    Former England bowler on BBC Radio

    That's a very un-Sciver like innings. It was quite painful.

  2. Melissa Story
    BBC Radio commentator

    Nat Sciver looked like she just forgot she needed to play a shot!

    WICKET

    Sciver st Rudd b Wellington 19 (Rockets 79-4)

    Stumped!

    Nat Sciver comes down the ground, misses the ball and keeps walking to the dressing room as Rudd whips off the bails.

    A tricky innings comes to an end. Sciver made just 19 runs off 30 balls.

  4. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio

    That was a freebie for Mignon du Preez but the Rockets really needed that.

  5. 6 runs

    Rockets 78-3

    Here we go!

    Mignon du Preez launches Amanda-Jade Wellington for six over the leg side. More like it.

  7. Rockets 71-3

    Our last boundary came on ball 47.

    It's now 71 runs off 75 balls for the Rockets. Sciver has 18 off 28 and Du Preez is on three from five.

  8. Henry Moeran
    BBC Radio

    I can't remember the last time we had a boundary.

  9. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio

    Nat Sciver is really struggling. She's not been her usual free-flowing self but the batters at the other end haven't really got going either so that's just adding more pressure on her.

  10. Rockets 68-3

    Brilliant set from Shrubsole, just two runs off it.

    The Rockets have scored less than a run per ball with 30 deliveries to go. Criminal.

  11. Rockets 68-3

    New batter Mignon du Preez starts with a single, flicking Anya Shrubsole to the leg side.

  12. Henry Moeran
    BBC Radio

    Maia Bouchier did very well there because there was a risk of the ball popping out as she landed with her elbows on the ground.

    WICKET

    Villani c Bouchier b Wellington 25 (Rockets 67-3)

    Amanda-Jade Wellington builds pressure with Elyse Villani deciding to gamble off her final ball.

    But she gets a big shot all wrong, launching it into the air with Maia Bouchier grabbing the ball on the dive on the off side.

    It's all Brave at the moment.

  14. Rockets 65-2

    Villani 24, Sciver 16

    Tahlia McGrath bowls the latest set going for just five runs. When will the Rockets go all-out attack? They have wickets in hand, surely it's go, go, go?!

  15. Tom Abell
    Somerset all-rounder on BBC radio

    Nat Sciver is finding it tough but she has just got to ride it out, she has got a big responsibility batting at four and being captain for her team.

  16. Rockets 60-2

    60 up after 55 balls, we were 59-2 after 54.

    So that would be 118 runs for the Rockets if the theory holds. We'll bookmark it.

  17. Henry Moeran
    BBC Radio

    Melissa Story has a theory that in the women's Hundred, if you double the score at 54 balls, that's what your final total will be.

    So we're going to test that out today.

  18. Rockets 58-2

    Three singles off the next three deliveries.

    Boundaries are still hard to come by.

  19. Lauren Bell, on 2-4 after 10 balls, is next to bowl.

  20. Rockets 55-2

    Halfway through the Rockets' innings.

    Southern Brave have restricted the rate so, so well. But there's still a long way to go.
