    16.2 one brings two for the Rockets! Back of a length delivery on middle and off. Mandhana stays back, trying to get the leverage to clear square leg. Gets a decent chunk of it but not the elevation she desires. Hits it straight to Gardner, who does the rest! 128/3
    8.2 in the air and taken! Given a bit of air on a length on middle and leg. Wyatt backs away, trying to go over the off side. The ball, though, just holds in the surface a shade and Wyatt is early into her stroke. Spoons it up and NSB runs back from extra cover (towards long off) to complete a smart take! 65/1
    15.3 Bouchier bites the dust! King gives it plenty of air outside off and Bouchier's eyes light up. She tries to go inside out but is not quite to the pitch of the ball. She has to reach out in the end and gets a thick outside edge that lobs up to short third. A sprightly knock comes to an end! 128/2
    17.5 cleans her up with a corker! Sizzling yorker that hones in on middle and off stump. Seems like Kemp has not picked this and is awfully late in bringing her bat down. By then, though, the ball has breezed past the bat and smashed into the stumps. The Rockets keep chipping away! 139/4

    19.1 holes out to long off! Given a hint of air just outside off. Adams takes a step down the track and swings at it. Gets a good chunk of it but not enough power to get it over KSB, who tears across to her right from long off and gobbles up the chance! 150/5
    19.5 angled into leg stump. Brown backs away and heaves it towards deep backward square leg. They decide to come back for the second and looks like Brown might be struggling here. Stretches to make her ground but is just short as Lee collects the throw cleanly and whips off the bails! 157/6

    oh dear, absolute chaos and the Rockets have gotten off to the worst possible start! Full delivery fired down the leg side. Smith does not get bat on it and the keeper fumbles too. Lee and Smith then decide to have a mid-pitch conversation and Southern Brave have all the time in the world to effect a run-out at the batter's end! Smith is not happy with what transpired, and she has reason to be miffed. Lee called her through before sending her back when she was mid-way! 1/1
    5.2 the pressure tells! Lee departs! Full delivery outside off that might just have moved away a touch. Lee has a mow at it but loses shape completely. Skies it and Brown does the rest at point! 21/3
    3.2 straight to the fielder! Full on leg stump. Dattani gets her front foot out of the way and tries to whip it over a very straight deep square leg. She times it well enough but hits it too flat. Kemp judges the catch to perfection and hands the Brave their second wicket! 12/2
    15.5 Shrubsole gets NSB! What a moment in the game! Full and darted into leg stump. NSB tries to give herself room and lift it over the bowler. The ball is too full, though, and she cannot get the elevation she desires, chipping it straight back to Shrubsole in the end! 103/6
    11.4 goes for the slog again but Kaur gets it wrong this time! Slowed up a touch on a length just outside off. Kaur gets down on one knee but on this occasion, tries to hit it a little too square. The bat face closes and the ball pops up off the leading edge. Southby settles under it and completes a fairly regulation take. Is that the game? 66/4
    13.4 the Rockets lose another! Slightly quicker and into the stumps. Wilson, looking at the fullish length, tries to go downtown. Does not get the power she is after, though, and arrows it straight down Bouchier's throat at long on! 77/5
    18.1 Gardner perishes! Slower delivery on a full length outside off that dips on the batter late. Gardner opens up her stance and tries to smash it over cow corner but because the ball is quite wide, she can only slice it straight to Kemp at cover point 120/7
