The Hundred: Alexa Stonehouse and Ash Gardner lead Trent Rockets to six wicket win over Oval Invincibles

Trent Rockets beat the Oval Invincibles to keep their slim qualification hopes in The Hundred alive at the Kia Oval.

Defeat for the Rockets would have ended their hopes of reaching the knockout stages but left-arm seamer Alexa Stonehouse set the tempo for a polished bowling performance with one for five from 15 deliveries.

Australia all-rounder Ash Gardner dismissed Marizanne Kapp and Meg Lanning within three deliveries, while fellow spinner Kirstie Gordon also claimed a couple of wickets as the Invincibles posted 109 for seven.

The Rockets seemed poised for a routine win after racing to 51 for none in 35 balls but Bryony Smith's departure for 24 was followed by a rare failure for England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt, out for two.

Gardner (11) and Grace Scrivens (34) holed out as the Rockets lurched to 75 for four at the Kia Oval, but Jodi Grewcock (21 not out) and Heather Graham (19no) sealed a six-wicket win with 16 balls to spare.

Scrivens said: "I'm happy to get the win. I was really glad to be back in the team and to help contribute. Obviously, I would have liked to have finished it off, but I'm happy.

"I thought it was a really good pitch, I thought they were under-par, and I was happy when we chased them."

Both the Rockets and the Invincibles now sit on eight points but need to win their remaining two matches and hope results go in their favour elsewhere to finish in the top three of the group stage.
