Former England bowler on BBC Radio
The first thing we'd do if we bowled to Dani Wyatt was to have a deep extra cover because she loves to play on the offside.

BBC Radio commentatorYou are bowling for a player who loves the cut shot, and you're going wider and wider.

Target 89
Bryony Smith chucks one up right in the cut-shot alley - and Danni Wyatt dispatches it to the boundary.
Wyatt has now surpassed Mandhana - 30 to 29 in their little duel.

BBC Radio commentatorYou feel nothing has gone the way of the Rockets, but they haven't bowled with the same discipline we saw from the Brave bowlers either.
Brave 55-0published at 66 balls left
Wyatt 25, Mandhana 29
Danni Wyatt feathers a wide one from Sarah Glenn to the ropes then follows suit with another boundary via a paddle shot two deliveries later.
She's catching up her fellow opener.

Tom Abell
Somerset all-rounder on BBC radioThe variety of shots from Wyatt just makes it so difficult for a captain to pick a field.
Brave 46-0published at 70 balls left
Mandhana 28, Wyatt 17
Danni Wyatt slices Alana King's final ball of the set for four.
Expensive set that - it went for 14.

BBC Radio commentatorThat was an opportunity for the Rockets! It seems like nothing is going to stop the runs flowing, although that was a half-chance.
Brave 42-0published at 71 balls left
Target 89
A couple of slight chances taken by the Brave as Danni Wyatt lofts one that falls just short of a fielder before Smriti Mandhana risks a quick single.
Then Wyatt edges one from Alana King but it goes wide of Nat Sciver at slip before she can react.
Brave 36-0published at 74 balls left
Target 89
Danni Wyatt finally gets in on the boundary action, driving Alana King's first ball to deep extra cover for four.
Smriti Mandhana has been hogging the strike a bit.

Tom Abell
Somerset all-rounder on BBC radioIt's been such a good start for Southern Brave. Mandhana has led the charge for them.
Brave 32-0published at 75 balls left
Mandhana 27, Wyatt 4
It's a case of when, not if, surely.
How quickly can Southern Brave knock this target of 89 off?

BBC RadioThis is the best time to bat. When you get off to a good start, there is no need to hurry.
Brave 32-0published at 77 balls left
Katherine Brunt keeps wicket-keeper Abi Freeborn on her toes with a wide bouncer that the Rockets gloveswoman does well to stop going for four.
It's 57 needed off 77 for the Brave. Seems routine.
Brave 29-0published at 80 balls left
Mandhana 26, Wyatt 3
Smriti Mandhana sweeps Sciver away to the boundary again. Three fours in that set.
Southern Brave cruising here.
Trent Rockets were 28-1 at this stage - but they failed to kick on.

BBC RadioYou should never lose from this position with 10 wickets in hand, Southern Brave look like a team on their way to the knockouts.

Somerset all-rounder on BBC radioVintage Mandhana! That's her area, over mid-off.
Brave 25-0published at 81 balls left
Target 89
Now, Mandhana lofts Nat Sciver over mid-off for another boundary.
And again! She's on 22 off 13 balls. Beautiful batting.
