Tammy Beaumont strikes two more fours to move to 67.
I'm going to say it.
No-one has ever hit a hundred in the women's Hundred...

That's lovely from Sarah Bryce too - the right-hander skipping down and clearly extra cover.
The Welsh Fire are flying. Another couple to Bryce later in the over brings up the century after just 55 balls.

We've just seen the Hawk-eye of that lbw decision. Had Sophia Dunkley reviewed she would have overturned the decision because the technology says the ball pitched outside leg.
Sarah Bryce is the new batter.

Ah.
Trent Rockets have their first wicket as Sophia Dunkley misses a sweep to Alana King and is hit on the pad.
The umpire quickly raises her finger and Dunkley, after a quick chat with her batting partner, decides against a review.

The highest score ever made in the women's Hundred is Southern Brave's 166-3 in 2021 against the Fire at the Ageas Bowl.
That will go today if things continue.
50 for Tammy Beaumontpublished at Ball 41
Tammy Beaumont sweeps for four again and it takes her to her fifty from just 25 deliveries.
She waves her bat in appreciation of the applause from her home crowd.

What could Welsh Fire get to after this excellent start?
160 or 170 looks very much in reach.

The break in play almost works! Tammy Beaumont skews the ball in the air off spinner Bryony Smith but the ball falls into a space over extra cover.

This might be my favourite shot so far...

Pumped down the ground for six by Sophia Dunkley. That has gone up into the wind and kept on going.
Rockets skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt decides it's time for a strategic timeout.

Tammy Beaumont is in serious form...

Beaumont 38, Dunkley 14
Sophia Dunkley has been watching the Beaumont show from the other end but now plays an inventive reverse sweep to get her second boundary of the day.
If Dunkley gets going as well as Beaumont then things could turn ugly for the Rockets.

And Tammy Beaumont ends the set by, you guessed it, striking another four.
She has 37 not out from just 16 balls.

As I suspected.
The ball would have gone on to miss leg stump.

This looks to be missing leg stump...

The Rockets want another look at an lbw shout against Sophia Dunkley...
