5:41pm Right, that's all from us here. But the men are getting underway in just under 50 minutes over this way. Join us

5:37pm Not for the first time, the Meerkat Match Hero is Marizanne Kapp, for 3 for 8 and a chase-sealing 24*: "Look I had flashbacks to the game we played here two years ago, which was similar conditions. Just happy to get over the line today.

[On being there at the end, again]: "I've been playing for 15 years so I probably should be doing that. Having been in that situation a lot of times for all the franchises I've played for around the world, it helps a lot. Today was too stressful, but happy to go through."

Gardner to Kapp, 2 runs, Tucked around the corner, but there's a misfield at square leg! Will they come back for a second... They do! Oval Invincibles are through to the knockout stages! Trent Rockets are out! Tense at the end but, on balance, the better team won. That means it's an all-London affair for The Eliminator with Invincibles against London Spirit!

Gardner to Kapp, FOUR, Ice cold from Kapp! Gardner darts one in but messes up her length. too short, Kapp rocks back and smashes to the gap at midwicket for a one-bounce four!

Gardner to Wellington, 1 run, Full, outside off, nails the reverse but well-stopped by third, who throws in but Kapp is home and hosed

Marizanne Kapp looks absolutely furious! And probably rightly so. Amanda Jade Wellington is the new batter. 7 needed in 9...

Gardner to Villiers, OUT, Gone! Stumped! Oh my days... Villiers charges down, misses as the ball turns through her and Natasha Wraith gathers cleanly outside leg stump before taking the bails off!

MK Villiers st †Wraith b Gardner 1 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 25.00

Now then... Villiers on strike with Gardner to bowl her last five. 7 needed off 10.

Gordon to Villiers, no run, Villiers steps across, wears this one and is given out LBW! Looked very odd that as she's well outside the line - all three stumps showing - and it hits her pad as she attempts to work this full toss around the corner. And there comes confirmation that it is actually not out. Standard of umpiring has been poor today

Gardner to Kapp, 2 runs, Heaved away to the leg side... once bounce... and grabbed by Katie George, who throws back into the field before she runs off the playing area, with fine leg running around to tidy up. Excellent work

Right, 14 needed off 20. Gardner has the ball in hand. Can she be the hero of this second innings?
