  1. Rockets 93-3published at 58 balls

    Good from Hain, keeping it ticking by nudging the ball to edge of the circle, running hard and pinching two. 150 would be a good score.

  2. Invincibles struggling as Kapp departspublished at 60 balls

    Invincibles 63-3

    Marizanne Kapp mistimes a pull off Maitlan Brown, but can only find international team-mate Chloe Tryon on the square leg boundary.

    The South African departs for 27 to leave Brave well on top with 40 balls remaining.

    That is a lovely shot from Hain, he plays quality cricket strokes. He's targeting that short boundary.

  4. Rockets 87-3published at 55 balls

    Now Hain goes inside-out over cover for four. Sangha is going the distance. He's gone for 24 off 10 balls.

    It's not easy bowling to Munro with that short leg-side. Sangha is under pressure.

  6. Rockets 81-3published at 51 balls

    Gets away with the free hit. Only a single.

  7. 6 runs

    Rockets 80-3published at 50 balls

    Fetch it. Tanveer Sangha back and clobbered for six by the left-handed Munro. And it's a no-ball.

  8. Rockets 72-3published at 50 balls

    Halfway. Tight. Neither side too unhappy given the two-paced state of the pitch. Second innings might be hard to chase.

  9. Rockets 68-3published at 46 balls

    Colin Munro is the new man, picking up an early boundary thanks to a misfield on the leg side by Chris Benjamin.

  10. Brave continue to restrict Invinciblespublished at 50 balls

    Invincibles 51-2

    Suzie Bates is looking visibly frustrated as she struggles to accelerate the scoring, slamming her bat into her pads after hitting the ball straight to the cover fielder along the ground.

    Invincibles have managed just two boundaries in the last 25 balls.

    It's very hard to hit straight down the ground on this pitch. These middle overs are a dangerous time for the Trent Rockets.

    WICKETpublished at 42 balls

    Kohler-Cadmore c Livingstone b Moeen 11 (Rockets 57-3)

    Superb from Liam Livingstone, who was halfway through signing an autograph as the hit from Tom Kohler-Cadmore came his way at long off. Livingstone threw down the pen, took the catch, then carried on signing.

  13. Rockets 57-2published at 41 balls

    Ben Duckett is now talking about his own range of hats, Duckett's Bucketts. Honestly, give the man a talk show.

  14. Rockets 56-2published at 40 balls

    Chatting about the slowness of the pitch. Have a look at these wickets. Very hard to get after the bowling when the pace is taken off.

    Trent Rockets will feel in a fairly decent position with their progress for far, they have a good foundation to push forward.

    The pitch is slow but there is one very short boundary so Trent Rockets have to get above 150.

  17. Rockets 50-2published at 35 balls

    Much-needed boundary. TKC heaves across the line to cow corner. Ben Duckett was trying to around but the ball bounced over him. A taller man might have stopped it.

  18. Invincibles struggling for momentumpublished at 30 balls

    Invincibles 29-2

    The Southern Brave bowlers continue to strangle the scoring, with Invincibles managing just one boundary from the next two sets.

    Brave's cause is helped by having the tournament's top wicket-taker in their side, with off-spinner Georgia Adams coming into the attack looking to add to her 14 wickets so far.

  19. Rockets 46-2published at 32 balls

    Field spread. Kane Richardson using his variations. Boundaries tough to come by.

  20. Rockets 43-2published at 30 balls

    Seven off those five balls. No boundaries. Decent start by the leggie.
