These two have just managed to squeeze on the gas a little bit here, going at just over five runs an over.

It's been a really impressive partnership but Hampshire will feel, I'm sure, just like when Lancashire were bowling, if they can just prize one open, get a new batter out there then things change pretty quickly.

Where can Hampshire apply some pressure on Lancashire? These two don't look like they're under pressure.

Daisy Gibb is a bit unlucky there, chasing to cut off Seren Smale's reverse sweep to deep third, she flicks the ball back deftly but it spins back onto the boundary anyway.

It's another expensive over for Bex Tyson, bringing Lancashire another eight and carrying them beyond the 150 mark as well.

Hampshire needed a tighter over after conceding 12 from the previous one and Georgia Adams delivers that - her latest six balls go for five runs.

This is all boiling up nicely and Hampshire need to find a way to break this partnership.

Bex Tyson bowls a loose delivery that Gaby Lewis hammers for four and they pick up 12 in all from the over.

The halfway comparison, by the way, suggests we could be in for a tight finish here - Lancashire on 124-1 were just one run behind Hampshire at the same stage. The home side had also lost one more wicket.

Georgia Adams continues after drinks and the captain's floaty off-breaks immediately nudge the required rate up a little further.

Four dot balls and two singles mean Lancashire now need 6.8 per over.

We've been saying all along that this is a good crowd for a one day women's domestic final.

Today's attendance is 2,536, a record attendance for a women's domestic one-day competition.

What's happening is that Hampshire are trying to build some pressure by trying to join some dot balls but these two are playing so well here that they're now inventing one or two shots.

They've been long enough at the crease, they're seeing the ball well and they're feeling confident.

A scampered single off Bex Tyson brings this partnership into three figures as Gaby Lewis just about makes her ground.

That's the halfway point in the Lancashire chase and time for a drinks break.

Seren Smale follows Gaby Lewis by bringing up her half-century, the second she's scored in this year's tournament and she gets there from 59 balls.

Come on, Gaby Lewis - someone is relaying our commentary to you, surely!

Having expressed concern about the Lancashire run-rate, Lewis responds by pulling Naomi Dattani to the midwicket fence and Seren Smale follows up with a boundary of her own as the over yields 11 runs

A few overs ago, the required rate was edging up - now it's starting to gather pace.

Just four runs from this latest Georgia Adams over, which is enough to lift Lancashire's total above 100 but not at the kind of rate they need to be scoring.

Naomi Dattani's spell in the post-powerplay overs is gradually stifling this Lancashire reply.

The medium-pacer's four overs have gone for 13 and no boundaries in that time, which is a good indicator of her consistency.

Seren Smale uses her feet to Georgia Adams and clubs her emphatically over mid-off for four, but boundaries have become rare rather than routine.

Those were the only runs of the over and, with 30 remaining, Lancashire need 193 - which is almost six-and-a-half an over.

It all feels rather cat and mouse at the moment, with Lancashire ticking along and the required run-rate edging up slightly rather than climbing steeply.

Hampshire will feel they've still got control, but this pair are nicely set - having added 72 so far.

From a Hampshire point of view they need to close this partnership off now and from a Lancashire point of view they need to protect it.

It feels like a pivotal moment.

Georgia Adams brings herself on to bowl off-breaks and immediately causes Seren Smale a few problems as she tries to cut and misses - according to the umpire anyway.

Adams and wicketkeeper Rhianna Southby both appealed for a nick behind, but in vain.

Three runs from the over.

Lancashire aren't letting the run-rate get too high as they continue to tick along.

Four more from Naomi Dattani's second over and the contest is still finely balanced as we come into the final third of these 100 overs.

A ripple of applause greets Gaby Lewis as she completes her half-century from 54 balls.

Lewis goes over the top against Bex Tyson again to bring her another boundary and then completes her 50 - her second of the tournament - with a single.

Another bowling change, with Naomi Dattani bringing a slice of left-arm medium pace to the table.

Lancashire have a nibble, but aren't tucking in just yet as they take four from Dattani's first over.

So after 14 overs Gaby Lewis and Seren Smale have done that in around about the same time, maybe just slightly shy, of Hampshire.
