5.50pm: The Northern lasses have started extremely well in this tournament, keeping the Trent Bridge crowd quiet - but Sciver will doubtless be wondering why she didn't review that lbw appeal against Rodrigues in Brunt's opening spell. Anyway, no time to dwell on that, as the Rocketmen are about to take the field, looking for a second win in a row; Ben Stokes' Superchargers are looking for their first points of the comp. Go get some. Bye!
5.40pm: Second impressive win in a row for Northern Superchargers, as home advantage fails Trent Rockets again. They gave themselves too much work to do, failing to take early wickets as Superchargers got away from them on the back of another Jemimah Rodrigues fifty. Nat Sciver looked in the mood for a takedown, but once she fell, the rate began to climb; Katherine Brunt was belligerent to the last but just couldn't find the ropes when needed.
Jemimah Rodrigues is Hero of the Match again: "When you're timing the ball well, make the most of it. I learned that while I was sitting out so just trying to extend the form. In the last game, I didn't get many balls in the Powerplay, today I wasn't timing it initially. The wicket was slow, but I knew if I stayed until the end I could make up for that, and then Laura came in and hit [several] boundaries and that took the pressure off. [Settling in?] Not a new group, because I was with most of them in 2019. It's like family, in the team meetings we discussed going out to have fun. Mumbai wickets have helped me playing spin."

flighted and it grips as Bryce clears the front leg... skews a top edge into the covers! She had to swing for the fences, but it goes straight to hand. Big of a celebratory jig from Levick. Superchargers nearly there

another change-up from ADR and Brunt fails to connect with an almighty yahoo!
"@Amit: half century from Kirk and 4 wickets for Graves set up Lightning to beat Sunrisers recently," reports Edmund Thomas. Surely no need to hide Kirk down in the tail, then?
