Commentator: Shashwat Kumar
5:30pm That will be all from us for this game. We have more action lined up in the Hundred, and do join us for that men's game between the London Spirit and the Trent Rockets. Until next time, from all of us here at Cricinfo, it is goodbye!
Nadine de Klerk is the Player of the Match!
5:10pm A game that ebbed and flowed, but it is the visitors who have come out on top. de Klerk the star of the finishing act, remaining unbeaten and seeing the team through. Kelly did most of the heavy lifting prior to it. Harris and Jones did their bits at the top too, even though both would be disappointed to have not carried on. The Rockets had their moments as well. But just when de Klerk and Kelly amped up the pressure, they were unable to come up with an answer or with the incision required to break that partnership.

Adams to de Klerk, SIX, palmed over the bar, and de Klerk ices the run-chase with a maximum! Looped up on a length outside off. de Klerk shuffles across again (as she has been doing for a while now), and smokes a sweep flat towards long leg. The fielder leaps up, tries to take it near her right shoulder but can only parry it over the fence. de Klerk holds her nerve, and the Spirit have their first points of the season!

Adams to de Klerk, 2 runs, full and wide outside off. de Klerk shimmies across, gets down on one knee and sweeps it behind square. Back for a brace and under run-a-ball again
Final five balls of this game. Five needed for the Spirit to win. Adams to bowl. Who are you backing? de Klerk on strike

Gardner to de Klerk, SIX, oh dear - that is the worst ball Gardner could have bowled! Juicy full toss outside off and de Klerk says thank you very much. She goes through the line and carves it over cover!

Gardner to de Klerk, no run, full and wide outside off. de Klerk looks to fetch the slog sweep but only swishes at the fresh Nottingham air. Big dot ball!

Gardner to Pavely, 1 run, very full outside off. Pavely cannot get under this and shanks it towards deep mid wicket
