- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 chipped to cover! Slower delivery on a full length on off, and it is lifted to the fielder for an easy catch. Soft dismissal in the end 8/117.4 short third man gobbles that easily! Rodrigues goes across off stump by also coming down a step or two to this full delivery outside off, but can only get that off the top edge to send the ball sailing, with her slog not finding the timing this time. Another excellent knock comes to an end 107/310.2 another leading edge that lands in extra cover's hands. She loses her bottom hand while trying to flick that full ball on middle, but doesn't get it anywhere near the middle of the bat as the ball seemed to be angling in a touch 61/218.4 right into the hands of deep midwicket. Slower delivery and tossed up full on middle and off, as she comes down the ground to get to the pitch of the ball, but still found the fielder running to her left 111/419.4 Run-out at the keeper's end! Very full on off - almost a yorker - as it is pushed to long-off and they scamper for a second, which would have been very difficult indeed. But Heath dives and can't get back home, with the throw arriving close to the stumps, where the keeper's whips it off 124/5Extras5 (w 5)TOTAL126/5 (20 Overs, RR: 6.3 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Lauren Winfield-Hill, 1.3 ov), 2-61 (Laura Wolvaardt, 10.2 ov), 3-107 (Jemimah Rodrigues, 17.4 ov), 4-111 (Alice Davidson-Richards, 18.4 ov), 5-124 (Bess Heath, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 Smith strikes second ball! Flighted, invites the big shot, but Dattani only dollies a catch into the covers aiming down the ground! Think she was attempting to hit with the spin, but none materialised... Russell jogged in and held it reverse-cup 13/117.2 goes for the big hit but picks out deep square leg! Slower ball, Beaumont jumped across her stumps and attempted to fetch this into the Mound Stand... but sent it straight down the throat of Rodrigues! Big wicket for Superchargers, and the pressure cranks up on Dottin 107/38.1 fired in and Knight misses with a reverse - given! Knight reviews, did she get a flick of bat on it? Not according to UltraEdge, and this is going to be close, I reckon. What does ball-tracking say? Crashing into middle and leg! Huge blow for Spirit, the captain falls to Smith 51/2Extras4 (lb 2, w 2)TOTAL129/3 (19.3 Overs, RR: 6.58 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Naomi Dattani, 2.2 ov), 2-51 (Heather Knight, 8.1 ov), 3-107 (Tammy Beaumont, 17.2 ov)
