Scorecard

Tammy Beaumont crashed the first century in The Hundred women's competition with a spectacular 118 for Welsh Fire against Trent Rockets.

The England opener was dropped on 32 and overturned being given out lbw on 75 but otherwise dominated, hitting 20 fours and two sixes in her 61 balls.

Her score is the best in either the men's or women's Hundred and the Fire's 181-3 is also a women's record.

"I don't know what just happened to be honest," she told Sky Sports.

"I just had an absolute day out. It was great to put on a show for the fans."
