1:40pm That will be that for this game. But that is hardly it for the day, with plenty of Hundred action lined up - both in the men's section and the women's section. Join us for those games too, and until next time, from all of us here at ESPNcricinfo, it is goodbye!

Tilly Corteen-Coleman, Player of the Match: It has been fantastic -such a great team performance, could not have done it without them. Great to get the win on the board. (On the pitch) Not going to lie, but we have constant communication between the girls, felt it was stoppy, and with the track record (at Trent Bridge), thought I might be in the game. (On the secret to their success this season) Secret sauce…I just think we are a great group. Off the back of last year, feel we have a lot to prove, and working really well nicely together. (On if the chase got tense) I am a terrible watcher, so I was nervous all the way through, but backed our team, so we were good.

1:34pm That was a slow-burn, in terms of the scoring rate and the surface dished out, but it did have its share of tense moments. The Brave seemed in control when Bouchier and Devine were at the crease. But when the former perished, and Kemp struggled for the first ten balls of her innings, it felt the Rockets might have a prayer. Kemp then launched a huge six over wide long on to allay those nerves, with Devine and Tryon doing the rest thereafter, ensuring there were no further hiccups.

The Rockets, meanwhile, might be engulfed with a feeling of what could have been. They did not have a truckload of runs on the board, and in the end, that hurt them. This was not the easiest surfaces to bat on, and had the Rockets managed a score around the 120-130 mark, they may have made a real fist of this defence. A few positives to take back, including how they stuck to their bowling guns, but they are, after four games, only on four points, and needing a turnaround.

98
4
McCarthy to Tryon, FOUR runs

loose ball down leg, and Tryon ices this run-chase! Not the most convincing but like all champion teams, the Brave have gotten the job done! A bit of an anti-climax after the previous delivery. This was also an attempted slower one, but the line went awry. Tryon waited on it and swiped it away fine, and the Brave, who could not buy a win last season, go 4-0 in 2025!

97
McCarthy to Tryon, no run

slower ball on a length outside off. Tryon does not pick it at all and wafts at it way too early. Gets cut in half, and that is a vital dot from the Rockets' POV

A few fielding changes, but the Rockets need something special to turn this one around now

96
1
McCarthy to Devine, 1 run

safe! Slower ball on a back of a length on the stumps. Devine swings herself off her feet but does not muster the power to clear the fence. On the bounce to long on

3 off 5. Devine to face, McCarthy to bowl. Surely the Brave will get past the finish line from here?

Graham to Devine, FOUR runs

make that 3 off 5 now, because Devine has found the fence with a scorcher! Attempted leg-stump yorker and this lands just a smidgen short. Devine gets her front foot out of the way and mooses it between deep mid wicket and long on!

7 off 6

94
1
Graham to Tryon, 1 run

length just outside off. Tryon presses half forward and jabs it towards extra cover to get off the mark

Tryon walks in with the Brave needing 8 off 7. She is a stroke-maker too, but she might also be feeling the pinch now

93
W
Graham to Kemp, OUT

that has gone a mile up, and taken on the fence! Trent Bridge roars! Shortish and following the batter just outside leg. Seems like a change-up too, meaning Kemp has to generate all the pace and power. She gets plenty of height on it but not enough distance as it turns out. NSB settles herself on the deep mid wicket fence, and snares the chance in front of her face. Now then. Now then...

Run-a-ball needed now

92
2
Graham to Kemp, 2 runs

in the slot outside off. Kemp plants her front foot and shanks it over the bowler's head. Long off can cut it off but not before the batters hurtle back for two

10 off 9

91
1
Graham to Devine, 1 run

in the slot just outside off. Devine gives it the big wind-up and smashes it away towards long on. Fielded well by King and the throw is accurate too. Just a run

11 off 10. This has gotten a lot tenser than the Brave would have wanted, but they are still in control of this chase. Graham to bowl

Gordon to Devine, 1 run

shortish just outside off. Devine hops back and swats it towards long on

89
1
Gordon to Kemp, 1 run

floated up outside off. Kemp looks to repeat the dose from two balls ago but drags this a touch. The bottom hand comes off too, and she chips it on the bounce to long on

88
2
Gordon to Kemp, 2 runs

fired in outside leg and this ends up being a full toss. Kemp bunts it between deep square leg and deep mid wicket, and pinches a brace

15 off 13 now

87
6
Gordon to Kemp, SIX runs

Kemp goes big, and that is a clean strike! Floated up outside leg and Kemp puts on her dancing shoes. Gets to the pitch of the ball, goes through the line and whacks it over wide long on!

Around the wicket to Kemp as well

86
1
Gordon to Devine, 1 run

pulls the length back outside off, pre-empting the charge. Devine punches it towards long off

22 off 15. Gordon to bowl from around the wicket

1
Graham to Kemp, 1 run

just short! Length ball on middle and leg. Kemp opens up her stance and swings at it. Does not get hold of it fully and the ball falls just in front of long on rushing in. McCarthy was the fielder and was perhaps a touch late to pick it up, which proved pivotal in the end

23 off 16, and the pressure is amping up on the visitors now

84
Graham to Kemp, no run

back of a length on leg stump. Stops in the surface again and Kemp plonks it back towards the bowler

83
Graham to Kemp, no run

cutter on a back of a length on middle and off, and this nips away with the angle. Kemp has a waft at it and is lucky to not lose her off stump

82
1
Graham to Devine, 1 run

slanted into the slot on leg stump. Devine winds up and heaves it on the bounce to deep backward square leg

81
Graham to Devine, no run

back of a length on middle and leg, and this kicks up on Devine. She gets tagged on the body and for a moment, does not know where the ball rolls off to

24 off 20. Still SB's game to lose, but this chase has gotten a little trickier than it seemed a few minutes ago
