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."

Levick to Freeborn, no run

floated up full on the stumps, this time she's hit on the forearm sweeping... Not given but Superchargers review, how close was this? Plenty of dip and bounce and Hawk-Eye has it going over

Levick to Bryce, OUT

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

Davidson-Richards to K Sciver-Brunt, FOUR runs

stomps down and mullers four through midwicket! Nearly took the fielder with it... Brunt is not happy! Can she channel that fury?

89
Davidson-Richards to K Sciver-Brunt, no run

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?

Davidson-Richards to Graves, OUT

tries to smash her off a length, ends up skying the ball straight up! Legcutter from Davidson-Richards, she's bowled that well today, flummoxes the batter as she swung across the line and it went nowhere, Winfield-Hill walking up to bag the catch right by the stumps

Russell to K Sciver-Brunt, no run

backs away, but Russell isn't falling for it and bowls in the channel... Brunt topples over trying to reach it, and then sits frowning at the umpire. Winfield-Hill broke the stumps as she went down, too. Imagine Brunt's face if she had been stumped there
