so they are in control but pressure could build here.

    It was going to be one way or another from here, either a flurry of boundaries or a wicket.

    Capsey c Brunt b Glenn 24 (Invincibles 73-1)

    The pressure tells!

    After just a single from the Alana King over, Sarah Glenn is able to keep it tight too and it forces the big shot from Alice Capsey.

    She looks to go down the ground but doesn't quite get enough on it and Katherine Brunt is there to take the catch.

    Is there a little send off from Brunt to Capsey there? Plenty of needle around today.

    Things have quietened down a bit the last 10 balls or so.
