The Hundred women's Eliminator: Invincibles v Spirit, The Oval
Spirit chase 114 to win by eight wickets and set up final against Welsh Fire at Lord's on Sunday
Redmayne hits unbeaten 53 and Knight 36 not out, while Invincibles drop several catches
Invincibles restricted to 113-9: Capsey top scores with 30; Dean takes 3-24
Men's Eliminator between Phoenix and Brave at 18:00 BST, with BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra commentary available from 17:45
Dean rattles through her first set, conceding just four runs and taking the big wicket of Paige Scholfield.
Alice Capsey is in to partner Lauren Winfield-Hill and threw her hands at the second ball she faced to find four.

Charlie Dean does it time and time again, she's a wicket taker. She was the fastest women to 50 ODI wickets in international cricket and then this time just full, just spins in the surface, which is encouraging to see but they've done right not to review that.
Scholfield lbw Dean 5 (Invincibles 21-1)
Perfect start for Charlie Dean!
With her first ball of the day, she gets Paige Scholfield playing and missing completely.
Trapped on the front pad. As plumb as you like.
Not a great set for Danielle Gibson, who gives away another four, as 16 runs come from it in total.
She will be replaced by England teammate Charlie Dean.
Back-to-back from Lauren Winfield-Hill, but Danielle Gibson comes close to a wicket.
A thin edge just whistled past keeper Georgia Redmayne and for four more.

Former England bowler on BBC Two
Great shot from the skipper, she's had to be patient, couple of wides down the leg side, just waiting for that ball. Straight through the covers.
Crunch!
An excellent shot from captain Lauren Winfield-Hill finds her first boundary.
Wide on the off side, it is timed perfectly and races away for four.
That's the end of the first set, bowled by Tara Norris.
Just five come from it and now we're going to see Danielle Gibson come into the attack.
Steven Finn
Former England fast bowler on BBC Two
Very nicely played by Scholfield. It suits her being back at the top of the order.
It has taken just three balls, but we do have the first boundary of the day.
A guided cut shot from Paige Scholfield finds the gap in the field for four.
Let's get down to it then.
Both teams are out in the middle and we are just moments away from the start of the Eliminator.
A reminder that the winner of this will play the Welsh Fire in tomorrow's final at Lord's.

It's a factor 50 kind of day at The Oval.
Admittedly, my complexion means I'm weighing up the sun screen on an overcast day in February but it really is a scorcher in south London.
The fire cannons as the players walk out aren't helping either...
