  4. 'We've gelled nicely'published at 17:35 British Summer Time 11 August 2023

    Match Hero Phoebe Litchfield: "To come away with the win is extra special and to do it at home is even better.

    "Me and the skipper, we spoke about hitting the big pockets and running hard and then the boundaries came our way. It was a big partnership which we needed in the middle.

    "I am not the biggest hitter. I can't really hit a six over mid-wicket so I have to try and work into the pockets and my aim is to move fielders round the pitch and score two and fours when I can.

    "It is a massive difference, I think there were seven debutants in our first game. I think we've gelled really nicely."

    Cordelia Griffith sweeps for four before drilling down the ground for six.

    That's a nice shot.

    Cordelia Griffith waits and waits for Alice Davidson-Richards' slower ball before belting it back down the ground for four.

    Superchargers are going to take the strategic timeout.

    Almost another wicket as Mady Villiers drives down the ground and it drops just short of the fielder at long-on.

    Invincibles need something very special from here.

    Game over?

    Kate Cross returns and her first ball is pumped to the boundary by Suzie Bates but the England bowler immediately gets her revenge.

    There's more width but Bates is only able to pick out Jemimah Rodrigues at point.

    Bates goes for a miserable 22 off 28 balls.

    And again!

    Mady Villiers goes down the ground, and Kate Cross, running away from long-on, gets round but has to reach to take the catch.

    It comes off the fingertips and runs into the boundary ropes.

    Invincibles are just about hanging on.
