    Thanks Ffion.

    We all ready to see a raging Katherine Brunt steaming in shortly?

    She was NOT happy with that run out.

    Well, that wasn't the best start. Was it the pitch, good bowling or good batting? We'll find out as Oval Invincibles begin their chase.

    Here's Callum Matthews to take you through it.

    Sciver just never got going. But without her, Trent Rockets would have been struggling, so she's just got to tell herself she's got the job done, although it's not as she'd have wanted.

    The Rockets get a good response from the crowd, which is encouraging. But, you just feel they're a bit under.

  5. Rockets 112-8published at 100 balls

    Kathryn Bryce takes a single from the final ball to complete a slow, tough innings for the Trent Rockets.

    Nat Sciver finishes with 59 not out which is remarkable given how every other batter struggled.

    How will Oval Invincibles cope on this pitch?

    Oval Invincibles need 113 to win.

    You can't keep Alice Capsey out of the action!

    Alice Capsey takes a simple catch. A second wicket for Gray, who has bowled beautifully.

    These runs are much needed for Rockets and their skipper, Sciver.

  9. Rockets 109-7published at 97 balls

    Nat Sciver is playing a blinder here.

    She thumps another four past a diving Mady Villiers.

  11. Rockets 105-7published at 95 balls

    A fine spell from Marizanne Kapp comes to an end.

    What can Rockets manage from the last five here?

    It's all falling part for the Trent Rockets.

    WICKETpublished at 94 balls

    Freeborn b Kapp 5 (Rockets 105-7)

    Another! Abbey Freeborn tries to give herself a bit of room to accelerate the scoring but can only chop the ball onto her stumps.

    Rockets' struggle continues.

    Nat Sciver has just not found the gaps she'd have liked to pick, the pockets here are big, though.

  15. Rockets 105-6published at 93 balls

    Sciver is getting frustrated. She can't find the gaps she needs to get Rockets a few boundaries in the last 10 balls.

    A misfield from Marizanne Kapp and Rockets get a lucky boundary.

    10 balls to go.

    Brunt run out (Capsey) 1 (Rockets 97-6)

    Oh this is dramatic.

    Nat Sciver drills one back at Alice Capsey, who drops it, but the ball ricochets from her hands and onto the stumps! And Katherine Brunt is dawdling down the pitch!

    She slams her bat on the ground in frustration, which isn't great.

  19. Third umpirepublished at 16:32 British Summer Time 17 August 2022

    Ohhh.

    Has Katherine Brunt been run out at the non-striker's end?! She is raging, which suggests... yes.

    She's just looking to hit the ball past Alice Capsey. Goes for a golden duck, and now the Oval Invincibles find themselves in a really strong position here.
