Wonderful catch from Kumar to seal the Bears' place in the final! Got good hold of it, hoisted out through the leg-side from round the wicket, but not quite enough. Wong mops up with her fourth of a stellar spell

Full commentary
3.25pm So, the inaugural Women's Blast final will be a repeat of the inaugural Men's Twenty20 Cup final in 2003. Surrey versus Warwickshire, all getting underway at about 4.30pm. This one was effectively done and dusted in Issy Wong's first over, when Tammy Beaumont and Kathryn Bryce fell for ducks in consecutive balls. Georgia Elwiss battled hard for her fifty, but it wasn't to be, especially once Millie Taylor had got to work on the middle-order. Sarah Glenn had a good allround game for the Blaze, but Wong is the runaway player of the match after her hard-hitting fifty in partnership with Sterre Kalis.

good use of the crease, timed to perfection at short third, as Gordon gave herself room to pick off the boundary

Davis to Elwiss, OUT
down the track, and stumped! She had to keep coming, but Davis did her in flight, and Wraith whipped off the bails. That feels like game, set and match
