  1. Rockets 61-3

    That's more like it. A fantastic shot from Sciver Brunt, sailing over the field but stopping just short of clearing the boundary and trickling for four.

  2. Rockets 57-3

    The pace is ever so slightly going up, but the Rockets need more to win this game.

  3. Rockets 55-3

    Sciver-Brunt goes well there finding the boundary. A straight drive that just clears the field. Sciver-Brunt up to 32 and she is the key for the Rockets in this chase.

  4. Rockets 50-3

    At the halfway stage, Rockets are 50-3 for, needing 75 to win off their final 50. Rockets could do with hitting the acceleration button.

    Spirit were 63-2 at this stage.

  5. Rockets 49-3

    Lauren Filer goes close to removing Wilson there. Wilson almost chopped one on to her own stumps, narrowly avoiding danger.

  6. Rockets 48-3

    Sciver-Brunt goes to 26 with a boundary, but it was a mis-field from Norris. Attempting to stop the ball on the boundary, the ball kept spinning and caught out Norris on the dive. The final ball of that set from Glenn is a dot ball.

  7. Rockets 41-3

    The Spirit are doing well to restrict the Rockets' scoring so far. They require 84 off 60 to win.

  8. Rockets 40-3

    A great shot from Fran Wilson to score her first boundary, on the back foot and she just clips it fine to the boundary.

  9. Rockets 36-3

    A good final four deliveries for Scrivens after being sent for four first ball. Amelia Kerr in to bowl next.

    In only the eighth set of this innings, this is Spirit's seventh different bowler.

  10. Rockets 33-3

    Sciver-Brunt advances to four, paddling Scrivens' first delivery of the match to the boundary rope. Scrivens finds Sciver-Brunt's pads with the next ball, but not deemed enough for a dismissal though.

    Hawkeye shows it was umpire's call.

    WICKET

    Kaur lbw b Glenn 3 (Rockets 29-3)

    A big wicket for Sarah Glenn and the Spirit in the final ball of her set as Harmanpreet Kaur is trapped lbw on just three. Some quick wickets coming for the Spirit. The definition of a plumb delivery.

    Glenn has Kaur out plumb lbw

  12. Rockets 25-2

    That's the end of the powerplay, with the Rockets going for a run-a-ball so far. England's Sarah Glenn is in next to bowl.

  13. wicket

    WICKET

    Smith lbw b Dean 7 (Rockets 23-2)

    Bryony Smith is gone on seven. A good delivery from Charlie Dean traps the Rockets opener, an important wicket.

  14. Rockets 21-1

    Charlie Dean starts her second set with a dot ball and we are back in action.

  15. The teams are coming back out here. A reminder that the Rockets are 21-1 with 80 balls left, chasing 125.

    Nat Sciver Brunt is 11*, Bryony Smith on 6*.

    Due to restart imminently here.

  16. As things stand, if there is no further rain, play will be resumed at 13:00 BST.

    No balls will have been lost if play resumes then.

  17. We've only had 20 balls of play in this innings so far, but already, we have had one wicket.

    Rockets opener Lizelle Lee fell for just four runs at the end of the opening set.

  18. The covers are coming off! Hopefully, we're in for a quick restart at Lord's.

  19. As things stand, if play does not restart, there will be no result. The minimum required balls to constitute a game is 25 a side, with the Rockets facing just 20 so far.

    Neither of these two sides have won a game yet, so they will both be eager to get back out there.

    This is not what we wanted to see. The covers are coming on and both teams are going off. The Rockets had started solidly, but that is now disrupted.

    Fingers crossed, it's only a short delay. We will keep you posted with all of the latest.
