5.40 pm Well if that's not a demolition, I don't know what is. The Shafali Verma-Eve Jones juggernaut absolutely obliterates the Welsh Fire bowling unit. An unbeaten 131-run partnership between them clinches the match with 24 balls to spare.

Match Hero today is Shafali Verma: "That was so nice, so good for me. I was not doing good for the team but I backed myself and played my game. I was slowing down because of [Eve Jones'] fifty. I enjoy the team. They are so nice. I'm still learning in every match."

Fingers crossed the skies are able to stay dry, if not clear, to allow the full doubleheader to be completed. That's it from the Women's Hundred coverage today. Flip over to the men's match scorecard feed for coverage of that game starting shortly.

Hennessy to E Jones, 1 run, full toss at knee height on sixth stump, slaps this one-handed over mid-off but doesn't make it to the rope so they complete two.
