Capsey stars as Invincibles blow away winless Fire
Oval Invincibles 150-6 (100 balls): Capsey 55 (34); Matthews 2-18
Welsh Fire 111 (96 balls): Dunkley 56 (41); Smale 3-13
Invincibles won by 39 runs
Scorecard. Table
Alice Capsey whacked her second half-century in this year's edition of The Hundred as Oval Invincibles eased to a 40-run win over winless Welsh Fire.
Capsey's 55 off 34 balls featured seven fours and one six as she provided the backbone of the Invincibles' imposing total of 150-6.
It was the 21-year-old's second fifty in as many matches following a lean run which had seen her score just one half-century in her past 32 T20 or Hundred innings.
Capsey has also struggled in England colours this summer with five single-figure scores in six T20 international innings, but this was another outing brimming with confident strokeplay.
It was almost a shock when Capsey was out - the crowd stunned when she was dismissed caught and bowled by Shabnim Ismail, who bagged 2-31.
Marizanne Kapp took over where Capsey left off and boosted the total with an unbeaten 47 off 32 balls while Hayley Matthews bowled tightly to collect 2-18.
Set the highest chase in the women's tournament at The Oval - and the fourth highest overall - Fire lost the dangerous Matthews early on for 12.
Sophia Dunkley carried the charge and looked well poised to make a fist of it with a knock of 56 off 41 balls.
But when she chipped Sophia Smale into the hands of Phoebe Franklin at long-off with the score on 90-6 and 29 balls Fire's hopes were effectively extinguished.
Capsey also impressed with the ball, finishing with 2-16, as Fire were bowled out for 111 with Smale the pick of the attack after she snaffled 3-13.
Invincibles' win lifts them up a place to fourth spot, level on eight points with fifth-placed Manchester Originals, while Fire are bottom on zero.

Scorecard. Table
Teenager Tilly Corteen-Coleman claimed 4-13 as Southern Brave moved top of The Hundred standings with a six-wicket victory over Trent Rockets.
The 17-year-old left-arm spinner helped reduce the Rockets to 55-8 before Kirstie Gordon's battling 32 from 27 boosted their total to 106.
Corteen-Coleman's victims included England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt as she finished with her best figures in her 12th match of the tournament.
England seamer Lauren Bell was also in the wickets as she snared an impressive 3-16 from her 20 balls to extend her lead as the top wicket-taker in this year's competition.
Brave had a bit of top-order wobble at the start of the chase at 10-2 when Danni Wyatt-Hodge and Laura Wolvaardt departed for four and one respectively.
Maia Bouchier steadied the ship with 42 off 30 balls in a 69-run stand with Sophie Devine, only to be stumped after dancing down the pitch to Aussie all-rounder Alana King.
Some tight bowling from Ash Gardner, Heather Graham and King ensured the game went down to the final set of five balls but Devine's unbeaten 41 ensured Brave got home with two balls to spare.
Brave are now four points clear of second-placed Northern Superchargers at the top of the table on 16 points while the Rockets remain in sixth.

The Premier League returns, Isak runs away and West Ham fraudulence
Just like the Premier League, our weekly feature on the best football posts from social media is back! That said, some fans are less excited about the top flight's return than others. This prediction did not go the way this Wolves supporter had in mind. Read – Tell you what, though; Sunderland are very happy to be back in the big time right now. The early signs are not looking great for West Ham, mind you. Unfortunately, we will have to go through this season without one of the most chaotically entertaining players in the game after Liverpool sold Darwin Nunez. Liverpool are hoping to replace Darwin with Alexander Isak, who has decided to move out of Newcastle before a transfer has even been completed. Read – Hell hath no fury like a football fan whose club has sold one of their players to a rival. Everton pulled off one of the deals of the summer by signing Jack Grealish on loan. Read – The winger is following the path laid by some of the true greats of the game. It's a move that signals the Barclays is well and truly back. Surely someone at Chelsea has at the very least floated this idea? Read – The Alejandro Garnacho updates from Fabrizio Romano are just empty calories at this point. This is both nonsense and makes complete sense at the same time. So how has Gameweek 1 of Fantasy Premier League been for you so far? Read – This is some great taunting from West Brom following their win over Wrexham. That's a defeat, alright. Read – See Also – Follow The Football Faithful on Social Media: | | | |

Blackburn Rovers' 'clear vision' as transfer decisions are made
Valerien Ismael says decisions have been made on which young players will go out on loan with Jake Batty and Harry Leonard likely to go out. The head coach has spent pre-season assessing which Academy talents might be ready to make the step up. Nick Michalski, Kristi Montgomery and Igor Tyjon are all now considered as first-team players with Lorenze Mullarkey-Matthews also catching the eye. As the end of the transfer window draws closer, Rovers have decisions to make on which players would be better served continuing their development elsewhere. Charlie Olson joined Oldham Athletic this week and more deals could be in the pipeline. Leonard has not featured in any of the pre-season fixtures and hasn't been part of any squads. READ MORE: As a result, he is likely to be loaned out before September 1, whilst Batty too might search for regular football after spending last season with Accrington Stanley. "Yes, I think that through the pre-season, we had a clear overview of all the academy boys," Ismael told The Lancashire Telegraph when asked about those players. "They got the chance to play, to show up. Now we have a clear vision and a clear opinion on everyone. "The players, we think they need more time to play. They will go out on loan. The others, we think we have to push them. "They will stay with us, to train with us and at least to play with the Under-21s. So now, all the decisions are made. It's all about what is the best option for those players. Ismael handed full debuts to Michalski and Tyjon on Tuesday night against Bradford City. It was a tough evening for some and a learning curve about the brutality of first-team football. The Frenchman insists that players need time to grow but their true quality must be shown on the pitch. "I just tell them that at some point, the pitch always tells the truth," he explained. "We can speak about talent and a high-rated player, and think about the future. They are good players, but the reality is on the pitch. "They just to learn, to understand what's going on, and when you have to perform, you have to perform at the right time."

Sunderland and the Stadium of Light get the emotional exorcism they need on Premier League return
The Stadium of Light, for so long, was where Premier League aspirations came to die. There were fleeting moments of joy, enough to help its tenants stage a series of escapes from relegation to the Championship, but it became a venue synonymous with Sunderland's perennial struggle. Just 18 wins came from the last 76 games played on Wearside before the Premier League lights were turned off in the spring of 2017. None at all were found in the final 13. Sunderland's home became listless and drab, where even the energy to complain had been sapped. Advertisement Eight years away from the Premier League dragged Sunderland to darker places still, down to their historic nadirs of League One, but in a city by the sea is a club and its fans now riding a wave. An opening day victory over West Ham United brought the latest release of euphoria 10 weeks after promotion was dramatically won through the Championship play-offs. Three second-half goals conquered the nerves of a reintroduction to the elite, and the Stadium of Light savoured every moment. 'We could feel the energy,' said head coach Regis Le Bris afterwards. This mattered more than Sunderland might have cared to admit on the eve of this new season. Winning 3-0 amounted to an emotional exorcism back in the Premier League, providing hope that the highs of last season do not have to subside in the face of vastly improved opponents. Of the three newly-promoted clubs, there is a vibrancy perhaps unique to Sunderland, an intangible strength stemming from Dan Ballard's late header to sink Coventry City and then calcified by Tommy Watson's sumptuous winner against Sheffield United at Wembley. Both brought glory at the death. Three months on, and they continue to lean unashamedly into notions of belief and spirit. The pre-match tifo at the Roker End depicted the County Durham legend of the giant Lambton worm, slayed by a gallant local hero. 'The man who wins is the man who thinks he can,' it read below. All the bravado can soon be diminished against better opponents than West Ham. But in an opening month that brings trips to Burnley and Crystal Palace, either side of hosting Brentford, the significance of this win — Sunderland's biggest on an opening day since 1974 — was clear to the bulk of a capacity crowd that applauded players from the pitch. Le Bris spoke immediately of resetting and humility. 'Granit (Xhaka, the club's new captain) spoke for 30 seconds about this togetherness, this way of suffering together, because it will be key for the season,' he said. Advertisement That it was Xhaka, once of Arsenal and Bayer Leverkusen, who delivered the post-match messaging illustrated that it is a new Sunderland returning to the Premier League. Just three of the opening day's starting XI featured in last season's Championship play-offs, with seven of the other eight making debuts on the back of summer transfers. An eighth debutant, defender Omar Alderete, came on from the bench. Another imminent new signing, Paris Saint-Germain defender Nordi Mukiele, was a notable face in the stands. A ruthlessness has run through a recruitment drive that has already seen £130million spent. This means the likes of Dan Neil, Anthony Patterson, and Patrick Roberts have turned from mainstays to unused subs on Saturday, but there remains a place for the old guard to underpin the ambition. All three goalscorers on the Premier League return were heroes of the play-offs. Ballard scored Sunderland's decisive second against West Ham, a guided header, at the same end where he had denied El Hadji Malick Diouf with a goalline clearance in the first half and also sunk Coventry back in May. Before that, it had been a precise opener from Eliezer Mayenda, converting Alderete's cross with a looping header back across the leaden-footed Mads Hermansen. Plenty at Sunderland regard Mayenda, still only 20, as their greatest asset after signing a new contract that will run until 2030 this summer. Substitute Wilson Isidor does not appear set for such a prominent role in the Premier League, but his breakaway goal, low past Hermansen, in stoppage time assured the Stadium of Light of a carefree finale of oles and embraces. 'They showed that they can step up today, but at the same time they are really important, because they keep the identity of the club,' said Le Bris of his three goalscorers. 'The way we worked last season, we built this strength about togetherness and the way we can work as a team. We showed it, and these players are important for that.' Richard Masters, the Premier League's chief executive, appeared to miss Sunderland's third goal when cameras showed him vacating his seat in the directors' box in the closing stages, but he was in the minority heading for an early exit. Kyril Louis-Dreyfus, Sunderland's 27-year-old owner, beamed as he watched the celebrations between brother Maurice and minority shareholder Juan Sartori. This was Sunderland's big day and, unlike the unremittingly bleak goodbye to this level in 2016-17, there is early cause to believe a very different club can enjoy very different fortunes back in the Premier League.
