5.03pm That's a wrap from the Women's Eliminator, it's Welsh Fire versus London Spirit for the Women's Hundred. Join us tomorrow for full coverage... or if you haven't had your full fix today, flick over to the men's match, Birmingham Phoenix versus Southern Brave, which is just getting warmed up by Alan Gardner...

Heather Knight is talking to the BBC "We identified pace-off was the key early, another brilliant display in the field. The hallmark of our campaign is we've been quite calm. Dani Gibson is a gun fielder, to take that catch after she's dropped a couple... We talked about it yesterday, if we do have a chase, we don't want it to be nervy. I've loved batting in the middle order, great to get back to Lord's, we'll be in the away dressing-room which will be strange."

Lauren Winfield-Hill: "They bowled well, if Laura Harris had faced another ten balls we've have got 15-20 more. Sometimes you don't execute but we showed a lot of character to go toe-to-toe. I enjoy standing up to the stumps, to put energy into the team and be involved every ball. Loved the captaincy, a massive honour, stacked with world-class players, lucky to have a great group, the core's been together a while now. We'll stick together and come back stronger

Georgia Redmayne is the Meerkat Match Hero: "It's truly special. We did the simple things right, bowled in good areas and kept them to a good total. To play a home final at Lord's, it's going to be incredible. It's nice to know what intent you have to bat with. Also it helps keeping for 100 balls before coming out to bat. We'll take it easy for the final, and use the same gameplan as today. Do the simple things right. We're the first Spirit team to get to the finals, a great honour."

4.51pm Smiles all round for London Spirit, Georgia Redmayne and Heather Knight have made short work of a sub-par target of 114. It was level-pegging at the 10-over mark, but they put their foot down in the second half to canter home in an unbroken 74-run partnership.

Hypocaust: "This is the third significant unbeaten partnership in a successful run chase Heather Knight has been part of this season:90* with Redmayne v Originals77* with Sharma v Superchargers74* with Redmayne v Invincibles today"

Capsey to Knight, FOUR, reverse-sweep, slapped through backward point! Wonderful manipulation of the field

Smale limps off, her tournament done in sad fashion. Here's Capsey

Smale to Redmayne, 1 run, belted back at the bowler, a bit of a wild shy from mid-off, and there's trouble here for the bowler. Smale made a despairing dive and jarred her shoulder as she landed
