London Spirit captain Heather Knight: “I was a bit on the fence so I didn’t mind too much, the pitch actually played pretty well the other day albeit in slightly different conditions.
“It’s lovely to come to the ground and know you’re going to get a game in. It’s been soggy so far. We can out there the other night, albeit in a shortened game, played alright but there are things we can improve on. But a lot of positives to take as well.
“When you don’t play, you have to practice more so we’ve practiced a lot!
“We want more boundaries at the back end, we had too many dot balls last time and we have a lot of power in our batting line-up so hopefully we can put a good score on the board.”

Trent Rockets captain Nat Sciver-Brunt: “We haven’t really been able to perform our skills for a full match yet. We’ve done things pretty well in halves and three-quarters so hoping to put that right today.
“It’s important to reflect on the collapse the other day and try to work out as individuals, what you would do the next time you were in that position. We did that a couple of days ago then had a good session yesterday and we’re here refreshed.
“Not the best start to the competition and it’s felt a bit disjointed with the rain but hopefully we can get things started today.”

Rockets win the toss and bowl
Nat Sciver-Brunt calls right at the toss and the Trent Rockets will bowl first.
London Spirit skipper Heather Knight says she probably would’ve bowled as well but isn’t too fussed about setting a total.

It’s another big day in The Hundred with at double-headers Lord’s and Sophia Gardens!
We start at the home of cricket and a game between two sides still without a win in the women’s competition – it’s London Spirit v Trent Rockets.
All hope is not lost for either side as they bid to reach the knockout stages. A win today and they’re back in, lose and that might be that…
