Sciver-Brunt: "It was important to keep going in the middle overs since we had some strong batters coming up. We just need to keep brave and positive. We've done that even though the results haven't gone our way. They've got some difficult batters to bowl at, so we need to be clear with our plans."

12.12pm Upper hand Trent Rockets for sure. Smith's first-ball run-out showed that the Rockets were intending to play aggressively, and that was clearly shown by Scrivens (36), Sciver-Brunt (60*), Gardner (18) and Graham (15). It's a terrific batting pitch, but with runs on the board, you'd have to think the Rockets are favourites.

As for the Brave, some sloppy fielding aside, their best bowler was Cheatle. Conceded only 13 runs in her 20-ball spell. Bell ended with a three-four courtesy the final over, but was also expensive. Be back soon with Himanshu for the chase.

Bell to George, OUT, full ball around leg. She launches into a big shot, but can't get under it. Holes out at long on and Trent Rockets finish on 155!

Bell to George, FOUR, belted down the ground! Straight as an arrow. Full ball just outside off and clubbed over the umpire's head. So straight that long on couldn't cut it off
