Trent Rockets held on to beat defending champions Sunrisers Leeds by five runs at Trent Bridge in The Hundred women's competition, extending their winning run to three matches despite a dramatic late fightback from the visitors. The result lifts Rockets to within four points of leaders Southern Brave, while Sunrisers, still without a win since their opening match, drop to seventh in the table.

Chasing 139, Sunrisers were reduced to 76-4 before Annabel Sutherland launched a counterattack, hitting 23 runs off one set including two sixes, and adding 50 with Lauren Winfield-Hill off just 27 balls to bring the equation down to 17 needed off five. Winfield-Hill's run-out with three balls left proved decisive, and Sutherland finished unbeaten on 59 as Rockets held on. Earlier, Sophia Dunkley top-scored with 56 off 33 balls before Rockets slumped from 105-2 to 118-6, with useful late runs from Bess Heath helping them post a defendable total.
