9.16 pm Welsh Fire remain winless in both the men's and women's sides. London Spirit meanwhile continue to keep pace with Trent Rockets at the top of the table and have clinched a playoff berth. All that remains to find out is what seed they will be.
Match Hero is Dan Lawrence: "I think it was about absorbing a bit of pressure for the first bit of the innings. The Welsh boys got wickets to create pressure and it was about soaking that up. It was a bit sticky but the longer you stayed in batting got easier. Taking wickets is always a bit of a bonus for me. Bowling 20 balls is not something I'd normally do but happy to contribute to the team. It's been great to come back and contribute to a win."
So that's it from our coverage tonight at Lord's. On behalf of Matt Roller, I'm Peter Della Penna. Come back tomorrow for another men's and women's doubleheader featuring Southern Brave and Trent Rockets. Until then, take care!

Wood to Sodhi, OUT, yorker on leg stump, Sodhi misses a flick and an lbw shout is upheld. Was really a shin high full toss at the point of contact that Sodhi missed. Might've been worth a review at a different stage of the game because contact may have been outside leg stump but a reversal here would've only amounted to no run regardless and no ability to rebowl the delivery.

Wood to Payne, 1 run, good length wide outside off, toe-slapped to long-on for one.
So the match is clinched barring any wides or no balls.

Wood to du Plooy, OUT, yorker on middle cleans him up! Du Plooy went for an audacious reverse sweep against the pace bowler but Wood's yorker was spot on.
JL du Plooy b Wood 30 (18b 2x4 2x6) SR: 166.66
Wood comes around the stumps left-arm to the left-handed Du Plooy.
Three sixes will create a tie. You never know...

Wood to Sodhi, 1 run, full and wide, goes to heave this over long-on for one.
Sodhi enters.

W
Wood to Critchley, OUT, length ball angled across the wide guideline outside off, this time Critchley gets bat on this but only a thick edge with a waft and it carries through to Rossington behind the stumps diving to his right.
MJJ Critchley c †Rossington b Wood 21 (7b 1x4 2x6) SR: 300.00

1w
Wood to Critchley, 1 wide, wide yorker, Critchley misses a drive but the umpire says it was out of the guidelines. Replays show it's a very poor call, especially as Critchley took guard outside off stump and the ball passed inside the guideline regardless.
