well stopped by the deep-cover fielder, who moves to her left to take it on the bounce. A nice loft off a length ball around off, as Tryon remained unbeaten on 47
Rockets vs Brave, 24th Match at Southampton, Women's Hundred, Aug 10 2024 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Rockets remain in the hunt for the playoffs, as they beat Brave by 24 runs. They are currently fifth on the points table, but it doesn't take much for fortunes to turn around. The action at the Hundred continues today, with three other games coming up. So hang tight, as we bring you all the ball-by-ball drama. Until later, see you!
Nat Sciver-Brunt is the Hero of the Match: "Really happy with today. Their batters put us under the pump, and made us go through a few plans. After a few games, we felt pretty down. But we've come back pretty strongly in the last two games."
1.33pm So Brave still can't win at home. They were 1 for 2 in a big chase of 156, and although the stand between Mandhana and Adams promised plenty, the latter's run-out turned things around, as most of us suspected it would. Mandhana hit 42 while Tryon got 47, but that was hardly enough, as Rockets' bowlers - especially Stonehouse - executed nicely to bag two points.
full ball on off, but seams back in. Swiped to deep midwicket
a yorker swinging into leg, and driven back to long-off to just beat the bowler to her left
very full on middle and off, and heaved to deep midwicket
full and wide of off. Slashed towards long-off aerially
this flies over midwicket! She backs away again, and belts this fuller ball angling into leg with a sweet sound off the bat
over long-on! She makes room, and clobbers this full and tossed-up ball on middle and off
just short of the deep-midwicket fielder running and diving forward! The ball was bowled short and quick, as Tryon banged it back with a pull
down the pitch, and the length becomes very full on off. Swung away off the inside half of the bat towards midwicket
full and loopy on middle, and driven to long-on
fullish ball, and slightly wide of off. Heaved across to long-on
full ball on middle, and hoicked off the bottom of the bat. The ball rolls towards square leg
on a length, and around sixth stump. Swiped to long-on after reaching out for the ball
yorker on middle and off, and heaved away off the inside half of the bat towards fine leg. She was hardly in control of that shot
ohhh, very full and just outside leg. Tryon makes room to look to loft, but misses
another missed stumping! Very full ball outside off, as she looked to flick but missed. The ball wasn't collected cleanly by the keeper, even as Tryon was well outside the crease
on the bounce to deep midwicket moving to her left! Short in length again, as she thrashed a pull
a length ball angling in, and pitching on middle and leg. Swiped to deep midwicket
the batter and keeper both miss, and it is four byes! Short of a length from Sciver-Brunt on leg, as the extra bounce meant Tryon was beaten on her attempted pull, with the keeper blinded too by her movement to the leg side
fullish ball on off, and driven to mid-off's right
