The Hundred: Fire strike twice in quick succession against Superchargers
Update: Date: 15:21 BST Title: Post Content: Alex HartleyFormer England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra It is no surprise to see Katie Levick coming on to bowl. For me it is from the wrong end, I would like to see her bowl from the other end. Freya Davies is more experienced so that might be why. Update: Date: 25 balls Title: Superchargers 33-1 Content: Annabel Sutherland is the next Australia international to stride out for the Superchargers - and she gets off the mark with a glorious drive as well. Middled through the covers for four. Powerplay done and while Superchargers have got a decent total on the board, those two wickets mean it is probably Fire who are just about the happier of the sides. Update: Date: 15:18 BST Title: Post Content: Alex HartleyFormer England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra I cannot believe what I have just seen. It was there to be driven and went straight to Tammy Beaumont. A huge blow for the Superchargers. Update: Date: 23 balls Title: WICKET Content: Litchfield c Beaumont b Ismail 4 (Superchargers 29-2) A gift for Welsh Fire! Short and wide from Shabnim Ismail and Phoebe Litchfield goes after it - but hits it straight into the hands of Tammy Beaumont at backward point. More of a traditional commentator's curse from Alex this time... Update: Date: 15:16 BST Title: Post Content: Alex HartleyFormer England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra Welcome back Phoebe Litchfield. Freya Davies got her length slightly wrong and it was crunched for four. If there is anyone to get excited about watching, it is Phoebe Litchfield. Update: Date: 20 balls Title: Superchargers 28-1 Content: Australia left-hander Phoebe Litchfield is the new batter and she's off the mark with a boundary. Crisp drive through the covers and no chance for the fielder in the deep. Update: Date: 15:15 BST Title: Post Content: Alex HartleyFormer England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra Well bowled by Freya Davies. That was the right decision not to review it by Alice Davidson-Richards, it would have to be doing a lot to be missing. Looking down the batting line-up, that was the right thing to do. Update: Date: 19 balls Title: WICKET Content: Davidson-Richards lbw b Davies 14 (Superchargers 24-1) It's the lesser known text commentator's curse! Having talked her up after back-to-back boundaries, Alice Davison-Richards is trapped in front by a nip-backer from Freya Davies. Very nicely bowled and ADR was caught on the crease. After a chat with Davina Perrin, she opts not to review - probably a good shout, it looked plumb. Update: Date: 15:13 BST Title: Post Content: Alex HartleyFormer England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra Alice Davidson-Richards is proving her place in the team here. She is using her feet and coming down the pitch, using her levers to swing for four. You have to make the most of the powerplay as a batter. Update: Date: 18 balls Title: Superchargers 24-0 Content: Perrin 5, Davison-Richards 14 Nicely struck again by Alice Davidson-Richards! Full ball from Freya Davies and she hits confidently up and over mid-off for a boundary. Four more! Over mid-on this time with even better timing. Positive start from ADR. Update: Date: 15:10 BST Title: Post Content: Kieran ParmleyCricviz analyst Shabnim Ismail's average speed of 71.5mph in her opening set is the quickest for any set in the women's competition so far this year. Update: Date: 15 balls Title: Superchargers 16-0 Content: An early look at spin as Jess Jonassen comes into the attack. The Australia left-armer is giving the ball plenty of flight early on, encouraging the big shots and Alice Davidson-Richards is happy to take it on. A little shimmy down the track and then a thumping drive to the left of the mid-off fielder. Four runs. Update: Date: 15:07 BST Title: Post Content: Alex HartleyFormer England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra Sarah Bryce has got such high standards of herself. She will have expected herself to stop that and will be annoyed. Update: Date: 10 balls Title: Superchargers 10-0 Content: A good five from Freya Davies is ruined slightly by a leg-side delivery that flicks off Davina Perrin's thigh pad and away for four leg byes. Sarah Bryce behind the stumps looks a little disappointed not to stop that after getting a glove to it. Update: Date: 5 balls Title: Superchargers 5-0 Content: Good set to start from Shabnim Ismail, that edge for four and a leg bye are the only runs from it. Decent pace and there was some swing on offer for the seamer as well. Update: Date: 15:02 BST Title: Post Content: Alex HartleyFormer England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra Shabnim Ismail is someone that you don't want to annoy. She rolls her eyes as that first ball goes for four. Update: Date: 1 ball Title: Superchargers 4-0 Content: Quick, swinging delivery to start from Shabnim Ismail. The South African finds the edge but Davina Perrin gets some early luck as the ball goes wide of slip and away for four. Update: Date: 14:59 BST Title: Post Content: It's game time! Welsh Fire are the first to come running out with fireworks and pyrotechnics going off either side of them. They're followed soon after by Northern Superchargers openers Alice Davidson-Richards and Davina Perrin. Update: Date: 14:58 BST Title: How's stat?!

Surrey dominate Durham, Thunder beat Bears
Danni Wyatt-Hodge's half-century was her third in four innings in the T20 Blast [Getty Images] Surrey continue to set the pace in the women's T20 Blast as punishing batting by England's Danni Wyatt-Hodge ushered them to a comfortable nine-wicket win over Durham at The Oval. After restricting the visitors to 141-5, they made it four wins out of four by reaching 143-1 with 43 balls to spare, Wyatt-Hodge hitting the winning boundary to finish with 74 not out from just 36 balls. Advertisement In Sunday's other game, Lancashire Thunder picked up only their second win in five matches as Tara Norris made an unbeaten 33 and took 3-25 to help them beat Bears by five runs. Chasing a target of 163, the home side needed 14 off the final over at Edgbaston, but could only muster eight, with Natasha Wraith finishing on 57 not out from 36 deliveries, the highest score of the match. Match scorecards The game against Surrey began badly for Durham, who saw both openers bowled inside the first five overs - Suzie Bates and Mady Villiers both dismissed by Ryana MacDonald-Gay. From 29-3, Hollie Armitage led a revival, adding 40 with Bess Heath (27) and 38 with Mia Rogers, and although she went to 50 off 49 balls in the last over and Katherine Fraser hit the final ball of the innings for six, their score did not look enough. Advertisement So it proved as Wyatt-Hodge and Bryony Smith matched each other shot for shot in bringing up a 50 partnership in the fourth over. Wyatt-Hodge launched Katie Levick over mid-wicket for a maximum, the first of two sixes in her innings to go with 11 fours, but the stand came to an end on 94 when Smith was caught in the deep off Phoebe Turner for 44 from 28 balls. Replacement Kira Chathli opened her account with a six and made an unbeaten 19 from 13 before Wyatt-Hodge ended the game by cutting Bates to the point boundary. Bears come up short despite Wraith knock Emma Lamb was back in the Lancashire side against the Bears following England duty but it was not a happy return as she was bowled through the gate for five by Issy Wong in the first over. Advertisement They struggled to 31-4, batting in a steady drizzle, before a 69-run partnership between Ailsa Lister and Australian Alana King which ended when the former was lbw for 36 as she tried to sweep Hannah Baker. King made 21 before hitting Millie Taylor (2-25) to deep mid-wicket but Norris lofted a six over mid-off as she steered Thunder to 162-7. Bears made a positive start in reply as Davina Perrin made a rapid 34 before being bowled by one from Grace Johnson which kept low. Charis Pavely contributed 27 but they were losing momentum at 101-6 in the 14th over when Wong was bowled by Norris as she tried to make room to force the ball through the off side. Advertisement Wraith, though, kept them in the game, clearing the ropes and hitting four fours as she reached 50 from just 29 balls, but wickets continued to fall at the other end and she lost the strike midway through the last over as Thunder squeezed home. "We have had a couple of tough ones in the last couple of games, so to get a win on the board is brilliant and we are right back in the mixer," Lancashire skipper Ellie Threlkeld said. Wednesday fixtures Riverside: Durham v Bears (14:30 BST) The Oval: Surrey v The Blaze (18:30 BST)
