2:00pm Right, that's all from us here. We're off for a lie down. If you're up for more Hundred action, Spirit-Rockets in the men's competition follows this at Lord's, with Welsh Fire hosting Southern Brave in the women's. Both kicking off in 30 minutes depending on the weather...
1:55pm Unsurprisingly, Nat Sciver-Brunt is the Match Hero. "After four games, it's really nice to get a win on the board and remembering what that winning feeling feels like."
On making the most of the last 10 deliveries with the short leg side: "The aim was not to neccesarily finish it with that short side, but not leave us too many in the last 10 (on the other side). We've obviously got a couple of niggles but hopefully we can regroup a little bit. We're on the bus to cardiff tomorrow so it's a quick turnaround!
1:53pm: SACHU: "Wow! What a moment to start watching the match. I felt a little disappointed when umpire called timeout just as I started watching. But what happened after that more than made up for it." A crucial timeout in the end - 37 off seven deliveries!

She's done it again! Good length, too good Sciver-Brunt, stepping across and smiting over midwicket!
Gibson to continue... with 12 needed from 15. What a turnaround!

Scrivens to Nat Sciver-Brunt, SIX runs
RISE AND SHINE QUEEN NSB! Another six, into the same region. Absolutely glorious. Scrivens gets her cap in dismay as the Rockets skipper turns this game on its head. 21 from the set - the highest ever in the women's Hundred!

Scrivens to Nat Sciver-Brunt, SIX runs
Oh wow! HUGE! Sciver-Brunt drops to one knee and smashes into the stands for the second six of the set! Complexion of this game has changed completely. 22 off 16...
83
1
Scrivens to Gardner, 1 run
Smeared across the line and well-fielded initially by Dean but a slight fumble allows a scampered single. Great three deliveries for Rockets

Scrivens to Gardner, SIX runs
Oh snap! Scrivens serves up a full toss and Garnder finally gets hold of one, over wide long on for six!
81

Scrivens to Gardner, FOUR runs
Oh no! Gardner pulls across the line and should only get one down to Grace Harris, but the Australian is a bit lax and gets nutmegged on the fence
Anish: "KSB's batting ability has been underused by the Rockets. They should consider to send her at 6 or 7." They probably would if she was playing! Scrivens into the attack

Nice back-of-the-hand slower ball keeps Sciver-Brunt to a single, as she hangs back and guides behind square on the off side

Gibson to Gardner, 1 run
Full toss, drive through extra cover but does not beat Knight at extra cover. It does mean NSB is back on strike though...

Dean to Gardner, no run
Brilliant finish from Dean - Slower, length pulled back. Gardner fails to pull effectively, and ends up hitting the ball into the ground back to the bowler

Dean to Gardner, no run
Similar delivery, pushed back to the bowler

Dean to Gardner, no run
Almost! Gardner goes back and plays for a delivery that doesn't turn and narrowly misses her off stump

Dean to Nat Sciver-Brunt, 1 run
Moves across to sweep a full delivery to backward square leg once more, as Kerr keeps it to one with good hands and throw

Dean to Nat Sciver-Brunt, no run
Just full of a good length, turning into Sciver-Brunt from a straight line, not worked away

Glenn's spell ends with a dot, punched to cover. Impressive figures of 2 for 19 from her 20.

Glenn to Dattani, OUT
Gone! Too full to go back, Dattani plays across the line and has her off stump knocked back. Poor shot but no less than Glenn deserves
