It's what The Hundred has done. It's amazing how these teenagers get to play in front of these crowds, in such stadiums at this age.
Summary
Kapp takes Invincibles to win despite late wobble
Bates hits 41 and Kapp makes unbeaten 34*; Smith takes 3-21 for Rockets
Defending champions have now won two of three, Rockets have lost two of three
Rockets leg-spinner King bowls 10 dot balls in a row
Sciver hits unbeaten 59 but Rockets batters otherwise struggle

Rockets 21-1published at 20 balls
Another sweep, another four to Sciver.
An expensive end to the set but a successful one for Sophia Smale, whose introduction to The Hundred just keeps getting better and better.
Rockets 16-1published at 18 balls
Nat Sciver is the new batter and starts her innings with a four, Smale just drifting down the leg side.
Can't bowl there to a player like Sciver. Rockets need a big contribution from her today.

Former England bowler on BBC RadioThey're never easy, those ones. As she's gone for that catch it's just bubbled out a bit; as a bowler you just hope for a fielder to be there!

Smith c&b Smale 10 (Rockets 12-1)
Smale strikes again!
Bryony Smith gets a bit frustrated and tries to go for a huge slog sweep, but the ball just pops up in the air and is safely snaffled by Smale in her follow-through.
It's gone high and loopy - she's done well to get there. Big breakthrough!
Rockets 12-0published at 15 balls
Ismail corrects herself from the next four balls. It's been a measured start from the Rockets so far.
Rockets 12-0published at 11 balls
Shabnim Ismail is into the attack, and she is rapid.
But she's been smashed for four first ball, Bryony Smith once again putting the bad ball away.

Alex Hartley
Former England bowler on BBC RadioOne thing you see in the Hundred this season is batters actually taking their time at the start.
Rockets 8-0published at 10 balls
Elyse Villani leaves the last ball. Don't see that too often in The Hundred.
Rockets 7-0published at 7 balls
First boundary of the day!
Marizanne Kapp bowls short and wide and Bryony Smith tucks in. Smashed.

Former England bowler on BBC RadioShe's really tempting Villani to go down the ground with mid-on and mid-off up.
Rockets 3-0published at 5 balls
Solid start from the Invincibles, as Smale bravely loops the ball up in the air to try and tempt the batters to take her on.
They're just about able to resist, but just the three runs from the first five balls.

Former England bowler on BBC RadioThey're big boundaries here, so we should see a lot of twos on offer, there's no short side that batters will target.
Rockets 0-0published at 1 ball
Full, straight, blocked back to the bowler.
Nice start from the young spinner.

Here come the Trent Rockets openers, Bryony Smith and Australian Elyse Villani.
Sophia Smale is going to take the first ball.
Spin it to win itpublished at 15:27 British Summer Time 17 August 2022
Two of the competition's in-form spinners are in action today with hat-trick hero Alana King for Trent Rockets and 17-year-old Welsh spinner Sophia Smale for the Invincibles.
Smale has been a bit of a surprise package, having only been called up as an injury replacement, but has taken the wickets of Alyssa Healy, Tahlia McGrath and Danni Wyatt already. Not a bad start.
Who will be the match-winner today?

Suzie Bates is captain again, meaning Dane van Niekerk will not feature for Oval Invincibles but she is full of smiles in the warm up.
We're going to see Trent Rockets have a bat first.
