12.09pm Well, that was comprehensive. The Blaze's first defeat of the season is the cruellest and most emphatic imaginable. A whopping 34 balls left unused. And once again, Danni Wyatt's crushing half-century set the agenda, alongside Maia Bouchier. Congratulations to the Southern Vipers, back-to-back champions and serial domestic competition winners. Their fifth trophy in eight seasons.
Almost there. Is this the over?

That McCaughan wicket looks to have persuaded Vipers not to take any more liberties. Just get the job done on merit now
