Blaze 81-4 v Vipers

Tammy Beaumont hits the ball straight back to the midriff of bowler Georgia Adams.

It's a straightforward catch, but Adams juggles it and it goes down.

A second let-off for Beaumont who is still there on 31 from 61 balls.

Will they come to regret that?

Ava Lee is giving the Blaze batters absolutely no pace to work with.

Another tight over which brings just two singles apiece for Tammy Beaumont and Kathryn Bryce.

The run rate is a smidge under four an over. No prizes for guessing which side will be happier with that.

Almost a big wicket.

Tammy Beaumont decides to cut loose, but top-edges an attempted sweep off Georgia Adams and only just the clears the head of the fielder.

It's a third boundary for the England batter but a little streaky.

Ava Lee's off spin comes into the Vipers attack.

Tammy Beaumont is having to play the anchor role here play down her attacking instincts.

She has 22 from 51 balls.

Lee lets out a big shout for leg before off her final ball, but Beaumont looks to have a bit of bat on that. Maiden.

"She didn't get the bat down in time - and closing the face of the bat and playing across it didn't help. From a Vipers point of view, while (Tammy) Beaumont is out there, they won't feel totally comfortable."

"I've seen the Vipers bowl better. We're putting it down to the ball being a little greasy."

Charlie Dean gives a rather half-hearted appeal for lbw off Georgia Boyce.

It brooks no favour.

A late turn of the wrists from Boyce who sends a square drive through the covers to the rope for her first boundary.

The next ball gets the same treatment - picking the gap perfectly for back-to-back fours.

A good over for The Blaze - 10 from it.

They're rattling through the overs here with spin at both ends.

Nice placement from Tammy Beaumont as she scampers back through for a second run.

But just three from skipper Georgia Adams' first over.

Blaze 51-3 v Vipers

Tammy Beaumont is looking to push things along, but Charlie Dean restricts her to a single.

Georgia Adams is doing some frantic work with the towel to dry the ball before tossing it back to her bowler.

But another wide comes brings up the fifty for the Blaze in the 14th over.

Georgia Adams comes on to bowl.

More legside wides from Georgia Elwiss and an eight-ball over this time.

But she also sends down six dots so just three from the over.

"It snuck through in what seemed like slow motion. She was almost frozen in that forward position."

Blaze 39-2 v Vipers

Tammy Beaumont hammers the ball straight down the wicket and Linsey Smith almost pouches it over her shoulder.

It would have been a super catch.

A misfield from Freya Kemp then allows Sarah Bryce to take another boundary.

The powerplay is over. The Blaze have recovered pretty well after a terrible start.

Not a great start from Georgia Elwiss.

Her first ball is loose and Rhianna Southby behind the timbers cannot stop it as the ball runs away for five wides.

A decent recovery from Elwiss as she concedes just one more single from the over.

Linsey Smith is keeping Tammy Beaumont quiet. For now at least.

Beaumont looks to give herself room but cannot pierce the field.

Just a single from the eighth over.

Another tight over from the Vipers.

Linsey Smith keeps good control all six balls, and Sarah Bryce and Tammy Beaumont manage just a single apiece.
