    We're deep down the Invincibles batting card now, but here's how some of their top-order fell.

    Take a look at the wickets of Suzie Bates, Alice Capsey and Dane van Niekerk.

  3. Invincibles 42-8published at 65 balls

    18-year-old Sophia Smale trudges to the middle. She's joining opener Lauren Winfield-Hill, who must be thinking about carrying her bat...

  4. Superchargers 116-1published at 60 balls

    Matthew Short has gone! He will be furious with himself because it is an awful half-tracker from Rehan Ahmed, but Short perfectly picks out George Garton on the deep mid-wicket boundary.

    He departs for an excellent 73 from 36 balls.

    That has only sparked Tom Banton into action, though. He has smashed Leus du Plooy for a four and six in the space of three balls to move to 30 from 24.

  5. How's stat?!published at 15:16 British Summer Time 6 August 2023

    The lowest total in the women's competition is Manchester Originals' 76 when they were chasing 120 against Trent Rockets last year.

    Surely that is under threat?

    Gray lbw b Nicholas 1 (Invincibles 40-8)

    That's gone.

    She was struck on the knee roll sweeping, it looked out and ball tracking sends Eva Gray on her way.

  7. Umpire reviewpublished at 61 balls

    Have we another wicket here?

    Claire Nicholas thinks so, she has Eva Gray trapped in front sweeping. The umpire agrees, Gray doesn't, we go upstairs.

  8. Invincibles 40-7published at 60 balls

    Gray takes a run as she plugs a ball into square-leg for a single.

  9. Superchargers 96-0published at 50 balls

    Are we on for the first century of this year's Hundred?

    Matthew Short has just hit an absolutely huge shot high into the Southampton sky and way over the rope for yet another six to move on to 73 from just 34 balls.

    Superchargers on course for a hefty total here unless Brave can break this partnership quickly.

  10. Invincibles 39-7published at 58 balls

    Eva Gray defends the hat-trick ball backing away and pushing to the off-side.

  11. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 57 balls

    Macdonald-Gay b Ismail 0 (Invincibles 39-7)

    And another!

    Ryana Macdonald-Gay can't handle Ismail's pace - she bowls wide of the crease and thunders the ball into the bottom of Invincibles batter's pads.

    She's gone for a golden duck.

  12. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 56 balls

    Villiers b Ismail 0 (Invincibles 39-6)

    There's so much clean bowling in this match, this wicket is super clean.

    Ismail returns to the attack and she has Mady Villiers straight away!

  13. Invincibles 39-5published at 55 balls

    Griffiths finishes with two dot balls to new batter Mady Villiers.

  14. Superchargers 73-0published at 40 balls

    Matthew Short continues to dominate, smashing 61 of Superchargers' 73 runs from just 29 balls.

    In contrast, Tom Banton has just eight from 12, though neither batter has been troubled so far.

  15. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 52 balls

    Scholfield c Dunkley b Griffiths 5 (Invincibles 39-5)

    Another wicket, you say?

    Scholfield goes boundary hunting, hitting Griffiths high and square. It's a long boundary though and Sophia Dunkley has plenty of time to run around and take a comfortable catch at deep square.

  16. Invincibles 37-4published at 50 balls

    Claire Nicholas returns and opens with a wide, but Invincibles can only run singles from the remainder of the set.

    We haven't had a boundary since ball 23.

  17. Invincibles 33-4published at 45 balls

    Paige Scholfield is next up to try and make a bit of an impression for the Invincibles. Like some of her team-mates, she gets her first run in the point area - will she get any more?

    A reminder that opener Lauren Winfield-Hill is still down the other end with 17 from 19.

  18. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 43 balls

    Kapp b Elwiss 3 (Invincibles 31-4)

    Clean bowled again!

    Great ball from Elwiss, Kapp plays a regulation drive but the ball cuts right through her.

    The champions are four down to last year's bottom side.

  19. Invincibles 31-3published at 40 balls

    Oh dear. Kapp looks for a single through point and the lob to the bowler's end isn't backed up - they run one more.

  20. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 37 balls

    Van Niekerk b Griffiths 2 (Invincibles 28-3)

    The captain's gone!

    Alex Griffiths follows Georgia Elwiss in taking a wicket in the first set, clean bowling the Invincibles skipper. Van Niekerk didn't look settled and she's heading back to the dressing room.

    In comes Marizanne Kapp.
