5.10pm That was much closer than appeared likely, first when the Diamonds put up what looked like a below-par total and again when Beth Langston removed both Vipers openers for ducks and Jenny Gunn sparked a middle-order wobble. But that unbroken stand of 78 between Emily Windsor and Tara Norris was the difference as the Diamonds struggled to take the late wickets they needed. Windsor scored a fantastic 47 not out off 97 balls and Norris was unbeaten with 40 from 44. The Vipers players are jumping for joy!

Fan : "Windsor doing the Dhoni version."

Emily Windsor is named Player of the Match. It was a close one and Georgia Adams, her captain, says: "Women's cricket is just on the up and it's so pleasing to see how strong these games are, we're putting on great games of cricket."

As the Vipers lift the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy we'll leave you with thanks for joining us.
