Brave 96-4published at 85 balls
Dunkley 41, Adams 9
A brilliant effort from Alex Hartley.
She finishes with figures of 1-12 from her 20 balls.
She hasn't offered Southern Brave anything.

Alex Hartley on the player mic: "We spoke more about limiting our boundary balls more than anything else. We bowled a few no-balls in the last game and that cost us.
"The ball is all skiddy and slimy at the moment because of the rain."
Brave 91-4published at 80 balls
Good comeback from Nicola Carey, conceding just two runs from the final three balls.
Alex Hartley is going to come back on and bowl her final five balls.

Brave 89-4published at 77 balls
Oh my. That's a shot.
Sophia Dunkley just gets on the front foot, stands still and plants Nicola Carey back down the ground for a one-bounce four.
One of the best shots of the day that.

Another good set from Hayley Matthews, with just five singles coming off it.
Brave need some boundaries.

At least this drop only cost Welsh Fire two runs.
It was a sore one for Lauren Filer.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialI tell you what, I'm not sure there was bat involved there.
Fire 78-4published at 70 balls
Oooh, big shout for lbw as Sophia Dunkley is caught on the back foot by Hannah Baker.
"Woody", shouts Alex Hartley on the player mic.
Was there an inside edge? Not sure there was you know, that could be a missed opportunity.
Baker finishes with 1-21 off 20 balls.

Yosef Mordechai Coleman: I think the boundaries should be larger in the women's cricket competition. Cricket should be a game that is not only running singles or anything past that is a boundary. Make running more part of the game and rotation of strike and all that is involved.
Jafar Astro: The boundary for the women at Headingley yesterday looked further than it was the week before, and we felt that the running was much more exciting! Last week they definitely felt very short.
Fire 73-4published at 65 balls
Alex Hartley is having some day out at the moment.
She's got figures of 1-8 from 15 balls so far.
She's just mentioned she is going to be saving her five balls for closer to the end of the innings today.

Bouchier c Beaumont b Hartley 2 (Brave 72-4)
Another disappointment for Maia Bouchier.
Bouchier has struggled for runs in this tournament and the Commonwealth Games previous for England.
This feels like a tame dismissal too as she just chips Alex Hartley straight to mid-wicket.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialThe Welsh Fire have contained really well. It's about going on and keeping it up.
Brave 71-3published at 60 balls
England batter Maia Bouchier is the new batter.
Brave do bat deep with Georgia Adams, who normally opens domestically, next to come in, while Freya Kemp, who can hit a big ball, is due in after her.
It feels like Brave need a partnership though.

McGrath b Nicholas 7 (Brave 68-3)
Another big scalp!
Claire Nicholas is bowling stump to stump and Tahlia McGrath tries to be a little bit cute and work the ball away. The Australian misses though and the ball crashes into off stump.
Did that skid on a little bit? Perhaps.
