    Here was the big wicket of Laura Wolvaardt earlier from young Ryana MacDonald-Gay.

    Power from Dottin there, it was slightly more tossed up. It comes straight off the middle of the bat. You think now Dottin is just looking to go for it.

    Huge!

    Is this what Deandra Dottin needed to get herself going? She launches Sophia Smale down the ground for six, and follows it with a bit of a slog but, regardless, it results in for four more.

  4. Root out as Rockets strugglepublished at 17:06 British Summer Time 9 August 2023

    Joe Root is out! Trent Rockets are in huge trouble now.

    England's former captain is caught playing a reverse sweep to Callum Parkinson, leaving the Rockets 65-4 chasing 143.

    The hosts are struggling to find the boundary against the Northern Superchargers spinners on a turning pitch.

    They need 76 from the last 40 balls.

    I think Wellington is a good promotion. She can score quick runs.

    Another good bit of bowling from Macdonald-Gay. A comfortable catch for Kapp. It could almost be a blessing for the Manchester Originals because Campbell was having a tough time out there.

    I think Ecclestone should be higher up the order, she can change a game in four or five balls.

    Campbell c Kapp b Macdonald-Gay 17 (Originals 55-3)

    Macdonald-Gay has another!

    Ami Campbell hit a boundary a couple of balls earlier but in trying to force the score along - rightly so - she holes out as an edge flies into the hands of Marizanne Kapp.

    A rather tortuous innings of 17 from 26 balls comes to an end. That's put quite a bit of pressure on the batters coming after her now.

    You feel that Dottin will be key. They are going to need to find boundaries before the pressure builds.

  9. Originals 48-2published at 50 balls left

    Target 129

    Oval Invincibles will be delighted with how Ami Campbell is playing this. Her 12 from 23 balls is making their job quite a lot easier.

    At the other end, though, is Deandra Dottin - and if she gets going... expect fireworks.

    81 required from the last 50 balls.

  10. Root in as Rockets wobble against Superchargerspublished at 17:00 British Summer Time 9 August 2023

    Trent Rockets are wobbling against Northern Superchargers.

    They need 82 runs from 50 balls, having just lost their third wicket when Alex Hales was bowled by Wayne Parnell for 29.

    Joe Root is now at the crease. Can he lead the Rockets to victory?

    That is brilliant, a really good call to review that one.

    Wolvaardt lbw b Macdonald-Gay 27 (Originals

    Hitting leg stump! A huge breakthrough for Oval Invincibles!

    What a start for the young seamer Macdonald-Gay. It looked to be going down the leg side but replays show it was a smart review from the bowling side.

    Macdonald-Gay is a highly-rated young talent who has been tipped for England honours - and you can read all about her here.

    Winfield-Hill definitely fancies that one. That's when you normally know.

    Now then!

    Big moment.

    Has Ryana Macdonald-Gay got Laura Wolvaardt lbw? The Originals think so.

    The Originals are a bit behind the rate needed here and it is starting to show. When you are in that position, you need to either slog your way into form or get Wolvaardt on strike. I don't want to say the village thing of hit out or get out, but when you've got Dottin coming in next, you have to start thinking of going for it..

  16. Originals 42-1published at 60 balls left

    Target 129

    Ami Campbell tries to get a bit funky and ramp Eva Gray over the keeper, but doesn't quite get the timing and only manages a single.

    It's time for the strategic timeout and there's not much between the teams at the moment. Oval Invincibles won't mind this approach at all, though.

    We saw what can happen if you leave things too late in the earlier game between Trent Rockets and Northern Superchargers...

  17. Rashid makes good start to slow Rockets' chasepublished at 16:50 British Summer Time 9 August 2023

    England leg-spinner Adil Rashid has brought about a squeeze in the Trent Rockets scoring rate after coming into the attack at Trent Bridge.

    He concedes just eight from his first 10 balls, all bowled in a row, to keep the Rockets to 55-1 in pursuit of 143.

    That means they need a further 88 runs from 60 balls.

    Wolvaardt is just a quality player.

  19. Originals 38-1published at 65 balls left

    Target 129

    Another classy shot from Wolvaardt as Paige Scholfield offers too much width, and she gratefully carves it away for four.

    At the same stage, Invincibles were 31-1 so there's not much to separate the sides at the moment.

  20. Postpublished at 16:44 British Summer Time 9 August 2023

    Just the one wicket for the Invincibles so far, as Emma Lamb fell for her second successive first-ball duck.
