    3.4 hack across the line, straight into Johnson's hands at mid-on! Bizarre shot selection from Wyatt, clearly feeling the need to force the pace after a slow start. Hard length, cramping Wyatt for room on the pull, and it's a horrible shot really, skewing straight up and hanging in the air as mid-on settled underneath it 14/3
    1.1 brilliant catch at deep midwicket, Smriti is gone second ball! Mandhana decides she needs to force the pace after a quiet start and looks to clear the fielder in the deep from a length ball outside off. Kirk settles under it, and clings onto a tumbling catch! 1/1
    2.4 Brilliant work at mid-off and this looks like a run-out! Gone for all money, confirms the third umpire. Dunkley used the feet again and drilled this straight to Glenn on the bounce at mid-off. Lightning-fast pick-up-and-throw to the bowler's end, and Bryce gathered cleanly to whip the bails off with Dunkley scrambling to make her ground. The Rockets have lift-off... 8/2

    8.4 miscued straight to short extra cover! End of a promising partnership. Full, spinning legbreak, and Bouchier got a leading edge, looking to whip leg-side. Simplest of catches, and Glenn makes the breakthrough 49/4
    10.5 nailed to backward point! AJW never got going and needed to force the pace so gave herself room outside leg stump, shimmying down. But she drilled the cut straight to Freeborn in close, who made no mistake 57/5

    0.4 slogged without timing, Mandhana stoops for the grab at mid-on! Length ball, Priest was looking to go over the top but couldn't get hold it and sent a tame chip towards the edge of the ring... nearly didn't carry to Mandhana in the end, but she was alert and got forward 4/1
    1.3 skewed to midwicket, another one goes! Pitched up, shaping in and Johnson ends up dragging it, rather than hitting straight - nice, catchable height for Stafanie Taylor, who makes no mistake 9/2
    12.4 beautifully bowled, Sciver's a goner! Think that was back-of-the-hand from Bell, it went up and down as Sciver tried to come down the track, she got nowhere near the pitch and it skidded on low to rattle the woodwork. That's a massive wicket for Brave, with Sciver looking in ominous touch 75/3
    13.1 No! She can only find a fielder in the ring! Full and flighted and Brunt was aiming a slog-sweep but sent it tamely up for a simple catch at square leg. Another big breakthrough at a crucial time for Brave 76/4
    19.4 slogged high into the leg side, and well held! A third wicket for Shrubsole, hit-out-or-get-out time for Graham but it took a good running catch from Wyatt at deep midwicket 110/6
    19.2 full and straight, up goes the finger! Freeborn just couldn't get the ball away, she was looking to ramp this but missed and was hit bang in front of middle and off 109/5

    19.5 hits the off stump, Shrubsole finishes it with her fourth and raises a fist triumphantly! Slower ball, I think, dipping under the cross-batted swipe. Brave's captain finishes with four-for, and the Rockets have been downed 110/7
