    Trent Boult takes the ball for Phoenix.

    And David Warner gently strokes the first ball to the offside to run two and get things under way here.

  2. Jamie Smith and David Warner will open the batting for London Spirit.

    And the Australian is booed by the Edgbaston crowd as he emerges through the fireworks.

  3. We are now just moments away from the first ball of the final game of this Hundred Sunday.

    Birmingham Phoenix are fielding an unchanged side from their defeat to Northern Superchargers on Friday.

    London Spirit, meanwhile, make one change as Jamie Overton misses out with a knock and is replaced by Olly Stone.

    We have already had a cracking game in the men's competition today.

    Sonny Baker marked his first England call-up with a hat-trick as Manchester Originals boosted their Hundred hopes by beating rivals Northern Superchargers by 57 runs at Old Trafford.

    Baker, called up for England's white-ball squads to play South Africa and Ireland next month on Friday, bowled Dawid Malan with a clever slower ball to reduce the Superchargers to 63-5 and returned at the death to wrap up the innings by dismissing Tom Lawes and Jacob Duffy.

    Baker's first and second wickets may have been separated by 35 balls but his 3-21 continued a steady rise for the 22-year-old seamer who is having a breakout tournament.

    His third wicket, which ensured Superchargers were all out for 114, was a perfect 88mph yorker to Duffy and was his seventh dismissal in the tournament.
