- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.3 straight to short fine leg, and both MI London openers back in the shed now! Matthews will be disappointed with this. Shortish and sliding into the hips. There to be hit but Matthews only offers some catching practice to Johnson. Two wickets in quick succession for London Spirit! 35/24.2 hoicked to deep square leg, and Kapp has a powerplay wicket yet again! Back of a length on middle and off. ADR has a swipe at it but ends up dragging it a little. Picks out the sweeper to perfection, and Pavely does well to hold onto it in front of her face, despite looking into the sun! 30/112.2 off stump out of the ground, and Kapp has the last word! Zipped in on a hard length on off. Armitage backs away, trying to dab it behind point. Backs away too much in the end, though, and is unable to make contact as the ball skids past the outside edge. Off stump flat on the deck, and LS break a threatening stand! 81/315.2 straight through! Pushed in on a length on middle and off. Comes in with the arm and Carey seems to misjudge the length. Goes back to try and cut it but the ball is through her long before the attempt materializes. Middle stump knocked back, and Harris is on the board too! 96/4Extras7 (nb 1, w 6)TOTAL151/4 (20 Overs, RR: 7.55 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-30 (Alice Davidson-Richards, 4.2 ov), 2-35 (Hayley Matthews, 5.3 ov), 3-81 (Hollie Armitage, 12.2 ov), 4-96 (Nicola Carey, 15.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 a wicket off the first ball! Length outside off. Harris looks to go downtown but sluces it badly. Armitage tracks it from extra cover, runs back and takes it calmly over her shoulder. Dream start for MI London! 0/115.3 swiped to deep backward square leg, and this game turns again! Fired into the slot on the pads. There to be hit but Jones cannot get under it fully. Does not muster the requisite elevation and Carey makes no mistake on the fence. This game right back in the balance now! 124/49.1 holes out to long on! Length outside off. Kelly skips down but is not to the pitch. Has to reach out in front and that rids her of some vital power. Arrows it straight to Henry at long on, and a sprightly knock comes to an end! 68/214.5 tame top edge, and Kapp perishes! Fizzed through on a length on off. Lots of over-spin on this, meaning Kapp cannot control her sweep. The ball swirls off the top edge and Gregory, back-tracking from short fine leg, does the rest. A brisk cameo but someone else will have to take LS past the finish line now! 119/319.3 smeared to deep mid wicket, and MI London strike a body blow! Pulls the length back on leg, after sensing the charge. de Klerk skips down anyway and looks to muscle it over deep mid wicket. Not enough power on it and Kerr, stood well inside the fence, gobbles it up. Big, big moment in the game, and a potentially decisive one! 148/5Extras5 (lb 2, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL151/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.55 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Grace Harris, 0.1 ov), 2-68 (Marie Kelly, 9.1 ov), 3-119 (Marizanne Kapp, 14.5 ov), 4-124 (Amy Jones, 15.3 ov), 5-148 (Nadine de Klerk, 19.3 ov)
