12:04pm The Superchargers have huffed and puffed their way to 100. That may be a psychological boost, but not much more than that (at least by the looks of it so far). They never really got going, losing their overseas batting stars Litchfield and Rodrigues inside the field restrictions. Kelly tried to hold the innings together but kept running out of partners, before perishing for the cause with 19 balls left. The Superchargers really struggled thereafter, and they will now have to bowl out of their skins to defend this total.

The Brave, meanwhile, will be thrilled with how they bowled. Almost everyone performed their role to perfection, with captain Shrubsole leading the charge at the start and setting the tone. The spinners then applied the squeeze and that means they now have a very chaseable total in front of them. Of course, nothing in this sport can be taken for granted but if they get off to a decent start, it would be interesting to see if they target a big win to swell their NRR. Join us in a bit for the run-chase!

Rhianna Southby: I don't think I was anywhere near my best in the first two games so nice to get out today (and get these dismissals). Full credit to the bowlers, to bowl like that. This has been such a good performance for us so far, especially after the last game. Hopefully the batters, with the form they are in, knock this (total) off.

Bell to Wareham, 2 runs, another slower bumper on middle and leg. Wareham swings herself off her feet and drags it towards deep square leg for a couple of runs

Right. Wareham back on strike for the final ball. Can she finish with a flourish?
