- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.1 calamitous run-out! A flick off the toes to the full length, straight to midwicket, who gathers cleanly, fires the ball in on the bounce to the bowler, who whips off the bails with Smith well short as she aborts her run and fails to regain her ground! 21/31.2 tight line, swinging back in and plinking the top of off! Lovely delivery and Sunrisers have their breakthrough 6/11.4 huge inswinger, and clean through the gate! Scholfield falls to a booming drive, stumps splattered, and now Stars are in some strife! 6/245.3 gets in a tangle, as Villiers rips an offbreak into the front pad. ADR was playing all around that, and up goes the finger! What a magnificent innings, but Stars so needed her to bat through! 209/911.4 back of a length, skidding on as Chathli pulls, misses... and is given out lbw! Didn't get up, looked perilously close to leg stump and Jack Shantry puts up his finger after a moment's deliberation. Third of the day for Coppack, Stars four down 53/424.3 superb bowling, and Cranstone is done in every sense! This looks rather painful, in fact. She was drawn onto the front foot but beaten by a big ripping googly. The keeper whipped off the bails but Cranstone thrust her leg back to try to regain her ground and might have popped her groin or hamstring in the process... certainly did the splits rather uncomfortably 123/535.4 inswinger from Coppack and she's struck a key blow in her final over! Franklin got a bit greedy with the launch across the line, and was beaten on the good length, clean through the gate. Might have been more prudent to see off this over! 173/638.1 pushed down the ground, deflected by the bowler to mid-on, and a suicidal single! Never a chance of a run there, could have been out at either end. In the end, the shy comes back to the keeper, with MacDonald-Gay nowhere near the frame! 179/743.6 attempted reverse-sweep, not very effectively executed. Pinned in front of all three. ADR is at risk of being stranded 202/846.2 punched straight cover, the Stars innings it going to end in another run-out! Corteen-Coleman called for one that wasn't there, Gregory told her as much - but she couldn't get back in to beat the throw to Carr behind the stumps 212/10Extras17 (lb 6, nb 1, w 10)TOTAL212 all out (46.2 Overs, RR: 4.57)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Alexa Stonehouse, 1.2 ov), 2-6 (Paige Scholfield, 1.4 ov), 3-21 (Bryony Smith, 5.1 ov), 4-53 (Kira Chathli, 11.4 ov), 5-123 (Aylish Cranstone, 24.3 ov), 6-173 (Phoebe Franklin, 35.4 ov), 7-179 (Ryana MacDonald-Gay, 38.1 ov), 8-202 (Kalea Moore, 43.6 ov), 9-209 (Alice Davidson-Richards, 45.3 ov), 10-212 (Tilly Corteen-Coleman, 46.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.2 pinned on the back foot in front of leg stump! Gardner is gone for a golden duck. Looked pretty adjacent, deep in the crease. Stars have the early wicket they needed 6/116.2 floated full, Griffiths goes hard... drilled into the hands of cover! Sharp catch low down, and that's the breakthrough Stars needed 85/220.2 round the wicket, sticks in the pitch from back of a length, Grewcock is unsure whether to stick or twist and pops a looping chance back to the bowler! Wickets are Stars' route back here, and they are picking them off 104/3Extras6 (lb 1, w 5)TOTAL121/3 (25 Overs, RR: 4.84)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Joanne Gardner, 1.2 ov), 2-85 (Cordelia Griffith, 16.2 ov), 3-104 (Jodi Grewcock, 20.2 ov)
