- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 absolute dream of a delivery. Drifts in, lands on length, middle stump line. Holland looks to defend as it shapes away, it whooshes past the outside edge and takes the top of off. Just ticks all the aesthetic boxes, that delivery 0/18.3 a bit of turn gets a leading edge right back to the bowler, and she takes a sharp catch!. A delighted yelp from Smale because she knows Gibson was getting going. Another huge dent in the innings 52/53.2 she's chipped it back to Kapp, who gets low quickly and takes a smart catch. Soo cool with her reaction, too. Just made it look so easy 15/23.3 slightly shorter, tucked into the onside, but oh, there's a mix-up! Both players end up at the same end, and are having a chat before it's even thrown back to the keeper, who whips the bails off to send Harris on her way 16/35.2 tried to drive over the bowler's head and it's gone right through the gate and knocked back her stumps! Spirit have lost their fourth here 31/49.3 reaches for it because she keeps pushing it wider outside off. Ghosh has a crack, but no power at the end of her range. Goes up rather than away and cover-point has the simplest catch to take. Horror innings from Ghosh - 2 from 10, 2 of which were free hits 53/614.2 magnificent running, diving catch. She slogged the short ball to midwicket. Looked like it would drop short but Scholfield ran about 20 yards and puts in a dive to pluck it low off the ground 84/813.5 soft dismissal. She tried to biff it over cover, but doesn't get underneath the full delivery, and ends up chipping it to the fielder for the simplest catch 84/715.3 caught square in front as she tries an ungainly paddle. Got in a tangle and found herself dead in front. She reviews anyway, but it's in vain. They're down to their last pair 87/9Extras12 (b 1, lb 1, nb 4, w 6)TOTAL118/9 (20 Overs, RR: 5.9 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Niamh Holland, 0.2 ov), 2-15 (Heather Knight, 3.2 ov), 3-16 (Grace Harris, 3.3 ov), 4-31 (Amelia Kerr, 5.2 ov), 5-52 (Danielle Gibson, 8.3 ov), 6-53 (Richa Ghosh, 9.3 ov), 7-84 (Charlie Dean, 13.5 ov), 8-84 (Sarah Glenn, 14.2 ov), 9-87 (Alice Monaghan, 15.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.3 comes down the wicket to clip her over the onside, but ends up spooning it straight down the cow corner fielder's throat. Doesn't get enough power on the shot and pays the price 7/113.4 thick edge loops up to short third who takes a simple catch. Just tossing it a little wider, and Bates found it hard to generate power or control at the end of her range 64/35.4 scooped up, and mid-off takes a straightforward catch! Tried to play against the turn and gets the leading edge. Mid-off needs to put in a bit of a sprint, but the catch itself is simple enough 25/215.3 top edge goes straight up into the air, and Ghosh takes an easy catch. Kapp, getting desperate, was looking to smite it over midwicket, only to get the edge that leads to her departure 72/514.4 smeared over the onside, but can't beat the fielder at long-on! There wasn't enough power on that short to clear the rope, and the Invincibles slide further 69/416.5 utter desperation leads to a run-out. Mistimed into the offside and they hurtle back, but the non-striker is never making that ground up. Griffith has to go and the Invincibles slide even further 82/619.1 works it to long-on and comes back for a second she never really looked like she would complete. The umpire review finds her short 92/817.5 another top edge gives Ghosh the easiest catch she could ask for. The ball stopped a bit in the wicket and she was early into the shot 85/719.5 finishes up with a brilliant catch! Clothed back to the bowler, who dived to her right sharply to pluck it out of the air with one hand. The best bit of fielding all game comes off the last delivery, and the Spirit have got themselves a huge result here 97/1019.2 swing and a miss, and Kerr cleans her up! It's all happening quickly now, and the Spirit, who needed a win to stay alive, and looked like they wouldn't get it, are about to get a big one 92/9Extras1 (w 1)TOTAL97 all out (20 Overs, RR: 4.85 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Lauren Winfield-Hill, 3.3 ov), 2-25 (Alice Capsey, 5.4 ov), 3-64 (Suzie Bates, 13.4 ov), 4-69 (Paige Scholfield, 14.4 ov), 5-72 (Marizanne Kapp, 15.3 ov), 6-82 (Cordelia Griffith, 16.5 ov), 7-85 (Kira Chathli, 17.5 ov), 8-92 (Mady Villiers, 19.1 ov), 9-92 (Eva Gray, 19.2 ov), 10-97 (Ryana MacDonald-Gay, 19.5 ov)
