Nat Sciver-Brunt's rapid 32 helped Trent Rockets beat Southern Brave by three wickets at Trent Bridge, sealing their place in The Hundred women's final. The result matters because it confirms Rockets as table-toppers, meaning they progress straight to the final at Lord's rather than having to navigate the Eliminator stage.

Chasing 118 to win, the Rockets slumped to 10-3 after just 25 balls — the lowest powerplay score in the women's competition's history — before recovering thanks to Ash Gardner's 37 and Sciver-Brunt's brisk 19-ball cameo, getting home with two balls to spare. The England captain, batting at number seven partly to manage a calf issue, said she was looking forward to building up to Sunday's final. Southern Brave, who posted 117-5 built around Maia Bouchier's 38, finish second and must await the outcome of Tuesday's Manchester Super Giants v Sunrisers Leeds match to learn their Eliminator opponents.
