Rockets' Aussies eclipsed by Southern Brave starlet
Australian trio Ash Gardner, Alana King and Heather Graham were powerless to prevent their Trent Rockets side slipping to a six-wicket defeat by a teenager-inspired Southern Brave in the Hundred at Trent Bridge. Spinner Tilly Corteen-Coleman, 17, took 4-13, including Bryony Smith for 10 and England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt without scoring in her opening spell. Gardner, the Rockets captain, showed some defiance, hitting 25 from 16 balls before being bowled by Lauren Bell while King made an undefeated 24. The other batters fell away with Corteen-Coleman going on to dismiss Graham for three and Emma Jones for another duck. With the hosts reeling on 8-55, Kirstie Gordon managed 32 from 27 balls to at least post a competitive total of 106. In reply, Maia Bouchier scored 42 off 30 balls and Sophie Devine was unbeaten on 41 as the Brave reached 4-109 with two balls to spare. Elsewhere, Sophia Smale took 3-13 as Oval Invincibles produced a comfortable victory over Welsh Fire. The visitors, set a target of 151, were skittled for just 111 off 97 balls at The Oval despite opener Sophia Dunkley hitting 56. Invincibles captain Lauren Winfield-Hill had earlier suffered a first-ball duck but Alice Capsey starred with 55 as they posted 5-150. Australian opener Meg Lanning hit 23 before falling lbw and compatriot Amanda-Jade Wellington added 17. Wellington then took the wickets of Hayley Matthews and Georgia Davis to finish with figures of 2-24 while Lanning took two catches.

King & Cross lead Lancs to crucial win over Essex
Women's Vitality T20 Blast, Emirates Old TraffordLancashire Thunder 55-2 (6 overs): Lamb 21, Jones 17Essex Eagles 47-7 (8 overs): Winfield-Hill 13; Cross 2-9, King 2-17Lancashire (5 pts) beat Essex (0 pts) by eight wicketsMatch scorecard Ashes rivals Kate Cross and Alana King shared four wickets to set Lancashire Thunder up for a convincing rain-affected T20 Blast win over Essex Eagles at Emirates Old Trafford that kept the hosts' Finals Day hopes seamer Cross and Australia leg-spinner King struck twice apiece in the space of 10 legitimate balls in the sixth and seventh overs of what turned out to be an eight-over Essex innings as they slipped to 38-6 and later totalled 47-7.A two-hour rain delay ravaged a fixture which both sides realistically needed to win to maintain hopes of a top-three finish, and it was Thunder who claimed the crucial five points as they reeled in a revised target of 52 in six overs thanks largely to opener Emma Lamb's 21 off 17 fourth win in nine games - this by eight wickets on the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method - means they leapfrog Essex into fifth place but are still 11 points behind third-placed Bears, whom they host on Sunday (13:00 BST), with five games meanwhile, lost for the sixth time in nine games and have a mountain to climb, beginning with Sunday's trip to league leaders Surrey at The Kia Oval (12:00). Thunder, who importantly won the toss and elected to bowl first, made a fast start with the ball either side of the two-hour they reduced Essex to 24-2 after five overs. Seamer Phoebe Graham, making her first competitive appearance of the summer for Thunder, struck in the fourth over when she uprooted the leg-stump of Lissy swing bowler Tara Norris then had the other Essex opener Lauren Winfield-Hill well caught low down at cover by Ailsa Lister. Only four more balls were bowled before play was upon the resumption, with an eight-overs per side game now in motion, Thunder struck four times in the first 10 legitimate balls back to all but end any realistic chance Essex had of had compatriot Maddie Penna well taken low down at square-leg by Lister off a full toss before getting Cordelia Griffith caught behind cutting later in the sixth the seventh, Cross uprooted Jo Gardner's off-stump and had an attacking Eva Gray caught behind. Amara Carr was then run out off the final ball of the innings. Opener Winfield-Hill was the only Essex batter to reach double figures with Jones (17) set Thunder on their way in the chase with an eye-catching straight driven boundary off Esmae MacGregor's seam before dragging Gray to midwicket as Thunder slipped to 29-1 in the Lamb hit three leg-side boundaries before being run out with only four runs required, with King (1no) and Lister (4no) completing the formalities with two overs to supplied by the ECB Reporters' Network, supported by Rothesay
