A ten-point game between Super Giants and Spirit, winners and losers today. Lot has to change if the current top-three of the above two or Brave are to be dislodged. Weekend's over for the Women's Hundred, Men's is still going strong. Leeds vs Rockets could get tight and the men will follow this game here at the Oval soon. Do follow along and thanks for joining. Goodnight.

Sophie Ecclestone, POTM: Thrilled to bowl in the powerplay and get a few wickets. It was about match-ups to Hayley and I came on early. Got a good bowling attack, we have a great line-up and hope our good form continues. Nice to get straight in the powerplay, hope Meg gives me more opportunities there.

4:52pm: Smiles and hugs between the batters after a comprehensive win. They consolidate their spot at three on the points table, MI London are all but out with no wins in five games. They were knocked out in the first innings today. Mandhana and Lanning ensured there were no comebacks. Kerr and Gordon got two late, too late as well.

Gordon to Villiers, 2 runs, Is that the end? Might not be, good stop at deep midwicket. Fielder went left and slid across. Was a full ball that was swept

Gordon to Lanning, OUT, Appeal for lbw. Not given. Looked too straight. London have to review, no? They do indeed. Slow-mo replay in and this looks out actually, if she's not hit it. Length ball on middle, straightened a bit to go under the sweep and hit high on the back leg. Knee was on the ground, so height not an issue. Nothing on Ultra-Edge, she's a goner. Yep, ball tracking confirms that'd smash leg. Lanning falls with Super Giants one hit away

Gordon to Lanning, FOUR, Overpitched and that's threaded through cover. It was flat and on the stumps, Lanning got her bat low and used the wrists to hit the gap. Catchable height mind you

Kerr to Villiers, 2 runs, Crowd build up but that's a bad ball. Direct hit at the non-striker's... and overthrows. Shortish and slow on leg, under-edged pull went onto thigh and popped leg side.

Kerr on a hat-trick. Midwicket and cover in catching, slip in too for Villiers

11.4

Kerr to Scholfield, OUT, That should be out. Oh, it's not lbw but bowled. Full ball on middle, Schofield presses forward and looks for a square flick. Plays around it, ball makes a bit of contact, likely with pad, and hits middle

PJ Scholfield b Kerr 0 (1m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0

W
Kerr to Ghosh, OUT, Length on leg, pulled and 'catch that' is the call from the keeper. Deep midwicket takes it. Straight to her. Super Giants' looking to end it quick, costs a couple of wickets. Shouldn't be too consequential
