99b to TT Beaumont, darted in outside leg stump... hoicked down square leg's throat! Beaumont falls for a magnificent 118 and Rockets' fielders take turns to shape her hand as she walks off to a standing ovation. She soaks up the applause once again, raising her bat as she wanders back to embrace her team-mates in the dugout. 181/2 100b to L Harris, swiped to wide long-off! Gordon gets two in two to finish the innings but it's scant consolation for the Rockets. 181/3 See all photos

46b to SIR Dunkley, struck on the pad sweeping, and given! Dunkley confers with Beaumont but decides not to review and is spewing at herself on her way off. The legbreak pitches in line with leg stump and smashes into the knee roll, and umpire Bambury wasted no time in giving her out.... in fact, replays confirm it pitched just outside leg stump, a review would have saved her!. 81/1

73b to J Gardner, knocks out her off stump! Hartley roars in celebration. On a length, Gardner skips down looking to swipe her away over mid-off and it thuds into off stump, knocking it out of its groove. 118/4
Claire Nicholas	15	7	23	0	1.53	0	3	0	0
Shabnim Ismail	20	8	23	1	1.15	3	0	0	0
44b to L Lee, half-volley, lofts to mid-off running back! Lee couldn't get going, and looked to launch a slot ball over the infield. But Davies tracked back and settled under a steepling catch, taking it Aussie-style above her head. 78/1
Freya Davies	20	8	19	2	0.95	2	0	0	0
50b to BF Smith, slips out as a juicy full toss, but Smith can't time it and Dunkley dives forwards to take a good catch at deep midwicket! Looked like an attempted slower ball gone wrong, which slipped out at shin height. But Smith's leg-side heave only made it as far as Dunkley, 10 yards in off the rope. 83/2 88b to FC Wilson, in the slot, clears the front leg and holes out to long-on! Ismail hardly has to move. Swung hard but not enough elevation or power. 129/5

54b to Nat Sciver-Brunt, dragged down, drilled back and Dunkley clings onto a stinger! NSB plays off the back foot, looking to force it back past the bowler. Dunkley sticks her hands out above her left shoulder, and it sticks!. 89/3
