    2.1 fullish on the stumps and Adam creams it high into the leg side - straightforward catch for deep midwicket running in! Possibly came in with the angle and then just held down the slope, pace down at 63mph and Adams got under it. Comfortably taken by Wyatt, and Brave have the breakthrough 5/1
    13.1 swipes across the line, top-edged to mid-off! Looking to biff down the ground but lost her shape and skewed a catch to the edge of the circle... Back-of-the-hand slower ball from Bell, superbly done, removes Invincibles' captain (and currently the leading run-scorer in the tournament). Brave maintaining their vice-like grip 64/3
    12.1 goes for the slog-sweep but picks out deep midwicket! Launched out towards the Tavern Stand but she's not got enough on it, and Danni Wyatt is again a safe pair of hands on the boundary, taken at chest height and Brave have snapped the stand 61/2
    18.3 slashes a leading edge to backward point! Kapp's counterattack is ended, Morris pushing it across as she looks to hit down the ground again. Wellington takes it calmly inside the ring, hands reverse-cupped 114/5

    17.2 slower ball, beats the advancing Capsey, hits leg stump! Another back-of-the-hander and it completely befuddled the batter as she came down, mistimes her swing across the line, the ball looping through to ping the bails! 98/4
    19.5 holes out to long-on! Villiers skips out and chips down the ground but it hasn't got the legs, Bouchier pouches the ball safely running in. Decent cameo from Villiers, but have they got enough? 121/6

    0.4 this is almost a carbon copy sequence to the eliminator chase yesterday from Kapp! Teasing outswingers before one finally produces an edge. Good length ball on fifth stump shapes away, not much footwork from Wyatt playing away from her body and a healthy edge carries to Bryce at shin height. 1/1
    1.5 Kapp strikes again! Awful shot to be honest though. Fullish length ball on middle, too full to play the pull shot that Lewis tries for and unsurprisingly she can't control this as it flies off a top edge to short fine leg and the fielder runs back and across to her right to clamp on to an over the shoulder grab in stride. 2/3
    1.1 and the decision pays off! Van Niekerk the captain gobbles up a head high chance at second slip! Full length ball on fifth stump, encourages a drive but the away movement again on another outswinger produces the edge that flies high to the captain as she reaches up to clutch on in front of her eyes. 1/2
    11.2 big charge, big miss, big wicket on a clean stumping by Bryce! The captain flights this on leg stump on a good length, Taylor doesn't get to the pitch and goes through with the shot anyway playing for orthodox turn but it's a googly so passes through a big gap between bat and pad. Bryce collects and it's sayonara Stefanie! 29/7
    5.2 direct hit from backward point at the striker's end and Taylor rocks her head back in agony at the non-striker's end! Taylor prodded this into the off side and set off but the response by the fielder was immediately circling to her left before firing a one bounce throw into the stumps with Bouchier a full yard short. 11/4
    5.5 bounced out! Back of a length on fourth stump, Wellington was floundering at the crease in her first few balls, and with the pressure building she tries to play a desperate release shot but is beaten for pace and produces a tame, fluttering top edge to short midwicket for the easiest of catches in the ring. 11/5
    7.1 Kapp can't stay out of the game! Capsey floats this full on fifth stump to encourage a skip down the track to her first ball, tries to smash this through cover but doesn't elevate it enough to clear Kapp on the ring, she shuffles to her right and snatches on to a brilliant take at rib height tumbling to her right. 14/6
    17.1 uses her feet to punch down the ground very straight and they try to come back and scamper a tight two, just barely beating the relay to van Niekerk.... or not! The third umpire decides that Morris' bat was in the air at the moment van Niekerk dislodged the bails. She was well across the line but her bat popped up just before the line, was never grounded over the line before she got it back down again. 63/9

    16.5 one reverse sweep attempt too many. Capsey gets this very full, too full for the shot, she plays over the top of the ball as it cannons into off stump. 62/8

    19.3 an emphatic exclamation point to Kapp the Invincibles title! Full and straight on leg stump, Bell backs away, flails and misses, the zing bails light up, lights out on Brave's chase! Oval Invincibles are the inaugural Women's Hundred champions! 73/10
