An account of the early match in today's 'double double header' in The Hundred - #TRvSB, and a photo gallery.

The 198th ball of the match is wide on the leg side and Chloe Tryon puts it away for the winning runs. Devine finishes with 41 not out, the highest individual score of the match, but I expect that Corteen-Coleman's 4-13 will win Player of the Match, as it should.

Rockets have taken this to the final five balls, which looked very unlikely when they were 55-8 in their innings, but with just three more needed and Devine on strike Brave have this under control.

Given Corteen-Coleman's figures earlier Kirstie Gordon as the home side's left arm orthodox spinner will be disappointed with her figures of 1-27 from 20 balls. Brave need 11 from ten balls with seven wickets standing.

Halfway in the chase and Brave are 52-2, needing 55 more off the last 50 balls.

Cassidy McCarthy is bowled by the last ball of the innings and it is 106 all out from 100 balls, a good recovery from 55-8, but surely a losing score.

Gordon goes caught by Corteen-Coleman off Devine for 32 (27) and it is 106-9 with one ball to go in the innings.

50 partnership up between Gordon and King, with a four to Gordon which sees her become the first person to top the 30 mark this match.

100 up for Trent Rockets, and King is into the 20s.

Kirstie Gordon is now outright top scorer for Trent Rockets on 28 not out. A six to King off the next ball moves Rockets to within sight of three figures, which looked unlikely when this pair came together.
