South East Stars took over at the top of the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy table after toppling pace-setting Sunrisers at Northampton.

Alexa Stonehouse, Alice Davidson-Richards and Kalea Moore took two wickets each as Sunrisers were limited to 229-9.

Florence Miller made 30, batting at seven, although Esmae MacGregor and Kate Coppack added an unbroken 35 for the final wicket.

The Stars were always ahead of the asking rate as Davidson-Richards (50) and Sophia Dunkley (67) shared 105 runs for the third wicket but, although both were stumped, Phoebe Franklin’s measured, unbeaten 28 steered Stars to a five-wicket win with 13 balls to spare.
