1.55pm: Speaking of the men's match-up, Karthik is already in the pilot's seat for that - we should hear news of the toss quite soon. On to the next one! Cheerio

1.50pm: That was fairly comfortable in the end for the Oval women. Everyone did their bit with the ball and it was all on Heather Knight to try and drag Spirit towards the finish line - it was pretty much a lone hand, until Gibson bashed a few at the end. So the Invincibles are two from two, having won on their rivals' patch, and they can now sit back and see if the men can match their high standards

Alex Capsey is Hero of the Match: "It was incredible, to get a win like that was amazing. Trying to block it out but you can hear the noise, the crowd were incredible. [First-ball fours] Like to think it's how I play but probably adrenalin. I'm at school down in Eastbourne and live in Surrey, play for Reigate ladies. Kevin Pietersen, Jos Buttler [were idols growing up]. Couldn't have dreamed to play a better game at Lord's."

Villiers to Gibson, SIX, walloped over deep midwicket to finish! Another mighty boosh over the leg side from Gibson, she's played well for 30 off 13, but it's not enough - Invincibles still to be vinced, 15-run winners in the London derby!
