    2.5 The slow start tells as Chathli holes out at deep square leg. Full on the stumps and she gets low to try and slog it away. Doesn't middle it, and it doesn't have enough distance on it and Nadine de Klerk makes no mistake 13/2
    1.3 Gone! Kapp gets the big one of Matthews! Goes right through her. Marizanne Kapp at her best. Lands on a length outside off and jags in sharply and has Matthews playing all around it only to get nowhere near the ball, which crashes into the stumps 5/1
    6.2 Uh-oh! Armitage looks to reverse-lap this full ball outside off, but it spin in sharply and just deflects straight up off the leading edge. Simplest of catches for the keeper and MI London lose a third 23/3

    6.3 Big shout for LBW first ball and it's given! And Carey walks! Two-in-two for the London Spirit skipper! Pitched on middle from around the wicket and it straightens off the surface. Carey plays down the wrong line and is hit pretty plumb in front 23/4
    7.1 Dean has her third! This is a length ball outside off that spins in just a touch. Monaghan pushes at it and gets an inside edge and it's a good catch behind the stumps by Jones 23/5
    11.4 De Klerk's golden arm strikes, getting immediate revenge! De Klerk persists with the short ball and Henry latches onto it with the pull, but it's gone straight to deep midwicket and Pavely takes the catch as Henry chastises herself for not getting that away for six 57/6
    13.1 Another one falls! Looks to take on this length ball and ends up chipping it to mid-on off the top edge! Tried to play that on the front foot with a vertical bat, probably not the right option against a back-of-length delivery 60/7
    14.1 Slower ball does the job! A full and straight delivery and Norris takes a stride forward and looks to whip it away but plays down the wrong line, only for the ball to sneak through bat and pad to hit the stumps 64/8
    17.5 Oh, Rainey's gone through her! Slower ball on a length and she misjudges that completely as she tries to stay leg side of it and prods with an open face and loses her leg stump 96/9

    0.2 four and out! The leading edge is held by Matthews at mid-on. Overpitched once again, this one is angled into leg stump. Instead of pumping it into the boundary once again, Harris chips a leading edge to the infielder 4/1
    5.5 Helped into the hands of deep fine leg! Loose ball on the pads from Stonehouse, Jones drops down to one knee and slog-sweeps half-heartedly. Simple catch for Davidson-Richards in the deep. MIL are onto something at Lord's 36/3
    2.3 Kelly shuffles a long way across off. Norris rattles the off stump. With fine leg up in the circle, Kelly searches for the scoop, but does not make contact with the ball. Norris hits the stumps and gives MIL more hope 14/2
    15.5 Kerr provides MIL with a key breakthrough with her last ball! Liberally tossed up on middle, seems like another googly that curves in. Kapp shimmies out, but ends up chipping a catch to midwicket. LS need 30 off 20 93/5
    8.5 Carey comes back and has Dean chopping on! This seems like an offcutter, veers in, Dean topples over and ends up dragging the ball back to her own stumps. Dean departs for 9 51/4
    18.4 taken at deep midwicket. A length ball outside off is slogged in the direction of Monaghan at deep midwicket and she takes a lovely catch, diving to her right 108/7
    18.1 stumped. Matthews' flight draws Pavely out of her crease, but the dip on the ball completely does the batter in. Pavely attempts a panicked strike, and literally does the splits in order to reach the safety of her crease. But she is unable to 105/6

    19.5 short ball outside off, Dottin pulls to deep midwicket. She wants to go for the second. There's no time for it and she ends up run out. MI London win by three runs. 119/8
