That's it from us from the women's Hundred this evening, with the men also in action soon. Fire's victory has helped them consolidate their position at the top of the points table, even as Brave sit right at the bottom. Join us for the men's game in about an hour, as we sign off from here! Good night!

Hypocaust: "A good sign for Welsh Fire not being over relying on one player, that their four victories this season have featured four different top-scorers (Dunkley, Matthews, Bryce and Beaumomt), and that the last three of these wins have been achieved without Ismail in the side."

Hayley Matthews is the Hero of the Match: "Tried to keep my lines pretty straight. Just a little bit in it. Playing as a team... we obviously had a good start. For us, it was just [about] taking a little longer. We're playing really good cricket, everyone's chipping in."

5.23pm You briefly thought Fire looked doused even in this meager chase, but eventually, they win with ten balls and seven wickets in the bank. And to their aid came as many as 20 extras in a chase as small as 85, with Brave leaking plenty of wides and leg byes. For Fire, Beaumont got a patient 34, after Matthews led the way with three wickets with the ball.
