chipped to mid-on with an angled bat, Southern Brave win and Dunkley gets to her fifty! Again down the track to this full ball on middle and off, and just lobbed that to the fielder, who at first thought of throwing, but decided against it in the end, realising that both batters were home

Full commentary
Some drama here for the chase, but in the end, 89 is chased down with a good 13 of them remaining. Anyway, don't forget to join us for the men's encounter at the same ground, with Matt already having launched the game for you. Cheers!
Dunkley is the Hero of the Match: "It was a nice wicket. Bouchier came in and did a nice job. We wanted to improve from the last game. [Charlotte Edwards, the coach] helps with the simple things and the basics."
6.20pm That is two points for Brave, and they are three clear at the top of the table. They were 5 for 2 and then 26 for 3, but Dunkley and Bouchier - who made 33 from just 19 balls - ensured no more trouble for their side.
