    2.5 sprayed wide, but Dunkley spoons it to short third! Norris perhaps gets lucky but nevertheless it's a vital opening wicket for London Spirit. The ball was angled across and inviting the drive, no real swing but it bounced to take the edge as Dunkley threw the hands. Loopy chance well taken by Deepti 22/1
    5.2 full, driven - but Beaumont plinks it to mid-off! The Fire skipper hangs her head as Norris dives forward to take the catch. Couldn't get under the ball as she looked to go down the ground, and suddenly the pressure is back on 32/2
    14.5 nicked behind, Redmayne holds on up to the stumps! Matthews falls, after battling away for so long. She again stepped outside leg stump, but could only get a thin edge on Gray's cutter. Redmayne did terrifically well to follow the ball and cling on as it went through between batter and stumps 84/4
    5.4 pinned in front, gone! Glenn gets two in three balls as Spirit surge, to the delight of the Lord's crowd. Flighted delivery on middle and leg, doesn't really turn - in fact, maybe goes down the slope a touch, beats the inside edge and raps the pad. Bryce has a quick chat with her partner before marching off 32/3

    19.4 full, straight, Jonassen misses with a leg-side shovel! Given but she immediately reviews. Was there some bat? If not, it looked plumb. No, she's clearly missed the ball - struck in line with off stump and hitting middle, according to Hawk-Eye! Anna Harris raises her finger again and Jonassen has to walk off, to polite applause from the Lord's crowd 114/7
    18.2 Elwiss advances, slaps back to the bowler! Firmly struck as she looked to get out and drive but it went low to Deepti's left and the India allrounder makes no mistake with a tumbling take. Spirit maintaining their chokehold 106/5
    18.4 round the wicket, looks to use the feet and work leg side, Jonassen wants two... but Franklin won't make it back! The throw from deep midwicket left her well short but she had to sacrifice herself to get Jonassen on strike. Deepti broke the stumps and then hurled for the other end, just in case. She probably knew Franklin was out, because the ball otherwise would have disappeared for overthrows! 108/6
    19.5 dropped in the covers... but the innings finishes with a run-out! Davies survived spooning one straight to Norris, who missed a sitter, only for McCaughan to be caught miles short by Knight's throw as she went looking for two 115/8

    2.2 inswinger, pings the middle of middle! Lanning wafted very loosely across the line, and got nowhere near it! Kept a fraction low, but that was batter error, the pressure told on Australia's legend 11/1
    17.4 round the wicket, pinned on the pads, up goes the finger! This is a huge moment, looks adjacent to the naked eye, beating the inside-edge, striking the inner thigh, is it too high? Umpire's call on height! Flicking the top of the leg bail! Huge, huge moment! 104/5
    5.4 draws the drive, snicked to the keeper! Outside off, skids on through on the angle, Bryce gathers very smartly up to the stumps 25/2
    11.1 pinged straight through the gate! Utter perfection from Ismail, tight initial line, nipping down the slope, Knight's static feet can't react to the pace and movement, back goes her middle stump. A vast moment in this final! 56/3

    14.1 another snorter! A carbon-copy of the Knight dismissal! Angled in at pace, perfect line and length, pinging the top of middle as Gibson plays down the initial line and doesn't get close to it! Ismail is single-handedly keeping Fire burning! 88/4

    18.5 crazy run-out! Firm sweep, straight to midwicket, there's never a run there, Freeborn hurtles down the pitch and has no chance of getting back! A madcap innings from Freeborn, running free! 110/6
