Scorecard summary
Southern Brave (Women) 115/3(100 balls)
2/22 (20)
Oval Invincibles (Women) 85/10(94 balls)

The men's fixture is set to begin in under an hour from now. Until then, do hop over to see what's happening at Lord's. Can England hold on to their dear life? Can India nip out the lower order to take a 1-0 lead? It's all happening. Thanks for your company for this one.

You thought 115 wasn't going to be enough, but Shrubsole & co have been outstanding with the ball. They picked up 6 for 6 towards the end there to seal this in style. At one stage, this chase came down to Dane van Niekerk v Southern Brave. In the end, the Oval Invincibles have fallen 30 short.

Sophia Dunkley is the Player of the Match. "Outstanding bowling performance. You'd have thought we didn't have enough on the board, but that was terrific. It wasn't the prettiest innings I've played but it helped us get a score to defend. We've had a lot of people stand up and be match-winners for us every game. Winning today is great, we may face the Oval Invincbles in the final, so it helps carry momentum into that game. I'm trying to take each game as it comes, playing for England has been my goal. Will be for the next 10 years."

Shrubsole to Ismail, OUT

backs away to slap this over the infield but can only hit it as far as mid-off. That's the end of that. Southern Brave have defended a modest total in style. What a win

ah, beats the edge with this delightful off-cutter. Misses the hat-trick by a whisker! Wasn't far from the outside edge

Bell to Farrant, OUT

two in two! Smacks the off-stump. 'You miss, I hit' stuff. Goes full and straight on off, Farrant is beaten for pace as she's late in bringing her bat down

Bell to Sarah Bryce, OUT

there's the edge and it's gobbled up by the keeper. Goes full and wide outside off, the batter backs away to carve this behind point but can only get a thick edge through.

Wellington to Sarah Bryce, no run

ripping legbreak that spins through the face of the bat as she tries to work it across the line. Agonisingly close to a five-for

Wellington to Gardner, OUT

beats her in flight and turn to get another one! This was an ugly attempted hoick across the line, done in by sharp turn as the keeper did the rest.

Wellington to D van Niekerk, OUT

can Dunkey do any wrong tonight? No. Is that the game? DVK has found Dunkley at deep midwicket as she looks for the big hit. Jade-Wellington did her in the air. Beautiful bowling, deserved every bit of that.
