There is a bit of movement out there when the ball's in the right areas.

Tidy from Danielle Gibson, who gives up just four singles from her opening set.

We saw it from Tara Norris, but Gibson's set has just backed up the fact that there is a bit of swing out there for the bowlers, which well keep them interested.

An expensive start with the ball for Tara Norris, unsurprisingly, leads to a change of bowling from Heather Knight.

Next in is Danielle Gibson, who had a mixed day for the Spirit during their win in the Eliminator over Oval Invincibles.

Five more runs and no more balls on the total. Norris' ball is wide and misses everything, even wicketkeeper Georgia Redmayne and runs behind for five wides.

Tammy Beaumont finds the first boundary of the day at Lord's.

A little tickle fine down the leg side squirms away for four, a clever shot.

Tara Norris is causing problems with the ball swinging early on.

Sophia Dunkley gets off the mark, but it is a bit of a streaky shot.

What I've loved about this tournament is how close it's been all the way to the Eliminator.

Not very often do you get to the nitty gritty, the back end of tournaments and every team is still in it, and I love the fact one new team is going to be on that trophy.

Sophia Dunkley and captain Tammy Beaumont are out in the middle and will open the batting for Welsh Fire.

We've got fireworks and all sorts going off at Lord's and we're just minutes away from the final getting started.

Both teams have made their way out on to the outfield and the atmosphere is certainly building in the capital.

Like the Welsh Fire, London Spirit are in their first ever women's final and got there after winning yesterday's Eliminator against Oval Invincibles.

In their eight group matches, Spirit won four, lost three and the other ended in a draw before winning yesterday's Elimnator.

England and Spirit captain Heather Knight is their leading run-scorer, having scored 211 runs so far.

England spinner Sarah Glenn is the Spirit's leading wicket-taker this year, with nine to her name so far.

Welsh Fire are in their first ever women's final and got here after finishing top of the group.

In their eight group matches, Fire won five, lost two and the other ended in a no-result.

Despite winning the group stage, none of Welsh Fire's batters are in the top 14 run-scorers in the women's competition this season. Hayley Matthews (15th) is their highest, having recorded 176 runs.

With the ball, they do have two of the competition's leading wicket-takers. Jess Jonassen (12) and Matthews (11) are second and third respectively.

With Welsh Fire and London Spirit competing in today's women's final, we are guaranteed to have a first time champion in the women's competition.

The first two editions in 2021 and 2022 were both won by the Oval Invincibles, who lost to the Spirit in yesterday's Eliminator.

Last year, Southern Brave won the title, having finished as runners up in 2021 and 2022. Their final win last year came against the Northern Superchargers.
